Line 67:
* [[Clint Eastwood]] as cop Harry Callahan does this a few times. In the first movie ''[[Dirty Harry]]'', Harry jumps from an overpass onto the roof of a schoolbus taken hostage by the Scorpio Killer. In the sequel ''[[Magnum Force]]'' a mobster trying to escape a police raid speeds out in a getaway car and Harry clings to the hood of it.
* Done with an airplane in ''[[The Mummy Trilogy|The Mummy 1999]]'', though it probably wasn't moving when they got on it; two people ride on the wings of a two-seater plane.
* ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'' -- What—What ''doesn't'' Cap take an [[Outside Ride]] on? Taxicab, personal submarine, speeding train, drone aircraft ....
** Shows up a couple of times in ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]''. Thor makes his entrance by landing on the team Quinjet {{spoiler|so he can grab Loki from them and take him back to Asgard.}}
 
Line 89:
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* At least one 1920's bank robber favored involuntary Outside Rides -- heRides—he would put a solid row of hostages on his getaway car's running boards until he got out of town.
* Unfortunately, teenagers + booze + cars can equal [[Truth in Television]] for this trope. It normally ends with a trip to the hospital (or morgue), since they never add in safety harnesses.
* [[Real Life]]: The remora, a fish that uses a suction cup on its head to hitch rides with sharks.
