History Main / TeamPowerWalk

* Many [=OPs=] of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' show many of the cast doing this.

* The start of the opening of ''Anime/DigimonUniverseApplimonsters'' has Haru, Eri, Astra, and Rei doing this.

* Happened often on ''Series/TheATeam'', usually with a slight edge of parody because of [[CrazyAwesome Murdock]]. For example, when he was being the Range Rider and wearing a ridiculous paper mask and six-shooters. While doing the power walk.

-->'''Isabella''': "Why are you walking so slowly?"
-->'''Phineas''': "Dramatic effect."

* In ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'', Washimi and Gori walk through work in a strut that Gori describes as the "baddest-bitch-in-the-room walk". Both Washimi and Gori also readily admits in private that it actually is murder on your back to walk like that, but they both have a public imagine to maintain.

* Parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' episode "Stratosphere" as the group power-walk on their way to their seats for the launch of their airship-turned-rocket-ship to reach the enemy base in the stratosphere. It starts out all serious, but then Stork walks into a pole and falls to the ground with a yell, all still in slow-motion.
* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'': In episode 7, this is done by KVN, Gary, Little Cato and Mooncake, all armed to the teeth, as they set out to kill the Lord Commander.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' episode "Mindy's Meteorite Stand", the kids do this type of walk on the way to Jet's garage. Even the music that plays during that scene is awesome.

* Reeve Aleutian Airways Flight 8 lost a propeller, which left behind a massive gash in the fuselage as it flew away into the ocean and made a total mess of their flight controls. Still, Captain James Gibson and his crew successfully landed the wrecked aircraft without so much as anyone getting ''injured''. According to Captain Gibson, he ordered his flight crew to put on their coats and hats before leaving the cockpit so they could perform this as they left the plane.

* In ''Anime/AggressiveRetsuko'', Washimi and Gori walk through work in a strut that Gori describes as the "baddest-bitch-in-the-room walk". Both Washimi and Gori also readily admits in private that it actually is murder on your back to walk like that, but they both have a public imagine to maintain.

* This visual idiom is also put to repeated use on Creator/JossWhedon's [=MutantEnemy=] shows, including parodies:
** In one episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}'', "Smile Time", the doors to Angel's office open and Wesley, Gunn, and Fred walk out in slow-mo... and then the camera pans downward, revealing Angel as a puppet walking in front of them.
** In another, "Dad", the cast power walk out of a hospital with a [[http://www.buffyworld.com/angel/season3/vidcaps/dad/s3e10tagu.shtml baby carriage]].
** In yet another, "Disharmony", Angel, Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn power walk with deadly seriousness on their way to confront a vampire cult leader. The camera starts with a group shot, then focuses on each of their intense expressions in turn, suddenly revealing Cordelia's ditzy friend-cum-vampire Harmony skipping along beside them.
** Done straight in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Fool for Love." After Spike kills the Chinese slayer, we get several shots of him, Angel, Drusilla and Darla walking, tall and hard, with lots of fire in the background (presumably caused not by them but by the Boxer Rebellion). Spike even skips over a random piece of debris, adding a sadistic child-like glee to his triumph.
** Lampshaded with a song (Walk Through the Fire) in "Once More, With Feeling".
** Buffy, Angel, and Xander do a power walk to the school in the season one finale, "Prophecy Girl". Unusual in that the accompanying music is fast-paced, and that Buffy is wearing a beautiful evening gown.

** Played straight by the Hyena gang in "The Pack".

* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6007860/1 This]] ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona fanfic is 100% comprised of this trope.

*** One online video made by a group of US Air Force [[EnsignNewbie Second Lieutenants]] mixes parody with SelfDeprecation when a Butter Bar powerwalk is interrupted by one of them stumbling, [[DisasterDominoes causing a chain reaction as the others all trip over each other in turn.]] In slomo, naturally.

* The TitleSequence of ''The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo'' has TheSheriff doing a one-man PowerWalk between his deputies who are lined up on either side with their squad cars. Unfortunately it becomes a FailedAttemptAtDrama when the deputies [[HollywoodPoliceDrivingAcademy crash into each other after Lobo orders them to drive off]].

* In ''Series/TrueBlood'' season four episode "Burning Down the House" the episode ends with a four-vampire powerwalk in '80s clothes. With a rocket launcher.

** Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's powerwalk is his trademark.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'''s Mann Vs Machine Trailer has Red's Heavy, Scout and Engineer and Blu's Demoman, Soldier and Medic doing a heroic powerwalk when they are about to fight Grey Mann's army of robot Mercenaries.

* In ''Toys/TheGrosseryGang'' webseries, during "The Grossery Gang Movie", it us used by the powered up Grosseries and lampshaded, calling it "the heroic slo-mo walk".

* ''Film/TheRightStuff''. This is probably the single most-parodied (or ripped off) power walk ever.
** A "Right Stuff Walk" is almost obligatory in anything involving astronauts or space flight:
*** ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'' (1998). Slightly subverted as someone in the background complains, "Talk about the 'wrong' stuff", during the thuggish heroes' power walk. Also, at the end of the mission, it's contrasted by the heroic lineup being about 60% thinner than at the beginning.
*** As the crew of ''Film/{{Apollo13}}'' are walking down the gangway into the spacecraft, the music swells and the film speed slows.
*** ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' did a parody of this in one of the episodes where the duo went to space.
*** Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Deep Space Homer". When Homer gets close up during his power walk and sees the shuttle, he gets cold feet and runs all the way back down the hall (...out of the building, and across the street) to call his wife.
*** Also parodied in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', wherein, during their Power Walk, Fry and Leela hold their space helmets while Bender holds his own head.
*** ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', as the monsters enter the power company, and then again in its blooper reel as the monsters stumble and bowl each other over in slow motion.
*** ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'', does a CallBack to its chronological successor's power walk, this time, appropriately, in the eyes of a child monster.
*** Creator/TerryPratchett might have had this trope in mind when he says that Twoflower and Rincewind (disguised as astronauts in ''The Colour of Magic'') weren't "walking like heroes" as they make their way through cheering crowds to the Discworld's first spacecraft, the ''Potent Voyager''. They're just kind of...waddling.
*** One online video made by a group of US Air Force [[EnsignNewbie Second Lieutenants]] mixes parody with SelfDeprecation when a Butter Bar powerwalk is interrupted by one of them stumbling, [[DisasterDominoes causing a chain reaction as the others all trip over each other in turn.]] In slomo, naturally.
*** In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode ''[[Recap/CommunityS2E04BasicRocketScience Basic Rocket Science]]'', Abed has the entire group do one in slow motion walking towards a space simulator. (Except for Pierce, who doesn't realise that the others are walking in slomo.) They end up being very late because Abed keeps making them redo it until it's sufficiently dramatic.

* Mad Madam Mim and Merlin Power Walk out to a sinister-looking heath for their "wizard's duel" in Disney's ''Disney/TheSwordInTheStone'', complete with a snare drum inexplicably playing in the background. It's diminished somewhat by Wart and Archimedes talking over them.

* As of Season 2, the intro for ''Frankie Drake Mysteries'' replaces the title character posing on her motorcycle with the main cast doing one of these.

It's typically shot from a [[HitlerCam slightly lower]] than normal angle to add stature to the characters in the shot. SloMo is often used to give the images additional weight. Extra power can be gained from a dramatic backdrop, especially flames or explosions. The walk often continues until the characters are out of frame, and is often followed by an ActBreak. Alternatively, it can be preceded by a slow build-up of the group, with just the lead walking at first, then [[AvengersAssemble others noticing and hurrying to his/her side one by one]].

* Done at the end of the LockAndLoadMontage of the first Manga/YuYuHakusho [[TheMovie Movie]]

* Happens before almost every match in ''Manga/SlamDunk''

* ''Film/ThreeHundred'' (2007). As with everything else in ''300'', beaten into the ground and kicked a few times for good measure.
* Averted (at least in part) in the film ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension''. The end credits roll features Team Banzai gathering together ([[spoiler:even the member who died during the film]]) and marching in unison to the peppy "Team Banzai March".[[note]]That's what ''you'' hear. The ''cast'' were hearing Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl".[[/note]] Not a true power walk in that the team walks across the screen from right to left, there is not a dramatic shot of the team walking towards the camera, much of the sequence focuses in on individual members of Team Banzai, and the tempo of the entire sequence is a bit too peppy to be as dramatic as a power walk should be. Hell, several members of Team Banzai start spontaneously ''dancing,'' including Buckaroo himself.

