* What? No mention of Cloud? He does this a couple of times in Advent Children.

* ''TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': If you strike him with the Master Sword, Dark Link will use this to set up a counter attack.

* ''RuroniKenshin'' has the protagonist due this to Sanosuke Sagara while fighting him and his BFS, while lecturing him on how the sword he uses is so big and heavy that it can only be swung down or sideways, making it very easy to predict.

* In ''{{Sonic the Hedgehog 2}}'', Sonic has to jump on the arrows fired by Robotnik to defeat him.

* The third Aladdin movie had Aladdin falling down a cliff and using his dagger to slow down. The guy who threw him down then uses his special claws to slow his fall down so that the fight can continue. [[spoiler: Al wins by using his dagger, which is still in the cliff, as support while he kicks the other guy into the ocean ([[IGotBetter He gets better, though]])]].
* In ''MysteryMen'', Blue Raja can throw ''forks''... but not very well, until [[TookALevelInBadass special training by the Sphinx]] allows him to throw them effectively enough [[ChekhovsSkill for Mr. Furious to climb on them.]]

* [[BladeOnAStick Spears]] are used in ''LEGOIndianaJones'' as ladder rungs to reach higher and farther areas.

* DonaldDuck in ''Quackshot'' uses a plunger gun to scale walls quickly.
* The fight against Pete in ''Mickey Mania'' involves jumping on his thrown sword to reach a lever.
* Throwing spears in the video game ''PrehistorikMan''.

* in ''LaraCroftAndTheGuardianOfLight'' spears from your never-ending supply of throwing spears can be thrown at walls and jumped on to reach higher areas. You'll be doing this often.

* TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime: If you strike him with the Master Sword, Dark Link will use this to set up a counter attack.

* In ''{{Simpsons}} Bible Stories'', Bart (as David) uses a pair of daggers to climb up the side of a castle, by stabbing them into the wall and pulling himself up.

* In the title sequence for [[HannaBarbera Hanna-Barbera's]] ''Lippy the [[KingOfBeasts Lion]] and Hardy Har Har,'' Lippy, holding Hardy by the [[RingAroundTheCollar collar]], scales a tree up a ladder of spears that have been thrown at the pair by angry natives. Unfortunately, the last of them is being held by a giant gorilla.

* Asuka does this in her {{Evangelion}}, using her Progressive Knife and axe to climb to the top of the building that's sinking into the ground (which is actually an angel).
* One episode of {{Digimon Tamers}} had Vajramon (a bull centaur digimon and one of the 12 zodiac animal Deva warriors) tries to battle Renamon with his twin {{BFS}}. Due to her swiftness, lithe body, and small size she is able to land right on the flat side of his sword after taking a swing at her.

** As does Lemmings 2 - and of course, it's almost always necessary to beat the level.

* In ''MysteryMen'', Blue Raja can throw ''forks''. Later, Mr. Furious climbs on them.

* Guts climbs a tower apparently made of human heads with his knife in ''{{Berserk}}''.

* Inverted on (I think) one of the ''{{CSI}}'' programs, in which the victim turned out to have been kicked to death by someone who'd been wearing tree-climbing spurs strapped to both ankles.

** The best example being during Cloud's fight with Sephiroth. After being thrown off a bulding, Cloud uses his First Tsurugi as a BladeBrake, before standing on it, [[BifurcatedWeapon splitting it in two]], then doing a back flip while retrieving both swords in order to [[AbsurdlySharpBlade cut apart the huge chunks of concrete]] raining down on him from above.

* Donald Duck in ''Quackshot'' uses a plunger gun to scale walls quickly.
