Things you would never know if it were not for the action movies

I was looking around the other day on-line and came across a few things that you would not find unless you watched and action movie. I went through and copied a few of the ones that I liked the most. There were many things that I did not notice but were true. If I forgot something send post a comment.

It doesn’t matter if you are greatly outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts. Your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one… dancing around in a threatening manner until you have dispatched their predecessors (I loved this one!!!)

Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don’t worry about which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one (I could not resist to add the next one). Also they are all fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies using complex machinery involving fused, deadly gasses, laser, buzz saws and hungry sharks, all of which will give their captives at least 20 minutes to escape. Also the bad guy will always tell the good guy every detail about his masterplan instead of just shooting him.

You’re very likely to survive any battle in a war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

It is easy to land a plane, provided that there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

As long as you are in an action movie you need not worry about running out of bullets because it almost never happens. Even if it does happen there is always another loaded weapon lying around within arms distance. Also guns are like disposable razors - if you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. You can always buy a new one.

A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty. Also action heroes never face charges for manslaughter or criminal damage despite laying entire cities to waste.

It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.

An electric fence powerful enough to kill a large dinosaur will cause no lasting damage to an eight-year-old child (name that movie).

Cars and trucks that crash will almost always burst into flames.


The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty. And the biggest miracle is that they are always clean.

It's very easy to fool the security guards at highly top secret government institutions.

Did you think of any others?
