Line 52:
* Parkour seems to be the main mode of locomotion for the stray boys Black and White in ''[[Tekkon Kinkreet]]''.
* ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]'' has some of this while Batman and Nightwing are chasing Red Hood.
* Shows up, weirdly enough, in the ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' movies (particularly 3), with Woody, Buzz and Jessie pulling off borderline ninja moves.
* In the DVD commentary for Shane Acker's ''[[9|Nine]]''—the feature film—it's stated that the movements of resident badass 7 were heavily inspired by this, as well as skateboarding and watching female athletes perform other various sports activities. It shows.
* The [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] always had a bit of Parkour in them, but TMNT, the CGI movie, has them doing full on parkour runs of the city. Even more impressive is that each turtle has his own preference and style of moving.
Line 87:
* In ''[[Colombiana]]'', Cataleya (even as a little girl!) and a random mook use this.
* In ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' and its sequels, Alice uses this at times.
** In ''[[Resident Evil: Afterlife]]'', Claire runs up a wall (in a wet bathroom!) to evade the Executioner.
* Spoofed in ''[[Johnny English Reborn]]'' when English is chasing an assassin with these skills; English runs him down by doing mundane things like squeezing between air-conditioner units instead of running over them, using a crane instead of jumping between buildings, and taking the elevator instead of climbing down the scaffolding.
* In the early parts of ''[[Kingsman: The Secret Service]]'', Eggsy makes use of parkour to escape a gang who want to beat him up.
