Chases:
- Killer walks, victim runs, killer still catches them.
- Woman falls to the ground whilst being chased by a bad guy, even when running over level, unobstructed terrain. Note that when a man and woman are being chased, usually the woman falls, then the man pauses and helps her up.
- Corollaries to the above:
- Man will then continue to run with woman, holding her by the hand or preferably upper arm, even though this takes them both below the speed either one could make on their own.
- All movie women must be pulled along by their hands, even if the male puller is short & fat and the woman is a track star.
- All movie women try to run in heels, never stopping to kick them off.
- Women not only have to be pulled along, they do not have enough sense to run and keep running unless a man touches her elbow, holds her hand or puts his arm around her shoulders.
- Chasees will always stop to throw obstacles (trash cans, lumber, chairs) in their pursuers’ way. No matter that they take three times as long to dump the obstacles as it takes the chasers to simply jump over them.
- Person being chased reaches car or home. Door is locked, retrieves keys and drops them.
- If cops are giving chase in their cop cars they will inevitably crash in a spectacular way that ends up with a few of them on top of the others.
- When ever a person is being chased on foot, regardless of the time of year or city, there will be some sort of parade to try and loose your pursuer in.
- Sooner or later, all movie chase sequences, on foot or in a car, will pass through a crowded market. Vegetables will suffer as a result.
- The police chasing the psychopathic, murderer and yelling for him to stop, as if someone like that would give up for any reason, let alone as a request.
