WesternAnimation: One episode of ''CowAndChicken'' ends with The Red Guy chasing after a car and some bicyclists on foot. Inverted as well, as some cops are pursuing him in a car for exceeding the speed limit (somehow). All four parties are traveling at the exact same speed.

VideoGames: SonicTheHedgehog and his friends frequently have to chase vehicles down. Examples include a red car speeding down Metal City carrying treasure in ''SonicRiders'', the Egg Hammer Mark II in ''SonicAdvance 2'' (essentially a convertible with a giant hammer in the back), a train with a bomb strapped to it in ''SonicTheHedgehog2006'', the Frigate Orcan and the Skullian blimp in ''SonicColors'', and a modified race car out of curiosity in ''SonicX''. The most famous example is an inversion though: In ''SonicAdventure2'' (and ''SonicGenerations''), a paramilitary force sends a gigantic truck after Sonic, who then has to run for his life until the truck crashes into something and incapacitates itself.

Film: Woody attempts to chase after a train on foot at the beginning of ''ToyStory 3''. It works as well as one would expect a cowboy to. He's not truly able to catch up to the train until he gets access to Barbie's car.

RealLife: Le Parkour came about because some urban areas in France have such congested traffic problems that running, hopping, and bouncing across places would be faster than driving. Le Parkour experts have put this to a test by chasing or racing someone in an automobile. This happened in ''CasinoRoyale'' where a man on foot was able to keep up with James Bond in a car because Bond had to take longer paths on asphalt roads.
