Line 11:
== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'' [[The Dragon|Giriko]] complains the limousine Arachne's Butler arranged to pick them up with after she was resurrected was too cramped and invoked this trope while it was still stationary. Being an [[Ax Crazy]] guy [[Equippable Ally|with the ability]] to turn into a [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]] does that.
* In ''[[Durarara!!]]'', Shizuo pulls this off on {{spoiler|Horada}}'s car by slicing the top off with a highway sign.
Line 25:
** ''Terminator 2'': When the T-1000, driving a semi, crashes into a demolished bridge, destroying the roof of the truck, the T-1000, being made of liquid metal, is able to reconstruct itself and continue the chase.
*** Reconstruct? It ''ducked''.
**** Both. The T-1000 morphed down into the cab to dodge the impact; the actor leaned over to dodge the expense of another costly special effect.
** ''[[Terminator]] 3'' does this with a hearse, badly damaging the terminator trying to cut though the roof in the process.
* Averted in ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]''. They're already ''in'' a convertible, and it suffers no damage whatsoever when it goes under a truck.
* In ''[[Smokey and the Bandit]]'', Sheriff Buford T. Justice has this happen to him when he can't avoid a truck carrying a concrete I-beam. He continues to drive the roofless police cruiser at high speed across several states for the rest of the movie.
