* In ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'', Indy and his dad escape through Castle Brunwald only to find themselves at a dead end. Indy tries looking for a secret exit; his dad ends up finding it when he sits down and leans back in a chair, revealing a hidden staircase. Unfortunately, Indy was standing right on top of it at the time...

'''Henry Jones, Sr.:''' ''[[Orphaned Punchline|...a solution presents itself!]]'' }}

* In ''[[Death Becomes Her]]'', Madeleine is pushed down a very long flight of marble stairs, [[No One Could Survive That|ending in a battered heap at the bottom with her head twisted around backwards.]]
