With the exception of dream sequences, chase sequences are my least favorite part of a tv show or film. There are exceptions of course. The final chase scene in The Blues Brothers was a work of art.
Lately it seems a chase scene is just something to take up time. Few further the plot along. If the characters are running, they rarely seem to get tired or sweat…it’s as if they got in shape simply because they knew someone would chase them. In reality, the average chase with average people wouldn’t last more than a few blocks without someone needing a gatorade. I only run if I need to…and that’s only after considering other transportation options.
Do I sound crabby?
