** More directly done by Po to the Wolf Boss in the second film.

* Wrestling/TooColdScorpio introduced the wrestling world to what is now known at the four fifty splash (though some credit Scott Steiner), which involves making two rotations before landing on your belly. Paul London and Justin Gabriel would later introduce it to WWE fans. Some wrestlers such as [[Wrestling/TakuyaSugi Yoshitsune]] and Rich Swann have taking to using an "imploding" 450 splash, which is doing the move backwards.

* In ''VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus'', this is Raleigh's primary form of attack; that is, [[BalloonBelly he inflates himself]] and bounces around the arena, trying to crush you.
** The sequels allow you to do this with Murray's "Thunder Flop".

* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters '', Chang Koehan is fond of this move, often done as his LimitBreak.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'' series, the Jack robots (and the first Kuma) have an attack-throw called Hell Press where they spring forward and used their weight to squash their opponent into the ground, which could be followed up with one of several attacks depending on which character had performed it.

* [[Wrestling/JimmySnuka Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka]] was famous for his top rope splash finisher, most memorably when he did it from the top of a steel cage(though Gypsy Joe [[OlderThanTheyThink did it before him]]). Later acts such as Val Venis and Erica Porter would use the move as well. Wrestling/TheUsos and his own daughter Wrestling/TaminaSnuka are known for often jumping much higher than needed off the turn buckle.

* In ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', an iconic image from the ballet sequence is a girl (a hippo) leaping into the arms of her lover (a crocodile), only to squash him because she's more than he can handle. WordOfGod has it that the entire "Dance of the Hours" section is meant to suggest a performance by an amateur ballet company, i.e. it might have funny moments due to the dancers' limited skill, but isn't being played for laughs.

->''"Allow me to make amends by...what? BLOATING TO GARGANTUAN SIZE AND SQUASHING YOU LIKE THE INSIGNIFICANT BUG THAT YOU ARE!"''

* During the "[[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman Reign Of The Supermen]]" arc in the ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' comic titles of 1993, John Henry Irons (Steel) was attacked this way by a henchman of the White Rabbit who had the ability to expand his mass to great proportions.
