What's your greatest "I'm gonna try something I saw in a movie once" fail?

I think I was about 17 & got the bright idea to try an Indiana Jones & jump from the roof of my trailer & try to grab a branch with a bullwhip I bought from a $1 store & nearly pulled it off but $1 store bullwhips made of fake leather can't support 180lbs swinging from it. If ever I acquire a high quality whip I'm going for round two.

I yelled "Shazam". Still waiting for that lightning :p

Or once when I was like 5 I jumped three stories because I actually thought an umbrella could be used as a parachute & guess what....They can't be.

We have a hulk

And I'm sure we've all tried to do a Kamehameha or Hadouken at least once.

Nothing.

Most pick up lines from movies fail miserably in real life.

i was like 13 i tried to surprise my first gf by hugging her from behind, because that's what i always saw couples doing in movies and tv shows, so i go for it while she was talking to her friends but she freaks out and headbutt me in the face :(

Human centipede

I've been trying to move a light-sabre with my mind for 35 years now

Definitely tried using an umbrella as a parachute before.

And to this day, I still strain my mind trying to activate my latent telekinesis to move the remote

Don’t you worry, someday I’ll succeed.

@jooosh1996: lmao

On topic - all of the mild Jackass stunts

@dr_shenanigans: Same! But I was maybe 9. Saw Raider's Of The Lost Arc. Tried swinging from a chandelier my mom had.

Used a belt. The buckle touched the wiring since my weight pulled it free and the shock sent me flying off into a wall.

Only reason my parents didn't eff me up. I feel bad because we were kinda poor then and my dad worked really hard to buy her that thing.

I have seen D2 mighty ducks a million times but no matter how hard I try I am pretty sure the knuckle puck is physically impossible.

Don't think you can do it.

Know you can do it.

@bullpr:

Yes Master Yoghurt ?

I tried to do Goku’s Instant Transmission. Nothing happened obviously. Not a spectacular fail, but it’s the only one I tried to replicate.

When you try and see if it's possible to do martial arts like they do in movies and shit. Where everybody blocking and dodging each other's hits and it's hella synchronized.

Not gonna lie, I get type disappointed when I see dope shit happen in movies like crazy choreography in fights and stuff..... Then you watch an MMA fight or real life fight and see how slow paced and sloppy that shit looks in comparison lmao.

This. I did this once before. But I knew I was heavier than the umbrella, but this one time it was real windy and raining hard outside and I brought out my umbrella cause I was going somewhere. I was like 11 or something. And while I was out I was like "Oh yeeeah, let me try that one thing that they do in the movies!" Jumped up as high as I could and hoped the wind helped me float.

To this day I remember my butt-cheek bone hitting that concrete and my pants getting soaked cause of my dumb ass.

I once tried going full Indiana jones and swinging off a tree with a rope. It ended in one broken tooth, one damaged fence and three very angry neighbours.

So you basically became a human wrecking ball?

@dr_shenanigans:

Yes, except, wrecking balls don't break their teeth.

Get bitten by a spider to become Spider Man

What post 7 said. I literally cant recall the last time I came close to anything

I tried to be like Marlon Brando's character from "The Wild Ones".

Lets just say . . .Oof.

I didn't try anything from the movies because I was not retarded.
