RAILING DEATH
As illustrated in MST3K episode, #820 [i]Space Mutiny[/i]. In any fight/chase scene, bad guys getting tossed over the side of of the catwalk/very-high-place. If this involves stumbling over a railing, this is known as railing death.

THE IMPERIAL STORMTROOPER ACADEMY OF MARKSMANSHIP
In said firefights, all badguys will miss. The less clothing the heroes wear, the less likely they will be hit by badguys.

SCREAMING FEMALES
Not so common these days. Useless female that only screams during stressful situations. As illustrated by Tess Trueheart on [i]Star Trek: Voyager[/i]. That’s why Zev/Xev is so cool!
