* [[Robot Girl|Chachamaru]] of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' sprouts a jetpack from her back in this manner. Though she herself is undoubtedly resistant to heat, her standard issue school uniform always remains unsinged (might also be a case of [[Magic Pants]] since the jets appear through her blouse and blazer).
Line 31:
* ''King Of The Rocketmen''
* ''[[The Rocketeer (film)|The Rocketeer]]'' tries to [[Hand Wave|handwave]] this by suggesting that the alcohol-based fuel will result in a cooler flame (which is true)-- but said fuel will not produce nearly enough energy. Points for trying, though.
* ''[[Minority Report]]'', anyone? It gets even more ridiculous when the protagonist is fighting a jetpack-equipped police officer ''inside an apartment'' without the (blue-hot) jet exhaust setting anything on fire.
** Though to be fair, the exhaust flame ''does'' set a few other things on fire. Which is more realism than you'll generally see in a movie jetpack.
* [[Star Wars|Boba and Jango Fett.]] Though they are wearing what is likely heat-resistant armor. Averted by other Mandalorians in the EU, who make use of a skirt like ''Kama'', which is made out of flame retardant materials to protect their leges.
* Averted in ''[[Thunderball]]'', which has a real frickin' jetpack. (

* Actor Robert Duncan McNeill recounted at a recent{{when}} Con of his time as Tom Paris on ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' that his rear did catch fire from the jetpack in a "Captain Proton" episode. The on site nurse had him drop trou right there to make sure everything was all right. He claims Tim Russ has photos.
* At least approached in ''[[Upright Citizens Brigade]]'' episode "The Story of the Toad", in which Antoine asks two prostitutes, "Hey... How would you ladies like to make love while wearing a jetpack?" but then cautions, "We can't do it doggy style though, you'll set me on fire."
Line 88:
* Aversions in ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', and ''[[Static Shock]]'': Both Terry and Richie have jets, but they're mounted on their 'feet'', rather than their backs.
** And by extension, any character that opts for Jet-Boots over a Jet-pack.
* Also, the movie ''[[Batman:
* Brought up in ''[[El Tigre]]'', where Manny rejects [[Dating Catwoman|BlackCuervo's]] [[We Can Rule Together]] offer with a jetpack for incentive. (Which Manny really, really wants) As Cuervo flies off, Manny tries to console himself by talking about this trope.
