Unbelievable Moments In Film

[-SharonA-]

I have just finished watching Jack Ryan Season 4. In one scene, Jack is captured by the baddies and tortured. One of his torture was boiling water poured over his bare back. Jack is then rescued and you next see him limping out of the building, fully dressed. Surely those clothes on his back must have been rubbing his burnt, blistered back??!! Next thing you know, he is back hunting down and shooting more baddies with out a wince, whimper or hospitalisation.

What a guy!!

In this John Wick 2 segment, he and another are shooting at each other (guns fitted with silencers) in a crowded subway, with those around them unaware of the duel.

And here is the reality of the sound of a firearm.

Un-silenced, the sound can be around 160dB (very, very loud), and with a silencer around 120dB (very loud).

Not an unbelievable moment but a personal one for me.  

0:51 - the tall, dark-haired man in standing in front of the drums was my great grandfather.  He passed in 1965 so I never got to know him.  My mother remember him with fondness.  He was a fantastic Musician who could play any instrument but he was, first and foremost, a Timpanist.  He played for the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.  His wife was a Pianist.

Jack Bauer from '24' was amazing!  In addition to all the other trials and tribulations he suffered throughout the series, held and tortured by the Chinese and eventually released battered, bruised and thoroughly exhausted, a couple of hours later he saved the world.... again.  What a guy!

 

Loved that series though - and Kiefer Sutherland.  

 

And how do actors not crash when they take their eyes off the road for several seconds at a time to chat to their passenger?
