The person holding the gun must make several moves to fire the gun, and the adversary could just reach out and take the weapon, but the dropee just freezes even though often it is obvious that the cylinder is devoid of any ammo. Oh they have their weapons drawn, but not charged with a round in the chamber. Bullets, even though they are only pieces of lead-sometimes encased in copper, always make little explosions when they strike any kind of inanimate object. Women will be worrying about their nails or dresses while people are trying to kill them. Women stand wide-eyed, hand to mouth, while hero battles villain.
Women never thinks to clonk villain with handy object.
If woman does clonk, she always hits hero instead. Women always fight other movie women by pulling hair, falling to ground together, rolling over twice. She will then become totally conventional and dependent. Once she does this, the hero will become vulnerable and tell her about some tragic loss that will explain his belligerent attitude. Women wear make-up to bed, and wake up with hair and face completely intact.
