Far-fetched scenes

Last night, Sheldon and I went on a double-date with the de Souza's. We went to the Mayfair theatre to watch The Bourne Ultimatum and Live Free or Die Hard. There were some far-fetched scenes that were so amusing I thought I'd share them with you.

In one scene, Bruce Willis jumps out of a car moving over 100km an hour and not breaking any bones or even getting skid burns on his skin. The car proceeds to drive up a toll booth on its own in order to crash into and destroy the bad guy's helicopter hovering around the entrance to the tunnel.

Or a scene with an anorexic-thin Asian bad girl who is hanging onto the front of a moving truck that smashes her against a wall, yet she lives to continue fighting Bruce Willis.

In The Bourne Ultimatum, there is a car chase scene that involves Bourne's car being smashed around continuously and flips over multiple times, yet he walks away with a small limp. The bad guy however is seriously injured with blood pouring out of is head wounds. He's slumped over the steering wheel as Bourne runs over to point a gun in his face.

Yeah, we all had a good laugh over those too.

Did you not know Jason Bourne is invicible?! Goes right along with the being incredibly attractive gene! hehe

I've noticed a growing trend for fantastical action scenes. I think they started in cheap movies and the kids are eating them up. Now it is hard to find an action movie that is somewhat believable. You laughed at it but I spit at it. pptttwwwwaaahh!
