In the crescendo of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, the caped crusader, played by Christian Bale, gets stabbed under his body armor. Fortunately for movie fans everywhere, this allows Indy to make it back to his waiting seaplane and rise to movie immortality. We see volleys of razor-sharp arrowheads go in every direction except toward Indiana Jones. Luckily, these fearsome tribespeople went to the stormtrooper’s weapon-aiming academy! Presuming that they depended on their bow skills to survive from the moment they could walk, all sense of spatial awareness now goes out of the window. This is swiftly followed by Jones running for his life through the jungle, pursued by a tribe of heavily armed warriors. In the iconic opening scene, we see Jones surviving an array of poison darts, miraculously well-engineered ancient booby traps, and Nazi treasure hunters. It’s another one of Harrison Ford’s trademark sprints from the ranks of foes which I’ve selected for closer inspection.

In the end, it’s Voldemort himself who saves Harry by thinking he alone should finish him off. If that wasn’t enough, the most powerful wizard in the world is leading them and is determined to take more than merely school lunch money from young Potter.

And as their name suggests, dispatching their enemies is right at the top of the death eaters’ C.V. He’s fourteen and surrounded by death eaters. To say the odds were against him is an understatement. Of course, the hero is used to close shaves, but he shouldn’t have made it out alive from this one. After the Triwizard Tournament, Harry and Cedric become cornered in the graveyard by the one who shan’t be named. In the Goblet of Fire (2005), directed by Mike Newell, Harry finds himself yet again in a life-and-death situation.
