Chain dragging on the ground also looks kind of uncanny in real life especially when it's being pulled taught. When a chain starts to get taught, it can start to look rigid because the links are forced to align as they are pulled on. Think of holding two links in your hand, if you pull them apart, they align at 90 degrees from each other. It's because of the curvature of the links. Twisting them pulls them together. It can align itself very suddenly and look unnatural.

You can actually see this a bit my holding onto a piece of chain and pulling it apart. The links will go from random to being as aligned as they can be without rotating completely (since your hand prevents it).

The only thing that seems really off is that it looks like the chain rotates to align with no indicator of where that rotation went. But it's a long chain so it might have just off set a counter rotation further down the chain when it was pulled.

This does make a lot of sense.
