(892 posts)People shooting multiple times at a person (from not even a large distance), and not one bullet can hit their target. It amazes me.
This seems to happen all the time in westerns. My husband and I watch a lot of TCM, and often they play westerns from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I always say to my husband, They are shooting off 500 rounds at some guy who is running from tree to rock, or rock to tree, or building to horse, or horse to saloon, and you are telling me not one person can manage to even graze this guy or anything?
This happens in science fiction movies, too. Laser guns being fired at close range somehow dont seem to hit anyone at all. Its a miracle!
I realize its just a movie and all, but it always strikes me as being ludicrous. Maybe it doesnt bother anyone else, but it just annoys me
LOL!
