I just finished watching "Live Free or Die Hard"...I've seen it before, but I still crack up at the scene toward the end with Bruce Willis jumping off the turnpike bridge onto a FLYING JET, sliding down the jet and landing without a scratch.
Just got me thinking - any other ridiculous scenes you remember, that just made you say, "come on! I know it's Hollywood but that's STILL ridiculous!".

Denise Richards playing a nuclear physicist in Tomorrow Never Dies. That's just insulting.
This was always my favorite part of the Die Hard series. Bruce Willis's character always did this over-blown action shit, but by the end of the movie he was always limping around and looked like he had just had the day he had. Yes, the action is over the top, but Bruce never walks away unscathed.

We watched "Man on Fire" yesterday again....and there is this famous scene with the guy in the car. (Where he cuts his fingers etc..) **WATCH THAT MOVIE...AWESOME**
Anyway...a little later he shoots him, bad guy is still tied to steering wheel. He starts the car with the dead guy in it, cars falls down cliff and EXPLODES in a huge fire ball. (Here i always ask..why the fvck are cars EXPLODING upon impact?)
But...a few scenes later you can see a tow truck where they tow that crashed car away from the scene.
(I did not look closely and was too lazy to play back that scene.)
But i could've sworn they had the car on the truck WHILE IT WAS STILL BURNING and flames shooting out the window.

Otherwise i agree, the plot in ID4 with the virus "uploaded" to the UFO...lol...
Well, they tried to make this movie somewhat unbelievable, just for the fun of it.......but do you remember a movie by the name of True Lies??
Same deal, only terrorist jumps onto a moving Harrier, and can not only keep his balance while it's moving, but successfully negotiates his way from the tail to the cockpit, before being flipped off the wing, only to find himself hanging on a heat seeking missile......which AHnold then uses to shoot down the helicopter full of terrorists.
Yeah, no disbelief there!!
Blues Brothers when the car full of Illinois Nazis runs off the end of the overpass and falls for 30 seconds.
I think they had to film it in a warmer climate than Chicago because they don't build overpasses like that up there due to freezing. Not to mention it fell for 30 seconds.

...and the Blues Brothers car flipping way high over the pursuing Nazi cars, landing on its' wheels, then driving away just before the Nazis drive over the edge was completely believable?
I didn't say that, just between the two scenes the one I listed was more painful.
Arnie jumping out of the landing gear of a plane flying over a hundred feet off the ground, landing in a swamp and walking away without a scratch.
