@@wildanimal3737 I disagree. She's trying to manipulate him into not killing her by playing with his emotions, for starters. The "double entrendre" that was aforementioned implies that James was able to snap to his senses as quickly as he could take a life. He wouldn't miss her both figuratively AND literally.
@@ScuffedWarden A few times, though usually they still look surprised afterwards. But its often fairly early on in more supernatural movies, where you only then find out that the person shot is a vampire/werewolf/demon. Usually ends up with a 'well now you've surprised me', and then them counter-attacking in some way.
That's one of the reasons I think Boardwalk Empire is a masterpiece. It doesn't try to hide behind a veneer of "The good life" organized crime brings. It puts it all on very brutal display. Not only that it covered a point in history I don't think we really see all that much in television. There has been something of an interest in WW1 in recent years (Probably because Hollywood has milked WW2 and later wars for all they're worth) but the civilian life here state-side tends to get left out.
@@Rixoli Actually Hollywood and America kinda forgets about the Korean War which is actually still relevant. I also think that's the reason why they don't dare make a movie about it. You've got Chinese, North Koreans, and American atrocities maybe you can make a film about one of them and profit but not all three.
telling someone that they cant/wont shoot you is the exact same as telling someone to calm down when they’re calm, it’ll just provoke them into doing the opposite
Yeah. Don't tell someone who is not calm, or who is showing signs of agitation, to calm down, just be quiet, or show that you are there to help them. I have had times where I was agitated, and I was visibly and clearly calming myself down, and people knew that I was calming my self down, and some asshammer walked up and said "dude, calm down." Me: "Well I WAS calming down, until YOU DID THAT. SO WHAT'S NEXT?"
In most of these cases they are people who think they have either psychological power over a weak minded person or are confident in the hero's integrity and tolerance.
Yeah that show has its ups and downs but this is definitely one of the high points. Dude massively misread the situation, unlike his compatriot Meyer Lansky.
I loved when Frank ran up the stairs in The Punisher and the girl is like "I killed him!" and the bad guy is still alive-ish, Frank says ''You just shot him,Okay? .I killed him'' then proceeds to shoot him again.
The tone of that scene was great. It was a totally serious moment but the way Frank just kills him without a care in the world to comfort a girl was hilarious.
"What are you gonna do? Shoot me?" The problem with that question, that so many people have overlooked, is that once in a while the answer is going to be "yes."
@@MintMilk. you didn’t even come up with that its a super old saying. You aren’t Terrence howard You keep knocking on the devil's door long enough and sooner or later someone's gonna answer you. -Terrence Howard
I just realized Mass Effect 3 Citadel literally pulled that scene line by line. You hold a double agent at gun point, she flees and you can shoot her for the line "I never miss" or "not at this range". If you let her go, one of your companions shoots her and does a slight variation.
"You gon' shoot me? In front of everybody?" Proceeds to blow his brains out. Just the way Idris Elba said that line, truly believing Frank wasn't going to shoot him in such a public place was nothing short of hilarious.
The True Blood scene actually made me chuckle because of how it subverts this trope. All the other victims are essentially saying “you don’t have the guts to shoot me,” meanwhile the vampire is like, “Dude, I can REGENERATE. It is literally pointless to try and shoot me.”
I'm very happy they ended up subverting Guardian Devil and not killing her off like in the comics. Always ticked me off when they did that in the comics, right after Nocenti finally made Karen a worthwhile character Kevin Smith comes in like "You know what would be totally edgy and cool? If we killed her". Ugh.
Ive said in another comment but I hated it. It was great for Karen's character arc but Wesley was shown to be smart and pragmatic up until that point, and even though he had access to Kingpins resources and men, after capturing Karen he just leaves her unbound with no guards and leaves a loaded gun in her reach. It seems so out of character and unrealisticly stupid, theres no trope I hate more than when the writers make smart villains act stupid so they can be defeated easily.
It's even better that she follows Frank's guidance to a T. He taught her to disarm someone if you have no other recourse and that you MUST use the gun immediately. "You just took a gun off somebody who wanted to use it on you- what do you do?"
@@legogodzilla it’s even better, since Daleks are programmed not to surrender, this poor Dalek was so scarred that it evolved it’s programming just to beg for mercy
The biggest failure of that show was that the Daleks were always mooks. At best they were a pitiful underdog that got routinely genocided by the Doctor because they had a horrible habit of not knowing when they were beaten. Yet everytime they're reintroduced they're hyped up as the baddest most dangerous thing since Michael Jordan with an empty ring slot. Pick a lane , writers!
According to police, there's a significant number of tough guys whose last words were "Go on! Shot me!" When people are in a panic and someone is threateningly shouting commands at them, they frequently do as they are told without thinking.
Just for curiosity's sake - what sorts of charges would the perpetrators of those shootings receive? Sure, they committed murder, but they still would have a very good argument that their actions were not fully intentional.
@@Vova43-xh6sj "they still would have a very good argument that their actions were not fully intentional." No they do not. The simple act of pointing a loaded gun at someone is enough to condemn them if the person dies in the aftermath (unless it's in self defence of course).
It's different than in the movies though. Usually these people know that all is lost when they surrender to the police anyway. Better go down fighting than spend your life in misery.
@@Arkayjiya Its called voluntary manslaughter brother. The simple act of pointing a loaded gun at someone AND intentionally shooting them isnt enough for a murder charge. There is another element of murder called 'premeditation', meaning you planned it out beforehand and it wasn't a result of some panic or extreme emotion.
@@Vova43-xh6sj Voluntary manslaughter, they won't get the murder charge so long as there is evidence to suggest they did experience the extreme panic or whatever.
It helps that it was emotionally charged for Bond. Elektra played right into his seduction techniques, getting him to hand-deliver both an escape route for a nuclear weapon and his boss to his current enemy of the month. She played him like a damn fiddle and deserved a line so cold-blooded, hell's frozen layer went "DAMN."

