I get it

Then the craziest thing happened. A golden retriever walked up to me with a stick. He put it in my lap and I faded out in a blinding white light. I woke up with my arm bandaged in a brightly lit, but eerily silent room. I try to move my arm. "Shit." I reach over with my other arm and push the button to tilt up the powered gurney. "The fuck..." as I sit up and look more closely, my arm has actually been converted into a fully mechanical cyborg arm with what appears to be a modified belt fed StG 44 mounted to it and loosely wrapped in bandages. As I wince in pain, the door flies open. Two thugs dressed in black barge in holding a scruffy doctor by the collar. One points his pistol at me. "There's that motherf--" an eruption of gunfire occurs. I look to my left and there's a smoking hole in bed pillow behind me.

After the smoke clears all three men lay on the ground. I drag myself out of bed and kneel at the doctors side. He has a wound in his abdomen. "Your friend.. they have him.... And his family" he says with some effort. "Where?" I demand. He points to one of the slain thugs. A phone protruded from his hip pocket. I unlock it with his thumb print. GPS coordinates. I stand up, the sound of spent shells rolling on the ground and my new arm whirring. Looking at it, I know what I must do now. I pick up the ammo bag next to the bed and sling it over my shoulder and walk out the door.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done.

Nah, I'm staying behind to get as many spite kills as possible!

Yeah I am definitely not eating lead for someone else's kids.

According to one of my brothers, this theme is where Santa got his colors.

Ah if it isnt my high school English teacher

Mrs. R! I thought you had too much to mark before the end of the term! What are you doing schooling people online?

Is that not normal?

You don't want to detonate the explosives while you're still dangling from the bridge pylon because the enemy army is advancing and there's not enough time to get away safely before they cross?

Many pieces of film/TV have scenes where a guy has been mortally wounded doing something for the greater good and then bleeds out in a scene like this. It's like a melancholic righteous death

Blade Runner 2049 reference maybe?

Composite 2 shots maybe? You would have to be sure to map routes in and out of the scene and then make sure the action doesn't cross those routes.

Say fix it in post 3 times. Then shoot clean plates and hope the studio has a vfx budget.

For the justification for no footprints, you could have it in the script that the one dying fell into place. Fighting atop a crane, in a helicopter, or whatever. Seems appropriate for the kind of film that would end with a nice shot like that anyway. For the practical side, simply catapult the actor into position.

Is that Lady Snowblood? I still need to watch that

What you mean by bad man? unless you're committing war/ sex crimes... try therapy, drugs or changing your gender. It's sad that people daydream about that but also kinda delusionally narcissistic, like in a way that could benefit from therapy or just talking to a single other person

Kinda like the Somerton Man although he died having a cigarette on the beach, leaving behind a coded message and a possible illegitimate child. 

No

With what money

Not Constantinople?

Not Constantinople?

My second home and I didn't recognize it. /blushes

Edit: then again, resolution sucks and this could be anywhere, really.

It's possible to do two things with one's life.

Bleed out

If I go numb, I can't feel it right?

(not a dude, but still)

I'm sure the wound will just freeze closed right?

Watch Blade Runner 2049 and make believe that you're a real boy.

Ah yes, the best way to counter the misoginists: misandry

Yikes

Is there some sarcasm I'm missing?

That's a yikes

No thanks, I'd rather get vaporized by a neutron star, I had enough man stuff. Let's trade!

How nice of your gender
