More Annoying Movie Stuff

I caught a double feature of Steven Seagal's Under Siege movies on TV a while back. The first movie I've always enjoyed even if it is a little unrealistic. It's the second movie, Under Siege, Dark Territory that bugs me. It's not an escape this time, it's the way the bad guy dies twice.

The drama takes place on a passenger train in the Rocky Mountains. The bad guys take over the train to use as a platform to wrest control of two secret CIA satellites, Grazer One & Two. The bad guys have set then train is on a collision course with a huge train hauling gasoline and other fuel to kill all the passengers

They plan to escape via a Huey chopper with a rope ladder at the back of the train. After Casey Rybeck (Steven Seagal) does in all the mercs and gets the hostages safe he's faced with one last bad guy, Travis Dane a computer genius (played well by Eric Bogosian), the villain who dies twice. 

Dane is hugging a laptop with a cell phone attached. He tells Casey he has no way of stopping the satellite from completing it mission, blowing the reactor under the Pentagon. Casey shoots the cell phone and laptop, then Dane falls out of the window of the train moving at about 60 MPH or 96.56 KPH. Casey and his niece climb up to the chopper, already under the control of the porter Bobby Zachs (played by Morris Chestnut). As Casey closes the chopper door, guess who comes climbing up the ladder, Travis Dane????? Casey slams the door shut, severing Danes fingers and dumping him into the inferno he created.

Now consider this. The train is doing 60 MPH, that's a mile a minute. They are traveling through rough, rocky terrain. Dane fall out the window, wounded by the bullet, Casey put into the laptop. Hitting the ground at that speed would break most of, if not all the bones in your body. You think that's the last of the bad guy.

The scene continues, leaving Dane's smashed body at least two miles back if not more. The chopper's ladder never touched the ground. How does a man with bullet in his chest, and the bones in his body smashed, climb up a ladder he can't reach on a chopper at least two mile past where he hit the ground? 

The movie is has some mild entertainment value, but the ending destroys the whole film. 

Come on Hollywood, Dane died when he hit the ground. Stop with all these sleazy endings, just for the sake of a scene for the hero to look cool, he's already saved the world