That's what happens when you fall into "Main Character Syndrome." I read a quote by a soldier that went loosely like this: 'At first you think you're not gonna die because you're special, then you think your trainning is going to save you, then you realize you're a dead man walking.'
Its always happening to other people. Car crashes,getting attacked by someone, having to fight in a war, dying in war, someone shooting people with a gun in public. I would say that is the main trigger for PTSD, because it breaks the view on the world you lived in. Like soldiers comming back from war having seen horrible things,experienced horrible things and done horrible things and now your supposed to just..keep going like a normal person.
That was from Miami Vice, the man with the gun is a vice cop named Crockett. The guy in the chair (Hackman) had killed Crockett's pregnant wife earlier in the episode. Hackman was a criminal who specialized in home invasions with a habit of killing any witnesses. Hackman was smug because he had fled the US and was on Caicos Island. Hackman had told Crockett that he had bribed the local judge and police and was going to retire here safe from extradition and there was nothing he could do.
This compilation misses the most radical moment which is from Death Note: Matt: *gets out of his car with his hands up* "You got me, I'm part of this whole kidnapping incident, that means you got a lot of questions to ask. You won't shoot-" *gets absolutely shredded*
Just saying , if you threaten them with slaughtering innocent people and their loved ones through torturous means , that classifies as Self-Defense .You have given them a Moral justification .
@@TheAnonyomusGuy I believe it falls under the jurisdiction similar to if you hear people crying for help, and COULD help them in an emergency situation, and choose not to youre guilty of not doing your moral duty or whatever. At least in the states thats a thing. If youre proven to have willingly chosen not to help people when it wouldnt put your own life at risk and you could have done so easily youre at fault for not doing the right thing. So its kinda the inverse I think there. There is active threat towards others lives, and they are not backing down/there is no clear way of disarming or deescalating the situation without lethal force, you are justified in applying lethal force to save those lives. Its possible the person threatening ie the "bad guy's" accomplices/family could try to argue that there were other options, you didnt need to kill, they werent actually capable of following through with the threat etc, but thats all case to case specific. So there IS potential legal discourse if these situations occured irl, but it gets a bit muddied and grey. Most the times in the movies they are very clearly evil people fully capable of killing the people theyre threatening and willing to do so. But Zaheer would absolutely lose that court case lolol, dude was an anarchist and just straight up murdered a royal. Not saying she wasnt a piece of absolute garbage and i dont love that scene 1000%, but she wasnt actively threatening or about to murder anyone. All her shit was shady underhanded bullshit. Hard to prove in a lot of cases. Fuckin Ba Sing Se.
@@TheArtisticGamer7 You got the laws wrong; in the United States, the inverse is true. There is no law requiring action of ANY sort from a "bystander"; only designated, qualified response personnel are held legally accountable for inaction. If say, somebody was being blatantly kidnapped right in front of you, and you do nothing, you cannot be held legally responsible. First, because technically you didn't do anything, and since no laws require you to intervene, you are not responsible for the crime. Second, it prevents grief-stricken or otherwise emotionally compromised families attempting to take legal vengeance upon somebody that did not commit the crime in a misguided attempt to get some justice for their victim. There IS a "Duty to Rescue" law in some countries, being predominantly European and South American, with a bit of Africa. These usually at minimum require anybody witnessing the event to call the emergency number or fetch medical supplies; but they do not require further attempts. So in the same kidnapping scenario, you can just call the emergency number and no more is required of you. (Also about 2 - 3 USA states have adopted a form of this law) The United States instead has what is known as the "Good Samaritan Law", which states that people giving reasonable assistance to those they believe are in need of aid cannot be held legally liable for wrongdoing. For example, performing CPR on an unconscious person can often crack multiple ribs. This is actually VERY common, because you need to put substantial force on the ribcage in order to significantly compress the heart and lungs. However, without Good Samaritan laws, the person who you literally just brought back from the dead can turn around and sue you for breaking their ribcage, similar to how Mr. Incredible got sued by the man attempting suicide because he broke half his body.
"Did you see the sunrise" was such a groundbreaking moment back in the 80s... An unambiguously GOOD guy character. As the villain describes accurately, honor, sense of fair play. Someone who would otherwise NEVER sink to their level.. It was unthinkable that a character of that type would just say "fuck it, he's got it coming" and straight up murder a dude... But Magnum didn't even hesitate, and gave that asshole what he deserved. I remember watching that the first time and everyone was like "oh shit.. He fuckin did it."... It was very much a shock ending in that day and age.
Roughly 40 years ago and American culture has changed so drastically. Not for the better in my opinion since the cost of shifting away from those values costed American's common sense, integrity, and self accountability.
@@ohheyitsguy early that morning a car bomb planted in Magnum’s car had blown up his friend Mac. Mac’s last words were “come on let’s go see the sunrise”, the bomb was meant for Magnum as Ivan had tortured him and TC in Vietnam, and had killed their old buddy Cookie
@@ohheyitsguy Ivan had tried to kill Magnum by wiring his car to explode. Magnum is out with his friend and a girl and they're about to call it a night. His friend doesn't want to and jumps in Magnum's car ahead of Magnum and the girl saying- "Let's drive up to (can't remember where) and watch the sunrise." So--- Magnum is remembering the last thing his friend wanted to do, and, IMHO, kind of bumping up his resolution to kill lvan, Ivan has already gotten to do something he took away from Magnum's friend and will continue enjoying the things in life he took away from the friend. That final scene is a day or two later when Ivan is about to leave the country/Hawaii and Magnum and his friends ambush and grab him.
I love the lore behind Tywin's death, because he also killed his own father for bringing ruin to the Lannister family by lending generously and not being strict on repayment. It was only after that first arrow hit that Tywin fully understood that only Tyrion was his true heir and understood his values better than he himself ever did. Furthermore, a man willing to cheat and slaughter his enemies at a wedding has no right to expect privacy or decency for his own death.
You still have the right to expect privacy or decency for your own death even if you are a war criminal. It's just that it's also "rich, coming from you!!"
