What Would You Do in a Life-or-Death Struggle?

Speaking of the gorilla vs 100 men thing. I saw a guy at a pride parade with a shirt that read: I'm not a gorilla, but I can beat of 100 men.

The day of the shoot had arrived. The swordsman (British stunt actor Terry Richards) had been training for months. The problem was that the shoot was way past its schedule, and producer Frank Marshall felt the need to intervene somehow. Also, the entire crew was suffering from dysentery, as Tunisia wasn't exactly friendly in regards to sanitary conditions. Harrison Ford was among those who couldn't stay away from the toilet for more than a few minutes, and he was feeling especially bad that day.

So when it came time to film the highly choreographed and prepared scene, a spur-of-the-moment decision was made to have Indy just shoot the guy instead. It wasn't intended to happen that way, and yet it went on to become one of the most iconic Indiana Jones scenes.

Get a load of this guy, everybody! Film buff! Lol.

Granville, if true, that is really remarkable. And that shot (I do not use the term "scene" intentionally, because it's not a scene in technical film jargon; it's a "shot") is way more than most iconic in Indiana Jones series. It's one of the most iconic in all of film. Even dummies most often know where they saw it.

I still find this comical that some are still “debating” what they’d do in a street brawl 1 versus 4 or 5 or 6+……or even 1 v. 3.

Each AND EVERY one of you would run and/or try to talk your way out of a shitty situation.

No one, NO ONE, is going “baboon.”

Go “baboon” and those guys WILL KILL you.

I think it's more of an instinct thing that would give a wild animal the advantage.

I had a good round with a family of possums once, I still recall the details.

Similar vivid memory from an encounter with two feral hogs in the central Texas mesquite scrub. I was about 13-14 and was hunting red-eared turtles a couple of weeks before a bass stocking. Walked up on two tusked out hogs rutting near the water’s edge.

All parties were surprised. I was scared. They were pissed.

Thankfully, a couple of post oaks (maybe blackjack) were mixed in the mesquite, and within about three steps I was hanging from branch with a couple of pigs squealing and grunting on the trunk. Managed to pull myself up to a couple of branches about seven feet off the ground - just far enough to be out of reach, but close enough to feel distinctly in danger. All I had was a single shot .22 with low powder rounds. Popped one off and saw it ricochet off a pig’s forehead. Fortunately, a cousin was about 50 or so yards back and was able to hit one broadside with a .22 - apparently that was just enough hurt for them to run off.

I was done fucking around on that piece of property, permanently.

Started life on a farm and worked construction all my life .Got in the habit of carrying a knife and a way to make a fire when I was about eight. I have a small Swiss Army knife for versatility like bottle opener, screwdrivers and such as well as the blades. I have a small Buck three blade folder because, as usual, a dedicated tool is better for a single job is better than a multipurpose one. I also have a folding Buck for heavier cutting chores. I regularly used all of them on the job and still do to a lesser extent in my daily gardening.

Plus you can cut some fools. If you needed to.

They're going to kill you anyhow.
