What with all the excitement over Sunday’s discovery of the chickens’ psychic powers, I completely forgot to upload the regular weekly Great Chicken Scene. But better late than never, as this is the show-stopping chase that opens Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund’s Brazilian film City of God (2002), in which a chicken clearly destined for the pot manages to break free, scurrying along the back streets of a Rio favela with an armed gang in hot pursuit. Subtitles have been deliberately disabled in order to better convey things from the chicken’s point of view.