Ok, so you've built your own lore in your head, and I'm glad you're nurturing your imagination, but make sure to have a disclaimer so people won't have to call you a dirty liar.
These people forget how easy it is to convince yourself for half a second to do something, especially when it’s a small single action like pulling a finger towards the rest of your hand.
I'd say it's one of two moments that defined Magnum as a character, when he shot Ivan and when he didn't shoot Quang Ki, both occasions the motivation is the same, to protect others
I always hated the "You wont shoot me" thing bro I will just to prove you wrong. I hate when the character actually don't shoot because they are "too good" this video is nice to see.
I LOVE how you not only tell us where the clips come from (and which season and episode, if it’s a show), but you TIME STAMP it. That is so considerate and awesome.
That's a good life lesson. Don't provoke someone who can kill you by a flick of their finger. And remember that, unless he's a professional, a person who is pointing a gun at you is most likely in a state of high emotions too. It can take the slightest provocation to make him shoot.
@@throckmortonsmith This really isn't a joking matter when someone is actively giving people advice that would get them killed. If someone points a gun at you, you do what they say. Otherwise you'll most likely die. It isn't like it is in the movies where you can say "You don't have the heart to shoot me" and the gunman gets all emotional and they hug each other. This is real life.
There's one in a Call of Duty game where Michael Rooker can potentially get domed by the player character (who's a mole with the bad guys) while his character tries to give him an out by antagonizing the main villain into doing it. It's the only example I can think of where the hero does it.
Luther TV show reversed that trope: good guy tried to talk a bad guy out of a crime spree and said « _We’re on the same side. I don’t think you’re gonna shoot me_ » and gets shot…
I mean, the 'bad guys' are obviously willing to shoot. So there would be no reason to doubt it. The only time you'd think you wouldnt be shot is if you assume the other person is too weak/principled/pacifistic/whatever, and that generally doesnt apply to villains.
The Daredevil one was CRAZY. The whole atmosphere of the situation made her shooting totally unexpected. I was in shock. 1:37 The stakes were so high for both parties given their circumstances but you'd never expect her to shoot given her personality (and her stakes again).
Not a gunshot, but the end of the superhero movie, Darkman, is similar. The hero is holding the villain off of a high ledge, and the villains goes "You won't drop me! If you kill me, you become the same as me! You'll never be able to live with yourself!" And of course, the hero drops him. And he says "I'm learning to live with a lot of things."
Also love how it turned the interrogation trope on its rear, too. Darkman has a low-level thug in his grasp, holding his head up through a sewer hole in oncoming traffic. The thug gives him the information thinking he's going to let him go. "I told you everything I knew!". Darkman then says "Yes, you did. But let's pretend that you DIDN'T!", thrusts the thug's head up for it to be squashed like a Mellon beneath a speeding car 's tire.
3:50 - To those who haven't seen True Blood: brilliant scene. In that show, wooden bullets exist, specifically to kill vampires. Jason had the shotgun loaded with them, obviously.
@@maogu1999 Well yea, but doesn’t it being a stake mean something or just anything wood. Plus what I was getting at is that wooden bullets being fired out of a shotgun wouldn’t work so at least silver bullets would actually fire.
@@_Shay_ In the TB universe, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's wood. In one scene, the lead character kills a vampire with a pair of fucking chopsticks. Yes. Chinese food chopsticks.
The last clip from Magnum P.I. was the best one. I remember that episode, and how shocking the ending was at the time. Under most circumstances Magnum wouldn't gun down an unarmed man, but this was the guy who murdered his friend, and he was about to walk away, free to kill again.
I know this insane an all encompassing list... but the sheer amount of stories in media that someone DOESN'T just shoot the bad guy to end all the problems is vastly larger than this compilation. Happens a lot in video games too, the amount of times a massive situation can be solved from a single weapon is staggering.
For real. There's to many shows and movies where the good guy lets the bad guy get away because they don't shoot. And the bad guy is a psycho who's killed and will kill again. Smh.
@@thriftyodysseus9544funny enough that's one of the biggest flaws in Batmans logic, the idea of letting someone continue living even though he had killed before and will kill again is what he does with Joker except he does have a good reason-ish with the whole I'm afraid if I start I'll never stop but that's also called the slippery slope fallacy that once you start on track to something it will not stop
@@Finn_the_Cat Batman doesn't trust himself that's why. He is incapable of drawing the line where murder is acceptable, so if he killed joker, bane or the penguin, nothing would stop him from killing a shop thief. His no kill rule is more like a mental block/compulsion rather than a moral position
@The_Man_Who_Sold_the_World. I don't like that explanation, it's dumb imo, I perfer the idea that losing his parents at a young age to violent crime instilled a sense of absolute care that everyone deserves a chance to live normally regardless of how heinous or evil, its a, belief that all life is sacred, I got it from a video about why owlman was a better anti batman than the batman who laughs because he cares about nothing and no one, hes an extreme nihilistic person who even believes his own quest to kill all humanity is worthless in the end, but batman believes all life is beyond valuable and regardless of how heinous or evil as I said so he would never take a life because all are sacred
That Daredevil scene is so amazing. The characters are just perfect for it. Page is scared shitless and Wesley can be an intimidating guy, you really believe she won't do it until the end.
That scene actually made me drop the series. The guy who is portrayed as the smart, calm and thought out right hand of kingpin just decides he is gonna kidnap someone on his own and then put a loaded gun in front of her while threatening to destroy her entire life. If you wanna kill a character off, fine. But it has to make sense. He acted so out of character, like he just decided to leave his brain at home that day. Sorry, but I gotta disagree with you on that one, I think the scene is pretty terrible.
I like that there's 3 reasons why this happens: 1. The villain thinks they're powerful, important, they feel untouchable because they think the person holding the gun knows pulling the trigger will have consequences 2. They're close to each other, a parent, a relative, a lover, they think they can use emotional manipulation to get away with it 3. They underestimate the other person and think they aren't strong willed or violent enough to pull the trigger Thing is, everyone has limits, and when someone is so done with your shit and one pull away of getting you out of the way, well, all that stuff sometimes doesn't matter lol
such an original comment! you know the people who write these comments are funny and original by how many times it is spammed on every video in desperation for attention
