Battle Royale: Movie Runners

Joggers vs. sprinters in this fast-paced face-off


Tom Cruise, Mission: Impossible III (2006)



The first two M:I flicks made it fairly apparent that Tom was no slouch when it came to hot-footing it after bad guys/away from large exploding things. But actually running through MID-AIR, as glimpsed in this teaser? Another. Level.

Speed: Close to terminal velocity, 9

Power: Limited by Earth’s wussy gravitational pull, 6

Manliness: Makes the ‘air bicycle’ acceptable again, 8


Easily skinning...


Everyone, The Shining (1980)




Ok, so Jack’s got a gammy leg, but his wheezy “I’m right behind ya!” sounds more like a deluded self-help mantra than a threat to his rapidly escaping child. Ms Duval, meanwhile, attempts to flee The Overlook by walking like a Thunderbird.

Speed: Like next winter will do, 1

Power: Wheeeeere’s Johnny? 3

Manliness: “Yes, it’s perfect for a child.” 2

 
Next: Ewan McGregor vs Corey Feldman

      what about Daniel Craig's foot chases in both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace?

      umm, think he was running on those soft east-coast pavement of Edinburgh actually (apologies for the west-coast bias).
