No chance!

You know in Alien when the monster blood went through 7 decks of reinforced steel like it was molten lead and they were made of polystyrene?

But didn't actually manage to breach the hull of the Nostromo?

That was because it just happened to drip onto a single holly leaf that just hap't to be there.

You get the picture?

You know in Fistful of Dollars the bit when the Stranger walks down the street saying, 'the heart Ramon, you gotta shoot the heart' and Ramon shoots the Stranger, supposedly in the heart, with his huge gert fbo rifle, but the Stranger just gets up again, brushes off the dust, puts his hat back on and carries on?

'The heart. Ramon...'

And you know in the bit before that when the Stranger is in the abandoned mine making a piece of metal into a piece of armour to hide under his poncho?

Well that was demanded to be put in for dramatic purposes by the Hollywood Bignobs; in the original - and indeed also in the rarely seen directors cut - the Stranger just casually picks a couple of holly leaves from a tree and slips them into his shirt breast pocket as he makes his way into town for the showdown.

True story!
