Halloween Video Crypt

These days, I don’t think you will find an action movie that does not include the phrase, “GO, GO, GO!!!” screamed out by a character in full flight motion.  And you’ll probably hear this shouted several times more throughout the stock chase, pursuit, frantic action sequences that clog up these crazed action vehicles.  Is it an entitlement to the action film scripter to include this chestnut multiple times amidst all the sweat, smoke, fire and explosions?  I guess it must be.  Everyone else includes it.  Why don’t I?  It is most certainly a cliché lazily included because what else would someone say who is running away from or toward a calamitous situation?  How about:  How do I get out of this alive?  I am sure it occurs in a movie the likes of The Mummy Returns.  A lot people running around, shooting guns and cracking jokes at the same time.  Ugh.  BTW – DOOM (2005) is a main offender of this fine tradition.  LOL!
