Line 41:
* In the bad TV movie ''[[10.5]]'', a bicyclist tries to outrace the Space Needle as it breaks from its base and comes crashing to the ground... when he could have easily biked all of six feet to either side of or behind the base, and avoided the whole problem.
* Parodied in ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'', when Harisson flees a runaway train by running into the woods--whereupon the train promptly follows him.
* Played with in ''[[Mars Attacks (Film)!]]'' when a flying saucer, planning to crush a group of Boy Scouts, demolishes the base of the Washington Monument, only for them to run out of the way. The saucer then flies around to the other side of the falling obelisk to make it fall the other way. Rinse, repeat.
* ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]''. Susan ran forward, and way from the meteor, instead of, you know, going left or right. Actually, she would've been fine where she was at originally, it only hit her because she ran straight into its path.
* Justified in ''[[Back to The Future]] II'': when Biff tries to run down Marty, they're inside a tunnel and Biff has the speed advantage (and can swerve his car if Marty attempts to dodge.)
