See also the street shootout scene in the Michael Mann bank robber film Heat, in which the bank robbers employ this tactic while trying to escape the police. (Arguably the tactical prowess displayed by the bank robbers was unrealistic, since it suggested the characters had a military background that wasn't otherwise hinted at. It's generally a great movie though, Michael Mann at his best.)
