Absolutly Hillarious if u have seen it like 100 times like most people have by now.

note all material is from a different website and not written by me.

1) Porsches can "heal" themselves after repeatedly crashing into a Fiat and rolling onto their sides.

2) Two people can crash into a pole at 50 mph, wearing no seatbelts, and walk away.

3) Uzi's do not run out of ammunition until everyone is dead.

4) Being electrocuted will give you superhuman strength.

5) The best place to lock up a hostage is in a large roomwith balsa wood covering the window openings, with no guards outside the window.

6) The only way to break through balsa wood is with a disassembled doorknob.

7) Cheap airplanes are started by punching the control panel and saying "Fly or DIE!"

8) The best way to discreetly tell someone that people may be out to get him is by flying a military helicopter through the rolling mountains of Southern California to meet him.

9) Three men in a van can easily survive an explosion caused by a rocket being shot into the van's gas tank.

10) You can't just unbutton someone's shirt. You have to rip it open, and hold it open while talking to them.

11) A man's center of gravity does not change when picking up another man and holding him at arm's length.

12) Surplus stores have enough equipment to blow up an entire compound.

13) The only way to break into a surplus store is by driving your handy bulldozer through the front of it, for everyone to see.

14) However, no one will see what happened in (13).

15) A Ford Bronco with no brakes can still brake.

16) A Ford Bronco will explode three times upon rollover.

17) Tranquilizer darts are instantaneously effective.

18) One can walk about an airplane during takeoff if he claims that he is airsick.

19) Old Fiats are as fast as new Porsches.

20) Explosives set on the outside of a building will cause the building to explode from the inside.

21) Upon being scalped by circular saw blade, one becomes instantly pale.

22) Really good hair gel will not wash out, period.

23) Shopping malls have about 100 inept security guards apiece.

24) The best place to secretly exchange false documents for a briefcase-full of money is in a very public bar in a very public shopping mall.

25) Upon being blown up by a hand grenade, one does an acrobatic somersault.

26) Upon being shot, one acts like a cartoon character tripping backwards over a step.

27) Hedge deflects bullets.

28) If your daughter is being held hostage on an island, you should blow up every building on that island except one, because chances are she'll be in that one.

29) People commonly use stairs to get onto large commercial jetliners at Los Angeles International Airport, not jetways.

30) If a large truck comes barreling down a mountain toward you while you are driving, you should not brake. Instead, you should just say, "he's gonna hit us!" and keep driving at the same speed.

31) When the "good guy" is firing his weapon his accuracy increases as the difficulty of the shot increases.

Made me giggle alot while reading it :D

And I am sure I was being very clear in my statement.

The thread was missplaced from the start by being in the General discussions forum. And bumping old threads in the more "serious" sections causes confusion as to what is new and what is not. Add that to the fact that the database isn't getting any smaller and bumping old rubbish isn't helping.

I did however move this over to the Crazy section where you can bump your little hearts out. It's cluttered beyond all salvation as it is anyways.

AWESOME FILM....


Two points you missed out which also seemed pretty unrealistic....


1. Arnie....an ex-commando at the beginning of the film...is living in an isolated place on a mountain - General visits by Helicopter - General gets shot....arnie says straight away Quote:
I must get my machine gun from the back of the shed!!!!
I mean wtf!?!@@ LOL!! Funny but stupid...LOVED that part the first time i saw the film....(i bought it on dvd...worth it for the laughs alone).

2. HE'S INDESTRUCTABLE!!!!!!!! LOOL...when he is in the shopping center - using the girl to lure the bad guy to him...she tells police - Matrix runs after bad guy whilst fighting off about 10 officers with guns LOL...also...those guards at one point pile on top of him and casually...Matrix just RAWR!!!!!!!'s them off and they go flying...blah LOL


:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:


Hilarious find...those points u made Monteeeeeeeeeee made me chuckle...


- Dave. :alliance:

EDIT: Aaaah...i see you mentioned it Quote:
23) Shopping malls have about 100 inept security guards apiece.
....well...pretty much eh?

I saw this movie was on in the TV guide for last night. It took me a while to remember it from just the title so i read the bit underneath, thought "O GOD NOT AGAIN!!!" and turned to BBC 1 instead... But gd1 on the learning! ;) It's all so true - movie magic is a wonderful thing

"Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?"
"That's right, Matrix. You did."
"I lied."
[Matrix drops Sully off the cliff]


"What happened to Sully?"
"I let him go."



[Matrix has thrown a pipe through Bennett]
"Let off some steam, Bennett."



"Leave anything for us?"
"Just bodies."



"You steal my car, you rip the seat out, you kidnap me, you ask me to help you find your daughter which I very kindly do, and then you get me involved in a shoot out where people are dying and there's blood spurting all over the place, and then I watch you rip a phone booth out of a wall, swing from the ceiling like Tarzan, and then there's a cop that's going to shoot you and I save you and they start chasing me. Are you going to tell me what's going on or what?"
"No."



"Mellow out man. Your daughter is safe, Colonel. Now whether she stays that way is up to you. My people, they got some business with you. And if you want your kid back, then you gotta co-operate, right?"
"Wrong!"
[shoots Diaz between the eyes]



This movie has some of the best/worst one-liners in all of cinima history.
