Awesome movie/game things that YOU'VE done...

[Lt_Bromhead]

Okay, I'm not sure if this one's been done before (a search didn't reveal anything, but that might just be my foolishness).

Anyway - I'd like to exchange stories about awesome move/game/book/tv/puppet theatre moments that you've recreated in real life (deliberately or undeliberately), be it quotes, actions or...I dunno...special effects? :S

My personal example to get us started;
Earlier this week, my phone was stolen. (sadly, I didn't have any tracking apps on it at the time).
I rang it several times, and deduced that someone else was indeed in posession of it via it's habit of going on and off, and ringing for intermittent lengths of time.
So, I decided to leave the theif a little message, just replace the word "daughter" with "phone"...

(Sorry, no idea how to embed videos on this site!! )

EDIT: Rather ironic the film is called `Taken`, no?

 

[No_Remainders]

I killed a man
I stood up and shouted "I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on my motherfucking plane" in the middle of a party when everyone was really quiet once...

That's about it.

Well...

This one time me and an emo friend went out hunting for the bastard that took his phone and maybe had taken mine a few months prior. We packed scissors, a hammer, light bulbs and a knife in a bag and rode my bike around the neighborhood looking for him. Guess what? We found him. The bag was with the emo guy, and when I was about to say something to the robber, who was getting closer. The emo guy ran off. With the bag. I pedalled away screaming: "F*** >insert emo guy's name here<!" But to this day, I think it's cool that we set off to stop something bad and actually found it. Even if nothing of use was actually done.

Wait... I think I posted this on escapist before...

Vigilantism is a game/movie thing, right?

Seeing as the girl was taken. No.

I've falcon punched someone. And yes a grand display of flame and feathers shot from my wrist as it made contact. SRS.

Can't really tie it to a specific reference for anything, but I once slid 200 yards down the side of a mountain on my ass with a rockslide happening on all sides of me, fell 10 feet into a gully at the bottom, landed pretty much spine-first on the world's pointiest rock, and got up and walked away without anything more than some road rash on my elbows and hands.

Total action-movie bad-assery right there.

knives are illegal and classed as dangerous weapons, in research it is found that knife carriers are more likely to be hurt than their target... don't do knife crime... you'll get banged up...

anyway, i recreated The Matrix Bullet Time on 3 separate occasions in school:

1) one teacher was ill, and our group was too large for just the one guy, because he also had a broken foot... so we went inside and played dodgeball, i went slow-mo and did the matrix without conscious thought, this happened twice, both during separate dodgeball things.

2)Softball, not sure why we didn't do cricket, but we picked up the oversized rounders bat and swung at the oversized and overly soft ball, white with red stitching, but as it came at me, again, without conscious thought, backwards i went, like i was trying to catch it by standing on my hands, over my head ir goes, and straight back up i go, only part of me touching the floor at all was my arm... not sure how i did it...

 

[Angry Birds is the Best]

only when samuel l jackson says it...

 

[AlAaraaf74]

I got into a teen movie situation:

In my gym class, a girl I had a crush on was talking about how hot this one douchebag was, so I challenged him to a 1 on 1 and beat him (which surprised me, cuz I don't play basketball)

In the end, I got the girl. Okay, not really, she just ignored the game.

You obviously don't live in brazil hehehe. The police wouldn't do anything about it, we'd already complained various times. It was always the same guy. Let's just say that, as long as we didn't kill him, the police would be on our side for doing their jobs. Yeah, that does kinda suck.

we have to put up with split groups and sexism... we HAVE to do Football(the game where you kick the ball with your foot and onlt the Goalie is allowed to use his hands... and profeesionals have ridiculous wages, like £3million a year, easily...), ang the girls HAVE to do netball, even though i could name 1 easily who is better at football than me, i suppose it's to stop us getting distracted... i know who i am constantly distraced by in my history group, and the teacher always stand soooo near her, tempting my eyes to wander....................

sorry for going off on a tangent there by the way

 

[varulfic]

I usually exit cars in slow motion, slamming the door behind me without looking back while dramatically putting on my shades.

Ah, I meant that I'd used it when my phone was taken.... :/

Yes. You win 50 Man points.

No problem. I went to a British school.
Hated most of it. Sod football, I wanted to play tiddlywinks!

Was crossing the street one day when suddenly a car came around the corner speeding with me on the middle of the road I for some reason decided that jumping on the car was the best way to go(jumping left and right would have worked 2) and when the car hit the brakes trusting my feet back because of the force I managed to land on my hands on his rooftop and flip over (I do Parkour in my free time)

Most EPIC moment of my live

either I have a guardian angel or I am just dam lucky
