This reminded me of an old idea I had.  

You take a serious movie, sort of a tragedy thing.  Let's say...  A mob movie, for instance.  Have everything be REALLY believeable and good, but it is kind of a tragedy sort of thing happening.  Ya know, it is a serious well-done drama.  Now, for the last half hour, have a regular, believable ending.  But ALSO film a totally ridiculous super well-done climactic gunfight where one guy defeats the entire bad guy organization.  

Think if there was an alternate The Godfather ending where Don Corleone single-handedly wipes out the other mobs in revenge.  EVERY movie should have an alternate ending that is completely random like that.

How about Attack! ?  One guy gets his arm run over by a tank (!!!) but still manages to get back.  His lust for revenge is what pulls it through.  When he finally bites, they examine him and can't believe he made it as he is like, out of blood.  That came out in 1956.  Good movie..

There's One-Armed Swordsman movie where a guy gets impaled on a sword, pushes it further threw him to kill the guy behind him, then keeps fighting.

Also, none other than Boromir of LoTR.  The guy take three of the biggest arrows you've ever seen and he still keeps on fighting.

"Attack" was a great war movie.
People have done amazing things before , with damage that seems mind boggeling.
"Attack" had a great cast. Buddy Ebson, Jack Palance, Lee Marvin, and....okey, its azhimers...the guy from "Green acres"....Mr Douglas....yeah, that guy. He played a cowardly officer who's gutlessness gets his men killed. Good actor, realy.

Another good topic. Yes, hit someone in the head with a gunbutt, and you'll knock them unconscious. Yes, permanently. Hit someone in the head with a gunbutt, and you'll probably kill them.
Another favorite of mine, that hasn't been mentioned. Holding a knife to someone's throat. I know why they show it this way in the movies. Even with a dull, prop knife, an accident can happen. But, it is seldom shown correctly. The only time I have seen it done correctly is in the film "Ever After."
And of course the person holding the knife stands behind the victim, but, they stand behind the victim and to one side, so they make themselves a perfect target for a police sniper. They ought to stand directly behind the victim, so to make themselves less of a target.
And, as for J.R.'s comment: "Stereotyped Texan . . . with a gun on their hip." I live in Texas, and that stereotype is so close to the truth it is scary. If it had not been written into the state constitution to prevent the open carrying of a weapon, there are a number of Texans--both men and women--who would openly carry a gun on their hip.
Enjoy!
