Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:Last Crusade cool sidecar 755.jpg\|link=Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade\|frame\|Two [[Badass Bookworm]]s in [[Nice Hat]]s, on a [[Cool Bike]], with a '''Cool Sidecar'''. What more could you want?]] An option for the [[Cool Bike]], a '''Cool Sidecar''' adds another passenger or extra storage to the bike. Normally the rider on the sidecar could just fire on enemies with his or her own weapon while the driver drives, but there are instances where there are things like [[Cool Gun]]s mounted on them. {{examples}} Line 9: * ''[[The Big O]]'': Norman's bike's sidecar has a missile launcher. * ''[[Pokémon (anime)\|Pokémon]]'': Officer Jenny from Viridian City briefly uses a police motorcycle with one of these to get Pikachu to the Pokemon Center. * In all versions of ''[[Ah! My Goddess\|]]'', Keiichi Morisato's]] ~~Beemer,~~BMW motorcycle (the only luxury he owns,) has one. Curiously, it was [[Contrived Coincidence\|installed to the bike long before]] Belldandy, ~~it's~~its only seen passenger, came tointo his life. * Wil's bike in ''[[Allison & Lillia]]'' has a sidecar. (The vehicles in ''[[Allison & Lillia]]'' are cool by definition because the author chose to include only cool vehicles in that world.) It's even odds on whether Wil rides the bike and Allison is in the sidecar, or Allison [[Drives Like Crazy]] and Wil's in the sidecar. == [[Film]] == * ''[[Batman: The Movie\|Batman the Movie]]'' (1966): After the Penguin steals the Batmobile, Batman and Robin take the Bat-Cycle to Gotham Airport, with Robin riding in a sidecar. As they approach the Bat-Copter, the sidecar detaches a "Go Cart" carrying Robin, which proceeds on its own to the other side of the Bat-Copter. * [[Indiana Jones\|Henry Jones Sr. & Son]] do this in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade\|The Last Crusade]]'', as shown above. * The sidecar in the ''[[Wallace and Gromit]]'' short ''A Close Shave'' can also double as an airplane. It also comes with a retractable rapid-fire cannon that the heroes usually use to shoot soapy water up onto windows they're cleaning from ground level, but during the climax Gromit loads it with [[Edible Ammunition\|porridge]] to {{spoiler\|fight Preston}}. * In ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'', the bad guys chase [[James Bond]] with a sidecar that becomes a detachable missle steered by a joystick on the motorbike. Line 35 ⟶ 36: == [[Tabletop Games]] == * In ''[[Warhammer 40,000\|Warhammer 40K]]'', Space Marines can field assault bikes which have a sidecar with a mounted [[~~BFG~~Big Freaking Gun]]. == [[Toys]] == Line 45 ⟶ 46: == [[Video Games]] == * ''[[Advance Wars]]'': ''Days of Ruin'' has the Bike unit that has a sidecar with a [[More Dakka\|machinegun]] mounted on it. * ''[[X-COM]]: Apocalypse'' has [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20140327041519/http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Hoverbike_~~%28Apocalypse%29~~(Apocalypse) hoverbikes], with top engines slightly faster and more nimble than the VTOL fighter plane. Its sidecar provides one weapon mount good enough for most of fighters' weapons. As in, an autocannon or missile with miniature fusion warhead. * In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'', near the end you sit in a side car and gun down [[Mooks]] in a pretty epic chase scene. It also [[Hyperspace Arsenal\|contains]] [[Bottomless Magazines\|a lot of ammo]]. * [[Badass\|Wes]] from ''[[Pokémon Colosseum]]'' has this attached to his [[Cool Bike]]. His [[Yin-Yang Bomb\|Espeon and Umbreon]] sit there in the beginning, but are demoted to pokeball travel when Wes gets a [[Sidekick]]. * An odd example appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' when, [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene\|for some reason]], Sora and Riku get a space-motorcycle-thing to fight the final boss in one of his many forms. It's less of a sidecar and more of a platform that happens to be on the side of the vehicle, sacrificing basic safety measures for having enough room for Sora to smack things around with his keyblade. == [[Western Animation]] == Line 55 ⟶ 56: * ''[[Metalocalypse]]'' has the Murdercycle, with a total of 4 sidecars, 2 on each side, so the whole band can ride it. ** And it takes up three lanes of traffic - how cool is that? * ''[[The Aristocats\|]]'': "You may not believe this, but I think it's a one-wheeled haystack!"]] {{reflist}} Line 62 ⟶ 63: [[Category:Travel Cool]] [[Category:The Utterly and Completely Definitive Guide to Cool]] [[Category:~~{{PAGENAME}}~~Cool Sidecar]]
