Fruit Cart | comment |
From Roger Ebert's dictionary of movie clichés, fast chase scenes require a fruit cart being plowed into, preferably by a Drives Like Crazy Red Shirt in hot pursuit. Almost always pops up in "ethnic" neighborhoods (e.g. Chinatown, Little Italy, etc.). If a chase scene takes place in one, you're supposed to chant "Fruit Cart! Fruit Cart! Fruit Cart!" repeatedly until its inevitable destruction in a spray of melon rind. Occasionally the fruit cart is replaced by a newspaper stand, a pile of garbage, or a row of garbage cans, but the fruit stand is still a favorite, mostly because the crash will create a very colorful explosion. In real life, driving through a fruit stand would leave the car in no condition to continue the chase. In a related trope, action movies with a gunfight in an outdoor market will inevitably result in the shooting of one or more exploding melons. Also note: If the cart contains prominently placed oranges, you're probably doomed. Subtrope of Chase-Scene Obstacle Course. The Sheet of Glass is often used in the same manner. For an indoor version see Doomed Supermarket Display. |

MythBusters covers this along with several other Hollywood car crash cliches on their Demolition Derby special. The resulting explosion of melons, tomatoes, bananas, carrots, etc. looked damn impressive (not to mention on high-speed camera), "just like the movies," but an actual car, it turns out, isn't likely to be driveable afterwards. | |

Discworld: Moving Pictures. Two wizards fly a broomstick into a barn as part of a high-speed chase. The farmers, watching, observe that in the movies they would come out covered with panicked chickens. The owner of the barn comments that he'd like to see that because that barn is filled with cabbages. Thanks to the influence of "Holy Wood magic" and the Theory of Narrative Causality, they do in fact come out covered with chickens. The Truth in which a minor disaster in the city streets results in the destruction of several fruit vendors', hagglers, and flour carts, provoking Sacharissa Cripslock to describe the incident in a headline as "The City's Biggest Cake-Mix-Up." In Night Watch, the fleeing watchmen deliberately use this to slow down the men chasing them. One of them even apologizes to the cart driver. Also in Night Watch, the aforementioned fruit, egg, and flour carts are trampled by runaway oxen. One of the soldiers suggests making a giant cake. Feet of Clay, while Commander Vimes is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he mentions getting close a few times before having to maneuver around a large fruit cart that has just poked out of a convenient alley. The accompanying footnote suggests that the commonness of this occurrence or ones like it are probably the work of a secret society. |

Shows up in the 2004 Appleseed film of all places; while in pursuit of Deunan and Hitomi, the van being driven by the robot ninja ladies smashes a watermelon stand that seems to have been placed there just to be crashed into, as it's in a Shining City of the future without the crowded marketplaces of the present. Though this trope starts off the chase rather than being mid-way through it. | |

The 1977 film Grand Theft Auto note unrelated to the Grand Theft Auto video game series featured a chase scene where a crazy hillbilly family attempts to stop the protagonists' car with thrown sticks of dynamite.

Variant: Top Gear (UK): in the "Car for a 17-Year-Old" challenge the presenters demolish a flower cart, a bus shelter, a row of bicycles, and a parked car or two while pretending to drive like teenagers. Also a bit of a subversion. While the impacts look just as exciting as in the movies, the cars did not escape unscathed - Clarkson's car started spraying washer fluid, obstructing his vision, and Hammond's run ended prematurely when he rammed a parked car the others had avoided. Only Captain Slow's car, which he'd driven the way his nickname implies, seemed to come out none the worse for wear.note At least until the end, when he tried to squeeze between two parked cars that the others had pushed even closer together. Also, in the episode where they go to Albania, the presenters get into a high-speed chase with the police after robbing a bank. During the chase, Clarkson and Hammond drive past a man carrying a crate of oranges, which promptly spill all over the road. The above-mentioned symbolism for the oranges is prevalent here, as the episode was kicked off by a request from an Albanian mob boss, and while Jeremy and Richard make it safely to the getaway ferry, James isn't so fortunate.... |

