I was watching TGWTG top 11 Coolest Clichés and it reminded me of my list of hero shots. Every action movie has at lest one and I always intended to write them down one day but I never got around to it.
1: Standing over the enemy
usually battered and bloody and accompanied by a one liner
1 B: Standing over the enemy with their back truned.
2: Standing in front of an explosion
2 B: walking from an explosion
2.5: Standing in front of a fire
2.5 B: Walking from a fire
(I’m putting the fire in with the explosion because the fire is usually started by an explosion anyway)
3: Standing on a rooftop (looking at a city)
3 B: Standing on a rooftop (silhouetted by the moon, sky, etc)
4: Standing in a dramatic pose holding a weapon
5: Standing still with something blowing by/swirling around
usually in slow-mo
6: Posing in front of a flag
usually american
7: Standing silhouetted
7 B: Standing in shadow/half shadow
