Line 132:
** The girls also get one in their introduction, when they're setting up a scam pretending that Little Rock is bitten and needs to be offed. The whole monty hinges on the mark getting cold feet about shooting a kid and deciding to let Wichita do the deed - all it would've taken was for Tallahassee to say "Okay, I'll put her out of her misery" and a double-tap, and Wichita would've lost her sister. And it would've been entirely her own fault.
** The mark getting cold feet was never a necessity of the scam. The ploy was that they had no weapons to do the deed themselves. All Wichita had to do was request to do it herself regardless, with Tallahassee's gun.
* ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'':
** The whole race of Romulans in the latest installment
*** Far from being the [[Artistic License Physics|first time that this has happened]] in the ''Trek'' universe, but it is a definite case of [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]], as a supernova explosion blast wave [[Space Does Not Work That Way|only travels at the speed of light]], and we are speaking of a civilization that has faster-than-light space travel. Made all the more egregious by the fact that the effects of such supernovae only traveling at the speed of light has been used to explain dramatic scenes and escapes in both the TV shows and movies. Then again, the [[Applied Phlebotinum|solution]] in this case was based on an [[Black Holes Suck]], so thinking things through too much can only give one a headache.
*** Also Olson, not pulling his chute till the last second.
** Spock was also the [[Only Sane Man]]'' in ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]''; it took him all of five minutes to figure out that the Federation had inadvertently created a [[Doomsday Device]] by building the Genesis probe, [[Idiot Ball|something that, in all their hubris, they never considered.]] Unfortunately, this is something Khan quickly noticed too.
* The two dumb kids in ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'', who decided that, while the town is on high alert for ANY potential shark fins, would do a prank involving a fake shark fin on a piece of wood, and tow it from underwater. Fortunately for the kids, they didn't get shot. Unfortunately, thanks to their distraction, at least one person was eaten and another kid was injured by the real shark, and managed to get away as a result.
** The shark himself, for eating an explosive.
