Great Foot Chase Scenes?

[Pielorinho]

Heat - The heist goes bad.

North by Northwest - Cary Grant & the cropduster.

Heh--I was going to name both these movies, but I was thinking about different scenes in each.

In Heat:

Spoiler

The final chase scene, through the field that looks like a chessboard. Beautiful, symbolic, and tense, with the perfect ending

And in North by Northwest:

Spoiler

Across the faces of presidents

Both movies are chock full of fantastic scenes!

Princess Bride

The Two Towers

I liked the opening scene to "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". While not incredibly long, it was nicely done.

Some that spring to mind:

The arrival in Turkey, from Spriggan...

The footchase in Bad Boys... "You ladies look great!"

 

[FCWesel]

What about Indy's chase through the streets of Cairo to save Marion from the Nazis?

It has only the MOST FAMOUS "sensically taking out the bad guy" scene EVER filmed.

Damn so many out there:

Heat - The Post-Heist

Raising Arizona - The robbery gone wrong (and funny)

Matrix - The agents chasing Neo through the streets

Seven - Chasing John Doe

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Indy chasing Marion through Cairo

More as I think of them...

Hey folks, sorry I've left this so long.

Lots of great ideas in here and I've some pretty fine evenings following up on your suggestions. Haven't watched Crimson Rivers II yet mainly because the first one was pretty awful, I thought. Big fan of both Reno and Cassel but that movie was just plain bad. Pretty, but bad. But I'll give II a look-see, maybe even tonight.

Hot Pursuit: On Foot is nearly complete, nearly ready for release, actually. Just awaiting a bit of editorial feedback and some images and we're good to go. I think folks are really going to like it -- foot chases are lot more free-form and kooky than vehicle chases, and these rules let your players get super-creative. Keep your eyes peeled!

Yikes! Sorry; I read a good 50-60% of it and forgot to come back and finish! Sorry, man -- I'll have something out to you tomorrow.

Yep forgot about that one. Nice call indeed.

...and he still managed to pick up the pampers.

God, that's one of the funniest chase scenes ever:

"I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash you got in the register."

"Hurry up, son; I'm in dutch with the wife."

Running through the houses and backyards . . . acquiring the dogs as he goes.

"Halt! Re-VEAL yourself to officer Hank Figgus of the police department!"

"Son, you've got a panty on your head."
"Just drive real fast, old timer."

The yodeling music in the background. That entire movie is comedy genius.

Other good chases:
Midnight Run at various points in the film (it's essentially one long chase movie, and also very funny). "You guys are the dumbest bounty hunters I've ever seen!"

The Empire Strikes Back Chasing after Solo's frozen body; Luke pursuing (and being pursued by) his father (more cat-and-mouse, really).

Big Trouble in Little China Jack and Wang being chased by the Wing Kong in the early part of the film. Also very funny. "Any of 'em sabe English?" "Hey, man!"

Aliens Queen chasing Ripley after the rescue of Newt. Awesome. In the elevator, seeing the Queen coming down the hall. The queen contemplating the other elevator as its doors open.
