Christian Slater's Running Speed


Only in the movies can a person fall off a Humvee that is moving at like 45-50 mph, and get up and chase it down on foot at said speed and then also have enough energy to leap into the air and land on the back of the Humvee :D

Yup. That's why they call them movies.

Every time I jump off Nakatomi Plaza with just a fire hose wrapped around me, I'm able to get right up.

Never thought of that. It's an action movie, after all. When you're in a life-and-death situation, in this case, about to be run over by a hummer, maybe you tend to run faster than normal.

I agree with the general sentiment behind the OP, but I have to say, I never thought the humvees were travelling at 45 - 50 m.p.h. They were after all carrying, to quote Deke, "thermo-nuclear weapons", on a rough as guts desert track. It wasn't exactly a freeway.🐭
