Line 45:
== Films -- Live Action ==
* ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]] / Die Hard 4.0'' features an enemy agent girl whose super-agile backflips and kicks almost manage to defeat John McClane, a super-muscular man [[Made of Iron]]; in fact, she only dies after being thrown from an elevator shaft (and exploded). McClane even comments on this:

** He also comments that she was [[Evil Is Sexy|hot]].
* Though not technically combat, Agent 99 uses nimble backflips and other gymnastics moves to thread her way through a laser web in the 2008 ''[[Get Smart (film)|Get Smart]]'' movie.
Line 126:
* Oasis from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' uses this in spades, what with being a gymnast assassin and all.
* Jones from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''. In her one fight (or rather, a practice spar) she used a her agility and a variation on the [[Barehanded Blade Block]] to disarm her opponent and point his own sword at his neck. While wearing a thin, knee-length skirt. It's implied that she's more than human.

'''Antimony:''' ''(angrily)'' Why? Because she's a woman?
'''Eglamore:''' What? No. At this range and indoors, Jones would ''flatten'' me. }}

== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'' lives by it. Got her on the cheerleading team, too.
* The former circus acrobat Ty Lee in ''<nowiki>
* The heroine of ''[[Cybersix]]''.
* ''[[Aeon Flux]]'', to the point that you start wondering whether she has any extra vertebrae. (which, given the [[Bio Punk]] world she inhabits, is a plausible possibility.) At one point, another character gets similiar agility with a cybernetic removable vertebrae.
