1000 Things I've learned from watching action movies

[Carlwashere]

46. The hero always has a way to get down safely after running in and killing everyone in said bad guy meeting place.
47. Jurisdiction laws have no effect. Expect to be in Germany right after fighting very violently in the USA.
48. The hordes of dead bad guy bodies disappear without anyone noticing.

[Stelio Kontos]

49. If you're in Paris, no matter what window you look out of, you can always see the Eiffel Tower.

[SenkoTwiik]

(haha, so true)

50. If you have a teenage daughter, she WILL be kidnapped or used as a hostage at least once.

51. The fictional president's daughter is always 16 and pretty.

51: CIA and similar organisations always has top modern equipment with brilliant 3D graphics, and apparently has cameras everywhere - even around the bad guys' place.

52: Even after taking several bullets, being almost blown up several times, getting beaten up and tortured by the bad guys, and afterwards running several miles, the hero always survives.

53: Your best friend is more likely than not a double-agent.

54: The hero's girlfriend usually is a blonde. If not, then he always falls in love with the blonde/black haired bad girl.

55: The bad guy always has big plans for killing the hero, which always gives him/her time to escape.

56: If the handsome hero needs help, there's always a nerdy friend there to help him, who has every gadget the hero needs, and who also knows how to hack the government computer system.

57: The hero always knows how to desarm a bomb. If it happens to be a complex nuclear weapon or something like that, there's always a user manual or said nerdy friend there to help him.

58: The hero and bad guys always find an abandoned huge building where they can shoot at each other without getting disturbed.

59. Stray bullets do not exist. Except for the bad guys, everyone else will be fine after a high speed car chase through the city with fully automatic fire.
60. The bad guy's bullets will always go slower than the hero's. The bad guys can fire and the hero can jump, into the line of fire, shoot his gun, and his bullets will always hit the bad guys before the bad guy's bullets narrowly miss the hero.
61. Being 20 years out the secret agency doesn't stop you from being able to remember everything and still pull it off perfectly. Namely self defense techniques and helpful little details from 20 years ago.

  I love it!

61.  CIA agents can be only 24 years old yet surprisingly still have years of experience and be top ranked.  

62.  A washed up, out of shape, computer illiterate, old retired secret service agent will outsmart a heathy tech-saavy agent any day.

63.  If you can't catch a serial killer hire Morgan Freeman .

64.  You can get shot 22 times, fall down a flight of stairs and into a frozen lake, but if you're trying to save a child you'll have one last adrenaline burst that will allow you to beat the bad guy.

[Carlwashere]

I'm really happy you do! Awesome idea!

65. The hero has a 100% chance of being male.
66. His partners in the organization, though, have a 97% change of being female and attractive.

[SenkoTwiik]

67. If the hero happens to not be male (not likely), it's got to be a group of no more than 4 females, all under 30.

68. Scientists can have 12+ year degrees, and still be pretty and under 25.

[DaSpecial1]

69. Just cause a guy is a professional assassin doesn't mean he's not an old softy.

70. Good guy assassin-ethics: No women (unless they're other assassins), no kids.

[SenkoTwiik]

71. Anyone that smokes always lights up their cigarette and takes no more than 2 puffs before ashing it out.

[Carlwashere]

72. The hero never has to reload in an unsafe place. He seems to have enough ammo between covers.
73. The hero also always has full mags ready to go. Even in a tux. That has barely any pockets.
74. The bad guys always seem to have to reload in the open.
75. The bad guys also need to check their sights. Being six feet off from a range of 5 feet is pretty bad.

[DaSpecial1]

76. Bombs always have color-coded wires.

77. The good guy will always pick the right wire to cut at the last possible second.

[SenkoTwiik]

78. Every sleezy hooker on the planet somehow has at least a little bit of fight-training.

79. The sleeziest-looking hooker always has a heart of gold and is always just working for a bad man to keep her little boy/girl safe.

80. EVERYONE drinks!

[Carlwashere]

81. EVERYONE smokes!
82. all prostitutes double as psychologists. Providing the main character a free therapy session.

[SenkoTwiik]

83. Prostitutes don't charge you extra time to hear about your problems, even though hers are a billion times worse.

84. The bad guy is always your best friend, or someone you've only met once.
