Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A character operating a vehicle is in a tight spot; there's something blocking the path, someplace too high and/or far to reach, etc. What to do? Look for something that could remotely be used as a ramp, or just build one, to perform a Ramp Jump. A Sub-Trope of Theme Park Landscape. Not to be confused with Use Your Head, which covers improvised ramming. Compare Benevolent Architecture. Examples: |

James Bond Diamonds Are Forever: while in a chase with police cars in a parking lot, Bond uses an overturned car as an improvised ramp to jump his car to safety. The Man with the Golden Gun has a cool broken-bridge improvised ramp that leads to the car making a 360 degree jump. In Octopussy it's Station I agent Vijay who does this in a souped-up autorickshaw, driving up some planks right over the head of a startled camel. In No Time to Die, Bond uses this trope several times; not only to jump his own vehicle but to take out enemy vehicles or avoiding being run over by them. He's caught unarmed on top of an ancient Roman aqueduct with a SPECTRE car about to run him over, so throws himself behind a buttress that's just big enough to cause the car to jump over his body. Moments later, he rides a motorcycle up a staircase, launching it past the landing and onto the next terrace above. Later on in Norway, Bond is being chased by enemy SUV's and uses his environment to cause several of them to crash via this trope, including an SUV driven by Ash that he tricks into driving into a sturdy log hidden by fog and foliage, causing it to flip upside down. |
