Alex is either chasing or looking for Bob and comes across Chuck. Chuck points in one direction and says something along the lines of "He went that way." Inevitably, Chuck either is in cahoots with Bob, who went the other way, or is actually Bob in disguise.
Related to Look Behind You.
Sometimes combined with Sarcastic Confession, if Alex doesn't trust Chuck then the chances are good that Bob really did go that way but Chuck knows Alex will simply assume he is lying and go the other way.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day. John Connor's friend tips him off that a policeman is looking for him, then tries to do this trope as Connor ducks out the back way. Unfortunately, the T-1000 has already seen Connor, and brutally shoves his friend aside.

Hefty Smurf chases after Clumsy in The Smurfs comic book story "Salad Smurfs" after he has turned into a potato, which was thought to be a contagious disease (Smurfs turning into vegetables), but later turns out to be the result of eating Mutagenic Food. He passes by Greedy in his pursuit and asks if he has seen Clumsy. He says he hasn't, but that he has seen a large potato. Greedy then points in the direction where he has seen the potato, and Hefty sees Clumsy trying to hide himself within the village well.

Head Office: In the climax, as Jack and Rachel are being chased down the stairways by gunmen because You Know Too Much, they pass his coworker Max on the stairs and beg for help, while continuing to race down to the next flight. Max responds by opening the door to the floor he's on and yelling "Run Jack, run" through it as the pursuers reach him, which of course causes them to charge through the door, assuming that Jack and Rachel went that way.

Looney Tunes, particularly as a response to the question "Which way did he go, George, which way did he go?"
One particularly noteworthy instance is when the Gremlin does this to a dazed Bugs Bunny — by pointing both hands in opposite directions.
On another occasion, the faces carved on Mount Rushmore provide the trope.
In Porky in Wackyland (and its remake Dough for the Do-Do), Porky Pig meets a native of Wackyland wearing a sandwich board advertising "INFORMATION ABOUT THE DODO". When Porky asks him which way to go to find him, the guys says "Thattaway!" and points in several directions at once.
In Ali Baba Bunny, the question isn't asked directly, but the spirit of the trope is present when Hassan chases Daffy out of the treasure cave as he flees with a giant diamond. Bugs sits in front of a rope raised towards the sky, and tells Hassan "Him go thatthaway". Hassan climbs the rope and when he vanishes up in the clouds, Bugs pulls it down.

In Champions of Far'aus, Daryl says the trope name almost word-for-word when one of Sarengal’s cultists recognizes him as Leilusa’s champion, and asks Daryl if he’s seen " - some Hyperia Pantheon person in a white cowboy hat and long blue coat - " (what Daryl wears), leaving Daryl with nothing to do except tell Blatant Lies.

The cop runs into Forte, and when he asks where did the girl go, Forte points out to a nearby bus just leaving, while the girl was hiding in an alley.

Captain Marvel (2019): Nick Fury approaches Carol Danvers and asks if she had seen a lady in laser tag gear who just blew a hole through the roof of a strip mall Blockbuster. Carol points in a random direction and says she went that way, which doesn't fool Fury since the mall security guard Carol spoke to when she arrived sold her out.

In The Man in the White Suit, Sidney Stratton escapes from a locked room by convincing a little girl to tell the man guarding him that he's already escaped. He was hiding in a wardrobe and got away when the room was checked. The little girl also pointed and told the man "He went that way". Later, when the entire town is chasing Sidney down, he runs past the same girl who then tells the pursuing mob "He went that way", pointing in the opposite direction.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Maugrim and his wolf Secret Police are hunting the Pevensie children. They encounter Mr. Fox who acts like he's hoping to get a reward for the information, but when Maugrim threatens him, he cowers saying "they ran north." The children are actually above them in a tree the entire time, as Fox knows.

