* GameplayAndStorySegregation: You either rear-end or open fire at the suspect's vehicle until the perp's car bursts in flames, yet the ending cutscenes for each mission show the suspect(s) and their vehicle as intact without even a single scratch. Taken UpToEleven with ''Special Criminal Investigation'' where you're supposed to rescue abducted girls stashed in a car or a van, yet you're given a ''rocket launcher'' to put the suspect vehicle with ''victims on board'' to a burning halt.

** The arcade-exclusive ''Chase H.Q. 2'' (2007) (Which undergone 3DVideoGameLeap)

''Chase H.Q.'' is a police-themed UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame by Creator/{{Taito}}. It was released in 1988, with three sequels: ''S.C.I.: Special Criminal Investigation'', ''Super Chase: Criminal Termination'' (which got a Super NES adaptation called ''Super Chase H.Q.''), and ''Chase H.Q. 2''.

* CowboyCop: In RealLife, police officers are only authorised to use deadly force in a police chase as a last resort if the suspect is determined to be too dangerous to be apprehended in a non-lethal manner; the 1989 sequel takes this to a ludicrous extreme by giving the player ''military-grade weapons'' to stop fleeing felons and two of the vehicles have a ''hostage'' on board!

* MirrorMatch: The final level of the first game has you facing off against the bad guy in another Porsche 928 like the one you’re driving.

* {{Fauxrarri}}: ''Chase H.Q. 2'' has fictionalized cars instead of real-life cars in other games, due to licensing concerns.

The player assumes the role of a police officer, à la ''Series/MiamiVice'', driving a custom Porsche with a two-speed gear shift and a turbo button on the side. In each of the five levels, the player has sixty seconds to catch up to the criminal, the another sixty seconds to ram his car until it is too badly damaged to drive.

In ''Super Chase HQ'', you get 3 turbos per stage that can be spent to rear-end the enemy.

* ArtisticLicenseCars: In the first game, while the Porsche 928 is no slouch performance wise, especially with the top engine, it should have problems keeping up with the fourth car, a Ferrari 288 [=GTO=] and the third car, a Porsche 959 (the fastest production car ever when it was first sold) should leave it for dust.
* BadassDriver: The only logical explanation as to how you can keep up (without using the nitro boosts) with three of the cars in the first game as one is equal to and two are superior to your car in acceleration and top speed.

* MissionControl: Nancy in all the games.
