This Supercut of One-Armed Saves in Movies Is Life-Affirming

1 minute read

Attention butterfingers, this video is not for you.

Ryan Holland and the filmmakers at Lucky Treehouse have tracked down 101 examples of the classic action-movie trope — the one-armed catch — and turned them into a mesmerizing supercut of life-saving stunts, all appropriately set to The Beatles’ “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”

Look for clips from Indiana Jones, Toy Story, Harry Potter, The Lego Movie, Batman, and many, many movies from the Arnold Schwarzenegger oeuvre. And while they aren’t all successful saves, they are all pretty cool looking.

While in reality a one-armed catch doesn’t seem likely to work — and even if it did everyone involved would surely end up with a dislocated shoulder – it sure is fun to watch in the movies.
