Add Some Humour
The Cliché: If you’re going to be on the wrong end of a heist and find yourself tasked with repelling the criminals, hell, why not have a little fun with it.
They say the best way to deal with a stressful situation is to laugh about it, and we’re not sure who they are, but we’re pretty sure they’re right, that’s why we keep a team of comedians close by, just in case.
Appears In: Home Alone (1994)
How To Recreate It: Watch every episode of Jackass and Dirty Sanchez, and all those similar videos on YouTube. Once you have a concept of the hilarity of human suffering, grab a staple gun and a pair of pliers.
Get the appropriate actor nice and lubricated, we’d recommend shots of Tequila, and then shout action.
Have your hero give the guy a good few staples to the forehead, chest area and if possible, testicles, then after he runs away, keep the camera rolling on your staple-adorned baddie as he rips them back out.
Hilarity.

Aliens is totally a heist movie in the same way that Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a heist movie. Team of experts gathered together to go after a valuable object, object ends up being more than any of them bargained for, people pay the cost for their greed. Just substitute alien xenomorph, highly valuable for its military applications for gold and bingo! Go back and read the article and see if Aliens doesn't match up point for point with the heist recipe.