The American Gangster one is definitely my favorite version of this trope. What’s even better is that Frank when he’s done shooting Tango in broad daylight he casually walks 50 yards back to the diner to finish his breakfast with his family.
“What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?” Yeah…why else would they point the gun in the first place? Rule Number 1 of Threatening People: Threats should not be empty
Also, number 1 rule of gun safety. Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them. Loaded or unloaded. Edit: May not exactly be rule 1, but it is a major rule.
@@Supperdude9 TECHNICALLY (adjusting glasses) Rule #1 is "Always treat the firearm as loaded", and "Never point it at something you're not willing to destroy" is #2 generally, that being said, both go pretty much hand-in-glove so your comments still correct.
The Daredevil one was shocking because I never in a million years expected her to actually do it and Wesley was known for finessing every situation he ever was in.
He always threatens people with Fisk's influence and resources, and in a position where people can't take immediate action against him. It was brilliantly written but makes sense that doesn't work when someone literally has a gun pulled on you, and can neutralize you in a split second. It's also an interesting comparison between Wesley and Fisk. Fisk actually *is* street smart and would have been able to handle Karen in that position.
I remember seeing the "did you see the sunrise this morning" episode of Magnum P.I. & it always stuck with me. I always thought of it as a reminder to enjoy life while you can, because you never know when your life will end
The thing about 8:35 is... Frank Lucas actually just did that irl. MF simply shot one of his rivals in broad daylight, in harlem, on a crowded sidewalk and got away with it.
I love it when Character A calls out Character B's bluff, and then Character A is proven to be dead wrong. *Edit:* So last night, a burglar broke into my house and he was searching for money. So guess what I did. I got up, and searched with him! *Ba-dum-tss*
The Daredevil one is my favorite. Dude took off his glasses and stood up thinking "Awe this broad soft she ain't gon do.... 💥 AW WHAT THE FU-"💥💥💥 Like man, I'm glad Wesley got taken out cos he is a menace but he went out GOOFY. He really tried to tell her the heater was cold but she was like "Bullshit" and cranked that up to TOASTY.
I love how he laid down very slowly, looking uncomfortable and hesitating a few times, shows that he still fears it even though he's trying to appear confident and makes him feel like an actual human!
Something I love is when the hero gets emotional and the bad guy is like, 'You're too scared' no they just know the gravity of taking a life, so they want to be positive that it's gonna be worth it
The Daredevil one was the most out of the blue. This guy is built up as this cut-throat intimidating calculating psychopath, and then he just straight up actually puts a loaded gun down infront of his hostage and is surprised when she takes the gun and shoots him. Like it's gotta be hubris, but it was just so much of an "are you absolutely serious right now" kind of moment.
The funny thing is this kind of interaction actually happens in real life, people just don't seem to understand how easy it is to kill when all you have to do is put a little bit of pressure on a trigger if we were still stuck with using swords and clubs as weapons I could see these bluffs actually working more often.
Yeah. Guns are less personal than blades. That’s why shooting someone dead seems like something anyone could do but stabbing someone to death could only be done by a psycho
Kind of out of the blue thing I was reminded of, but the game The Forest put a lot of emphasis on how difficult and heartaching it actually is to kill someone if you dont have a gun. You have to repeteadly bash their skull or stab them if you really want to take one person out, which is when you really start to feel the guilt to keep going. Guns, make it easy on that front as long as you aim for something vital.
It happens in real life because most people do not understand what being a victim of violence is like in modern society. They are used to living in a clean, safe world where they are not used to being beaten or stabbed or shot. People will talk down to someone with a gun because the thought of being shot really does not cross their mind until they are actually shot.
there is a series of books by RA Salvatore about a drow elf named Drizzt, and he uses two scimitars. between chapters sometimes is a monologue by drizzt about life or his circumstances, commenting loosely on the story at hand, but mostly reading like a journal entry. my favorite is the one where he laments the advent of the gun, specifically because it is so easy to kill someone with relatively less threat than a sword fight. he reasons, along with that, the lack of extensive sword training is going to create a particular type of killer who knows no mercy, has no fear, and doesn't have to see his enemy up close and personal. ultimately, he realizes the gun makes taking life trivial, to the detriment of all society. very cool take considering it's an in-character, in-world monologue without feeling preachy (especially considering it was written before america's mass shooting problem really became our trademark).
Never expected Zaheer killing the Earth Queen to pop up in this video. Amongst all these gunshots and tense moments and a cartoon manages to pull off one of the more gruesome executions in the compilation.
Yeah, at least with a gunshot, you'll die almost instantly or would be too uncouncious to even notice what happened, but seeing getting the air our of your lungs and being suffocated by it, it's honestly terrifying.
Honestly Lord Superman killing Luthor is the most gruesome. His eyes start glowing, they cut to Bruce and Diana smelling something burning, they're like "oh no" in a moment of uncharacteristic panic, then they walk into the oval office and grimace. Batman, Mr. Darkness himself, and Wonder Woman, Amazon warrior princess, grimace. They don't show you any gore, it being a children's cartoon, but you see the fire and smoke, you see the damage to the surroundings, and you see Superman looking out the window, hands behind his back, like he's a principal observing his students play at recess, his face is emotionless. Even before the iconic exchange between him and Diana immediately following, the scene was gruesome, because the grue was left to the imagination and when I first watched that scene my mind went wild imagining what human bones looked like when they melted and how the blood glistened on the cauterised stump that used to be the president. What pose was the corpse- what was left of it- in? Did Luthor try to run away, lunge for him, reach for a weapon? Or did he not even have the time- incinerated where he stood by a force so truly beyond his reckoning that he might as well not even have gotten up that morning. Brutal.
8:29 This is what made me love American Gangster. Denzel Washington's character just doesn't mess around, compare it to some of the scenes in the other movies, it takes ages till they pull the trigger. In American Gangster it doesn't. That's when you know that you shouldn't mess with him. In other movies it would take ages till Idris Elba's character would've been shot.
Sometimes you try to use psychology to overcome a difficult situation. Especially if your character is stronger than the one with the gun's. Still remember: they have a gun, and that gives one hell of a confidence boost.

