History Main / ChaseFight

* In ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} Dream's]]'' Minecraft Manhunts, this is what usually happens when the hunters are chasing Dream.

** ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'': Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul.
** ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' Obi-Wan vs. Anakin, and also Obi-Wan vs. Grievous.
** In ''Film/{{Solo}}'', when several TIE Fighters chase the ''Millennium Falcon'' through the Akkadese Maelstrom.
** The beginning of ''Film/ANewHope''. Princess Leia's starship is fighting with Darth Vader's Star Destroyer as she tries to escape so she can give technical data on the Death Star to the Rebel Alliance.

* This tends to be a recurring element in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games:

* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'', of course, being ''Horatio Hornblower [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE]]'', features more than a few of these. The first book has a lone undergunned light cruiser doggedly chasing down a much more powerful merchant cruiser, later books have entire fleets engaging in chases when one fleet or the other is forced to disengage and retreat, with their enemies not wanting them to escape with their forces intact. One book has an outmatched force [[DelayingAction trick a much larger force into chasing them deeper into the system]] so that [[TheCavalry their reinforcements]] can trap the attacking fleet inside [[NoWarpingZone the system hyperlimit]].

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' shows [[TheBigGuy Maine]], [[TheAce Carolina]], and [[TheLancer York]] trying to get a briefcase from [[LaResistance Insurrectionist soldiers]], while racing down a highway.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. During an EscortMission of a coach from Kakariko Village to Hyrule Castle Town, Link has to fight off several Bokoblins. It's notably one of the most reviled moments in a ''Zelda'' game for, well, [[NintendoHard a]] [[ScrappyMechanic few]] [[ThatOneLevel reasons]].
* ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge''. AND HOW! Then again, the REAL chase fight scene is with [[spoiler:Celeste]] and the two of you end up fighting on top of a ship crate with LeParkour action.

* You'll probably have these in the ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' series.
* In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning]]'', both fights against Cynder.

* Morpheus and Trinity's highway battle against The Twins in ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'' while trying to reach an exit so they can escape the Matrix.

** ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' does this for most of the bosses. Sonic Vs Infinite on a snake, Sonic and The Avatar Vs Infinite 3 near Imperial Tower, and Sonic, Classic Sonic, and The Avatar vs [[spoiler:Egg Robo in what appears to be cyberspace likely created by the Prometheus Ruby]]

* In ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'', [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] vs. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]] (2021) starts as one of these, with Cloud on the Fenrir and Link on the Master Cycle Zero. Eventually, though, both bikes are removed from the fight: The Master Cycle Zero is blown to smithereens by Cloud's Thunder, and the Fenrir gets removed from the fight by an Ancient Arrow.

* In ''Manga/SoulEater'' this is how the fight between [[TheUndead Sid]] and [[{{Samurai}} Mifune]] goes (while essentially snowboarding without the boards no less).

* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Pain and the Kyuubi engage in this. Both are near-godlike beings, and the anime uses deliberate OffModel animation to emphasise the speed and power of the chase.

* ''Anime/LupinIIIEpisode0FirstContact'': The duel between Lupin and Goemon. Lupin runs away as an increasingly frustrated Goemon tries to fight him. It begins with Goemon on foot, chasing Lupin in a car, then they're running on top of cars, as well as around Central Park. Lupin mostly just wants to escape.

* The cutscene after final fight between Travis and Henry in ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' features this, as a visual metaphor for them trying to [[CallBack "find that exit they call paradise"]]
* In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning]]'', both fights against Cynder.
* You'll probably have these in the ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' series.
* ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge''. AND HOW! Then again, the REAL chase fight scene is with [[spoiler:Celeste]] and the two of you end up fighting on top of a ship crate with LeParkour action.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. During an EscortMission of a coach from Kakariko Village to Hyrule Castle Town, Link has to fight off several Bokoblins. It's notably one of the most reviled moments in a ''Zelda'' game for, well, [[NintendoHard a]] [[ScrappyMechanic few]] [[ThatOneLevel reasons]].

* In ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'', [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] vs. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]] (2021) starts as one of these, with Cloud on the Fenrir and Link on the Master Cycle Zero. Eventually, though, both bikes are removed from the fight: The Master Cycle Zero is blown to smithereens by Cloud's Thunder, and the Fenrir gets removed from the fight by an Ancient Arrow.

* In the SequelSeries, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Tenzin fights [[ArcVillain Zaheer]] in the episode "The Ultimatum". The first part of the fight is a chase, with Zaheer trying to escape from Tenzin so they can fight on higher grounds.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. In "His Silicon Soul," the android Batman chases the real Batman around the Bat Cave as they fight.
* In a {{homage}} to ''Revenges of the Sith'', one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had Bart and Principal Skinner in one involving each others food allergies (peanuts for Skinner, shrimp for Bart).
* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': Most of Jack's fights are pretty short, brutal and in his favour. However when he fights the formidable Minions of Set he is utterly on the back foot, and has to flee in between short desperate fights in order to survive. Add to this there is only ''one'' way to destroy the Minions and that is through summoning a god with a scarab split into three pieces, and our hero has to find the scarab first. Good luck with that, Jack.

* In ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'', Link vs. Cloud (2021) starts as one of these, with Cloud on the Fenrir and Link on the Master Cycle Zero. Eventually, though, both bikes are removed from the fight: The Master Cycle Zero is blown to smithereens by Cloud's Thunder, and the Fenrir gets removed from the fight by an Ancient Arrow.

* ''Film/TotalRecall1990'' (1990). Benny drives Quaid and Melina to the Last Resort as Richter and his partner follow in their car, with both parties shooting at each other.

In ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} Dream's]]'' Minecraft Manhunts, this is what usually happens when the hunters are chasing Dream.
