Title: I know I've seen this move before

Anyone seen the commercials for "Underworld" where the lady shoots out the floor underneath her and falls several stories?

Anyone besides me reminded of Oliver Grunner doing the exact same trick in "Nemesis"?

Emilio Estevez also did it with six-guns in the TV movie western "Dollar For The Dead".

My favorite variation is harpo and Chico Marx sawing through the floor to escape from their confinement in "Horse Feathers".

Maybe "Underworld"'s producers feel OK lifting the idea from "Nemesis" since about the only people who remember film hated it like Nathan.

Although I think I'm the only person who actually liked most of the first "Nemesis" film.

I think a number of Warner Brothers cartoon characters have used the same escape option.

I think the first "Nemesis" was not too bad, far better than it's sequals.  Nice to see B-regulars Tim Thomerson and Brion James

Ah! At last I meet other people who like "Nemesis"!  

Classifiable as a guilty pleasure, perhaps.  I like it, and I don't like the trailers for "Underworld".

Kurt Russell escapes through a wall this way in Escape From New York.  Ditto for JC VanDamme in Universal Soldier.
