Super Window Jump: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[National Lampoon]]'' did a parody of Nick Fury in the Nixon years - G. Gordon Liddy, Agent of C.R.E.E.P. - where Liddy entered ''every'' room in this fashion.

* Lampshaded by Shiva in an issue of ''[[Birds of Prey]]'' when Cheshire jumps out of a window and Black Canary jumps out after her.

* Ethan, Ashleigh & Skink do this from the Raven castle in ''Scion'' to escape from Bron. They land in water.

* This is how the protagonists enter and exit a rather badly damaged building in the [http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=3429 first Gemini Storm issue].

* Made explicit in Dynamite's ''[[Lone Ranger]]'' comic.

'''Lone Ranger''': No one ''talks'' about the people taking the stairs. They don't ''spread stories'' about them. They don't make them ''greater'' than what they are... or something to be ''feared.'' }}

* [[Iron Man]] once used this trope on a skylight when stopping a hostage situation, while using his repulsors to destroy the glass shards to make certain he didn't accidentally kill the hostages himself.

* ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' continuation fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6949110/1/A_Piece_Of_Glass A Piece Of Glass]'' has OC Breech Loader throw a chair at a window, which only cracks. She uses the weakened glass and her running momentum to smash through it and drop three stories to the ground, to escape Arkham Asylum. [[The Joker]], who was using her much louder escape as a diversion for his own, is very impressed.

* As demonstrated in the second page quote, L does this at one point in ''[[Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami]]''. It is completely insane.

* In the My Little Pony fanfic ''[[Article 2]]'' it is subverted and deconstructed at the same time. Shane shoots the glass panel first to only then dive through it, and the cuts he suffered are very frequently mentioned.

 

** He does this again in the season 2 premiere, when he's trying to escape from {{spoiler|Cameron after she'd temporarily gone rogue.}}

* Omar Little did this to escape certain death on ''[[The Wire]]''. Unusually for the trope he is badly injured by this move.

* Col. Flagg tries this in an episode of ''[[M*A*S*H|M* A* S* H]]'', after telling the others in the room to look away since he has to leave like the wind, traceless. Crash. 'The wind just broke his ankle.'

* In ''[[Father Ted]]'', Father Jack repeatedly exits the parochial house by jumping through the window, whether it's fleeing in terror from a nun or just because he can't be bothered to use the door. Subverted when they install the Plexiglass. The window remains undamaged as Jack bounces to the floor.

* Happens in the last episode of ''[[Birds of Prey (TV series)|Birds of Prey]]'' when Barbara and Dinah {{spoiler|swing into their villain-occupied headquarters through the gigantic clock tower window.}}

* Done a couple of times in ''[[Highlander the Series]]''. It helps when you know you're immortal and will heal within minutes.

* [[Arfenhouse|CRASH! "JO'Z HEER!"]]

* ''[[The Nostalgia Critic]]'' ran off-screen and did this upon learning that the kid in ''[[Jingle All the Way]]'' was played by Jake Lloyd, the same actor as [[Star Wars|Anakin "Annie" Skywalker]]:

* Adam Dodd in v3 of ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' escaped a grenade thrown into the barracks he was hiding in by jumping off a cot and through a window, somehow avoiding injury.

* Parodied in ''[[Code Ment]]''. When Lelouch jumps out of a second story window, a corresponding clip from ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' plays as a sort of "stunt double".

== Webcomics ==

* [[Dominic Deegan]] ends up doing one [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2011-01-26 here]. Sorry, haters, but it's just an [[Imagine Spot]]; he's not leaping to his death.

* Plasma-Man has done this [http://amazingplasmaman.com/comics/32 at least] [http://amazingplasmaman.com/comics/57/ twice] in ''[[The Incredible and Awe Inspiring Serial Adventure of The Amazing Plasma-Man]]''.

* In ''[[Order of the Stick]]'', this is one of the special abilities of the Dashing Swordsman prestige class, [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0392.html which is demonstrated] right after Elan [[Took a Level In Badass|takes a level in it]].