In most of these cases they are people who think they have either psychological power over a weak minded person or are confident in the hero's integrity and tolerance.
They get it from the scenarist wiriting characters who get the confidence to think they won't get shot for even a second.
These are fictional movies. Maybe there should have been a title card at the beginning explaining that.

The Daredevil scene was so unexpected and awesome. Karen really surprised me as a character throughout the show.
I'm very happy they ended up subverting Guardian Devil and not killing her off like in the comics. Always ticked me off when they did that in the comics, right after Nocenti finally made Karen a worthwhile character Kevin Smith comes in like "You know what would be totally edgy and cool? If we killed her". Ugh.

First 2 season was gold but man they ruined daredevil in season 3 . Was boring and meanless
Cant wait for disney to take the show and burn it to the ground
Ive said in another comment but I hated it. It was great for Karen's character arc but Wesley was shown to be smart and pragmatic up until that point, and even though he had access to Kingpins resources and men, after capturing Karen he just leaves her unbound with no guards and leaves a loaded gun in her reach. It seems so out of character and unrealisticly stupid, theres no trope I hate more than when the writers make smart villains act stupid so they can be defeated easily.

It's even better that she follows Frank's guidance to a T. He taught her to disarm someone if you have no other recourse and that you MUST use the gun immediately. "You just took a gun off somebody who wanted to use it on you- what do you do?"

According to police, there's a significant number of tough guys whose last words were "Go on! Shot me!"
When people are in a panic and someone is threateningly shouting commands at them, they frequently do as they are told without thinking.
Just for curiosity's sake - what sorts of charges would the perpetrators of those shootings receive? Sure, they committed murder, but they still would have a very good argument that their actions were not fully intentional.
@@Vova43-xh6sj "they still would have a very good argument that their actions were not fully intentional."
No they do not. The simple act of pointing a loaded gun at someone is enough to condemn them if the person dies in the aftermath (unless it's in self defence of course).
It's different than in the movies though. Usually these people know that all is lost when they surrender to the police anyway. Better go down fighting than spend your life in misery.
@@Arkayjiya Its called voluntary manslaughter brother. The simple act of pointing a loaded gun at someone AND intentionally shooting them isnt enough for a murder charge. There is another element of murder called 'premeditation', meaning you planned it out beforehand and it wasn't a result of some panic or extreme emotion.
@@Vova43-xh6sj Voluntary manslaughter, they won't get the murder charge so long as there is evidence to suggest they did experience the extreme panic or whatever.

That's what happens when you fall into "Main Character Syndrome."
I read a quote by a soldier that went loosely like this: 'At first you think you're not gonna die because you're special, then you think your trainning is going to save you, then you realize you're a dead man walking.'
Its always happening to other people. Car crashes,getting attacked by someone, having to fight in a war, dying in war, someone shooting people with a gun in public.
I would say that is the main trigger for PTSD, because it breaks the view on the world you lived in. Like soldiers comming back from war having seen horrible things,experienced horrible things and done horrible things and now your supposed to just..keep going like a normal person.
Not sure if they used the quote in the show or if that's where it's from, but it's from the show Band of Brothers.

That was from Miami Vice, the man with the gun is a vice cop named Crockett. The guy in the chair (Hackman) had killed Crockett's pregnant wife earlier in the episode. Hackman was a criminal who specialized in home invasions with a habit of killing any witnesses. Hackman was smug because he had fled the US and was on Caicos Island.

This compilation misses the most radical moment which is from Death Note:

