4. Bug Hunter (Starship Troopers)
Awesomeness Level: 9/10. In my mind - and I'm sure the minds of many a trigger-happy thirteen-year-old - real-life Starship Troopers would be just like playing a game of Halo; you suit up, you man up, and you put the bugs in their place with every scrap of festishised weaponry at your disposal. There would be an epic sense of camaraderie, and after a hard day's killing, you'd go home and toast the slaughter with a few tankards of beer.
Risk of Death: 9/10. The reality, though is probably very different, as made clear to us by the film itself. There's a fair chance that if you're serving in the military as a bug hunter, you're probably not all that smart - or are at least a sucker for the government's hilarious propaganda - because there's an extremely good chance you will be viciously torn to pieces by these over-sized insects. That, or you'll be stupid enough to take your helmet off during a training scenario and catch one in the dome.
