10 Moments That Literally Stopped Action Movies

Another big ol' rock who brought their action-stuffed adventure to a sudden halt, Dwayne Johnson's The Other Guys appearance, alongside Samuel L. Jackson, helped produce one of the greatest comedy twists ever to splatter on a pavement.

Throughout the opening stretch of the buddy cop action flick, Detectives P.K. Highsmith and Christopher Danson go about coolly taking down bad guys and causing a ton of destruction along the way.

But who cares when you look that damn good doing it, right?

And as the effortlessly badass partners pursue another bunch of criminals on the streets of New York City, it initially seems as though yet another successful yet explosive day at the office was on the cards. But then, as the bad guys zip-line away from capture, the Rock & Sam Connection opt to hurl themselves at the bushes below to maintain their gripping action-heavy chase.

An utterly unexpected prolonged tumble ultimately sees both men miss said greenery to the sound of There Goes My Hero, with this entirely shocking collision slamming down the brakes on both the cops' lives and the comedy flick itself.

The audience is then left to erupt into baffled laughter as the screen cuts to black for a moment, with a funeral then playing out before their stunned eyes.

Foolish Dwayne, didn't he know that pavement beats rock every time... or something.
