* In ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVII'' one of the rooms in the Archduke Fifi Le yip-Yap's parlor is like this.

* Episode 3 of ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' has Scooby Dooby ''Pipes''. {{Justified|Trope}}, since warp pipes in the [[SuperMarioBros Mario games]] [[AlienGeometries never really worked like regular doors to begin with]].

*** Also, a waiter keeps coming down the hallway and getting knocked down by the chase.

* A rare dramatic example: in ''Film/TheAdjustmentBureau'', the Adjusters are able to travel from their secret base to anywhere in New York by passing through any doorway. When MattDamon gets his hands on an Adjuster's CoolHat, he and Elise are able to evade them, going from downtown Manhattan to Yankee Stadium to Ellis Island in rapid succession.

** "Love and Monsters".\\\
Some considered this overly cartoonish and silly, while others thought it was all part of an enjoyably offbeat SomethingCompletelyDifferent episode. Some however, have cited it as evidence that Elton, the episode's focus and narrator is an [[UnreliableNarrator unreliable one.]]

* A MentalWorld version showed up in the fourth episode of ''{{Anime/Kaiba}}''.

* Happens in an episode of [[KirbyOfTheStars the Kirby anime]], where Lololo and Lalala are trying to keep [[ItMakesSenseInContext Kirby's two halves]] away from Dedede, Escargon and [[MonsterOfTheWeek the episode's monster]]. In between slapstick antics, there are repeated scenes of everyone running between columns, complete with the "multiple versions of one character" joke.

* Turns up in ''FanFic/AMVHell 4'', all done to the theme to ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' and involving a metric ton of sight gags.

* Subverted (with identical twin sisters entering and exiting adjacent rooms) and played straight in BusterKeaton's ''ThePlayhouse''.

* In the JackieChan movie ''Mr. Nice Guy'', there is a brief door scene where two goons pursuing Jackie Chan's character pop out of two different doors, see each other, scream in surprise, and slam the doors. The first thug then hesitantly opens his door. The other door pops open and out comes Jackie Chan with the second thug in a headlock.
* The LeslieNielsen movie ''WrongfullyAccused'' features such a chase in a sewer.
* ''NoDepositNoReturn'' does this in a parking garage with a police car and the protagonists' car.
* This happens with some frequency in the movie version of ''{{Theatre/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead}}'', when R and G try to find their way around Elsinore. While chasing after the Player King, they end up in a different hallway than him. This is meant as a sign of how the Player knows his way around the castle(and the play) while R and G keep getting lost in their roles.
* There's a brief moment of this in ''SomeLikeItHot'' when the gangsters are chasing the heroes around the hotel.

* ''{{Webcomic/Weregeek}}'' shows it on [[http://www.weregeek.com/2011/10/27/ this page]].

** Its occurrence in the ScrewySquirrel cartoon ''Lonesome Lenny'' was not only over the top (with additional chasers and chasees being added at random, including a cow, a lech chasing a screaming woman, and various clones of Screwy and Lenny), but self-referential, as the cow briefly stopped in the middle of the chase to [[TalkingWithSigns hold up a sign]] reading, "Silly, isn't it?"

* Occurred in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Pound Puppies 1980s}}'' movie when the protagonists are trying to keep the Bone of Scone away from [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast McNasty]] and his henchmen.

** It also happens in the episode "Don't Touch That Dial" when Mighty ends up in the Ring a Ding show and the gang chases him which is a parody of Scooby Doo.

* Done in at least one episode of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyQuest'' with a motorbike being chased by villains in a jeep. Also Hadji in some water barrels.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' set it up in their ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' parody in "Saturday Morning Fun Pit", by having Shaggy!Fry, Scooby!Bender, and the MonsterOfTheWeek go through a cloning machine, seeing Fry and Bender go through one set of doors...

*** Note that this followed the very dark two-parter 'The Satan Pit' - it may be that the writers decided that after two episodes of terrifying the viewers, they should do something light-hearted to provide time to recover and reset the mood.

** Also an abbreviated version is briefly used in an early Ninth Doctor episode 'World War Three', inside 10 Downing Street.

* ''WesternAnimation/Futurama'' set it up in their ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' parody in "Saturday Morning Fun Pit", by having Shaggy!Fry, Scooby!Bender, and the MonsterOfTheWeek go through a cloning machine, seeing Fry and Bender go through one set of doors... [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope and cut to the next scene.]]]]

* Used in the episode "[=McStroke=]" from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.

* FrizFreleng had his own variant: two characters chasing each other (with MickeyMousing hopping steps) in a room full of doors: the chaser will see the chasee go into one door, go to it, but just as he opens it, the chasee comes out a ''completely different'' door; chaser goes to new door, cycle repeats. It shows up in ''Little Red Riding Rabbit'' (1944) and ''Buccaneer Bunny'' (1948).

* A number of Film/TheThreeStooges shorts make use of this gag, often with visible cuts during moments that involve impossible movements.
