Movie Incongruities/Lucky Coincidences

[suzzer99]

Oh yeah, I just remembered - Die Hard - the scene in the air ducts where McClain catches himself, from a 2 story fall, by his fingertips. Come on. At least everything else in that movie is theoretically plausible by the laws of physics. But once someone starts falling like that it's like catching an elephant to stop them. I wish they would have somehow had him wedge his gun, with the strap wrapped around his arm, or something at least remotely possible.

Great movie, but that once scene always takes me totally out of the movie for a few minutes.
