Somewhere In The Ether…

We’ve all seen them….in virtually every bloody action film going!

The hero is seemingly contractually obliged to be shot or stabbed….but only in the shoulder.

Ammo is seemingly infinite in any given firearm….unless the hero decides to check their magazine whereupon they will be instantly dismayed to find that there is suddenly, only one bullet left(!)

Cars explode for any given reason (even if shot in the tyres!!!)

List more good folks

The hero feels little pain from his wounds until a pretty nurse looks at em.

I found it funny the first time watching Die Hard where Bruce Willis first got into the cab and talked about how he and his wife split up because of his work or something like that.

Like jeez, I wonder how this film is going to end...

Market Harborough / Kettering

Every time someone is running away from a chasing car they run straight down the road, do they think they are going to out run it? Just turn hard left or right as cars cant change direction as quick as a human !! Dum !!

Heroes can run through literal hails of bullets and yet every single one misses.

So, you’ve been lucky enough to be cast playing opposite Jean Claude Van Damme in a film?

You’re playing either his brother or his best friend?

You’re dead. End of

All heroes in action films can throw a knife with pinpoint accuracy a good fifty yards away and take out any enemy sentry or bad guy despite no prior training.

You can create a huge fiery explosion by flicking a cigarette into a pool of fuel. It's ok though, because apparently people can outrun explosions, throw themselves on the floor and not get hurt at all.

Oh, and even the most intense shootout won't damage anyone's hearing, a machine gun can fire a millimetre away from your ear and you'll still have perfect hearing.

All seems completely legit.

Every action film requires a final climatic hand to hand fight scene between the hero and his nemesis.

It is customary and apparently accepted etiquette during such scenes for the hero to get their arse kicked for the first three quarters of this before suddenly remembering how to fight and turning the tables.

Bonus points if he loses his weapon and/or someone steps on his hand when he's ALMOST in reach of it.

Heroes are invariably socially inept, drink whiskey alone by the bucketload and are as moody as hell.

They frequently live hermetic lives and can usually only be tempted into action when it is revealed to them that their former commanding officer/former comrade/family member has been taken by the enemy.

It is customary at some point for the hero to remove his shirt revealing the fact that he has applied baby lotion liberally all over himself.

Remember: Shirtless heroes get an immediate adrenaline boost and can aim better, fight better and generally glisten better

Bad guys in action films are generally noted, British Shakespearean actors.

The intelligence agencies really need to shut down The Royal Shakespearean Company - it’s clearly a terrorist breeding ground.

Oh yes! The villain MUST stand upon and grind upon the heroes hand (whilst smiling heinously)

When ever someone says "don't worry, I've got this" they really really haven't.

They might as well put on a red shirt and join the away mission....
