i can understand the hero being able to beat up loads of bad guys but why can his wench suddenly have the ability to beat loads of grown men up.

Screw you Vietnam war movies
This is a source of amazement to me. You'd think that any country that had ignominiously been seen off by a few raggedy commies would have the humility to let the sad episode fade from their national conciousness.
Yet what do they do? Every other offering from Hollywood involves some mumbling pneumatic torso'd wanker spraying a machine gun around like a gardener watering pansies, whilst ensuring he never forgets to wrap a filthy sweaty rag around his napper.
Or, some other half crazed shell shocked psycho having 'flashbacks' and annihilating half of Los Angeles because of the trauma he experienced in 'Naaam.'
Maybe it's because they've always been late to show up at any worthwhile scrap that they like to believe they saw one through from the beginning, and conveniently omit the unedifying scramble for the helicopters when Charlie was biting their arses.
Not a rant at Americans, this, just the film industry there.

In American movies when lets say someone is being chased or being hunted and the police or CIA or whatever agency are on the street or in a building they say ( and you will see this a million times)
He's heading to the north side
Or
He's gone to the west of the building
It's absolute bollocks. I mean from who's perspective ? Do they have a fucking compass how do they know what fucking direction is it ?
I'd be saying
" what the fuck. Where's south? Is it my south or your south? How do you know which way I'm looking ?
Hollywood "agent " talk bollocks
Rant over
Most US towns are laid out in a grid system and therefore it's absolutely natural the refer to compass headings. They had the luxury of not having to grow ancient settlements so could apply some logic.
As for everything else in this thread, it's the fucking movies!!

The 'heavy breathing' school of acting twats. Over the last 15 or so years it appears that the only thing you need to be able to do is breadth heavy and you're in. Sean Bean is by far and away the worst for it - always sounds like he's just been for a run.
