Character has gun pointed at his head and thinks this is the time to get cocky
would you rather die crying like a pussy?
"Before you shoot me...you might want to check the safety."
*Bad guy checks safety to find it was already off but it's too late as the hero has disarmed him and is pointing the gun in his direction now*
all his problems will come to an end
i know that guy and he would. BETA!
Unironically the correct response. People are reluctant to shoot you if you’re cocky because it makes them think you know something they don’t. If you beg for your life, it confirms to them that they’re the ones in a position of power and thus have nothing to fear from killing you.
It did almost work
Fun with a variation.

I'm trying to watch an action film here, not second guess everything every two seconds, shit.
People are reluctant to shoot you if you’re cocky
No they shoot you even faster because they're annoyed with you
In this specific case his entire ruse depended on convincing Quaid that taking the shot would be inconsequential. He had no other way out.
The trick then is to get even more cocky, it really throws them off
now that I finally put a gun against your head let me tell you about my masterplan before I kill you
thats why you don't do this tactic when it comes to people sub-90 IQ, they are too impulsive and emtional. so for you, it wouldnt work --- you are too stupid.
the trick is to pretend you're already dead
im suicidal though so i wouldnt care
No, it's the most braindead response.
*record scratch*
you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation
People rarely kill for reasons as petty as annoyance, and anybody who is is so cold blooded that groveling wouldn’t save you either. If somebody is putting a gun to your head but hasn’t pulled the trigger yet, it usually means they want to see a specific reaction from you before they kill you. They want to see you scared and desperate because it validates that they won. If you don’t give them that, at worst you rob them of the satisfaction of a perfect kill, and best case scenario, they will hesitate because they are too curious to know how exactly you can be so self-assured in your current predicament.
Might aswell go out with a bang... OHHHHHHH get it!!!! Owwwphhh that hit hard what a zinger ! Im here all week guys and by week I mean forever.
Everybody’s got a plan until you put a gun against their head
You say this, but projecting cockiness even works on literal animals. A bear will not hesitate to maul you if you show fear, but stand your ground and act confident, and they’re like “shit what does this nigga know that I don’t know”.
I don’t understand how people can act confident the guy won’t shoot them. This shit is movie making bullshit every time. I’m not saying everyone would be pissy my their pants but the characters just know the guys not going to shoot them even if they really are in the plot. What the fuck?
and they’re like “shit what does this nigga know that I don’t know”.

You haven't been around many black people, have you?
AYO SQUEEZE IT NIGGA
good movie
You're a fucking idiot that's never watched Total Recall
Name a better time to act as confident as possible
when you are the one holding the gun
Sad!
That's the point. If he was simply placed in Quaid's "dream" he was therefore not real and wouldn't be nervous - but then he showed he was actually nervous as fuck because of his sweat.
If you're holding a gun to someone's head and not shooting immediately, you're obviously not confident and want something. You're basically begging for their approval in some form in the most extreme sense.
The fifth element is fucking great
if they kill you, you can't be embarrassed about it not working
but they could also do this

dream
I hate Americans so much it's unreal.
Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane
character has gun pointed at his head and thinks this is the time to get cocky
Why not, he wasn't really there.
fine, you just go ahead and have a psychotic break then doug
It's a hail mary in a bad situation
People rarely kill for reasons as petty as annoyance
You've never seen a black person, I take it?
