The one in Starship Troopers. She has her chest impaled with a six foot long barbed spike and is walking perfectly fine ten minutes later.
Do you mean the redhead or the brunette (can't remember their names)?Toaster Hunter said:The one in Starship Troopers. She has her chest impaled with a six foot long barbed spike and is walking perfectly fine ten minutes later.
Wow, thanks for spoiling The Untouchables for me.Casual Shinji said:So, I was watching The Untouchables yesterday and I got to the scene where Sean Connery gets gunned down in his house by some gangster with a Thompson. But eventhough the old Scotsman has an entire machine gun clip emptied into him, Connery still manages to crawl a good 25 feet through his hallway before dying.
Most people would die right on the spot from the trauma caused by 3 or 4 shots, but Connery just soaks them up and keeps on ticking. I know this is Sean Connery we're talking about, but still, every normal human being has his or her physical limits.
What other movies show characters survive complete medical impossibilities?
maybe he set his blaster to stun...No-Superman10 said:In Preadator a man (Redshirt) gets shot in the chest with the plasma caster, the result? His chest is asplod and you can see his heart. Arnold Shwarzanegger (sp?) get shot in the shoulder and it results in a little bit of red.
Wait what?
you can still live through that...Jedoro said:When Michelle Rodriguez' character gets shot in the eye, but the bullet doesn't go through her eye and kill her.
Much more epic in the books,Might want to put a big spoiler warning up there
OT: Why, Boromir of course, in one of the best death scenes of cinema history.
The one at the end, brunette I think. It was right at the end. She gets impaled, the spike is removed leaving a huge cavity in her chest, gets rescued and walks triumphantly out of the tunnel all within ten minutes, with no medical aid administered.Casual Shinji said:Do you mean the redhead or the brunette (can't remember their names)?Toaster Hunter said:The one in Starship Troopers.

I did find it odd that the later had no problem moving her arm after her shoulder was severely punctured by a rather large insect.
Like she did when she was having sex with the man character. She was faking it.

And there's also that woman from Fatal Attraction.
How the heck did she suddenly get up from the bathtub after being supposedly suffocated by the protagonist? I mean, her eyes were shown unblinking and not a bubble came from her.
Bullet wounds actually don't hurt much at all. The only reason I even felt mine was because it was an accident, so I had basically no adrenalin in my system. In a firefight, I can easily see not feeling it, and continuing on; you would notice decreased mobility in whatever got hit, and you would get lightheaded as you bleed (which hampers comprehension of the whole situation) but pain would be minimal unless it hit a bone or something. The reason is pretty simple; a lot of skin nerves fire when exposed to air, but bullets cauterize the flesh as they pass through; not deeply enough to stop bleeding, but it destroys most of the surface nerves. A bone hit, though, would transmit damage further away from the bullet wound, where healthy nerves can report damage.Monkfish Acc. said:Uh. I think I read somewhere that being shot is actually pretty easy to ignore.
A lot of police officers bleed out after firefights because they got shot and kept going, thinking they were fine.
I mean, it probably hurts like a *****, but it doesn't have that oomph that arrows have. Get hit by an arrow, and that shit will knock you down.
I cannot really remember how it works but TvTropes assures me that is how things go.
You are probably going off of actual knowledge and research, though, so just ignore me.
On topic, it always bugs me when movies and stuff completely ignore ontological inertia. The Matrix Reloaded was a pretty egregarious example.
Trinity's organs would still be falling, okay. They have become seperate entities to her body. They are divorced. They are in a legal battle for their possesions because they never signed a prenupt.
This is why you do not grab people while flying fast enough to create a sonic boom that shatters windows, Neo.
Theres really nothing could beat this. If someone finds it, I will eat my hat.MrShowerHead said:Commando.
What part of it? The whole movie.
