Principle of Evil Marskmanship
bestofwikipedia:
The Principle of Evil Marksmanship (also known as the Stormtrooper Effect) states that enemy marksmen in action films are often very bad shots and almost never harm the main characters. Imperial Stormtroopers in the original Star Wars trilogy, despite overwhelming numbers, professional military education and training, full armor, military-grade firepower, and noticeable combat effectiveness against non-speaking characters, were incapable of seriously harming or indeed even hitting the film’s protagonists.
