Ever watched an action movie and realised "I've seen this whole thing before, in a hundred different ways"? Now you can turn action directors' unoriginality to your benefit, with a rousing game of Action Movie Bingo. Above is your bingo card (refresh the page to get a different one); as the movie continues, look out for the elements identified on your card and click them when they appear to mark them off.
If you get five in a row in any direction, stand up and shout "I AM JOHN McCLANE!" Alternatively, treat it as a drinking game, and take one shot for each element you see, downing the rest of the bottle if you get five in a row. For some movies, this will diminish the enjoyment; for others, it will simply numb the pain.
