* Popular with Creator/JohnWoo, for obvious reasons.
* The Brandon Lee HeroicBloodshed film ''Legacy of Rage'' is the UrExample of this trope.

Quite simply, a slow motion shot of a person throwing themselves to one side, firing as they go. Often with [[GunsAkimbo two guns]]. Bonus points if they are submachine guns or machine pistols blazing on full automatic. In real life, firing while jumping not only significantly reduces accuracy, but is a serious waste of energy. And that's if you don't hurt your shoulder when you land. In the media, it either [[RuleOfCool looks impressive]] or [[DeadHorseTrope looks overdone]].

* One of the soldier protagonists of ''WebVideo/ShockTroopers'' leaps from behind his [[ImprobableWeaponUser defibrillator-wielding co-combatant]] to shoot out one of the enemy mooks... moments before another mook who has been hit by the [[MagicalDefibrillator defibrillator]] gets BlownAcrossTheRoom into the guy who just got shot.
