The best foot chase ever

This has been a great day in the "Best of..." world. We have had best loss of a limb, best explosion (non-porn) and now....Best Foot Chase, mine would have to be in Lethal Weapon, or Bourne Supremecy, Serpico is pretty good to. List your best...

Casino Royale.

Easily the most exciting and insane foot chase I've seen.

Even though I thought the movie crapped out in the last third, I was completely into Casino Royale and the scene where he chases the Haitain ice cream man from Ghost Dog was a highlight of why I loved it.

Let me add Se7en and The Warriors, and to an extent, No Country for Old Men (hotel scene).

I was going to say Casino also. Just where they went up the crane was enough for me to make my jaw drop. I'd like to add the Tell No One to the list.

Although more famous for it's car chase, The French Connection also has a pretty nifty foot chase through the subway.

I won't say it's the best ever, but when I thought of foot chases on film, I immediately pictured Kevin Costner's character being chased by the two thugs in No Way Out.

I was going to say Raising Arizona but since someone said it already I'll say Point Break, Men in Black, & Crimewave(early Cohen brothers movie) all had good foot chases.

I love the Raising Arizona one myself with the running in and out of houses. Amazing.

For a silly one, how about the chase between Sing and the Landlady in 'Kung Fu Hustle'?

For longest, how about Naked Prey? Pretty badass.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down to watch Apocalypto, but I got into that foot chase, as well (course, it's pretty darn similar to Naked Prey. Hmm...)

The opening chase in Casino Royale was good but it was a pale imitation of the opening of District B13.

The opening chase (boulder/natives) in Raiders of the Lost Ark is worth a mention as well.
