* ''TheMatrixReloaded'' features this trope ''multiple'' times, many during the freeway chase.
** The movie starts with Trinity leaping out of a skyscraper while fighting an agent, then landing on a parked car.
** Near the start of the chase, one of the twins gets in front of the heroes' car, then phases out and in again - 'leaping' laterally between two cars.
** Shortly after that, an agent pulls up in a police car, jumps from that car onto another car (completely demolishing it), then jumps a second time onto the heroes' car, barely activating the suspension.
** Morpheus tries to stab the twin in the car, causing him to phase out onto the freeway. Seconds later, he phases into the car being driven by the other twin.
** After pulling off the freeway and driving onto an overpass, Trinity and the Keymaker try to escape by leaping off the overpass and landing on a big rig hauling motorcycles.
** When the motorcycle escape doesn't pan out, Trinity drives the Keymaker to a semi that Morpheus is on top of - Morpheus then uses a samurai sword as an impromptu platform, grabs the Keymaker, and flings him onto the semi's trailer - a rare case of someone leaping ''upward'' onto a car cushion.
** Once the Agents see where the Keymaker is, an agent leaps from a freeway overpass onto Morpheus's trailer.
** The agent then defeats Morpheus, causing him to fall off of the trailer and onto a car being driven by Niobe.
** Niobe then drives the car in front of the semi, where Morpheus jumps up and kicks the agent off the trailer, causing him to land on another car.
** This trope is then somehow ''[[InvertedTrope inverted]]'' when the the semi Morpheus is on collides with another semi - Neo then saves him and the Keymaker by pulling them straight up off the exploding trucks.
** Finally, at the end of the film, Neo saves Trinity when she leaps out of the skyscraper by catching her before she hits the car - the agent chasing her falls onto the car instead.
