Building Swing: Difference between revisions

* An oft-talked about gaffe in ''Star Wars: Return of the Jedi'' is that Luke and Leia's [[Building Swing]] off of Jabba's skiff involved a rope that could not physically be attached to either Jabba's skiff or the rescue speeder.

* Both [[Indiana Jones]] and [[Zorro]] are known to swing from their [[Whip It Good|bullwhips]], though, of course, over much shorter distances than most of the examples here.

* Used to transport Ethan Hunt to an adjacent roof in ''[[Mission Impossible]] III''. Surprisingly realistic, in that the rope was (apparently) properly anchored, and the swing was the equivalent of a human pendulum.

* The 2008 ''[[Get Smart (film)|Get Smart]]'' film subverts this at one point with an attempted swing into a window in the next building. [[Catch Phrase|Missed it by THAT much!]]
