STREET PHILOSOPHY #4a: Unofficial Rules For Fantastical Combat:
Here's the second half of the list:
-Guys with axes always get less screentime than everyone else.
-Gun safeties are only there to hinder good guys who don't know any better.
-Bad guys use whips to lacerate people.
-Good guys use whips for crowd control / disarmament.
-Handguns are more accurate if you're diving through the air, sliding across the ground, or hanging from a line of some sort.
-Big, strong bad guys are inherently Russian.
-Good guys aren't allowed to bludgeon people to death.
-Cocky good guys always get beaten/paralyzed/killed.
-Any self-respecting primary hero will know how to scream "NOOOOOOO!!!" very well.
-For some reason, full-arm chokes from behind never work as well as they should.
-Throwing knives only kill people if they are thrown, caught, and then immediately thrown back at the first person.
-Flying only works if you're Chinese.
-Shouting your technique only works if you're Japanese.
-In the first big, long fight between rivals, the bad guy always wins.
-Latin lyrics always make fighting music that much better.
-Bad guys who say something witty before giving the death blow are destined to die within the next 5 seconds (especially if it's some form of goodbye).
This particular philosophical venture wasn't all too thought-provoking. But, I figured it was as good a way to classify things as anything. Okay, I'm done now. Ja ne, minna.
