When a chase scene involves motorcycles, there seems to be only one way the chase can end. The motorcycle will invariably come across an intersection with a large semi towing a large trailer at the exact moment the trailer is blocking the entire intersection. If it's the hero on the motorcycle, who will often be chased by cops in police cars, then the hero drops to his side and slides safely underneath the semi, while the cops blindly slam into the trailer without stopping. This is possible but extremely dangerous; misjudging the slide can easily result in decapitation by truck or in the rider's low-side leg being ground into paste. If the hero is being chased by motorcycles instead, he will just barely zip around the truck, while his pursuers take the slide and are taken out of the race. Note that motorcycle riders unfortunately used to be advised to try something similar to this if they realize they can't avoid being in a collision. The goal of this maneuver is (incorrectly) to stop in the shortest distance possible, taking a very severe case of road rash in favor of slamming into the back of a stopped vehicle or other obstacle. In real life, stopping with your brakes while remaining upright will bring you to a stop in a much shorter distance and in less time. Intentionally lowsiding is, unfortunately, still passed on from old bikers who have never used the brakes to their fullest extent. This is especially true on newer bikes equipped with ABS. Stereotypical biker leather came about as a means of protection from road rash in case of an accident, and back in the day bikes and road surfaces may have been poor enough to merit this maneuver. See also Instant Convertible for when a car tries to do the same. Has nothing to do with the myth of Mew being under the truck in Vermilion City. Not to be confused with throwing someone under a bus, metaphorically or otherwise. |

Terminator: In Terminator Salvation, one of the Moto-Terminators uses its Artificial Intelligence to instantaneously plot the course of low-bouncing debris hurling towards it, and comes up with this trope as the only solution. Like the Ben 10 example in Western Animation, having no driver makes it easier to recover. And in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Arnie shows you don't need a motorcycle to do this. The TX is on top of a hearse being driven by the T-800, cutting her way through the roof, so he shouts at everyone to get down, then drives underneath the trailer, scraping the entire cabin off with the TX. |

In a cutscene to Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour, a pair of GLA pick-ups and a limo are escaping from a pair of US Humvees. After one of each is eliminated by a falling tower, an oil tanker pulls across an intersection just as the terrorist vehicles cross. The Humvee crashes, and the tanker explodes. Lampshaded by the words "Really Explosive" on the side of the truck. | |

James Bond: A variation in Dr. No. Bond is driving a convertible which gives him enough clearance to drive under a mobile crane, while the hearse full of gunmen chasing him swerves to avoid it and drives off a cliff. During a chase scene in Never Say Never Again, Bond dives under a truck with his motorcycle and exits the other side. In Tomorrow Never Dies, James Bond slides his motorcycle underneath a helicopter that has its rotor blades tilted downwards. |

The Dark Knight. Not a chase scene, since the Joker is coming at Batman head on in a truck, while Batman races towards him on the Batpod. However Batman fires two tow cables that hit the truck and then proceeds to weave in and out between the wheels of the trailer to tie it up. Because the Batpod is built low to the ground and the truck is quite high off the ground, he doesn't need to slide, just drive normally. | |

A humorous case without motorcycles occurs in Kung Fu Hustle. In the scene where the landlady begins chasing Sing they end up running on the road. As they come up on a truck Sing opts to use this trope sliding under the truck at high speeds. The landlady opts to jump over, and ends up hitting a billboard. | |

Hunter (1984). In "The Shooter" the motorcycle-riding Villain of the Week goes around killing motorcycle cops, so Hunter disguises himself as one to lure him out. The subsequent chase scene ends when a truck pulls across their path and they both come off their bikes while doing this trope. | |

Mad Max. Brutally subverted in the climax of the film, when the outlaw biker leader Toecutter is desperately fleeing at high speed from the titular protagonist and fails to notice an oncoming semi truck until it is too late. Unable to even attempt a slide or other evasive maneuver, he collides head on with the truck and is absolutely obliterated. | |

The Fast and the Furious: Subversion: in 2Fast 2Furious, the hero manages to zip into a narrow gap between two trailer trucks. One of the bad guys then tries to do the same, but ends up losing control, then gets stuck under the truck, and is finally splatted by the rear wheels. Contrast with the opening scene in the original, where one of the cars slips underneath a hijacked semi-truck. And manages to stay clear of the wheels. |

In Gleaming the Cube, the Big Bad has kidnapped Brian's love interest just after killing her father for plot-related reasons. Instead of chasing the villain's car with another car, Brian sticks to the movie's theme by holding onto another car while riding his skateboard. During the chase, they end up on a six-lane highway, and Brian in the left lane lets go of the car he was holding to zip under the trailer of an 18-wheeler, grabbing onto a pickup truck driven and ridden in by his skater friends in the right lane. | |

And in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Arnie shows you don't need a motorcycle to do this. The TX is on top of a hearse being driven by the T-800, cutting her way through the roof, so he shouts at everyone to get down, then drives underneath the trailer, scraping the entire cabin off with the TX. | |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games: During the motocross event, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer are forced into this maneuver under the stalks of the giant Man-Eating Plants. Rainbow slides past easily, but Sunset falls off her bike because the next one is too low. | |

Burn Notice: Michael Westen has done this at least once. He takes time to note in his voice-over that, while doable, this maneuver is extremely risky and should only be done when it's absolutely necessary. Works great for deterring pursuers who don't feel like risking life and limb, however. | |

In Terminator Salvation, one of the Moto-Terminators uses its Artificial Intelligence to instantaneously plot the course of low-bouncing debris hurling towards it, and comes up with this trope as the only solution. Like the Ben 10 example in Western Animation, having no driver makes it easier to recover. | |
