History Main / GroundShatteringLanding

* Selene does this in the opening of ''{{Underworld}}''. Her legs not breaking can be excused by her being a vampire. Her '''high-heeled boots''' on the other hand...

* Characters on ''{{Champions Online}}'' do this if falling from a high enough height. Always happens if you use Super Jump or Rocket Jump.

* The fat and heavily armored knight in ''{{Trine}}'' is heavy enough to break fragile surfaces (such as wooden planks) by falling on them from a good height.

** TheHulk often uses this as an attack.
** Ironman's famous ThreePointLanding pose is well known for causing this kind of damage.

* An actual power in ''TheIncredibleHulk: Ultimate Destruction'',with several variations.
* Sonic can do this with the bounce/bound attack in some of the games. Knuckles can also do this.

* You can do this everytime you respawn in {{Section 8}}'s multiplayer... which is to be expected since 'respawning' includes dropping in (Being shot out of a {{dropship}}) from 15 kilometers above ground with nothing but your PowerArmor. While you do have airbrakes to give you a somewhat softer landing, there's always the possibility of some self-induced DeathFromAbove on some poor sap who forgot to look up to see you coming.

* As testament to the [[TheyJustDidntCare lack of time spent]], the SoOkayItsAverage DS game of the ''{{Transformers}}'' film does this whenever you jump.

* Ezio in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' does this during the opening cinematic, after escaping from his impending hanging by wrapping the rope around the hangman's neck and jumping off, untying himself while dangling in midair, then falling at least three stories and finishing with a ThreePointLanding. Better, this is {{canon}}, as gameplay starts immediately following the event, from which Ezio walks away [[MadeOfIron without a scratch]]. Did we mention that he's [[BadassGrandpa 52]] at the time?

* Alex Mercer in the game ''{{Prototype}}'' can do this. The best part is that some landings can send cars flying depending on the height you jump from!
* Cole in ''InFamous'' also can do this. Extra fun when you [[DynamicEntry charge up with electricity on your way down...]]

* Nathan Explosion does this in the title-opening for ''Metalocalypse'', but it's just for drama since he can't do this in the actual series.

* Major Kusanagi does it both in the ''StandAloneComplex'' and [[Anime/GhostInTheShell the movie version]] of ''GhostInTheShell''.
