Deleted the following The Matrix Reloaded examples because they aren't valid examples of this trope, which requires falling from a height.

• Near the start of the freeway chase, one of the twins gets in front of the heroes' car, then phases out and in again - 'leaping' laterally between two cars.
• Shortly after that, an agent pulls up in a police car, jumps from that car onto another car (completely demolishing it), then jumps a second time onto the heroes' car, barely activating the suspension.
• Morpheus tries to stab the twin in the car, causing him to phase out onto the freeway. Seconds later, he phases into the car being driven by the other twin.
• When the motorcycle escape doesn't pan out, Trinity drives the Keymaker to a semi that Morpheus is on top of - Morpheus then uses a samurai sword as an impromptu platform, grabs the Keymaker, and flings him onto the semi's trailer - a rare case of someone leaping upward onto a car cushion.
• This trope is then somehow inverted when the semi Morpheus is on collides with another semi - Neo then saves him and the Keymaker by pulling them straight up off the exploding trucks.

• Which, when you think about it, makes the possibility of a sequel rather bleak. NOT SO! Crank 2 came out in 2009, and was even more silly.
• Supposedly, the director based it off an Internet viral video involving a skydiver walking away from a failed opening.

Pulled this from the Crank entry. I believe this would go on the Trivia tab of the work.
