Catch a Falling Star: Difference between revisions

* The ending of ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' has Ada Wong jump down from a ledge. A few seconds later a helicopter rises into view with Ada sitting inside it, having apparently fallen through the roof and, yes, the rotors.

* [[Final Fantasy XIII]] has the beginning of Chapter 11, where Fang ''and'' Lightning summon [[Transforming Mecha|Bahamut]] to save the party after their airship is crippled

* Done routinely in ''[[Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]''. Traveling is accomplished by either leaping off one of the [[Floating Continent|Floating Continents]] of Skyloft or catching an updraft from the surface world, then whistling for Link's [[Giant Flyer|Loftwing]], who will swoop in out of nowhere to catch him without fail.

 

* In an unusual case of the craft doing the falling part, the second season finale of ''[[Justice League]]'', "Starcrossed," has Batman piloting the Watchtower (the League's orbital base) on a kamikaze descent to destroy an alien engine. He's pulled out of the collapsing wreckage by Superman seconds before impact.

** This is pretty much what [[Superman]] ''does''. Word of advice: If you plan on killing yourself by jumping off a building, don't do it in Metropolis. If you're looking for an exclusive interview, on the other hand, by all means jump out that 30th-story window...

*** This is [[Deconstruction|deconstructed]] in [[The Incredibles]]. A guy jumps off a building, Mr. Incredible catches him at an 90-degree angle, smashing through a glass window in the process. Mr. Incredible is [[Hilarity Sues|sued]] for the resulting injuries.

** Superman (again) does it to Batman (again) after the Batplane is eaten by alien nanomachine dogs, and his ejection seat is destroyed. Fortunately, Batman is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to know he's got time, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unl8l8VdONw calmly calls for help over the radio].
