Similar to a Slow-Motion Drop but instead of an inanimate object dropping, we see a person falling backwards (or, rarely, forwards) in slow-motion, usually, after being shot. Bonus points if their True Companions are watching: it's the cue for an appropriately slowed down Big "NO!". There's a bit of Truth in Television to this, as stressful situations can cause people's perception of time to slow down due to the adrenaline pumping. See also Disney Villain Death. Sub-Trope of Death Is Dramatic. If it goes on long enough for it to start being funny, it's I Fell for Hours. Be warned that this is frequently a Death Trope! |

Cowboy Bebop: Julia. This one comes with Disturbed Doves in the background... When Spike falls from the stained glass window in the first chapter featuring Vicious, we get one of the slowest drops of all time. Spike falls through the air for fully 1 minute 50 seconds as both he and Vicious have flashbacks, some of which are themselves in slow motion. |

Near the end of Resident Evil 5, Chris and Sheva open up the plane's cargo door to make Wesker fall out. Wesker grabs Sheva's ankle in attempt to me drag her out with him. Sheva loses her grip and the scene of her and Wesker falling plays in slow motion. If you fail to grab her in time, Sheva is sucked out of the plane with Wesker, ending in a game over. | |

Zombie Land Saga: In the very first episode, Sakura is flung into the air after being hit by an oncoming truck, and the scene slows down right as she's about to come falling to the ground, dead. This scene is recreated multiple times throughout the show, sometimes Played for Laughs and sometimes Played for Drama. In episode 7, Junko is hit by Kotaro's van in an almost mirror fashion to Sakura, who can't help but feel Déjà Vu. Played for Laughs. In episode 10, Sakura is once again hit by a truck running out of a house. Played for Drama as it causes her to suffer amnesia of her (un)life as a zombie. In episode 10, Maimai slips on a bar of soap that Kotaro drops, creating a scene that parallels the show's first episode. |

Done for hilarity and/or cruelty in Shaolin Soccer when a woman slipping on a banana peel is stretched out to more than a minute with multiple camera angles for good measure. In the epilogue, she slips on another peel, but has now learned Kung Fu, so she rights herself in mid-air and then performs a Slow-Motion Pass-By on the man who popularized Kung Fu for a new generation. | |

Done with Boromir at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring. When the first arrow hits him, he staggers and falls slowly to his knees... but, since this is his Dying Moment of Awesome, he stands back up and keeps fighting while the scene remains in slow motion. It's repeated when he's hit by a second arrow, falls, and stands again, but the third arrow finishes it. The scene returns to normal speed when Aragorn crashes into the Uruk-Hai archer. | |

Happens to Haruhi in the last episode of Ouran High School Host Club, though she was just thrown over the side of a bridge instead of being shot. The thing is, she falls so slowly that Tamaki has time to say thanks to Eclaire, get out of a carriage, jump over a car and off a bridge, grab and hug Haruhi, and execute a swan dive before she actually starts falling. Lampshaded in episode 4 when Tamaki collapses after being repeatedly insulted by Renge. | |

The Lethal Weapon films feature Riggs in non-lethal examples: Jumping along with the suicidal guy (they're supposedly cuffed together; you can see the stunt doubles jumping uncuffed) in I. Falling, along with Leo Getz and an unknown goon, into a swimming pool, in II. Falling, then hanging on for dear life after driving a motorcycle off an unfinished freeway ramp, then falling again on to some scaffold, in III (both falls can be seen in the preview). |

The Matrix Reloaded: At the start of the film, Neo has been having recurring dreams where his lover Trinity falls out of an office window when she's cornered by an agent, while turning around and shooting at him until he kills her. Then it seems to happen for real, but Neo ultimately saves her before she hits the ground and removes the bullet with his matrix-warping powers. | |

The Lord of the Rings: Done with Boromir at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring. When the first arrow hits him, he staggers and falls slowly to his knees... but, since this is his Dying Moment of Awesome, he stands back up and keeps fighting while the scene remains in slow motion. It's repeated when he's hit by a second arrow, falls, and stands again, but the third arrow finishes it. The scene returns to normal speed when Aragorn crashes into the Uruk-Hai archer. Haldir's death in The Two Towers movie is an interesting take on this as we see it through his eyes. Followed promptly by a Foe-Tossing Charge by Aragorn. |
