How can we forget about Wile E. Coyote from Looney Tunes Space Race for the Dream cast. I mean sure it is technically a rocket but still not much of a difference cause in the cartoons the thing explodes!
Sample video

Note this is not my video but it shows Wile E. doing his thing on a "Rocket" aka missile.

Is it just me or does that "plane" in Contra: Shattered Soldier look an aweful lot like Lonestar's flying space Winnebago from Spaceballs?

Hey, what about the rocket horses from Rayman 2??? Capcom is obviously trying to trademark the advent of missile rides! (see: Contra)
