* Azaka Kokuto from ''[[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature)|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' noticeably ran like this when she did a [[Foe Tossing Charge]], although it might be because she was running on the backs of pews to get directly to her target.

* Azaka Kokuto from ''[[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature)|Kara no Kyoukai]]'' noticeably ran like this when she did a [[Foe-Tossing Charge]], although it might be because she was running on the backs of pews to get directly to her target.

* The opening credits of ''[[Excel Saga (Anime)|Excel Saga]]'' give Hyatt an exaggerated version of this, alongside a loose-limbed Excel.

* Mikuru in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', especially in the student film shown in the first episode. It doesn't control her [[Gainaxing]], though.

Line 54:

** The above quote, by Dr.Evil, is said immediatly after the above. What makes this even funnier, is that not even ten minutes later, after formulating a plan {{spoiler|with his brother, Austin Powers}}, he can be seen [[Hypocritical Humor|running like a girl.]]

* In ''[[Stand By Me]]'' it was used as an acting technique. Wil Wheaton was required by the plot to lose a foot race to River Phoenix, but discovered that he couldn't do it naturally. He found that by flailing his limbs about, it slowed him down enough to lose but at the same time he looked like he was actually trying harder to win.

* The dressmaker in ''[[Kung Fu Hustle]]'' runs a bit like this. [[Camp Gay|He's a guy]]. {{spoiler|Not to mention a [[Crouching Moron Hidden Badass|highly skilled martial artist]].}}

* [[Steven Seagal]] especially in ''[[Hard to Kill]]'' has the girliest run ever used by an action movie star. He seems to lose control of his arm while sprinting.

* [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Captain Jack Sparrow]] uses the "arms flailing wildly" variant of a girly run; see it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUkRatOSxaI here.] It's particularly noticeable in comparison to the much more efficient running style of the cannibals.

Line 70:

* Malcolm Tucker from ''[[The Thick of It]]'' and ''[[In the Loop]]'' is an aggressive, foul-mouthed, bullying alpha male... who runs like a girl.

** Peter Capaldi already ran like a girl, back when he was Danny in ''[[Local Hero]]''. It came across as rather [[Cute Clumsy Girl|adorable]] then.

* Probably not intentional, but Avon from ''[[~~Blakes~~ Seven (TV)|Blakes Seven]]'' gets a bit... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWv2WWNZzhw flaily] when he [[Runs/Justified]] in that he's a computer technician. The same excuse can be used for Blake, an engineer. [[Ax Crazy|Bodyguard Travis]] on the other hand, is occasionally shown virtually skipping due to the small size of the sets, despite his [[Ax Crazy]] tough guy character.

* Probably not intentional, but Avon from ''[[Blake's Seven (TV)|Blakes Seven]]'' gets a bit... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWv2WWNZzhw flaily] when he [[Runs/Justified]] in that he's a computer technician. The same excuse can be used for Blake, an engineer.

* ''[[News Radio]]'' - at a Halloween party, Dave, dressed like a girl, gets in an argument with Lisa, who runs off. Dave sighs and runs after her, in heels, with no trouble. His ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'' background served him well...

* On ''[[Burn Notice]]'' Michael Westen runs like a girl while posing as a nerdy chemist so that he will be caught by a gang of drug thiefs and be ''forced'' to infiltrate them
