Runwitme's Top 10 Running Scenes in A Motion Picture

My Favourite Running Scene in a Motion Picture Posted by Hello Running is my passion. So is watching movie. These are my favourite running scenes from movies. By the way, these are not running themed movies. If you have any favourite running scenes from movie, which are not mentioned below, please share them with me by leaving them in my comment link. Thank you. 1) Kung Fu Hustle - Ah Sing chased by the landlady ala Wild E. Coyote and Roadrunner (Beep! Beep!). Sing uses the knives stabbed on his shoulder as rear view mirrors. ROTFLOL. I can never stop laughing every time I see this part on my DVD. 2) Trinity (Carrie Anne Moss) running away from the Agents after her signature leap-in-the-air-kick in opening scene of Matrix. Gravity defying, she runs and leaps from building to building effortlessly in her slick PVC bodysuit with heels. Run, Trinity, run! 3) Dash in Mr. Incredible zip-zaps around the jungle to escape from the baddies. Oh wow! He can run on water too. Isn’t he incredible? 4) My Best Friend's Wedding – Michael (Dermot Mulroney) running after Kimmy (Cameron Diaz) after she sees him kissing Jules (Julia Roberts) and then Jules starts chasing after them in the lawn...a threesome act...What can you expect? 5) Forrest Gump - Run Forrest Run! Remember Forrest suddenly runs non-stop Interstates? This inspirational movie stars Tom Hanks as light-brained and also light-footed Forrest Gump. 6) Dawn of The Dead - The zombies are speed demons. Unlike the sluggish living deads in previous zombie movies, the white-eyed, rabid zombies here are vicious, fast and could sprint out of nowhere to gnaw on your flesh. Scary shit this. 7) The Bachelor - Jimmie (Chris O'Donnell) in tuxedo, running away from hundreds of brides in the street. Now, this is scarier than the zombies..LOL. 8) Men In Black – J (Will Smith) gives an out-of-this-world speedy guy a chase in the street of New York. The guy turns out to be an alien with eyes that blink vertically. 9) Casey (Drew Barrymore) is pursuit by Ghost-faced killer in opening sequence of Scream. She ends up bloodily stabbed on her boobs and hung on a tree. This is later charismatically parodied by silicon enhanced Carmen Electra in Scary Movie which involves a slow-mo ala Baywatch run in the garden with the sprinkler on in her two-piece itsy bitsy bikini. Scary turns hilarious! 10) Ong Bak - Ting (Tony Jaa) chased by a bunch of bad-asses in the street of Bangkok. He skillfully navigates around, under, above and through obstacles like kids, stalls, bicycles, tables, drums, barbwires, boiling oil, glass panels, tires, fences, moving cars etc. Jackie Chan would be proud of this agile Thai boy.
