Line 28:
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Kung Fu Hustle]]'', namely the chase scene with the landlady running after the hero. To reinforce how absurd this is, the hero uses two knives buried in his shoulders as rear-view mirrors, and at the end the landlady goes flying and ends up flattened against a billboard (somehow losing her panties and bra midair).
* ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'', where Leslie Nielsen tries to outrun a carnivorous train.
* Maruti as Hanuman does this before he starts to attack in ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]''.
Line 34:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In an episode of ''[[The Muppet Show]],'' a character has three legs in a wheel arrangement, wildly spinning as a background scrolls behind him and he sings "Windmills of Your Mind." Amusingly, he later appears in another sketch, and he's still equipped with the leg-wheel, no longer spinning.
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 42:
* Until he made the jump to 3D games, ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'''s running animation was always done like this, in both the games and the TV series that was based on them.
** The first ''[[Sonic Advance]]'' did this with Sonic only, but other characters and games averted it.
** Even though Sonic's feet actually run in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'', the animation also has blur effects that evoke the classic wheel as an homage. One of his taunts also has him performing the perplexingly figure-8-shaped Super Peelout from ''[[Sonic CD]]''.
** Several of the 3D games worked similar to ''Brawl'' in using blur effects in the animation of his normal running as an homage. Usually you wouldn't see this unless he was running the fastest he could possibly go, which generally meant Super Sneakers on a straightaway. The games are usually viewed from behind Sonic, making the effect largely impossible to detect most of the time.
** An issue of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|the American comic]] had Sonic answering [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot|a fan letter]] about how he did it. He proceeded to demonstrate, only to hit a tree in the middle of it.
Line 49:
* Chloe in ''[[Touch Detective]]'' does this, usually when put in a tight place by her own words.
* Used in, of all things, ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''. Although it ''was'' during the silly, pre-killing part.
* In ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'', the eponymous Yoshi has this when running fast.
* Shy Guys from the [[Super Mario]] series have a unique half-arc running animation.
* In ''[[Spyro the Dragon]] 2,'' Spyro's feet do this when he's using a Supercharge.
