Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson can do many things. He’s been known to crush a grueling workout regimen, collaborate with Under Armour on a line of workout gear, is one of the few to host Saturday Night Live five times, and he’s one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. One thing The Rock cannot do, however, is fly. Although the newest promotional poster for his upcoming film, Skyscraper, might lead you to believe otherwise. In a poster for the movie, which is about a former FBI agent that must save his family from a burning (you guessed it) skyscraper, Johnson can be seen dramatically leaping from a crane into a building’s shattered window. And while the suspension of disbelief (especially during stunt sequences) is essential to enjoying action flicks, the Internet was not about to let Johnson get away with pretending that this feat is actually feasible. More than a few Twitter users mocked up their own parabolas of the actual trajectory of the jump, while others hilariously photoshopped The Rock into other scenarios, using the hashtag #DwayneJumpsStuff. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions:
I’ve mocked up some parabolas for The Rock’s SKYSCRAPER jump. Red is assuming he jumped up a bit first; green assuming he ran forward and somehow didn’t lose momentum; yellow for a sort of squat-thrust thing. Whichever you choose, rest in peace The Rock, as you are dead now. pic.twitter.com/cAytzrWMRW — James Smythe (@jpsmythe) February 2, 2018

Non-engineers tend to neglect wind effects, I put a blue line that clearly shows the updraft from the fire below which carries the Rock to safety. pic.twitter.com/3hiemMqDRq — Galen Kehler (@GalenKehler) February 3, 2018
