?&I¼tion movies, the inevitable long shootout/stalking scene inside a dark factory or warehouse, dripping water or steam optional. I believe "Terminator" started this.

How about the obligatory scene of the heroes outrunning a fireball from an explosion? Fireballs move at somewhere around 300 mph in real life, so these guys should all be in the Olympics.

I have no objection to spectacular stunts, as long as they bear some relationship to reality. That's why Jackie Chan is so much fun. You know his stunts are real.

Jackie Chan movies are fun because he's having so much fun making them. It's infectuous.
