I love picking on hollywood movies when it comes to this subject. Some well known examples I can think of would be the classic stupid side angle hold with handguns that you see people using in these african american "Gangsta" type movies. Another one I can think of would be the scene in "First Blood 2" when Rambo was sitting in the cockpit of a helicopter with these rescued POW's sitting directly behind him. A Russian HIND helicopter flys in front of him to try and take him out. Before they get a chance to do it, our hero "Rambo" pulls out this LAW rocket tube with the backblast area directly facing the POW's behind him and shoots the Russian helicopter down. Miraculously the rescued POW's weren't hurt. Amazing.
