The Pyro

Rhino wrote on Mar 16, 2012, 10:13: As an archer I'm slightly curious to see just how many ways that there are to show "arrow slamming into a guy" in a cinematic fashion. Our hero stoops in the cover of dense foliage and draws his bowstring taught. A dark hood shields his eyes from the high noon sun, casting his face in shadow as he lines up the shot. With a gentle and almost casual precision, the string is released and the arrow springs from the bow. We see now from the arrow's perspective as it races toward its mark. Only the target is in focus; all else is a blur. Caught completely unaware, the victim stands almost motionless until the arrow connects with his flesh. Then the pain hits him. "GAAAHHH! MY KNEE! WHY IS IT ALWAYS IN THE KNEE!"
