- bad guys always have bad aim. If they catch you in a trap, they will fire off 3 or 4 times the number of bullets than you from great cover.

- The gun, electronic button, cell phone, or whatever, will fall out of your hand in a struggle, and always fall JUST out of your reach

- strangers thrown together into their worst nightmare will always fall in love, especially with that divorced cop that can't keep a spouse because he is married to the job, but is on the lamb right now, so he kidnaps you and purposely puts your life at risk to save his own butt. None will walk away, go back to their normal lives and just try to forget they almost died a dozen times that day
