Don't you love how characters in action movies take however much (or little) damage as the plot demands, regardless of how much (or little) sense it makes? They get bashed, slashed, stabbed, and shot but arbitrarily either drop like flies or act like nothing happened.
So here's a rant about common inconsistencies and lack of internal logic in fighting scenes that confuse and irk the viewer, with examples from Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Universal Soldier 4, and the old Rocky films. Good old plot armor, eh?
