Bullets and mobile phones! Is there anything common there? Probably, you didn't think so, but truth be told, there is. Just like in some utterly hilarious Bollywood filmy sequences where a fired bullet got accidentally stuck in a random object, life copies fiction for real. Read on to find out how.
Recently, a man tweeted a real life incident where a simple looking Nokia handset saved his life in a surreal incident. A bullet was fired toward the direction of a Microsoft General Manager, Peter Skillman in Afghanistan when he had absolutely no idea. Luckily for him, the Nokia 301 handset came in between and the bullet accidentally hit the mobile phone in Peter's pocket where the bullet got embedded, thus saving his life.
We have seen several movies, often sci-fi stuff and from other action related genres where the hero evidently saves his life by standing up bravely to a barrage of bullets. Yes, most funny incidences have been dramatized in ludicrous Bollywood movies even if Keanu Reeves' in Matrix is instantly reminded in such a sequence.
In this utterly bizarre Bollywood sequence, the grand icon of action, Dharmendra is seeing boldly 'catching' a fired bullet from a very close distance. Unluckily for the villain, it' his bad day and not even a bullet could hurt the legendary hero.
This kind of stuff can actually happen in the most weird movies. Superstar Vijaykanth is so horribly scary even to a bullet in the film 'Captain' that the bullet hits him on the chest and bounces back toward the baddie to cause damage. Yeah, you read that right! Now see the action.
In full blown up action territory, Mithun's movies are one that provide exciting entertainment. In this raucous action drama titled 'Kismetwala', it is lord Shiva' Trishul that defends Asha Parekh from a bullet fired from a close range. And this happens, not just once but thrice, would you believe it?
If it's Rajnikanth, the world's most elite defence forces go into hiding, for such powerful is his aura. So, what is a bullet for him? Nothing, as seen here in a clip from Sivaji where a glass of cold-drink concedes the bullet fired at him.
Our most infallible action hero, there are a few things that can hurt Akshay Kumar, such as a lady love who turns him down. But when it comes to bullets, they simply crumple into dust, causing 'Akki' no harm whatsoever. He catches them with his bare hands, unbelievably in this clip.
Our greatest demi-god of screen, Mr. Bachchan, not even a bullet can hurt him. This emphatic action sequence from the much loved film Coolie is the solid proof. The religious cloth manages to eschew the bullet fired at Mr. Bachchan, for reasons best known to film-makers.
Amitabh Bachchan in this legendary classic is seen protected from a fired bullet that gets stuck to his 'badge'; badge number 786 which saves the hero in him.
