History Main / ChainLinkFence

* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': In, "Unspoken," Det. Flack pursues a suspect fleeing a rally. The guy outruns him and ducks down an alley with a chain-link fence at the end, which he scales. He is eventually caught, partially due to his ball cap falling off in the process and him leaving behind some blood when he spears his hand on a rough piece at the top of the fence.

* ''{{Literature/Animorphs}}'': During their DynamicEntry in to Joe Bob Fenestre's mansion, Jake runs into several fences. Thing is, [[TheJuggernaut Jake is in rhinoceros morph...]]

Escapees may cut through the wire if they have tools. Some escapees may crash through the fence in a getaway vehicle.

It seems that in the majority of [[ChaseScene chase scenes]] on foot, our runners eventually head down a dead-end alley. There's usually a chain-link fence at the end. The chase almost always ends here, with the chasee either surrendering or confronting the pursuers. Other times, one or both parties will just climb over it, but since that is hard to do with that kind of fence, this is a good opportunity to end the sequence with the pursued trying to do so and the pursuer arriving to pull them down.

* ''Series/BetterCallSaul'': Jimmy finds a group of three youths who previously mugged him. He offers to cut them in on his burner phone business if they agree to not hassle him. Instead, the youths demand everything he has, with one of them pulling out a switchblade. Jimmy runs away, and the youths chase him into an alleyway with a chain link fence at the end. Just as the youths think they've got Jimmy dead to rights, Jimmy reveals that he was actually leading them into a trap, at which point Huell and Man Mountain come up on the thugs from behind, knock them out, and tie them up like pinatas.
