Things I've Learned From Action Films

[Fireball]

All aircraft are made out of highly volatile substances - as they will burst into flames every times they crash - even if the crash is due to running out of fuel.

And cars or trucks that explode when they run off a cliff, well before they reach the bottom...or get a gentle tap on the back bumper, ala "Top Secret".

[Athene]

As a hero working within an organization, at some point in your attempt to take down the antagonist you'll be taken off the case after being accused of being a liability is some or another that's related to the awesomeness that others just don't "get" about you yet. You'll be instructed to take a little time off to go get your mind right.

So you'll have to go rogue.

A rag-tag team of anti-hero types with shady pasts, retirees from the biz, and a reluctant low-level insider who supports your cause but doesn't wish to risk his/her pension will be all you have to work with.

Not just action films-

The male and female leads meet and absolutely despise each other, but by the middle to the end of the movie, there's some horizontal boppin' going on.

Oh --- and all video camera feeds can be " enhanced" good enough to not only spot and identify a villain 100 yards away - you can calculate when he last shaved by the length of his beard stubble.

Don't tell the villain that you've discovered what he's done, that you've got proof, and that you're going to make sure that he goes down for it while standing in his office.
You'll have a remarkably tough time making it out of the building alive.

Tempting as it is to reveal your hand, just play it cool. Say "Hey, man..I'm going to Dunkin' Donuts. You want anything?"

But don't go to Dunkin' Donuts. 
Go to the police or FBI.


If you're actually hungry, hit a DD drive-thru and then proceed to the nearest precinct.

Isn't going to the doughnut place pretty much the same as going to the cops?

So this isn’t supposed to happen in real life?

All those guys I hate have been lying to me!

There'll be PLENTY of donuts at the station.
But they won't share.

All aircraft are made out of highly volatile substances - as they will burst into flames every times they crash - even if the crash is due to running out of fuel.

If you want to blow up a plane after it takes off, all you have to do is to unscrew a fuel cap when its on the ground.  You can then light the trail of trail of leaked fuel on the ground with a zippo and the flame will race all the way up the air into the plane, where upon the plane will instantly blow up.   Bruce willis did it!     


Although the magical incantations of "yippeekayay" or "mother fucker" he intoned during the act could have contributed to his success. 

Most short to medium range commercial flights dump fuel before they land, because they need to carry extra fuel as reserve for emergency, but it is safer to land the plane at lighter weight.    That means terrorists only have wait underneath the approach pattern of a major airport, light a zippo as the plane passes overhead, and the trail of dumped fuel will act light a wick and blow the plane up.

When the cops need to chase the bad guys they will "borrow" your car by flashing a badge , then drag you out of it. They will crash through sidewalk kiosks, storefronts, make pedestrians jump out of their way, go sideways on two wheels,  and finally total your vehicle. All in the name of justice.
