10 Rules For Surviving Action Movies
1. Don't Explain Your Evil Plan In Great Detail
To be fair, if villains simply executed the hero at the earliest opportunity, then the vast majority of action movies would only be about 30 minutes long, and none of them would have gotten sequels.
Being the self-important bunch that they are, bad guys simply love to have their opponent at their mercy before launching into a long-winded diatribe at how they put their plan together and how it makes them superior to their foe, only to act surprised when they eventually escape at the last second and exact their revenge.
We've already seen the plot unfold onscreen, so there's little reason to have someone go over it again in the off-chance that the audience has missed something to fill in the gaps, and in the end it usually leads directly to their demise and makes them look like complete idiots in the process.
