Stock scene for the [[Adventurer Archaeologist]] and [[Mister Danger]] types, the not-so-[[Noble Savage|Noble Savages]] are angry at his stealing [[Plot Coupon|their]] [[MacGuffin|sacred]] [[Artifact of Death|idol]] and/or [[Cannibal Tribe|refusing to be their dinner.]] Expect there to be [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|hilariously ineffectual thrown spears]], hooting and jumping as he makes a clean getaway via plane, boat, car, or train.
Of course, this amounts to nothing so much as [[Mighty Whitey]] <s>stealing</s> "preserving for posterity" the ancient sacred objects of a lesser culture to a place they'll be truly appreciated: [[It Belongs in
Perhaps one of the most [[Dead Horse Trope|cliché]] things in these adventure movies. But hey, it sets the adventurous, peril dodging tone rather well.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Subverted in ''[[
** However this is the case with Chopper. In the manga chapter and cover story (as well as the anime adaption of said cover story) Chopper IS chased by the very very native looking natives of Torino Kingdom (obese people wearing nothing but straw skirts), attacking with spears.....that get fired out of a cannon.
** Don't forget what happened to Luffy in the anime rendition of the Amazon Lily arc.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* This happened once or twice to ''[[Tintin
* In the ''[[Excalibur (Comic Book)|Excalibur]]'' story arc ''The Crosstime Caper'', we get a few short vignettes of strange dimensions our heroes passed dimension-hopping, and one is a weird world where Europe was colonized by the Native Americans and is, essentially, the Wild West. We see them chased by angry warpainted British "braves" wearing bowler hats and swinging umbrellas.
Line 29:
* Jackie Chan's movie ''Armour of God'' starts with our hero stealing a sword from a bunch of natives, during while the natives are worshiping the said sword. After being chased by the angry natives, he flies away with an ultralight aircraft, natives awed by this wonder start worshiping the flying thing.
** Played with in the sequel, ''Operation Condor'', sneaks in and goes for the big, expensive looking gems built into the natives' idol. Their witch doctor seems OK with it. He's quite displeased when he takes some of the water from the spring at the base of the idol, but even then he's willing to let it slide if he marries the chief's ugly daughter. Cue chase scene.
* ''[[
** And ''[[Indiana Jones and
* ''[[Doomsday]],'' where the "natives" are [[Violent Glaswegian|Violent Glaswegians]] after a viral epidemic turns them into post apocalyptic survivors.
* Happens to Jack Sparrow in the second ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie. In fact, the image of him running away from them was one of the first things released about the movie, prompting many fans to wonder just what he's done ''this'' time. {{spoiler|It was the refusing-to-be-dinner scenario, but with a twist: the natives believed Jack was a [[God in Human Form|flesh-imprisoned god yearning to be set free.]]}}
* The beginning of [[Peter Jackson|Peter Jackson's]] ''[[
* The [[Disney]] ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea|20,000 Leagues Under the Sea]]'' has one following the "research trip" onto a nearby island, disturbing [[Wacky Wayside Tribe|the local cannibals]], which becomes [[Values Dissonance|really racist rather quickly]] as well as an outrage to all logic and logistics, but does allow Nemo a reason to point out [[Chekhov's Gun|the Nautilus' defenses]].
* Happens to Thugg Speedman in ''[[Tropic Thunder]]''. Both in the Movie and in the [[Show Within a Show|Movie Within The Movie]].
* Kinda what happens in the middle of ''[[The Mummy
* Not a literal native example, Shooter Gavin in ''[[Happy Gilmore]]'' gets chased by angry spectators after he steals the golden blazer when Happy manages to beat him.
== Literature ==
* Used in the first ''[[
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' "Basics, Part II", a part of the marooned crew is chased by angry stone-agey aliens. This particular part of the crew getting chased, oddly enough, is led by [[Magical Native American|Chakotay]].
