"I want my movies to be more realistic!", said no one ever. Sure, some people claim they want their Batman reboot to be more realistic, their new blond Bond to be more serious, their new Star Trek to be grittier... but for crying out loud, these are the same people who are going to watch movies about Batman, James Bond, and Star Trek. If we truly wanted realistic movies, we'd watch nothing but Lincoln all the time. Nonetheless, sometimes things just get too ridiculous. In this article, we'll be reviewing some of the ridiculous ways people have survived sure death in film. Beginning with the first scenario....

Option 1: Hide inside a refrigerator Seen in: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull When trapped in an abandoned town and wary of a bomb about to go off, simply climb inside the oldest refrigerator you see. The older, the more likely it has high quantities of lead lining it, which should protect you from any radiation. Be careful to not break your neck whilst being hurled hundreds of yards at great velocity. Option 2: Drive a motorcycle into a ditch. Seen in: Chain Reaction Apparently, if you see a nuclear blast is imminent, you have plenty of time to escape. Simply hop on your motorcycle and drive away at a legal speed for about a minute, and you'll be plenty far enough away. If still concerned about your safety, drive into a ditch. Everyone knows ditches are the best place to be in case of tornado or lightning, so in case of a nuclear bomb, the ditch should work just fine too.
