10 Awesome Jump Scenes in Movies
In slang terms a “jump scene” is actually referred to as a scene that makes you “jump” out of your seat. You know the kinds of scenes that scare you. For example a loud phone ring that you didn’t expect in a horror movie.
Well that’s not the kind of jump scene I’m referring to here. I’m referring to actual jumping scenes where the characters are making pretty big and risky leaps off of cliffs, planes, you name it. It’s such a defining moment for a character when they are faced with that brutal decision of potential death by jump or potential death by an enemy.
Then again, there are just some pretty badass jumpers who don’t care about anything.
Here are 10 awesome jump scenes in movies.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
It’s at minute 2:55
The Fugitive
It’s at minute 9
The Frisco Kid
I couldn’t find any scenes on Youtube but it’s the one where Harrison Ford and Wilder are fleeing from a posse and they jump similarly to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Wilder yells “sheeeeeeiit!” like his Southern Counterpart and Ford yells “Oy Guvalt!” like his Jewish Counterpart.
No Escape
is at Minute 1:19
Apocolypto
Jump is at the 7th minute
First Blood
at minute 6
Point Break
Reeves is pretty ballsy. He dives without a shoot. You can view it here. It’s at minute 7:15.
The Game
This is just a great scene.
The Lost Boys
Napoleon Dynamite
Come on, I had to throw a funny one in there!

Napoleon Dynamite is not the hottest but the funniest. I think everyone in the theater cringed.
Strictly for having Keanu go “Woah”, I would’ve added the Jump program in Matrix.
Where’s Leelo’s freedom jump from ‘The Fifth Element’?
It took you a long time to come up with these and you still forgot the jump program from “The Matrix?” Are you kidding me? With the exception of the fugitive, its more important and memorable than any of these.
What about Hudsucker Proxy ? Cool jump, eh?
