Hi Kaleb,
Couldn't agree more!  Everytime I see someone outrun an explosive blast I 
laugh out loud.  *Someone* who is directing those scenes has not concept of 
how a explosion really acts. The shock forces move at a rate measured in 
thousands of feet per *second* - yet we see people run down hallways, jump 
over barriers and down into holes as they seek to escape the on-rushing 
shock of explosive gases and flames!

Then there's things like people hiding behind sheetrock walls and car doors 
as protection from gun fire always get me laughing. <LOL>

It's up there with TV Wrestling - and although all the martial experts are 
often fun to watch, there's little attachment to reality there either.

There's a program on Discoverychannel called Myth Busters that take on all 
kinds of beliefs that are sometimes commonly accepted even though they have 
zero chance of working.  Sometimes they work, often not.

Things like a guy falling from a high building and grabbing a 4x8 sheet of 
plywood then using it to "fly" down to safety.

Couldn't be reproduced so they concluded it was a myth.  Hopefuly they'll 
look at someof the ridiculous things the movies try to put over on us.
