Just make films where there's a simple and obvious explanation and reduce the film running time accordingly.
Like Steven Soderbergh's CONTAGION?

...any movie about a group of "rebels"...uh, rebelling against a dystopian regime will have a outsider character introduced into the group who -- either intentionally or not -- ends up leading the bad guys to their secret lair, resulting in the inevitable scene where the lair is invaded by faceless thugs as they gun down or arrest the heroes, with maybe a handful escaping imminent death or incarceration? See Total Recall and the Disney version of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame for good examples.
You mean the Life and Times of Judas Iscariot.
Total Recall was better.

That fall business in john wick 3 palrabelllllum (wasnt sure how many Ls so chucked some extras in) bothered me too, bloody ridiculous. Any fall like that would squelch any human.
I think someone in here also commented about falls where they land in a rubbish skip and the black bags are always full of soft cushions n spongey rubbish, never the bits of wood from behind my shed.

Yeah, I saw The Hitman's Bodyguard over the weekend (on TV), not great, & Samuel L Jackson (after getting shot in the leg & digging out the bullet himself) has to escape from the top of a building, there's a skip full of black bags across the road & Jackson leaps from the building to the other side of the road (?), crashes into the side of some scaffolding, hits some more scaffolding, hits a wall & lands into the skip...laughing. All this stuff is beyond cartoon now, it makes Lethal Weapon look like a documentary (& thinking of Lethal Weapon, #4, Riggs is hanging from a building, & they wheel a big skip full of black bags to break his fall).
...thinking about it, I've never seen a skip full of soft black bags, it's always hardcore & bits of wood, & maybe an old pram.

You hit a scaffold pole half way down after a thirty foot drop its gonna snap you in half.
Bounce off and hit another one you are gonna snap in 4.
You are not going to sit up just a "bit achey" like a wrestler threw you across the canvas and then hobble off down an alley.

The only exceptions are scenes where the women thrash the men without breaking a sweat.
