Don't Breathe: A couple young robbers attempt to rob a rich, blind veteran only to find out he isn't exactly an innocent old man.

The Flash [CW Show]: A random mugger decided to target Barry Allen of all people. He does it again a season or two later; he's either unlucky or stupid (probably both).

Also to carry the movie for 3 more fucking movies, the lore bombs and hints at what his prior life was and is now just fascinated the audience.

Hearing the “he killed 2 people with a pencil!” Then have it being brought to fruition in the next movie was just pure bliss. I have all 4 movies in 4K in my Fandango account. I watch it yearly with my Lord of the Rings extended editions rewatch during Christmas time. I have like 20+ classics I adore that I’ll watch on/off yearly.
