10 Iconic Movie Heroes Who Saved The Day By Complete Accident

3. Dorothy - The Wizard Of Oz

Does Dorothy actually do anything other than bitch about everything? Her journey in Oz starts by her house falling on one of the Wicked Witches and gets her labeled a hero. Yup, I'm sure she planned that one but she sure will take that credit. Following the yellow brick road, she finds three companions who serve to make her feel better about herself. She finally makes it to Oz only to be tasked with killing the OTHER Wicked Witch. Here we go, right? Time for Dorothy to earn her hero status, right? Well, flying monkeys (awesome, by the way -- still wish they were somehow real) swoop in and cause havoc. Dorothy is taken hostage by the Wicked Witch and is now the one who needs RESCUING! Her three companions sneak into the Witch's fortress only to be caught themselves. The Witch sets the scarecrow on fire and in the process of trying to put the flames out, Dorothy accidentally splashes the Witch with some water -- the Witch's ONE WEAKNESS. The Witch melts and Oz is saved. Hurray for Dorothy! Or anyone else (luck) I guess.

I'm married and live in New York with my wife and pets. I'm a writer and definitely not a comedian (just ask my wife). I've successfully linked my twitter, goodreads, facebook and google+ pages although the successful aspect of all that is up for debate. I also started my own blog on wordpress and have just finished my first novel, The Violent Winds. Now it's time to try and trick some unsuspecting fool into buying it.
