* The Creator/JohnCleese movie ''Film/{{Clockwise}}'' has Cleese's character going to a conference where he's to give a speech. Through the usual assortment of misadventures that happen in these kinds of movies, he ends up with quite a number of people chasing him. Being a comedy, they all manage to arrive at his destination before he does.
* Dates back at least as far as 1909 and ''Film/TheCurtainPole'', in which Monsieur Dupont attempts to bring back a curtain pole that is at least fifteen feet long -- too long to fit inside a moving cab, in other words. He winds up clubbing or antagonizing virtually everyone he passes, starting with the patrons of a bar, whom he whacks on the head as he enters looking for a ride. Then there's the owners of the cab that he steals, the parents of the baby carriage he knocks over, the farmer whose FruitCart he knocks over, the vendors at the open-air market he destroys, and more.

* Creator/ChuckJones' 1946 cartoon "Fair and Worm-er" is this trope by fact (although maybe not by spirit) -- first the bird hunts the worm, then the cat the bird, then the dog the cat, then the dog catcher the dog, then the dog catcher's wife... the mouse... the random skunk... the everyone the everyone else... it must be the most chaotic mass chase ever animated.

* FanFic/TheNonBronyverse fic ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/82686/7 TD's Little Rarity]]'' has TD being forced to take care of a filly Rarity ala ''FanFic/MyLittleDashie''. He gets worried that other people would find her and tries his best to hide her from others. RealityEnsues as his brony ex-roommate Ben finds out, and a fight between the two ends them with the authorities. Once they find out, TD does the first thing he thinks of: grab Rarity and high-tail it out of there. Of course, the rest of the dorm (primairily composed of bronies) notices TD and starts to pursue him too. Once TD gets into his car and tries to escape, an increasingly number of cars pursue it, including a fair number of police cars. A blockade forces him to stop, making TD being flanked by all of the cars, including the inevitable news chopper.