*gets absolutely shredded*
Just saying , if you threaten them with slaughtering innocent people and their loved ones through torturous means , that classifies as Self-Defense .You have given them a Moral justification .
legaly probably not but moraly yes
MORE TAUNTING THEM THEY TO COWARDLY TO DO IT CHANGES THEIR MIND NOT TO LET YOU GO.
@@Toto-95 Even legally it holds up in most cases especially if the person making the threat is capable of performing the actions they said they would
@@TheAnonyomusGuy I believe it falls under the jurisdiction similar to if you hear people crying for help, and COULD help them in an emergency situation, and choose not to youre guilty of not doing your moral duty or whatever. At least in the states thats a thing. If youre proven to have willingly chosen not to help people when it wouldnt put your own life at risk and you could have done so easily youre at fault for not doing the right thing.
So its kinda the inverse I think there. There is active threat towards others lives, and they are not backing down/there is no clear way of disarming or deescalating the situation without lethal force, you are justified in applying lethal force to save those lives. Its possible the person threatening ie the "bad guy's" accomplices/family could try to argue that there were other options, you didnt need to kill, they werent actually capable of following through with the threat etc, but thats all case to case specific. So there IS potential legal discourse if these situations occured irl, but it gets a bit muddied and grey. Most the times in the movies they are very clearly evil people fully capable of killing the people theyre threatening and willing to do so.
But Zaheer would absolutely lose that court case lolol, dude was an anarchist and just straight up murdered a royal. Not saying she wasnt a piece of absolute garbage and i dont love that scene 1000%, but she wasnt actively threatening or about to murder anyone. All her shit was shady underhanded bullshit. Hard to prove in a lot of cases. Fuckin Ba Sing Se.
@@TheArtisticGamer7 You got the laws wrong; in the United States, the inverse is true. There is no law requiring action of ANY sort from a "bystander"; only designated, qualified response personnel are held legally accountable for inaction. If say, somebody was being blatantly kidnapped right in front of you, and you do nothing, you cannot be held legally responsible. First, because technically you didn't do anything, and since no laws require you to intervene, you are not responsible for the crime. Second, it prevents grief-stricken or otherwise emotionally compromised families attempting to take legal vengeance upon somebody that did not commit the crime in a misguided attempt to get some justice for their victim.
There IS a "Duty to Rescue" law in some countries, being predominantly European and South American, with a bit of Africa. These usually at minimum require anybody witnessing the event to call the emergency number or fetch medical supplies; but they do not require further attempts. So in the same kidnapping scenario, you can just call the emergency number and no more is required of you. (Also about 2 - 3 USA states have adopted a form of this law)
The United States instead has what is known as the "Good Samaritan Law", which states that people giving reasonable assistance to those they believe are in need of aid cannot be held legally liable for wrongdoing. For example, performing CPR on an unconscious person can often crack multiple ribs. This is actually VERY common, because you need to put substantial force on the ribcage in order to significantly compress the heart and lungs. However, without Good Samaritan laws, the person who you literally just brought back from the dead can turn around and sue you for breaking their ribcage, similar to how Mr. Incredible got sued by the man attempting suicide because he broke half his body.
"Did you see the sunrise" was such a groundbreaking moment back in the 80s... An unambiguously GOOD guy character. As the villain describes accurately, honor, sense of fair play. Someone who would otherwise NEVER sink to their level.. It was unthinkable that a character of that type would just say "fuck it, he's got it coming" and straight up murder a dude... But Magnum didn't even hesitate, and gave that asshole what he deserved. I remember watching that the first time and everyone was like "oh shit.. He fuckin did it."... It was very much a shock ending in that day and age.

@@ohheyitsguy Ivan had tried to kill Magnum by wiring his car to explode. Magnum is out with his friend and a girl and they're about to call it a night. His friend doesn't want to and jumps in Magnum's car ahead of Magnum and the girl saying- "Let's drive up to (can't remember where) and watch the sunrise." So--- Magnum is remembering the last thing his friend wanted to do, and, IMHO, kind of bumping up his resolution to kill lvan, Ivan has already gotten to do something he took away from Magnum's friend and will continue enjoying the things in life he took away from the friend.
That final scene is a day or two later when Ivan is about to leave the country/Hawaii and Magnum and his friends ambush and grab him.
I love the lore behind Tywin's death, because he also killed his own father for bringing ruin to the Lannister family by lending generously and not being strict on repayment. It was only after that first arrow hit that Tywin fully understood that only Tyrion was his true heir and understood his values better than he himself ever did.
Furthermore, a man willing to cheat and slaughter his enemies at a wedding has no right to expect privacy or decency for his own death.

Luther TV show reversed that trope: good guy tried to talk a bad guy out of a crime spree and said « _We’re on the same side. I don’t think you’re gonna shoot me_ » and gets shot…
I mean, the 'bad guys' are obviously willing to shoot. So there would be no reason to doubt it. The only time you'd think you wouldnt be shot is if you assume the other person is too weak/principled/pacifistic/whatever, and that generally doesnt apply to villains.

Not a gunshot, but the end of the superhero movie, Darkman, is similar. The hero is holding the villain off of a high ledge, and the villains goes "You won't drop me! If you kill me, you become the same as me! You'll never be able to live with yourself!" And of course, the hero drops him. And he says "I'm learning to live with a lot of things."
Also love how it turned the interrogation trope on its rear, too. Darkman has a low-level thug in his grasp, holding his head up through a sewer hole in oncoming traffic. The thug gives him the information thinking he's going to let him go. "I told you everything I knew!". Darkman then says "Yes, you did.

