Poor Bastards of Cinema: ROTOR (Part 3)

 As a reminder, helping someone in need doesn't always pay off.

In ROTOR, our Heroine continues to flee the Android Assassin (after her for a speeding violation made by her Boyfriend/Fiance).

She flees outside of a Diner and runs into a Truck Driver, who is happy to get out and help.

This guy doesn't back down as ROTOR has a gun drawn on him too.

Thank you, Texas?
He gets shot by ROTOR...
…but still manages to shoot him after he hits the ground.

He also manages to seem more annoyed than, you know, in pain from his bullet wound.
On the plus side, a Poor Bastard at least manages to look kind of good here.

Let's be honest- he probably dies from that untreated wound (assuming that ROTOR doesn't shoot him again off-screen).

The lesson- armed or not, don't help people.  This 'good guy with a gun' didn't end up well.


Next time, a random death (with plot ramifications) leads to a Poor Bastard.  Maybe don't rush out to check on people next time, honey.  See you then...
