Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Culprits: Transformers, The Avengers, most Big Budget Action films In movie worlds, it would appear that certain materials aren€™t nearly as deadly as we think they are.

Raining glass will shred your skin, falling blocks of concrete, thick wood or metal will certainly break limbs and shrapnel works as frag grenades intend them to €“ very fatally. Shia LaBeouf's character in Michael Bay€™s SFX-fest Transformers really should have died in any one of the battle scenes that made up the runtime€™s majority. But that is just because he was really, really annoying. Apply some real world logic, however, and he physically shouldn€™t have survived. Bay€™s love of explosions gets way too danger-close for any of the human characters to have realistically survived without major injury, and even the Transformers themselves probably went through several explosions that were too extreme, even for them.

Because chances are, it will all get blown up and, unlike the movies, shred you in an instant.
