Prisoner Transfers in Movies Never Go Well

Someone should have realized this by now.

[Oh, Gee!!]

They should do them off-camera

Of course, else why show it instead of just implying it?

But it's one of the most obvious outcomes of any common theme in cinema. Maybe it's used too often. It's right up there with the boogie man who jumps out right after the "oh it was just a rabbit, cat, bird, whatever..."

What would be the point of showing a transfer that went smoothly? The reason they show it is because something went wrong.

Do you bitch about war movies when they show all of the people getting killed? I mean it happens in like every damn one of them.

Also, dinosaurs end up breaking loose and wreaking havoc in Jurassic Park movies. What's your point? In order to have a movie, these things have to happen.

In the first Austin Powers movie, they clearly had a chance to end the movie less than 10 minutes in by shooting Dr. Evil but let him call his cat into his cryogenic Big Boy tube and let him close the door before finally starting to shoot after 15-20 seconds of opportunity (he was cornered). Then, they even parodied bad guys in movies when Dr. Evil created an easy trap for AP and Elizabeth Hurley to escape and he acknowledged it.

These things have to happen or there is no movie.

It's just impossible to get a prisoner to point B. It's like it's ordained to go wrong. You cannot even fly the fuckers there.

US Marshals is your reference, no?

I like the one where the good guy is getting shot at while running, and bad guy has horrible aim, missing all over the place. Yet as soon as good guy runs behind a wall, pop pop pop, with surgical accuracy the bullets hit the wall right where his head would've been.

How about the one where they're fighting and the bad guy has the good guy on his back and is on top of him about to kill him. But there is a rock or other heavy object just within his reach. Good guy stretches out, grabs rock, and clubs bad guy in side of the head.

What about the characters talking to each other the entire movie, then of course, one of them was dead the entire time?

Con Air, etc...

Every movie I've seen where there's a prisoner transfer they get attacked. Never fails. I don't mean movies that are based on escaped prisoners like Con Air or US Marshals.

Bad guys have zero aim in movies, sometimes even at point blank range. And when they actually have aim, either the gun jams, it's out of bullets or, as with the movie Dumb & Dumber, someone is wearing a bulletproof vest or the police barge in.
