Line 39:
* ''[[Life Is Beautiful]]'', though it was a short fall into hay and she probably would have been fine without him.
* Played straight AND subverted to good effect in the movie ''[[Enchanted]]'' -- in the fairy tale world Prince Edward easily catches Princess Giselle in his arms in a straightforward fashion. Later, in "real world" New York, Princess Giselle falls on Robert and knocks him over. (Which is probably what would really happen if a woman fell on a man.)
** If you've seen the ending of the film, this trope gets {{spoiler|inverted! After Robert wakes Giselle with [[True Loves Kiss|True Love's Kiss]], Narissa transforms into a dragon, kidnaps Robert and goes to the top of the Woolworth Building. Later, she falls down to her death, and Giselle, who chased after Narissa, catches Robert and both managed to stay on the roof, away from sure death. To add effect to the scenes, they pulled an [[Ironic Echo|ironic echo]] of the "Is this a big habit of yours, falling off stuff?" question.}}
* Done for laughs in the in the live-action film of ''[[Little Women]]'' with Winona Ryder. Meg, Jo, Laurie and John Brooke return from an evening at the theater, and as they exit the carriage, Jo raves about the lead actress being "a wonderful swooner."
{{quote| '''Jo:''' If only ''I'' were the swooning type! [''dramatically falling from the carriage'']<br />
Line 71:
* This is how Will and Caleb meet on ''[[WITCH (Animation)|WITCH]]''.
* Well, they're kids, but ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' [[Inverted Trope|inverts this]] in one episode where Phineas is falling to his near-death, gets saved by an impromptu trampoline his love interest Isabella comes up with and bounces off of it into her arms.
* Used in ''[[Nine9 (Animation)|Nine]]'', when 9 {{spoiler|rescues 7 from The Seamstress}}.
* Inverted twice in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', where [[Action Girl|Katara]] catches [[The Chosen One|Aang]]. The first time plays the trope more traditionally, as he tumbles into her arms [[Post Dramatic Stress Disorder|after leaving the Avatar State]], opens his eyes to see her face and [[Love At First Sight|falls in love]].
** The second combines this with [[Pieta Plagiarism]], as she {{spoiler|catches his falling corpse after [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Azula turns off]] his [[Power Floats|floating]] for him.}}
