** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny'': Indy and a somewhat reluctant Basil engage Colonel Weber on top of a train in the opening. This example is notable for the fact that a metal overhanging part of the tracks strikes the colonel ''in the head'' and yet [[spoiler: not only does he not die, ''he doesn't even have a scar'' when he resurfaces years later. Keep in mind, this was a speeding train and the velocity at which the metal object hits him in the head ''should have decapitated him'' and to make matters worse, it not only strikes him in the head at huge speeds, but it knocks him off the bridge and into the woods below. He ought to just apply to be Superman, because he is clearly 100% invincible.]]

** ''Shattered Soldier'' has a level that involves chasing a train down on motorcycles, attacking the weaponized caboose, and heading to the engine. At which point a mecha attacks the train, leaving the player to wonder why our OneHitPointWonder heroes had to bother.
** Before that was ''Contra: Hard Corps''. The boss was a HumongousMecha that pushes the train to a halt and climbs onto it, which was the inspiration for the boss in ''Shattered Soldier''