The stars of Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender have run into a variation in the form of the same cabbage cart in three different cities, much to the despair of the salesman. This always results in an anguished cry of "my cabbages!" Near the end of the show's run, they mention (and watch) an in-universe play chronicling the events of the series (with... dubious accuracy). One of the sources? "A surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbages". The Cabbage Merchant has become quite the memetic character. It's four cities if you count the unattended cabbage cart in "Jet". In the sequel, said cabbage vendor has expanded into a multinational manufacturer of cars and airships. Said corporation is accused of funding the anti-Bender revolution in secret and gets raided, with the CEO even saying "Not my Cabbage Corp!" They probably got tired of all the benders trashing their carts. |

Parodied in the Robot Chicken episode "Vegetable Funfest," where one of the "channel flip" linking segments involves a near-miss with a fruit cart during a chase scene. Then the vendor is hit by a safe. Parodied again in the Baby Terminator skit, where during a very slow chase with a cyborg puppy, the mini-truck it’s riding is about to slowly collide with a fruit stand much bigger than the actual vehicle, until the vendor, with no effort at all, slowly turns the truck with its foot on the grill. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Sleepless in Ponyville" inverts it. Scootaloo is zipping along on her scooter and she encounters a fruit cart, already turned over, in the middle of the street. She uses it as an impromptu ramp to get some major airtime. "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" has Diamond Tiara tip over a fruit cart to delay the Cutie Mark Crusaders during a chase. Unfortunately for her, they're in the middle of a song, so the Crusaders use Offscreen Teleportation to appear ahead of Diamond Tiara to keep singing. "All Bottled Up" inverts it as well. Bulk Biceps, who has become an unwitting vessel of Starlight Glimmer's anger, throws his own nut cart at a fleeing Trixie. |

Moving Pictures. Two wizards fly a broomstick into a barn as part of a high-speed chase. The farmers, watching, observe that in the movies they would come out covered with panicked chickens. The owner of the barn comments that he'd like to see that because that barn is filled with cabbages. Thanks to the influence of "Holy Wood magic" and the Theory of Narrative Causality, they do in fact come out covered with chickens. | |

In the series Star Wars Rebels episode "Fighter Flight", Zeb and Ezra are sent on a Snipe Hunt to get the bickering pair out of everyone else's hair on the Ghost. One thing led to another, and they ended up hijacking a TIE fighter. Inside the cockpit, they start bickering again. In the ensuing scuffle, they accidentally cause the craft's laser cannons to discharge repeatedly, once into a fruit cart that the low-flying craft was near. The ensuing explosion of fruit pulp completely obscures the canopy, causing them to fly over the Ghost without seeing it and nearly crash into a pillar of rock. | |

When the majordomo in a speeder is being chased by the Mods through the streets of Mos Espa, he knocks over at least two fruit stalls before finally crashing into an entire fruit market, burying his speeder in Meiloorun fruit.

Happens at least once in Ronin (1998), although made more bearable because the fruit vendor is then shot. That movie has enormous collateral damage.

Parodied in the "Dog City" episode of The Jim Henson Hour, in which the chase between Ace and Bugsy does indeed knock over a fruit cart, but it turns out to stock squeaky toys that happen to be shaped like fruit. | |

The pilot for Burn Notice uses this one before the first commercial: Michael is on a motorcycle in Nigeria, pursued by a car full of mooks with SMGs. He dodges around a cart, while the car plows into it. Michael's narration comments how, as the gun-running capital of Africa, Nigeria is a bad place to drive a fast-moving car through a crowded market square. The mooks step out and wave their guns around, only to have fifty pistols aimed at their faces. | |

Buster Keaton's Seven Chances uses this trope with, of all things, boxes of bees. | |

Even realistic police procedural Hill Street Blues couldn't resist doing this at least once, albeit with a newspaper kiosk instead of a literal fruit cart, which gets demolished by Hill and Renko's patrol car when the passenger in a fleeing car takes "shotgun seat" a bit more literally than usual and forces Andy to swerve to avoid getting a faceful of buckshot. Captain Furillo is not terribly pleased when he sees the mess they made. | |

One episode of Dexter's Laboratory had Dexter accidentally start driving a car. Due to him being so short, he can't see over the dashboard and as such runs not only through a fruit cart, but also a stack of empty cardboard boxes. | |
