The Action Hero's Handbook is a Faux-To Guide giving tongue-in-cheek tips on how to live it up like your favorite big screen movies. As such, it hangs a lampshade on most action movie tropes. |

Starfish Aliens |
| The Action Hero's Handbook / int_31c5e7fb |
comment |
Starfish Aliens - The "communicating with ETs" chapter assumes the worst case scenario, but still holds out hope that even the weirdest aliens would be able to understand certain basic concepts (like numbers, shapes, etc.). |

Handy Cuffs - In the "How to Escape from Handcuffs" chapter, it advises you to manipulate events so that your hands are cuffed in front of you so you can break out of them easier, either via fast talking or by making sure your hands aren't so tightly cuffed behind you that you can't wriggle them through your legs. |
