Line 36:
* Averted in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: Dead Man's Chest,'' where the rope bridge does not sway dangerously, snap, or get cut. It's just a bridge.
* ''[[The Phantom (film)|The Phantom]]'' movie had a rope bridge the bad guys have to drive a truck over. Unsure if it will support the truck's weight, they force a native child to drive it over for them. It collapses while the bad guys are fleeing, allowing them to escape as the Phantom is forced to save the boy.
* In the film version of ''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'', Horton has to cross a bridge to Mt. Nool with the entire Who planet dangling on a speck of dust on his trunk!
{{quote|"Don't panic... Whoever built this bridge obviously took into account that elephants will be crossing it."}}
* ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'': A truly [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|epic]] fight takes place on a rope bridge. The bridge ''was'' perfectly safe before the combatants started damaging it....
Line 79:
* [http://blockland.us Blockland]: This is true of virtually every rope bridge. Ever. It actually got to the point where a rope bridge was built and advertised simply because it ''didn't'' collapse.

** It's debatable whether they're meant to be rope bridges, since they're always parallel to the bottom of the screen and they never sag or sway, although this may be due to gameplay limitations. The graphics leave a lot of ambiguity as to what material they're made of. At any rate, definite rope bridges appear in ''[[
** And Hightail Falls from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' composes entirely of planets held together by a planet-sized rope bridge.
* ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and its successors get lots of mileage out of this trope (although the bridges are usually sturdy).