Great movie.
Severely underrated. Liam Neeson was great.
Is it sacrilege to say that Darkman is the real best Sam Raimi superhero movie?
@@smproductions7141 No but Spider-Man 2 is my personal favourite.
River Song is the only person in the entire universe who can make a dalek beg for mercy.
Gods I love that scene.
3:50 - To those who haven't seen True Blood: brilliant scene. In that show, wooden bullets exist, specifically to kill vampires. Jason had the shotgun loaded with them, obviously.
Wooden bullets 😂
Why not silver bullets, at least that makes sense.
@@_Shay_because tradition is for nerds
@@_Shay_
Because you kill a vampire with a wooden stake through the heart?
@@maogu1999 Well yea, but doesn’t it being a stake mean something or just anything wood. Plus what I was getting at is that wooden bullets being fired out of a shotgun wouldn’t work so at least silver bullets would actually fire.
@@_Shay_
In the TB universe, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's wood. In one scene, the lead character kills a vampire with a pair of fucking chopsticks. Yes. Chinese food chopsticks.
The last clip from Magnum P.I. was the best one. I remember that episode, and how shocking the ending was at the time. Under most circumstances Magnum wouldn't gun down an unarmed man, but this was the guy who murdered his friend, and he was about to walk away, free to kill again.
I dont get the sunrise line. Last time i watched magnum i was a kid.
Did it has any special meaning?
@@user-zn7tj3xc7k His buddy who was blown up by that guy, had said to Magnum "let's go see the sun rise", right before he was killed.
I think this was the first time something like this happened on American TV. A "good" character flat-out murdering someone else.
@@winstonwolf6791 Also, he had gotten into Magnum's car just before delivering that line...so Magnum felt a bit of guilt there, too.
It was a double episode too IIRC. The best, and most serious in the whole series. My absolute favourite.
American Gangster 8:53
"You gonna shoot me? In front of everybody?"
**shoots him in front of everybody**
8:57 Boom
*insert Curb Your Enthusiasm theme*
I know this insane an all encompassing list... but the sheer amount of stories in media that someone DOESN'T just shoot the bad guy to end all the problems is vastly larger than this compilation.
Happens a lot in video games too, the amount of times a massive situation can be solved from a single weapon is staggering.
For real. There's to many shows and movies where the good guy lets the bad guy get away because they don't shoot. And the bad guy is a psycho who's killed and will kill again. Smh.
@@thriftyodysseus9544funny enough that's one of the biggest flaws in Batmans logic, the idea of letting someone continue living even though he had killed before and will kill again is what he does with Joker except he does have a good reason-ish with the whole I'm afraid if I start I'll never stop but that's also called the slippery slope fallacy that once you start on track to something it will not stop
@@Finn_the_Cat Batman doesn't trust himself that's why. He is incapable of drawing the line where murder is acceptable, so if he killed joker, bane or the penguin, nothing would stop him from killing a shop thief. His no kill rule is more like a mental block/compulsion rather than a moral position
Um this op comment isn't making sense here
@The_Man_Who_Sold_the_World. I don't like that explanation, it's dumb imo, I perfer the idea that losing his parents at a young age to violent crime instilled a sense of absolute care that everyone deserves a chance to live normally regardless of how heinous or evil, its a, belief that all life is sacred, I got it from a video about why owlman was a better anti batman than the batman who laughs because he cares about nothing and no one, hes an extreme nihilistic person who even believes his own quest to kill all humanity is worthless in the end, but batman believes all life is beyond valuable and regardless of how heinous or evil as I said so he would never take a life because all are sacred
That Daredevil scene is so amazing. The characters are just perfect for it. Page is scared shitless and Wesley can be an intimidating guy, you really believe she won't do it until the end.
That dude looked like a bad guy from an Anime.
@@jackkraken3888 I mean...
@@jackkraken3888 Heck. Aizen.
That scene actually made me drop the series. The guy who is portrayed as the smart, calm and thought out right hand of kingpin just decides he is gonna kidnap someone on his own and then put a loaded gun in front of her while threatening to destroy her entire life. If you wanna kill a character off, fine. But it has to make sense. He acted so out of character, like he just decided to leave his brain at home that day. Sorry, but I gotta disagree with you on that one, I think the scene is pretty terrible.
@@johnklimme887 He was too smart that he thought she wouldn’t go for the fucking gun😂
I like that there's 3 reasons why this happens:
1. The villain thinks they're powerful, important, they feel untouchable because they think the person holding the gun knows pulling the trigger will have consequences
2. They're close to each other, a parent, a relative, a lover, they think they can use emotional manipulation to get away with it
3. They underestimate the other person and think they aren't strong willed or violent enough to pull the trigger
Thing is, everyone has limits, and when someone is so done with your shit and one pull away of getting you out of the way, well, all that stuff sometimes doesn't matter lol
I think there is a movie called....Breaking Point from 2009, pretty good film.
4th, and it's a simple one: Misfire. When the safety is off anyone that weapon is aimed at is in mortal danger at all times; and accidents happen.
@@sarttan no. Thats Not important for the scene

The American Gangster one is definitely my favorite version of this trope. What’s even better is that Frank when he’s done shooting Tango in broad daylight he casually walks 50 yards back to the diner to finish his breakfast with his family.
Forreal, he was sending a message
I suspect the character of Frank was the inspiration for Gus in Breaking Bad.
“What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?”
Yeah…why else would they point the gun in the first place?
Rule Number 1 of Threatening People: Threats should not be empty
Also, number 1 rule of gun safety. Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them. Loaded or unloaded.
Edit: May not exactly be rule 1, but it is a major rule.
and the coolest line you can say when someone asks why you are threatening them is and always will be "I don't make threats, I make promises"
@@Supperdude9 not EXACTLY rule 1 since threats can vary in intensity, but same energy
Don't make threats, make promises. 🤗
@@Supperdude9 TECHNICALLY (adjusting glasses) Rule #1 is "Always treat the firearm as loaded", and "Never point it at something you're not willing to destroy" is #2 generally, that being said, both go pretty much hand-in-glove so your comments still correct.
The Daredevil one was shocking because I never in a million years expected her to actually do it and Wesley was known for finessing every situation he ever was in.
He always threatens people with Fisk's influence and resources, and in a position where people can't take immediate action against him.
It was brilliantly written but makes sense that doesn't work when someone literally has a gun pulled on you, and can neutralize you in a split second.
It's also an interesting comparison between Wesley and Fisk. Fisk actually *is* street smart and would have been able to handle Karen in that position.
for real as i was watching that i was like “she should shoot him but she’s not gonna because - OH SHIT”
I remember seeing the "did you see the sunrise this morning" episode of Magnum P.I. & it always stuck with me. I always thought of it as a reminder to enjoy life while you can, because you never know when your life will end

