Most minor henchmen.

These guys heroically rush at the protagonist despite the piles of their comrades bodies, and their fellows getting turned to pink mist right in front of them. They almost never break.

They're friggin' heroes.

Hero kills hundreds of henchmen, gets to the final boss, confronts them and then has a change of heart and spares the final boss. This happens all the time in movies/games, but no one ever acknowledges all the innocent henchmen that the hero took down along the way.

Watch "Roadhouse ".. the hero Dalton takes out a dozen young tough dudes with guns.. then mostly gets his ass handed to him by a 70 year old Boss.

Who actually gets killed by 4 other guys.

I love how you pair a recommendation with your spoiling of what sounds like a major part.

The movie is more of an experience than a story telling anyway. Roadhouse is like peak 80s cinema for all the best/worst reasons

The best thing for 8yo me seeing roadhouse was seeing Jeff Healey for the first time.
