Line 20:
* ''[[Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex]]''. Having a cyborg body helps.
* In the first episode of ''[[Murder Princess]]'', a group of bounty hunters bursts through a palace window on a motorcycle with balls of fire for wheels.
* [[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate]] jumps through (or is thrown through) windows without any protection, as just one of his near-superhuman abilities. Klaus does this later on, as well, but he was [[Shout
* Seto Kaiba did this once in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' anime; so did Edo Phoenix in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX|GX]]''.
* Spoofed in the "New Year's Cleaning" episode of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', where Keroro does a [[Super Window Jump]] into the bathroom to tell Natsumi she's not cleaning the bathtub properly... only to get knocked back ''out'' the window for getting broken glass all over the floor.
Line 78:
== Fanfiction ==
* The skylight variation is used in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'' {{spoiler|when Kyon interrupts a meeting whilst holding a spy.}}
* ''[[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.
Line 100:
* The titular character in ''[[Spawn]]''. Justified with his costume and cape acting as armor and Spawn being undead and thus unharmed even by bullets. That, and the fact that the movie hardly takes itself seriously.
* 1994's ''[[The Shadow (Film)|The Shadow]]'' does a variation on this. Villain Shiwan Khan jumps out a window, to be sure, but he first breaks the glass telekinetically.
** Farley Claymore later ends up diving through a window overlooking the lobby (three floors up) while trying to flee from the Shadow, notably after the Shadow [[Psychic
* [[James Bond (Film)|James Bond]] smashes through a window unaided in a highly dramatic fashion in ''[[Goldeneye (Film)|Goldeneye]]'' as he escapes interrogation.
** In ''[[Quantum of Solace (Film)|Quantum of Solace]]'', both Bond and one of the fellows from Quantum manage to fall ''through a skylight'' after scrapping with one another, fall onto some scaffolding, and scrap for a single pistol in order to shoot the other bastard.
Line 144:
* ''[[Smallville]]''
* ''[[Spaced]]'' had a brilliant moment with Simon Pegg and a surprise window exit.
* The Doctor from ''[[
** Which made it all the more [[Badass]].
** Technically it was part timeportal, part mirror, but 100% [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome!]]
Line 190:
* In ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', Leon is capable of jumping through windows without injury, simply by covering his face, which is good, because he tends to exit buildings this way. He also almost never climbs ''down'' a ladder.
** Leon really takes it to the extreme in this game. Almost any window you can walk up to can be leapt through with no consequence (and thanks to the giant flashing button on the screen, it's encouraged). Leave a house through the door? NEVER; OUT THE SECOND FLOOR WINDOW! Climb down a ladder in the three story tower? NO, JUST JUMP STRAIGHT DOWN! It's worth noting you can break a window and still jump through it, but it often just has Leon hop over the windowsill instead of [[Rule of Cool|diving through it]].
* Marle in ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'' does this (in slow motion) to rescue her father on trial. Bonus points, though a ''[[Bloodstained
* ''[[Call of Duty Black Ops (Video Game)|Call of Duty Black Ops]]'': Double points here.
** Once during the campaign, while zip-lining INTO a window.
Line 206:
* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'': This is Saxton Hale's preferred way of entry. To top it all off, he manages to succeed doing this while ''jumping from a plane without a parachute''!
* The original ''[[Syphon Filter]]'' has Logan jump through the Expo Center lobby's glass ceiling 50 feet up. He jumps through another window to enter Rhoemer's cathedral stronghold.
* In ''[[Resident Evil Code Veronica]]'', Steve jumps through a window in [[Bullet Time]], a [[Shout
* The NES game ''Rescue: The Embassy Mission'' had your rescue operatives do this, as shown on the cover.
* Used as one of many possible takedowns in ''[[Batman Arkham Asylum]]'' and its [[Batman Arkham City|sequel]].
