Most durable extras

So, this thread is kind of tongue in cheek, after another thread got me thinking. Every now and then, extras will actually display superhuman physical traits for the purposes of the plot. These are often throwaway characters, only used for a specific scene or sequence.

So, for example, we have the warlord from BvS who got sent through multiple walls by Superman. Yet based on the film narrative and some comments behind the scenes, we are supposed to believe he survived (unless they changed something with the extended cut, which I have not watched, and probably never will).

And then another example is that woman in the car that Thor saves in Age of Ultron. She was falling in that car for 12 seconds. Thor then literally throws her directly upwards with enough force that she gets back up to Cap in like 2 or 3 seconds IIRC. Her arm should have been torn off and/or her insides should have been turned to mush, realistically speaking. But she was totally fine afterwards.

So, can anyone else think of more examples?

The SWAT guy from Venom

This is actually a really good thread. Off the top of my head, multiple humans in Godzilla movies, I will have to look through some of em to find some good examples though. Let me think in this one.

The Hydra soldiers in the beginning of AoU... Who were getting punched, kicked and Mjolnired by Thor yet weren't getting pulverized.

Yeah Hulk threw one of those guys against a tree hard enough to bounce off but if you look closely you can see him get back up

Oh then two of those in TWS. There is this guy Cap kicked into a metal pipe hard enough to dent it - he not only got back up but came at Cap again. Then Batroc's assistant who got hit by Cap's shield throw which hit his head and then embeds itself into the metal wall behind him. Frankly he should've been decapitated

Another one is one of the Russian gangster bosses from DD s1. That guy was caught in an explosion, shot, beat up, slammed through multiple floors, and then still picked up a gun and made a last stand while Matt got away. Just the floor thing should have pretty much left him paralysed, even without the bullet still moving around inside him and his other injuries.

Any thug who got hit by Cage and got back up.

Those SHIELD/Hydra agents in the elevator with Cap.

I think the elevator scene was more a case of Cap holding back some, as he probably wasn't looking to send someone flying through the glass and plummeting to their death, several floors below. Because he didn't know who were actually HYDRA and who were simply mislead SHIELD agents at the time. Because, as we see during the climax of the film, a lot of agents only became aware of what was going on when HYDRA was already enacting its plan at the end.

That's what I'm talking about.

The kid who Hancock threw hundreds of feet straight up, then caught the kid with one arm. Should have been ripped apart going up, and again when caught. 😬

Oh and in Kickboxer retaliation the villain Mongkut slams this guy into a concrete wall hard enough to rmbed him in it but he was still fighting back

I haven't watched the newer Kickboxer films. The trailers for them looked really bad. Isn't the guy who plays the Mountain on GoT the villain in the last one?

Mountain = Mongkut...Raiden from Mortal Kombat was the fight promoter/real villain. Mongkut was just a big dumb savage fighter juiced and steroided and trained to superhuman levels basically.

Kickboxer retaliation is the only one of the series which I saw. It was okay. Nothing more

Wasn't that Batista?

That was kickboxer vengeance

Kickboxer: Retaliation is with Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson aka the mountain

Nah, that's Vengeance (2016). The latest one with Björnsson is from this year.
