Thread: Things The Movies Have Taught Us

Have you ever noticed that ten minutes before the end of the movie the badguy has been drowned/blownup/fallen from a building/shot, etc (you get my drift) and our handsome hero grabs the beautiful fair maiden who he has spent the whole movie trying to rescue and he is just about to plant a big pasho on her when all of a sudden from left of screen the bad guy suddenly comes back with a new lease of life, bigger and stronger than ever and with one arm hanging off and an eye hanging out of its socket has yet another go at killing our hero.

Regardless of where you are, and what injuries you have suffered, you not only have the time, but also all of the required ingredients to make an explosive device of just the right size, and is guaranteed to explode with just the right magnitude at just the right time to take out the bad guys.

AND

Whenever someone needs to start a fire, they instantly have a Zippo available that they will throw into a pool of petrol, unless they need a time delay, then a cigarette & match book is available.

When ever the hero of the film meets a girl who he usually has her help throughout the movie, at the end they become an item and live happily ever after.

Lethal Weapon 2 taught me to check the toilet for explosives.

Medical staff use the defibrillator to shock when the patient is "flatlining" which is not possible (or good practice).

Explosions that are powerfull enough to send the hero flying through the air will not damage the internal organs or hurl debris at him.

When some poor sod takes a bullet through the head while sitting in a car and the bullet exits with a large amount of splatter on the window but the bullet never brakes the glass.

And my personal favourite, all highschool proms have cheesy bands playing "dont you forget about me"

Whenever the police do a raid on a house and they start doing room by room holding their gun two handed at eye height shouting "Clear".

As soon as the first "Clear"is shouted you know that the house will be empty.

I would never go on a driving holiday with Dennis Weaver

All Vietnam veterans can fly helicopters.

Rambo taught me that RPG 7's are actually incredibally accurate and have no back blast. In fact they can be fired through a helicopter windscreen (which as Jamo stated, all vets can fly) without harming any POW's that are in the back of helicopter.

Also a LMG with a 200 round belt can be fired from the hip single handed without it riding up. And 200 rounds on fully automatic lasts a really long time.

Obviously Rambo is far superior to me, cos when I tried that with the LMG I would have been lucky to keep all the hits in the same hemisphere.
