Best "on-foot" chase scene?

DVD Talk Hero
Time and Tide (Tsui Hark - 2000) had a pretty memorable chase sequence, considering it encompasses pretty much the entire last hour of the movie and contains 1) a guy being used as a rappel weight and 2) a chase along the side of an apartment complex.

Casino Royale and The Bourne Ultimatum sprang to mind. The Back to the Future chases too, although some of them weren't strictly on foot, because there were skateboards/hoverboards and horses too.
Most of Run Lola Run qualifies too. There was a French film called District 13 which was essentially one long parkour scene too (free-running, it's also what you see in the Casino Royale sequence).
Um... the chase in Blades of Glory? Though that's more 'on-skates.'

I am partial to the original 'chase' scene in Halloween where Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't have the keys to get in the house - absolutely love the scene, although maybe not exactly a chase scene like the others mentioned.
I did also like the helicopter and motorcycle chase scene in Tomorrow Never Dies. Not on foot, but the beginning is - getting out of the Carver Building.
And of course, the Alien queen chasing Sigourney Weaver through the station in ALIENS.

Another vote for Casino Royale. I thought that was an amazing chase scene. It seemed to go on forever and was really intense.
Also, another vote for TCM. Leatherface chasing Sally was going to be my unchosen pick, until I saw someone else mentioned it already.

I thought of Dash running from the badguy flyers in The Incredibles. He was the only one on-foot, but you gotta admit, running on the surface of the water and dodging a hail of bullets at your heels is pretty cool.

Maybe this is cheating (he's on his feet)

A bit rough around the edges, but it's pretty damn entertaining.
