->''Man is only separated from heaven by that which he will not ramp.''

* In ''Film/TheLorax'', Ted attempts to jump a gorge by making a ramp from a rock and an abandoned board, but the board fails to hold his scooter's weight, sending him hurtling down in to gorge instead.

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' has [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p37 these]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p33 two]] examples and gives us the page quote.

* ''{{Cars}}'': Lightning [=McQueen=] uses a wrecked competitor during a race.

* In ''Midtown Madness 2'', you can jump from one embankment of the Thames to the other by use of strategically placed ramps in the Tower of London, and a (convenient) boat in the middle of the river.

* Appears frequently in ''TotalOverdose''. Ram's first mission doesn't exactly require one, but strongly encourages it to flee the top of a parking garage.

* In the HeyArnold TheMovie, while driving a bus down a broken bridge, Arnold tells Gerald to use a crashed semi-truck as a ramp.

* ''BlackLagoon'': Rock uses a derelict ship to ramp the titular boat, then [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome fire a torpedo directly into an attack helicopter]].

* Used for many Insane Stunt bonuses in ''GrandTheftAuto'', as far back as ''GTA 2''.

* ''DiamondsAreForever'': while in a chase with police cars in a parking lot, JamesBond uses an overturned car as an Improvised Ramp to jump his car to safety. Watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLj_1Lxs1yE here, 0:10-0:15]].
* ''TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' has a cool broken-bridge improvised ramp that leads to the car making a 360 degree jump.

* ''Live Free or DieHard'' (aka ''DieHard 4.0'') has a Ramprovisation so unusual that [[{{Lampshading}} the hacker lead notes how improbable it is.]]

* ''HighSchoolOfTheDead''

* ''{{Speed}}'': a BrokenBridge is used as an improvised ramp (I believe the ''MythBusters'' tried it ... turns out the filmmakers cheated and used CGI).

* Chapter one of [[{{Newsflesh}} Feed]] ends this way. George uses a hill as an improvised ramp.

* ''JustCause 2'': There are absolutely ''dozens'' of conveniently placed piles of building materials, collapsed road signs and so on spread around for ramping.

* Used for many Insane Stunt bonuses in GrandTheftAuto, as far back as ''GTA 2''.
