Another early film from Alice Guy to follow the pattern of a chase comedy, "An Obstacle Course" demonstrates a decent continuity across six exterior shots in some five minutes time. In this one, a chase is made out of an obstacle-course race and includes the usual knockabout humor of the day. These early chase films were important in the development of continuity editing and, thus, overcoming an obstacle in the transition to narrative cinema. There's nothing special about this example of what was already by 1906 a common genre--having been initiated by such films as "Personal" (1904) only a couple years prior. Like another 1906 film from Guy, however, that reworks the chase formula, "Une Histoire Roulante," this one, too, features people in barrels, some of whom are pushed and rolled along.