* ''Film/BubbaHoTep'' (2002). Once Elvis and Jack (as in JFK) decide to challenge the titular soul-sucking monster, they do a power walk of sorts through the corridor of their rest home. Kinda. Elvis needs a walker, and Jack rides a powered wheelchair. But it's still badass.

* The shots of Fender and his pirates in the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie ''Film/{{Cyborg 1989}}'' as most viewers will agree that the big bad Fender actually stole the show.

* ''Film/DeliverUsFromEva'' when Ray and the Dandridge sisters do the chick flick version of the power walk with their very angry boyfriends trailing behind.

* ''Film/TheHouseBunny'' after the girls get their makeovers.

* ''Film/KillBill, Vol 1'' (2003). O-Ren Ishii and members of the Crazy 88 Power Walk in the House of Blue Leaves to the song ''Battle Without Honor or Humanity''.

*** One online video made by a group of US Air Force [[EnsignNewbie Second Lieutenants]] mixes parody with SelfDeprecation when a Butter Bar powerwalk is interrupted by one of them stumbling, [[DisasterDominoes causing a chain reaction as the others all trip over each other in turn.]] In SlowMo, naturally.
*** In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode ''[[Recap/CommunityS2E04BasicRocketScience Basic Rocket Science]]'', Abed has the entire group do one in slow motion walking towards a space simulator. (Except for Pierce, who doesn't realise that the others are walking in SloMo.) They end up being very late because Abed keeps making them redo it until it's sufficiently dramatic.

* ''Film/{{Tombstone}}'' (1993). The Earps with Doc Holliday walking towards the O.K. Corral to confront the cowboys. The image of Creator/ValKilmer, Creator/SamElliott, Creator/KurtRussell, and Creator/BillPaxton in [[BadassLongcoat Badass Longcoats]] has been used in posters and video covers for the film. It even replays a more badass version of the walk during the end credits. Since the Earp crew [[TruthInTelevision really did walk halfway across town]] to confront the Clanton crew, ''every'' movie featuring the O.K. Corral includes such a scene.

** [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion "The Christmas Invasion"]]: After defeating his first alien adversary, the Tenth Doctor's Power Walk is coupled with the dialogue -- in classic Western-showdown form -- "No second chances. I'm that sort of a man."

** [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "The Day of the Doctor"]]: The War, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors do this during their big dramatic exit from the 3D painting ''Gallifrey Falls No More''.

* ''Series/{{House}}'' and his team in the opening credits.
** Worth mentioning that House does a power walk [[HandicappedBadass ''with a cane'']].

* In the ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' episode ''The Magnificent Eight'' the team arrives in the old West, and does an epic SlowMotion walk into the town.

* ''Series/PersonOfInterest''. In "Pretenders", HeroicWannabe Walter Dang enthuses that [[WeHelpTheHelpless John Reese and his friends]] are like superheroes. Reese denies this with some irritation, whereupon Shaw and Fusco pull up in {{Cool Car}}s and do a SlowMotion power walk.

* ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive's'' Anniversary team up ''Once a Ranger'' does this with the anniversary cast immediately prior to the morph sequence, as well as [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Wild Force's]] ''Forever Red'' before they enter their spaceship.

* In ''{{Series/Pretty Little Liars}}'' the four main characters commonly walk in a row sometimes known as a "Liar Wall". Most notably when arriving at Wilden's funeral. If one girl is not in line with the others it pertains to the plot as to why.

* The guys get one in Season 6 of ''Series/That70sShow'', as they walk into their former high school with AC/DC's "TNT" playing.

* Mac and his team do this in the ''Series/MacGyver2016'' episode “Bravo Lead + Loyalty + Friendship”.

* Lance has a pretty badass one in ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'' when entering Dr. Neurosis's quarters.

* Done epically in ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' when almost the whole gang walks side-by-side towards [[spoiler:Braithwaite Manor to get Jack back.]]

* They parodied this in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'': "They're slow, but they look good!"

* Done epically in ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' when the gang walks up side-by-side towards [[spoiler:Braithwaite Manor to get Jack back.]]
