Thanks to the marvels of modern moving-making technology, you can make your actors look like they're fighting bad guys on a plane, a boat, or in the jungle. You can have an entire cast of peeps sipping a coffee brand that paid heavily to be featured in your film while fighting hordes of nightmarish villains that are, in reality, blocks of foam.

Shooting on location is pretty much a thing of the past. I mean, why risk doing something outdoors where you have zero control of natural elements, noise, and strange people crowding around, when you can easily throw up a bunch of green tarps in a warehouse with nice acoustics and call it a day?

What we're left with are scenes that are flat out hilarious.