A variation in Star Wars: A New Hope. When stormtroopers break into the room where C3PO and R2D2 are hiding, they pretend they're innocent droids who have been locked in there by the rebels. "They're madmen! They're heading for the prison level! If you hurry, you might catch them!" In this case the information is accurate, but something the stormtroopers already know about.

Iznogoud: "The Sinister Liquidator" features a variant in which Iznogoud tries to use the cursed water of a swamp djinn to become Caliph instead of the Caliph; anyone who touches the water disappears into it. Of course, while trying to get the water to the Caliph, more and more people (and a camel) touch or even drink the water, and Iznogoud keeps repeating the name of this trope when people wonder where they went. Finally, the Caliph's goldfish keeper tries putting his charge in the water, and when he wonders where the goldfish went... Actually, both Iznogoud and his henchman say this. While pointing in the opposite directions. Of course, this being Iznogoud, no one notices.

Star Wars Resistance: In "The High Tower", when two stormtroopers enter her room looking for Kaz, Torra tries to do this by pointing to her left and saying the trope name verbatim. It doesn't work since there's no way Kaz could have gotten out of her room past the troopers without them seeing, but they leave since Kaz exited Torra's room by a different route.

Part of Giorno's backstory in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: when he was a child, he found a man bleeding out in a patch of grass. The men who shot him asked Giorno if he'd seen an injured man, and Giorno directed them away from the patch. Additionally, his dormant Stand ability made the grass taller to hide the injured man. The man he saved was a powerful mobster from Naples, who aided and protected Giorno from afar the rest of his childhood, inspiring Giorno to join the Mafia when he grew up.

Subverted in Mission: Impossible III. Ethan Hunt is chasing down the villains, and an elderly Chinese man wordlessly points in the direction they went. However, it turns out he's walked into an unlicensed hospital, and the man just assumed from Ethan's battered appearance that he had come in for treatment. Fortunately, the villains have also gone to the hospital.

In The Girl of the Golden West, the bandito José Castro (though he unconvincingly denies he is one) comes to the Polka and offers to lead the boys to the hideout of his boss Ramerrez, who is already at the Polka using a different name.

You can do this in Venetica after Scarlett blows up one of the Doge's ships. When a guard comes up to her and asks what happened, she can respond with this. They buy it completely.

Black Sails. Silver flees ashore on a launch, and when he reaches the docks asks three different men working there for directions to three different places. When his pursuers get to the harbour and ask after him, the three men point in three different directions.

Doctor Who: In "Revelation of the Daleks", the Doctor rounds a corner and comes face-to-face with two Daleks. Not missing a beat, he says "Ah. There you are. They went that way." and points. It doesn't work.

In Fantasy Life, the player, or rather their more vocal Exposition Fairy, does this to throw paladins off the trail of another character.

In one episode of Josie and the Pussycats, when the gang is Chased by Angry Natives, Alexander dons a mask and points while crying "Um wanna, um wanna, banana!". This initially works as the natives run in his direction until the Chief realizes they were tricked.

According to the intro of Soulcalibur II this is how Raphael first met Amy, which led to him adopting her as his daughter.

Happens in the Mickey Mouse cartoon "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip". As train conductor Pete hunts for Mickey and Pluto, he spots a strange figure wearing Pete's hat and coat — actually, Mickey and Pluto in disguise — and asks if it's seen "a mutt and a little runt around here". Mickey points in a different direction, saying, "They went that way." He is about to say it in his regular high-pitch voice, but then tries to fool Pete by speaking in a deeper voice.

In Baldur's Gate II, while transformed into a drow, you come across a group of drow chasing a slave and are given the option to point them in the right or wrong direction.

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, if you are playing as a Malkavian, you can suggest avoiding werewolves by dressing as one and using this trope.

Done in the bonus OVA for the third season of Full Metal Panic! when Kurtz is running from Clouseau and asks Tessa to help him out in this way. It works but gets averted when he sticks around to explain why he was running in the first place. He replaced a kissing scene from one of Clouseau's anime with footage of two pigs kissing. Clouseau was not pleased.
