Movie Clichés ... Heroes

 

  • A hero will show no pain even during the most terrific beating, yet he will wince if a women attempts to clean a facial wound.
  • When a hero is paired with a weak sidekick, that sidekick will invariably save the hero's life at a crucial moment, or show remarkable proficiency with weapons in a key scene.
  • If the hero is a white male and has an assistant/sidekick who is either not white or not male the assistant/sidekick will die, preferably in an act of heroic sacrifice.
  • If the movie hero has a sidekick and he mentions his family in the first two minutes of the film, the sidekick will surely be killed.
  • The movie hero is (almost) always divorced, but he still has some contact with his ex-wife who tells him that she could not stay married to him because she loves him too much.
