After my D and I got the kids, we went to watch Kurt Russel in "Big trouble in Little China".
Late in the movie the bad guys throws a knife at Kurt's head. Kurt catches it and returns it to that guys skull. Kurt said "it's all in the reflexes".
Pulled up to a very dark moonless yard and porch.
My girls were saying hurry up it's cold. As I twisted the keys in one hand they slipped. I blindly grabbed down and caught them. They would have gone between the house and the porch, in the dark and the car was locked. My girls saw and said it was a miracle.
I said no miracle and in my best Kurt, "it's all in the reflexes". They busted a gut laughing. they have a unique sense of humor, for a long while every time I did something they would say, hey Dad it's all in the reflexes. Got old.
One Cagney movie when he had a bad character in the trunk of the 35 or so auto after parking it in the desert.
Bad character; hey i need air.
Cagney; Air, you want air, I'll give you air. Then pumped in a few rounds from a 1911.
No one has yet mentioned Indiana Jones peering into the pit and saying; Snakes why does it always have to be snakes?
I'm not a snake phobia guy, just grew up on a farm that had 200+" bluffs facing south towards the intersection of 2 rivers. Copperheads denned in little caves in the bluffs. Every spring it was sort of like Indy looking in the pit. Watch where you step, don't put your hands in the feed cans or hens nest until you look. I understood his frustration.
