[Music]
it’s time to escape impending danger in
style welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 ziplining scenes in movies for
this list we’re taking a look at big
screen moments in which a character
rides a zipline or uses a creative
substitute for a zipline number 10
explosion escape rush hour 2
it was an accident
that’s okay what did you say you tried
to catch care when the main bad guy
plummets to his demise
it appears that lien Carter’s second
case is officially closed
the duo literally receives a bombshell
however when a henchwoman arrives with
an explosive surprise
what’s that a unit oh hell nah with
nowhere to go but out the window they
use their jackets to zipline down a
string of Chinese lanterns into oncoming
traffic
as usual Lee is quick on his feet while
Carter screams in his high-pitched voice
the scene offers everything one could
want from a rush hour film mixing action
comedy and one-liners number nine
Wiley’s waterpark accident grown-ups
Europe Hollywood hop up alright I don’t
know how you follow backwards as with
most of Adam Sandler’s comedies the
Steve Buscemi cameo is easily one of the
most entertaining parts and that’s also
the case with grownups go Daniel about
your feet show these idiots
I’m a feet yeah that’s safe
what do you care you’re an animal and a
pretty kick-ass looking water park the
guy start to have second thoughts about
the ziplining attraction but a couple of
kids and Sandler’s body double make it
look easy enough not to mention
incredibly fun determined to outdo his
rival Buscemi’s wiley decides to perform
a stunt that even the Jackass crew
wouldn’t attempt hanging upside down
while he gets caught and resigns to a
painful fate don’t try this at home kids
number eight Aladin empties his pockets
The Dictator
in this scene from the dictator
president Aladeen ziplines across
buildings to reclaim his former glory
things don’t play out like most action
blockbusters as Aladeen gets caught
about halfway through
[Music]
dangling over the streets of New York
the Prime Minister relieves himself of
all the coconut water why do you have
fight the Coco water because it does as
much potassium as three bananas bananas
who you kidding so then why did you
bring three bananas because I don’t
trust the advertising I’m not totally
suspicious and bricks in his pocket what
is that a brick what’s the balance out
the weight from the other one you have
two bricks yes throw them down
immediately even emptying his bowels
isn’t enough though when a goat choose
the end of the wire Aladin ascents
swinging into a window where his big
crumb treats a woman and that’s why they
call him a dictator I’m sorry
[Music]
number seven cable car chase Moonraker
hang on James the thought had occurred
to me the James Bond movies have had a
few ziplining scenes over the years but
Moonraker definitely had the most
memorable one
when jaws uses his jaws to stop
double-oh-seven SCAD away cable car
the master spy and astronaut Holly
Goodhead need to get inventive they
slide down the cable using a chain but
that doesn’t stop jaws from pursuing
them further just when it looks like
bond and Holly will be trampled midair
they let go and fall to safety jaws is
landing isn’t quite as soft
[Music]
number six hey guys check this out
home alone hey guys check this out set
to John Williams majestic musical score
this scenes he’s Kevin use a sawed-off
bicycle handlebar to glide from his home
to his tree house
[Music]
Berglas Harry and Marv who never really
seemed to learn their lesson in these
home alone movies continue to chase the
troublemaking boy out the window yeah
come out the window why are you scared
mom are you afraid
come on get out Kevin always comes
prepared however and sends the filthy
animals flying back into a brick wall
how Harry and Marv aren’t dead by this
point remains a mystery but their antics
do make for great slapstick and uh Namur
ttle zip lining sequence number five
prison escape tango & cash action stars
like sylvester stallone and ker russell
are pretty much contractually obligated
to perform at least one zip lining
stunts throughout their careers in this
electrifying prison escape from tango
and cash the two wrongfully accused cops
must trust in Cash’s knowledge of
electricity we’re gonna fry you don’t
know anything about electricity do you
know as long as you’re only touching one
wire and you’re not touching the ground
you don’t get electrocuted utilizing
their dependable belts they both managed
to zipline down the prison’s electric
lines and over the wall
[Music]
it would appear that you really don’t
get electrocuted as long as you’re only
touching one wire and not the ground so
good to know Christ what you do stop a
coffee and update it hey Davis come on
we gotta get out of here number four
race to the future
back to the future what makes the climax
of back to the future especially
enthralling is how the suspense and
action just keep building every time it
looks like Marty and the doc can’t
possibly run into any more trouble
something else goes horribly horribly
wrong
[Music]
with the clock ticking ever closer to
1004 p.m. and the DeLorean racing down
the street the doc needs to reconnect a
vital wire in a jiffy just when all hope
seems to be lost doc zip lines from the
top of the clock tower and saves the day
in the nick of time
[Music]
number three jack escapes Pirates of the
Caribbean the curse of the Black Pearl
shook him Father do you really intend to
kill my rescuer Jack Sparrow might not
look like the most competent pirate at
first glance you are without doubt the
worst pirate I’ve ever heard of but you
have heard of me after watching him in
action though you’ll be convinced that
he’s the greatest pirate you’ve ever
seen you will always remember this as
the day that you almost caught Captain
Jack
when caught by the Royal Marines Captain
Jack takes full advantage of his
surroundings to devise a swift escape
creating a noose with his handcuffs jack
is able to zipline down some rope to the
end of a bridge whether he planned this
all out or just made it up as he went
along
nobody executes excessive stunts better
than Jack it’s got to be the best part
I’ve ever seen
so it would seem number two Tris supply
pnes through Chicago divergent
divergent might not be the greatest
young-adult adaptation of all time but
it does include one of the most exciting
and Atmospheric ziplining sequences of
all time thereof as part of her
initiation into the dauntless faction
Tris must prove her bravery by ziplining
from the top of the Hancock building
through a post-apocalyptic Chicago
[Music]
beautifully shot and set to uplifting
music this inspiring scene truly
captures the wonder of an epic thrill
ride we’d all gladly choose dauntless
just to ride this bad boy only once
before we zip down to our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions

number one motorbike chase the
adventures of tintin in The Adventures
of Tintin director Steven Spielberg
delivered some of his biggest and most
improbable action set-pieces since
Indiana Jones
motion-capture technology allowed
spielberg to go as over-the-top as ever
most notably in this exquisitely
choreographed chase pursuing a bird with
a scroll
Tintin rides his motorcycle through
Moroccan dwellings up a ramp and as a
grand finale uses his deteriorating bike
to zipline over the village
[Music]
done in a single take not that that’s
noteworthy cuz its CGI this sequence
never stops to catch its breath and
simultaneously takes the audience’s
breath away
