I just saw "Live Free or Die Hard". Never minding that the entire film as absolutely nothing to do with living free, it had abundant painfully ridiculous scenes in it. That, and the knowledge that I just wasted $20 and two hours of my life I will never get back, prompted this thread.
The only requirement to this thread is that it be Gun/Bomb/RPG etc related and that it must be so painfully, woefully laughably stupid that one wonders what other two drugs the writers must have been smoking at the time of conception.
1. Bruce Willis, Live Free or Die Hard
- Drives a police car head-on through a hail of supressed .223 rounds fired at him from a hovering helicopter (why use a suppressed gun if you are shooting from a helicopter?). rounds bounce off his windshield and spark off the hood. at the last minute he throws himself from the car with the usual "i'm too old for this sh*t" line that every old-guy action hero says these days. the driverless patrol car continues down the road, hits a concrete pillar, crashes THROUGH the pillar, goes airborne, and slams right into the hovering helicopter filled with incredulously shocked Frenchmen. The helicopter explodes. Bruce gets off the ground holding his arm after having been thrown sideways at 100mph. So does the Frenchman helicopter gunner after falling 50+ yards out of the wreckage of the exploded/crashed flaming helicopter.
2. Jason Stratham, Transporter 2
- Discovers while driving his BMW that he has a bomb underneath his car that will go boom if his speed goes under 60mph. Tries hard to pry it off with left hand while driving without looking at 60mph with right hand. Stymied, he heads into a parking structure next to a metropolis hi-rise construction site. Drives screaming around each inexplicably empty ramp turn until he reaches the rooftop. There, he proceeds to floor it off the roof... into open space... where the car turns 45 degrees.... directly into the dangling hook of a construction crane... that neatly hooks the bomb off of the underside of Jason's car, which proceeds to land back on all four tires and go racing off as the stripped-off bomb explodes dramatically behind him.
there's a lot more, but these are two of the worst offenders.
