* ''TheBluesBrothers''. The title characters are trying to get to the Cook County Assessor's office to pay the tax on the orphanage. They're pursued by police officers, National Guard troops, Nazis [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a country-western band]], with much destruction along the way.

* ''{{Heat}}'' (1995) has the running firefight that takes place after a botched robbery.
* Midway through ''OngBak'', Tony Jaa partakes in one of these. Naturally, he is trying to avoid confrontation, but as soon as he gets cornered, he lays a serious beat down on any of those dumb enough to attack him.
* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2''. Po chasing Wolf Boss across Gongmen City on rickshaws! HilarityEnsues. Po wins the fight, only to find that Wolf Boss isn't just running from him, he's running ''to'' the palace, [[OhCrap guarded by an entire army of wolf soldiers]].

** In the SequelSeries, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Tenzin fights [[ArcVillain Zaheer]] in the episode "The Ultimatum". The first part of the fight is a chase, with Zaheer trying to escape from Tenzin so they can fight on higher grounds.

* In the ''{{Popeye}}'' cartoon "A Dream Walking", Popeye and Bluto chase after a sleepwalking Olive ''while'' fighting over who gets to save her.

* In ''{{Naruto}}'', Pain and the Kyuubi engage in this.

* {{ECW}} matches tended to go all over the arena.

* ''CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon'', the two main female characters have one of these across the rooftops.

* ''HoratioHornblower'': The first-published book, ''The Happy Return''[[hottip:*: [[MarketBasedTitle Beat To Quarters, in the US]], featured a climactic chase between Captain Hornblower's frigate HMS ''Lydia'' against the much more powerful warship ''Natividad''. Also, the ''Natividad's'' stern guns have a longer range than the ''Lydia's'' forward guns, which means that the ''Lydia'' has to soak several hits before she can get close enough to return fire. To pass the time, and [[StiffUpperLip to keep his men from realizing how nervous he is about the situation]], he invites his officers to a game of cards, and orders the sailors to have a dancing competion, even as cannon shot from the ''Natividad'' lands all around them.

* During an EscortMission of a coach from Kariko Village to Hyrule Castle Town in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' Link has to fight off several Bokoblins.

* In Manga/RanmaOneHalf occasionally the fights turn into this but a couple fights where explicitly this in that they were races to a finish line while trying to take out the competition at the same time.

* The final fights in some of the ''StarWars'' movies tend to be this. For example, the [[ThePhantomMenace Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul]] fight and the [[RevengeOfTheSith Obi-Wan vs. Anakin]] fight.

* The beginning of ''[[StarWarsANewHope Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]]''. Princess Leia's starship is fighting with Darth Vader's Star Destroyer as she tries to escape so she can give technical data on the Death Star to the Rebel Alliance.

While this is often referred to as a SternChase in naval warfare, ''that'' trope actually refers to a much longer persuit with actual fighting being relatively rare, such as [[TheFugitive a fugitive]] on the run from the law.

* Wrestling/{{WWE}} "Hardcore" matches often go backstage, and recently Wrestling/{{Kane}} [[http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=jV8N6g_qRqM chokeslammed]] ReyMysterioJr into the Gulf of Mexico after Mysterio Hurricanrana'd JackSwaggar into the ocean. (The match started in an arena that's within spitting distance to the ocean.)

* ''HonorHarrington'', of course, being ''Horatio Hornblower [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE]]'', features more than a few of these. The first book has a lone undergunned light cruiser doggedly chasing down a much more powerful merchant cruiser, later books have entire fleets engaging in chases when one fleet or the other is forced to disengage and retreat, with their enemies not wanting them to escape with their forces intact. One book has an outmatched force [[DelayingAction trick a much larger force into chasing them deeper into the system]] so that [[TheCavalry their reinforcements]] can trap the attacking fleet inside [[NoWarpingZone the system hyperlimit]].

* You'll probably have these in the ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'' series.

* The fight between Jack, Will and Norrington from the second PiratesOfTheCaribbean.

* BatmanUnderTheRedHood has several. The Red Hood always runs from Batman until their final encounter, usually fighting the whole way.
