Movies in which someone throws something, hitting their target on the first try?
This has always kinda irritated me. I mean i understand why its done... to move the action along, and to be a sort of "miracle" or whatever... but just once, i'd love to see someone have to try a couple more times...

Anyway, the first one i thought of was Marty in Back to the Future III... hits the gun out of Mad Dog's hand first try with the Frisbee pie tin.

What can you think of?

Daredevil - Bullseye's "superpower" is that he never misses.

Dodgeball - Vince Vaughn blindfolds himself and hits Ben Stiller with the ball.

Zombie bastard! I was hoping to mention that. I believe it was Uncle Rico who scored a direct hit on Napoleon's dome with that piece of meat.

Odd thread but I love the moment in Ed Wood where Sarah Jessica Parker throws the frying pan and nails Depp in the back of the head as he runs away.

The six fingered man throwing the knife into Inigo Montoya. Bullseye was one of my childhood heroes and I always wished I could throw like that. It really ain't easy.

The entire plot of Knocked Up appears to be built around this premise.

He had a lot of practice bulls-eying womp rats in his T-16 back home, and they're not much bigger than two meters.


And also the force.
