The inversion-- "you can hide, but you can't run!"-- shows up so frequently that it's almost a separate phrase in itself. This most often appears in super-power examples, where the quarry is far outclassed in a straight fight and literally could not run away fast enough if he were to be spotted.
Add points if it has Nowhere To Run as the sound track for the upcoming chase.
See also YouWillNotEvadeMe, where you might as well not even ''bother'' trying to run, let alone hide.

* The FlavorText for the Boots of Speed in BaldursGate uses the inversion: apparently the boots were originally owned by an assassin, who was rather fond of spouting the line as he ran down his quarry before they could actually get to the hiding part.
* A heroic example can occur in the Super Nintendo version of ''VideoGame/{{Star Fox}}'' when Falco shoots down an enemy fighter, taunting the Venom forces with this line.

* Ur-Example: This phrase is said to have been originally coined by the boxer Joe Louis, who stated, "He can run, but he can't hide," in response to hearing that an opponent would attempt to use hit-and-run tactics against him. The opponent was light-heavyweight champion Billy Conn. Louis was right: Conn used his quickness to outpoint Louis for 12 rounds, only to get knocked out in the 13th.
* A variation frequently attributed to [[ColdSniper snipers]] is "You can run, but you'll just die tired."
