Line 121:
* ''[[The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]'': In "The Treacherous Movie Lot Plot", Zippy catches the other mobsters in his plane as the mechanical ape destroys the other planes.
* In the [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]] pilot movie, Booster catches XR this way.
* ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'' demonstrates that their version of Hawkman is not [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|a wuss]] by having to do this with ''the entire Batmobile''.
* Also done in [[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|the original]], and notable for doing it somewhat ''right'' in at least one instance. In "Old Wounds", Batgirl gets knocked off the tallest building in Gotham by the Joker just as Robin arrives. Robin hits the ejector on his cycle and is propelled up to her. He grabs her just after the apex of his flight (where his velocity is effectively near zero), and deploys his [[Grappling Hook Pistol]], swinging them in an arc to a nearby roof. Arcs, of course, are the safest way to dump kinetic energy without a ''lot'' of padding at the bottom.
* In the pilot of ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]'', Baloo dramatically rescues Kit this way after he's been thrown off a pirate airship.
