Whenever I see Mummy 2, I’m reminded that the franchise was truly the 90s’ and early 2000s’ Indiana Jones.
But also, it reminds me of the dedication of the often nameless, gun-wielding goons who, with perfect precision, miss their targets —the bad guys with bad aim.
I mean… Take this scene for example.
At one point, the goons were in the same small, well-lit room as them, and at another, having the vantage point. And still… they managed to aim accurately at the window and metal railing, respectively.
Don’t get me wrong. This is by no means a complaint nor mockery. But a sort of appreciation really. Coz otherwise…
…we wouldn’t really experience the thrill of a creative, awe-inducing car chase
…or the wow-factor of a well-choreographed fight scene.
Not to mention, the action film genre would be dead.
So for their hard work and skillful portrayal of accuracy-impaired goons, here’s to the bad guys with bad aim.
Please. Keep on missing.
P.S.
