Line 37:
** Though it was actually an illusion; they were being held up by a fan.
*** A variation on this was done in ''[[Undercover Brother]]'', where the titular hero was first being led to the BROTHERHOOD headquarters, the entrance was through a barbershop. Then the seats drop, and we see Undercover Brother and Sistah Girl falling for quite a while, with UB screaming all the time. Then it turns out they only dropped a single story with the fans and some clever lighting providing the falling effect.
* Even in the book Gandalf later on claims to have been falling forever, but in the movie version of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]: The Two Towers'' we actually see Gandalf and the Balrog falling down the pit under the Bridge of Khazad-Dûm, taking several minutes to reach the bottom, and [[Free-Fall Fight|fighting each other all the way down]].
* In ''[[Twice Upon a Time (1983 film)|Twice Upon a Time]]'', Flora falls for so long after stepping out of Rod Rescueman's flying bachelor pad, Rod has enough time to wash and iron one of his dirty capes before flying to her rescue... sorta.
* In ''[[Bill and Ted (film)|Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey]]'', the two title characters find themselves in this situation when they are exorcised by Missy and her new age friends. After several minutes of screaming, Bill remarks, "Dude. This is a totally deep hole" and Ted replies "Yeah...now what?" and they start screaming again because there is nothing else they can do. The drop lasts so long and Bill and Ted are so bored that they end up playing "Twenty Questions" before ''finally'' hitting the bottom (Hell).
Line 94:
* Many stage fatalities in the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' series feature this, but the one most in effect of this trope is the Sky Temple in ''Deception'' (which returns in ''Armageddon''), from which the fall is outrageously long.
* The loading screens of ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]: The Wrath of Cortex'' only show Crash falling, and never hitting any ground.
* ''[[Metroid Prime]] 3: Corruption'' has, in what has to be a [[Homage]] to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Samus fighting Ridley in freefall early in the game. The shaft they're falling down is explicitly shown to be several kilometers deep. Samus survives because Rundas catches her before she hits bottom. Ridley survives because [[Joker Immunity|he's Ridley]].
* ''[[Halo]]'' loves this and on several occasions has Master Chief and Noble 6 jump from space ships to either land on another ship several kilometers below, or go all the way down to the planets surface.
* Twice in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'':
