** The "Munchkin Fu" set has a fighting style literally called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Wire Fu]]. It grants +6 to your combat score, but prevents you from wearing armor.

* Averted in the "corridor fight" scene in ''Film/{{Inception}}''. When the one mook falls down a side corridor when gravity shifts to the side, the stuntman's fall was slowed by regular wirework, as were the parts when gravity completely stops. However, for the fight between Arthur and a mook when gravity is spinning out of control, the director went for an even more expensive and time consuming solution, building an entire set inside a huge metal cylinder that could actually be rotated. But it was completely worth the effort, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGg3eBaZrxo the result looks infinitely better]] than any Wire Fu. Because it '''IS''' real.

* There is a really out-of-place instance of this in ''Film/LaraCroftTombRaiderTheCradleOfLife'', when Lara confronts the black market smuggler Chen Lo in a cavern. They engage in a martial arts battle, and at one point Lara jumps on the heads of Terracotta warrior statues as Chen Lo smashes them beneath her feet.
