Part of any fiction is the suspension of disbelief…you know…where you pretend like something totally ridiculous could actually happen, just to make sure you don’t ruin the intended mood of the movie or book.

From Playstation’s original Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid to Midway’s Mortal Kombat, this article details eight of the silliest situations that never would happen in real life…kind of like the movies when the bottle blonde knows the dude with the knife is in the basement, yet she just has to look.
