Line 184:
** Harry's not the only one to do this, either; {{spoiler|Madrigal Raith attempts to kill Mouse by driving a car into him.}} Again, subverted in that it doesn't work too well; {{spoiler|Mouse turns out to be [[Only Mostly Dead]]}}].
* The pulp series ''The Spider'' featured this several times, at least once with a bus.
* ''[[
* The ''[[Zombie Survival Guide]]'' specifically subverts this trope—saying that it's a good way to ruin your car, spread virus-containing blood everywhere, and turns a fairly easy-to-see walking zombie into a much-harder-to-spot ''crawling zombie.''

Line 221:
** Xander rescues Faith by taking out one of the Sisterhood of Jhe demons with the 57 Chevy Bel Air that he had borrowed from his uncle Rory.
* In ''[[Lost]]'', Hurley breaks into a hostage situation by driving over some of the Others using a Volkswagen Minibus.
* The poor, abused Mule in ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' gets used as a weapon so often. In "The Train Job" Wash uses it to run over one of Niska's goons in the cargo bay shootout.

** Martial arts battles atop unmodified (i.e.: not Battlizer weapon component) motorcycles began in earnest in ''Dino Thunder'', reaching their apex in ''Mystic Force'' where Nick's standard tactic when backed into a corner is to smash a motorcycle into Koragg's face. He does this with both his normal civilian bike and his Mystic Racer. Needless to say, "Bike to the Face" became one of the memes for THAT season...
