{{quote|''Riding on a rocket, I wanna go to Pluto...''|'''[[Shonen Knife]]''', "Riding on a Rocket"}}
[[Speculative Fiction]]'s answer to the [[Flying Broomstick]], in which a character rides on a rocket.
Not to be confused with [[Riding the Bomb]], as this trope involves flying and being able to navigate the projectile rather than just having it fall.
Line 22:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The [[Norman Osborn|Green Goblin's]] initial introduction in ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'' has him riding a rocket powered broomstick before upgrading to his famed [[Hover Board|Goblin Glider]]
* The Penguin has ridden on a number of rocket powered Umbrellas in the ''[[Batman]]'' comics. They are referred to as "Umbrella Jet Packs" in ''[[Batman: The Movie]]''.
* Leni "Sky Witch" Muller from ''[[Top Ten]]'' rode a rocket powered broomstick.
Line 32:
== [[Literature]] ==
* Rocket-powered rideable craft much like broomsticks are used in asteroid mining in ''[[The Rolling Stones (novel)|The Rolling Stones]]'' by [[Robert A. Heinlein]].
* At least one [[Star Wars]] book took a speeder bike and turned it [[Up to Eleven]], welding the controls of a bike to a PODRACER engine. Han commented it must shake considerably when it breaks the sound barrier. The owner answered that it did. He later experienced it first hand.
Line 39:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]]'' had Mystic Racers. Like other examples mentioned here, they're high-tech versions of the [[Flying Broomstick]] (well, they're wizard Rangers - what else would they ride?).
* ''[[The Adventures of Brisco County Jr]]'': In order to catch up with some bad guys on a speedingtrain, Brisco rides a prototype rocket which he has mounted on the train tracks and uses his saddle to stay on.