That's not a bluff, lol.
Literally the opposite.
6:54 The old man pulled the gun towards himself causing the boy to fire, like... ok.
Seems like the boy tried to pull away the gun and it went off since he was holding on the gun.
I mean the old guy did say "your not gonna shoot me" and did proceed to get shot whether intentional or not it still fits
I like how the Dalek is just literally crying for mercy in a sort of panic.
It is even better as it starts panicking after looking again into who she is

That Magnum scene is iconic. I still remember it 40 years later. Archer even borrowed it for their rampage episode.
I didn't even know it was a reference until I watched this video.
Holy shit that's RIGHT
Terms of Enrampagement… I had something for it
I couldn't BELIEVE when the video ended, and the shot-for-shot parody from Archer wasn't the next clip.
Me too. I was a kid and loved the show. Was a total surprise at the time.
The scene from "Boardwalk Empire" at 2:19 is the best one.

@@CMage101He sounds so awkward saying it, like he was an introvert dragged into this. I love it
Moral of the story don't tell somebody that they're not going to shoot you that has a gun in their hand
“Are you challenging me?!”
Something I love is when the hero gets emotional and the bad guy is like, 'You're too scared' no they just know the gravity of taking a life, so they want to be positive that it's gonna be worth it
The Daredevil one was the most out of the blue.
This guy is built up as this cut-throat intimidating calculating psychopath, and then he just straight up actually puts a loaded gun down infront of his hostage and is surprised when she takes the gun and shoots him.
Like it's gotta be hubris, but it was just so much of an "are you absolutely serious right now" kind of moment.
5:08 Everything about this shot is just awesome..the natural echos and the sound of the ejected casing. Badass
The editors wussed out and added a expanding shot showing that bad guy had a gun. I prefer this way.

"Consider that a divorce."

Shooter: Okay bet.
The funny thing is this kind of interaction actually happens in real life, people just don't seem to understand how easy it is to kill when all you have to do is put a little bit of pressure on a trigger if we were still stuck with using swords and clubs as weapons I could see these bluffs actually working more often.
Yeah. Guns are less personal than blades. That’s why shooting someone dead seems like something anyone could do but stabbing someone to death could only be done by a psycho
Kind of out of the blue thing I was reminded of, but the game The Forest put a lot of emphasis on how difficult and heartaching it actually is to kill someone if you dont have a gun. You have to repeteadly bash their skull or stab them if you really want to take one person out, which is when you really start to feel the guilt to keep going. Guns, make it easy on that front as long as you aim for something vital.
It happens in real life because most people do not understand what being a victim of violence is like in modern society. They are used to living in a clean, safe world where they are not used to being beaten or stabbed or shot. People will talk down to someone with a gun because the thought of being shot really does not cross their mind until they are actually shot.
@@Esauofisaac nothing really is gonna be happening in the mind when it’s up to the head
there is a series of books by RA Salvatore about a drow elf named Drizzt, and he uses two scimitars. between chapters sometimes is a monologue by drizzt about life or his circumstances, commenting loosely on the story at hand, but mostly reading like a journal entry. my favorite is the one where he laments the advent of the gun, specifically because it is so easy to kill someone with relatively less threat than a sword fight. he reasons, along with that, the lack of extensive sword training is going to create a particular type of killer who knows no mercy, has no fear, and doesn't have to see his enemy up close and personal. ultimately, he realizes the gun makes taking life trivial, to the detriment of all society. very cool take considering it's an in-character, in-world monologue without feeling preachy (especially considering it was written before america's mass shooting problem really became our trademark).
Never expected Zaheer killing the Earth Queen to pop up in this video. Amongst all these gunshots and tense moments and a cartoon manages to pull off one of the more gruesome executions in the compilation.
Yeah, at least with a gunshot, you'll die almost instantly or would be too uncouncious to even notice what happened, but seeing getting the air our of your lungs and being suffocated by it, it's honestly terrifying.
Right?! That caught me off guard too, Zaheer was such an amazing villain!
Honestly Lord Superman killing Luthor is the most gruesome. His eyes start glowing, they cut to Bruce and Diana smelling something burning, they're like "oh no" in a moment of uncharacteristic panic, then they walk into the oval office and grimace. Batman, Mr. Darkness himself, and Wonder Woman, Amazon warrior princess, grimace.
They don't show you any gore, it being a children's cartoon, but you see the fire and smoke, you see the damage to the surroundings, and you see Superman looking out the window, hands behind his back, like he's a principal observing his students play at recess, his face is emotionless.
Even before the iconic exchange between him and Diana immediately following, the scene was gruesome, because the grue was left to the imagination and when I first watched that scene my mind went wild imagining what human bones looked like when they melted and how the blood glistened on the cauterised stump that used to be the president.
What pose was the corpse- what was left of it- in? Did Luthor try to run away, lunge for him, reach for a weapon? Or did he not even have the time- incinerated where he stood by a force so truly beyond his reckoning that he might as well not even have gotten up that morning. Brutal.

8:29 This is what made me love American Gangster. Denzel Washington's character just doesn't mess around, compare it to some of the scenes in the other movies, it takes ages till they pull the trigger. In American Gangster it doesn't. That's when you know that you shouldn't mess with him. In other movies it would take ages till Idris Elba's character would've been shot.
"You're not gonna shoot me, it would have terrible consequences for you."
"You forgot one thing: I'm stupid."
*BANG BANG BANG*
James Bonds' "I never miss" was an all-time classic lol.
Later evolved into "you would miss me" "not at this range", equally fun.
Sometimes you try to use psychology to overcome a difficult situation. Especially if your character is stronger than the one with the gun's.
Still remember: they have a gun, and that gives one hell of a confidence boost.
2:34 idk why, but that line got me good😂😂😂
