In a chase, the hero will always overtake the villain, even if the villain is in a Ferrari and the hero is in an auto-rickshaw.
A typical Hindi film chase is one in which the villain walks into a 'mandap' (wedding ceremony), abducts the heroine and drives away in a Jeep, to be chased by the hero on a horse. Such chase scenes always head outside the city, up or down a mountain, and end with a bloody fistfight.
The heroine is either unconscious throughout the whole affair, or is just struggling meekly in a heap of gold.
If at the end of the chase scene, the two cars are on the verge of falling over a cliff, the hero's car stays and the villain's goes over.
