Line 31:
* In ''[[Spiral]]: Suiri no Kizuna,'' Ayumu steals Kousuke's bike. This is awesome because a) he's racing Kousuke to gain control of a [[MacGuffin]], and b) Kousuke is left yelling "Stop! Thief!" after threatening to murder Ayumu's sidekick and breaking into his mailbox.
* In ''[[Iketeru Futari]]'', Saji steals a scooter from his friend Urawa to chase his would-be girlfriend Koizumi, who's taken a taxi. Especially troublesome for Urawa, since he was working at the time.
{{quote| '''Saji:''' Urawa! I'll never forget what a great friend you are!<br />
'''Urawa:''' Aaaahhh! Don't leave me with just the pizza! }}
* In ''[[FAKE]]'', Dee steals a random guy's motorcycle when he realizes that Ryo is in danger. Not only does he reach Ryo just in time, but he gets to make a bad ass entrance.
Line 50:
* ''[[Sin City]]'' has the stolen-car version of this trope. In one notable case, a hero actually stole a cop car.
* Also used by the [[X-Men]]. On one occasion, Cyke collared a bike to go after Batroc and the Circus of Crime, left a note, and at the end Professor X complained about how often its owner was ringing and demanding it back.
{{quote| '''Cyclops''': [[The Art of War]] says you must seize opportunities as they arise...The Book of Cyclops says you don't have to be a punk about it, though.}}
 
 
Line 64:
* [[Shrek]] rather unceremoniously steals the clothes of some travelers in the second movie after he takes his potion...
** Though he ''does'' leave them with their actual vehicle, {{spoiler|since Donkey is now a horse.}}
{{quote| '''Shrek''': Thank you, gentlemen. Someday I will repay you, unless of course I can't find you, or if I forget.}}
* [[The Fairly Odd Parents|Timmy]] steals a dirtbike in order to get to the villains' hideout in ''[[A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!]]!''
 
Line 97:
* Sedgwick steals a bicycle in ''[[The Great Escape]]''. (And related, two others steal a rowboat.) The liner notes commentary in the DVD points out that stealing is not recommended for POWs because committing a crime gives the foreign government an excuse to prosecute the POW as a criminal. {{spoiler|Luckily, all three escapees who steal manage to flee Nazi Germany.}}
* In ''[[Time Chasers]],'' hero Nick is a terrible driver and crashes the car he just stole for the chase scene. He then steals a bicycle and does quite well with it because he's an avid bicyclist. The bad guys ''follow suit'' by stealing more bicycles. It is a very healthy chase scene.
{{quote| '''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Tom Servo]]''': So it's bicycles, then, eh? We accept your choice of vehicle. En garde!}}
* In the 1990 ''[[Captain America]]'' film, Captain America feigns sickness to lure the unsuspecting driver out from the car before he steals it, ''twice''. He also does steal a bike from a civilian during his and Sharon's escape from the Red Skull's thugs.
* In the Hungarian phrasebook sketch in ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus|And Now For Something Completely Different]]'', the police officer steals someone's bicycle to get to the tobacconist's shop more quickly than in the television series.
Line 126:
** In the TV Movie, the Doctor steals a policeman's motorbike by ''holding'' himself at gunpoint.
* In ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', when Lister and Cat, trying to recover Kryten and, what the hey, Rimmer, too, find themselves on a world in a reality where time runs backwards (though they don't yet realize it), they steal a tandem from a pair of picnickers and start riding... only to find that it goes backwards! Understandably, they don't get far...
{{quote| '''Cat:''' No more! I'm not moving another yard on this thing! I'm gettin' a part in the back of my head!}}
* Done in an episode of ''[[NCIS]]'' where Tony goes undercover as a fugitive prisoner to get the location of stolen Iraqi treasure from a suspect and steals a guy's motorcycle after the suspect causes Tony to crash his truck.
* ''[[NCIS: Los Angeles]]'' did a high-speed double subversion of this trope, as a guy being chased at the shore grabs a bike from someone, then notices someone else arriving on a motorcycle, so tosses the bicycle into the path of his pursuers and steals ''that'' instead.
Line 162:
 
== Web Original ==
* In the second RP of the ''~[[Darwin's Soldiers~]]'' universe, Nixon steals a ''[[Cool Car|Lamborghini Gallardo]]'' and Alfred steals an expensive convertible to continue chasing Lab 101 after the truck rams Alfred's pickup truck through a cafe.
** Later, Dr. Zanasiu steals a Chevy Corvette from Pelvanida's parking lot.
 
Line 174:
* In ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', the hero Ecto-Rays Johnny 13 off his motorcycle and uses it to get to the Fenton Ghost Portal in time. This is also a [[Development Gag]].
* In an episode of ''[[Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos|Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos]]'', [[Chuck Norris]] himself pulls a flashed-badge hijack minus the badge. Made hilarious by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PkfNW5o2ag this trailer], which cuts him off mid-sentence at the end.
{{quote| '''Civilian:''' Hey! That's my bike!<br />
'''Chuck:''' Sorry, guys, this is an emergency. I'm Chuck Norris! }}
* In an episode of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', a kiddie vehicle chase highlights the difference between hero and villain:
{{quote| "That [[Mad Scientist|evil scientist]] stole my bike!"<br />
"That [[Animal Superhero|nice]] [[Everythings Better With Platypus|duck]] gave me twenty dollars for my skateboard!" }}
* Max of ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'' steals a skateboard on his way home from school, then gives it to a random character he passes.
* In ''[[Storm Hawks]]'', the gang was once attacked from the air while outside a diner. They split up, [[Gentle Giant|Junko]] taking a kid's bike for his getaway. He barely fits on it, but it serves its purpose for a while.
* ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|Spider-Man the Animated Series]]'' - Spidey and Black Cat grab a random guy's bike (complete with ''two'' [[Fantasy Helmet Enforcement|helmets]]) to get away from some SHIELD agents. After escaping the agents, Spider-Man insists they return the bike before making their next move.
{{quote| '''Guy:''' You miserable thieves!<br />
'''Spidey:''' We're not thieves! Well. Well, I'm not, but - her, I'm not so sure about. }}
* Inverted in ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', where Gumball ask permission to use a little girl's bike and she takes the opportunity to gouge as much money from him as possible. Of course he ended up destroying it anyway.
