Line 39:
* In the film ''[[Alien (franchise)|Aliens]]'', everyone runs forward when the [[Drop Ship]] crashes, instead of moving sideways out of the path of the oncoming debris.
* ''[[Forrest Gump]]'': "Run, Forrest, run!" Try "Dodge, Forrest, dodge!" Though he does take off across a field and hop a fence at least once.
* Directly parodied at the start of [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'': The boulder chases the Weird Al version of Indiana Jones around various random locations until he realizes he can just run to the side... ''and the boulder turns to follow him''.
* 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.
