this list we’ll be looking at the
ill-advised choices made by characters
in action films that resulted in
number ten opening a box that says do
not open Conair
there are several boneheaded blunders in
this prison plane heist flick but one of
the most idiotic occurs when US Marshal
Vince Larkin goes to investigate the
former cell of the breakout takeovers
mastermind Cyrus the virus Grissom car
meet cars meet cars meet car
Cyrus left behind several documents and
clues to help Larkin discover his plans
when he gets a lead he departs to share
what he knows with the other authorities
telling the guards not to touch anything
stay here don’t touch anything of course
one of them opens a box Cyrus is left
marked do not open which as it happens
contains an explosive killing the guards
in the room and nearly kills Larkin some
number nine special ops not wearing
parachutes to board a hijacked plane
executive decision an executive decision
a plane carrying a senator as hijacked
by terrorists it’s up to the group of
commandos to infiltrate the plight by
connecting the hijacked plane to their
own while boarding the plane it suddenly
pulls up threatening to tear the
boarding sleep apart one member of the
party sacrifices himself to shut the
hatch and save the others after which he
sucked out if they’d been wearing
you would think that people is highly
trained as a u.s. army special
operations unit would be immune to
careless mistakes but sadly there’s
still subject to the whims and missteps
of filmmakers number eight bullying
Hancock Hancock don’t move your head of
his ass
provoking an unhinged superhero is just
asking for trouble despite his
reputation many characters push
Hancock’s buttons throughout the film
with predictable results most idiotic
however a Chrisman Hancock has
voluntarily gone to prison to atone for
his mistakes while inside he’s provoked
by multiple inmates and despite warning
them to stop they persist Hancock then
delivers an oft hyperbolic threat by
literally putting one of their heads up
the other’s backside talk about sticking
it where the Sun doesn’t shine we’re not
sure which one is less enviable but
either way we’re sure they regretted
this for the rest of their lives
number seven using a nuclear weapon on a
shielded alien ship
Independence Day their whole
civilization in one of cinema’s most
memorable alien invasions Independence
Day sees the massive shifts of the
extra-terrestrial attackers decimating
cities and buildings with unmatched
firepower faced with such desperation
it’s hardly surprising when president
Whitmore declares the strategy for
dealing with a threat posed by the
aliens no Connie
however a nuclear missile fired at a
ship above Houston Texas proves
ineffective against the energy shields
of the spaceship and only serves to
damage the surrounding city granted
Whitmore and the other government
officials went into it knowing
collateral damage would be likely but
I repeat target remains number 6
tormenting John Rambo first blood all
right you’re under arrest
behave me – put your hands on the car
John Rambo walks into a small town
looking for a diner but his promptly run
out of town by the sheriff when Rambo
returns the sheriff and the rest of his
department abused their positions and
torment the damaged War vet causing him
to snap and escape proceeding to wage a
one-man war on the police although he
gives them every chance to walk away the
police would have been better off if
they had listened and obeyed the law
themselves because he gave them a war
that they couldn’t believe they should
have let it go
don’t push it don’t push it I’ll give
you a war you’ll believe number 5
sending Navy SEALs to an obvious ambush
point the rock we got visitors when a
rogue group of US Marines takes over
Alcatraz and threatens San Francisco
with deadly nerve gas a team of Navy
SEALs is sent in to stop them
unfortunately the seals choose to enter
the former prison in a shower room which
alerts the rogue Marines to their
the room is surrounded by high catwalks
on several sides giving the domestic
terrorists a distinct advantage a tense
standoff ensues and the seals refused to
back down resulting in their massacre if
you’re going to choose an entry point
maybe don’t choose one that leaves you
number four taking Bryan Mills daughter
and not heeding his warning taken Bryan
Mills daughter is kidnapped by a gang of
sex traffickers while she’s vacationing
in Paris during her capture
Bryan is on the phone with her and one
of her kidnappers picks up the phone
prompting Bryan to deliver an amazingly
badass speech in which he offers them
mercy if they release his daughter and
promising death if they do not I will
find you
and I will kill you unaware of his
background in the CIA they naturally do
not heed his warning Brian then proceeds
to tear through half of Paris in his
target and rampaging rescue and
ultimately delivers on his promise
we’ve got ninja number three not keeping
a comatose terrorist under guard face
this wacky sci-fi action movie sees FBI
agent Sean Archer undergo a procedure to
switch faces with the maniacal terrorist
castor Troy to learn the location of a
bomb set up by Troy’s brother when
castor falls into a coma
however the faceless terrorist wakes up
and manages to threaten the doctor who
performed the procedure to give him
archers face leading to plenty of
scenery-chewing action-packed mayhem yet
that the FBI had the decency to put even
a single guard on the comatose terrorist
none of this would have happened
granted the 90s were a more trusting
time but come on what do you want
