Things I Learned From Movies

[boone052]

Bedsheets are "L" shaped and go up to a woman's neck but only a man's stomach.

Getting punched repeatedly in a 10-minute long fight leaves no bruises or cuts, or if it does, they heal within hours.

Anything can be used as a weapon... ANYTHING.

[Stinky Buffalo]

A person can't truly appreciate their full potential until one or both of their parents are dead.

If you are lippy to your parents you are rewarded with a great adventure, whereafter

1. You get away with all the irresponsible/harmful things you did without them knowing, or
2. Your parents apologize to you

LOL! Remember the days when an ashtray was a common weapon?

Nowadays, when I'm in a battle for my life, I struggle to even find one handy... Fireplace pokers too...

...and absolutely anything that can be sheared off/broken/sharpened is capable of decapitating/eviscerating/impaling another human.

Jackie Chan has a severe swearing malfunction disorder.. it is most obvious after 5+ solid mins into any
fight scenes..Many other movies(Matrix) share this seemingly common disease also.

[CaberTosser]

Steel natural gas lines can easily be torn open with a single pull to create an explosive booby trap for your pursuer.

When one fire sprinkler head near a flame bursts, the rest of them in the building open up too and the water is crystal clear after sitting stagnant in a steel pipe for years.

Vault doors can be blown open without damaging the contents you seek.

Women that need rescuing are always exceedingly attractive, sane, intelligent and single.

You must prepare for quick sand

Anything placed in a microwave becomes extremely explosive, enough so to engulf an entire room in flames after being "cooked" in the microwave for a period of time (just enough time for the hero to leave the room or take cover).

Certain Hollywood actors can hit the same bad guys while holding TWO full auto SAW's one in each hand and change belts with their teeth... and throw HUGE knives with great accuracy ..

Yes, and a thrown knife kills instantly.

- All knives/swords make a "zing" sound when withdrawn from their leather sheath. Well, except mine I guess. My knives never do that no matter how much I try. Must be a "feature" you have to pay for.

- All knives/swords make a swishing sound when waved around in the air. Well, except mine I guess.........

LOL

When fleeing a bloodthirsty villain a woman will always sprain an ankle, after a life and death battle the villain appears dead until she starts crawling away. Why don't they ever finish them off?

[boone052]

All knife kills are instant and silent kills - even a throat cut.

Some of my favorites:

- Being hit by a shotgun throws the person back a few meters

- It is easy to sever a rope/cable with a bullet even in a high stress situation

- Shooting at a propane tank or spilling gasoline makes an instant explosion

- Shooting at a tire will instantly deflate it

- Attacking animals/monsters will stop to pose and roar/screech before they making their move

Horses constantly whinny, especially in action scenes of westerns .

[CaberTosser]

Women wake up dressed in sexy stain/lace underwear after getting shagged rotten by the protagonist and falling asleep in his arms.

Tires still screech on wet roads

Airbags don’t go off in the random civilian cars that the protagonist or antagonist commandeered and used in a smash-up derby type chase.

The hero can parkour like a top level expert, despite never working out and always being awash in martinis.

[wolf308]

Hahahaha. Crashing plane sounding like a Stuka. Lol.

John wick 2 taught me about match savers and one handed press checks - sincere

[daveyn]

horses can run full gallop for hours.
Every house in America is spotless
Every house with a bad guy in it has very few lights
The sun never shines in England (this might actually be true)
All the cowboys and Indians in Arizona were in Monument Valley
Germans die instantly when shot, Americans die slowly and make speeches.

[CaberTosser]

Crawling through ductwork doesn’t involve any screws poking through or itchy fiberglass acoustic lining. The ductwork that carries air is engineered to support the weight of two or more grown men fighting inside of it.

Blueprints of every building are always readily available and it only takes a quick glance to read and reference them

Islands only populated by women have a curious absence of plaid flannel shirts.

[zeek]

well i'm going to wreck everyone's day
Not every time but i would say 99%
check out movies and tv shows...bad guys always use some sort of Beretta 92FS when there going to do something stupid...and the good guys are mainly using sig's, and 1911's

People never turn on lights entering their house until they reach the room with the bad guy sitting in it.

[Big Grey Wolf]

Many of the great westerns were made in Arizona desert. I always wondered how they fed all those horses and cattle, not a single blade of grass within 100 miles of those ranches. However "The Searcher" movie with John Wayne still considered one of best westerns ever filmed.

Director: He shot him, missed, and hit his son.
Producer: Oh no, then what happen?
Director: He knelt on the ground, cradling his son in his arms as he died.
Producer: Oh, so now that he's stationary, in a prone position on the ground, the professional assassin makes a follow up shot and kills him?
Director: Absolutely not, he missed and immediately left the area.
Producer: Why?
Director: Because the movie isn't over.
Producer: Fair enough.

Speaking of sex, I found "Deep Throat" to be very informative

Funny how it's mostly about firearms... Guess where the prancing fool and his acolyte got their factual information for firearms legislation?

If you have an AR-15 all of the bad guys will die - instantly
Short barreled full auto machine pistols have an effective range of 400 yards
A Glock or Sig standard magazine holds at least 500 rounds
A full 500 round magazine (if you need to carry one) doesn't weigh anything.
When you put a firearm in your pocket it doesn't distort the cut of your jacket
If you shove a pistol down the back or front of your pants, you can still run full speed and draw it in an instant at no risk to your ***** or privates
Shooting from a proper stance is only for losers.
Car doors are bullet proof
When the bad guys open up in a public space there are hardly any associated casualties
You can be involved in a high speed roll over or head on collision and get up and walk away with no negative effects
You can get shot, often multiple times and keep on fighting
A gauze pad (and maybe a swig of whiskey or tequila) is really all you need to fix an abdominal through and through

and for those of you who live in rural Alberta the one true thing we've learned from movies in general.
The cops won't show up until the whole event is over, and when they do they will arrest the good guys

Always fire your pistol held sideways the brass won't hit you in the eye like in real life.

Cracked me right up when I read this!

I used to do commercial/industrial HVAC for a living and everytime there's a crawling in the duct scene I tell my wife how in real life they'd be bleeding from multiple screw and "dragons teeth" cuts.

How do they get that duct to stay together and hanging in the air without fasteners!?!?

LOL

This way of firing seemss to be a "never miss" method of handling a handgun. My two-handed technique is obviously outdated and I'm now looking for instructional videos on proper "gangsta" handling of a pistol so I can hit everything I shoot at too.
