He just stood there and took it. Better reflexes would be good if you're going to stand on an outside corner at a race...especially an amateur or powder puff race where you expect bad driving.

Kitty reflexes are so fast, he can catch soundwaves in his paws.

up-vote for satanic larynx and reflex-fear of Koch

esports - fat body, fast reflexes.

That guy has some quick reflexes. He spotted the water and ducked while it was mid-air and half way there.

Oh.
My.
GURD.

First of all, Mr. and Mrs. VooDooV, please, do this little experiment for the entire group and speak aloud the way you responded to my last block of text...
INTO A MIRROR-

The same Gastroesophageal reflex is encountered when proposing an argument to someone who refuses to engage in argument:

How many times have you heard the following statement by someone so eloquently clueless about what it is that's being discussed? "Well if you don't like it here, then why don't you move to Russia!?!

Or with a born-again Christian, OR rabid Atheist when their storehouse of personal illusion is dashed against the rock-hard crags when they wander too near an unfamiliar shoreline? Sounds something like this:

"Well, I believe I the way I do because with your way of thinking, you could go to hell but I can be sure this way that I am going to heaven!" -(quickly followed by ego-driven denial, then ostracization)

I refuse to engage quite simply, because you have like I have so many times before in my frustration with idiots and imbeciles, punks and thugs (and government insects employed by the state), showed the world your ass-card.

I'll admit everything I've been accused of when in the initial heat and frustration of being misunderstood I go off half-coked and wax mean-But here, and recently as I've conducted the experiment with vehement far-left liberal shit-thinkers, those who accuse e of foul-play remain solid in their own denial THAT THEIR SHIT STINKS!

Get it? All shit stinks mate, that the shitter doesn't realize it is not the concern of another shitter.

Those long balloons will compact into your mouth pretty easily when they aren't blown up to capacity-Otherwise she suppresses her gag reflex and fills her esophagus, easy-peasy-Not hard for anyone with a bit of practice- Whoa, raw vegan and practitioner of chaos magick...What a gal, eh??

Human reflex response arc is like, what, 100 millisecs? So 1/10 second, so 27.2 feet before you even have a chance of a reflex intervening. And the reality is the you need at least a couple of seconds to actually process visual information and make a decision. Agree---the biker is insane.

Full story on this? That looked like a real deleted scene, but if it was that would suggest that there was a pretty major script rewrite after filming that bit.

The best explanation I can muster is that it was largely a real deleted scene, but that Jar-Jar actually jumped out in the real version, and this is a fan-made edit that cut out that escape and/or CGI'ed him back into the vehicle as it went over the brink. Or I guess possibly it is all real and they were going to have him meet up with the group again later after miraculous surviving the fall -- gungan reflexes or something (hey, the film has midichlorians, so why the hell not).

If it is a fan-edit, they did one hell of a job, and started from footage I've never seen.

EDIT:
I googled around and came up empty. This video and blurbs about it are making the internet rounds, but nobody seems to say anything other than that it is a deleted scene and it was probably cut for "creating too many plot holes"...

That seems like a pretty huge understatement to me. Ignoring the fact that Jar-Jar appears (briefly) in Eps 2 and 3, he plays a pretty major role with a lot of screen time in the Gungans vs Droids portion of the final 3-way battle sequence at the end, which happens well after where this scene would appear in the movie (right?).

Plus, Ep. 1 is very clearly a kids movie, and it would be pretty dark to kill off your comic relief / slapstick character halfway through the movie.

Maybe they had some early warning from focus groups that Jar-Jar was going to be ... not exactly well received and decided to film this just as a joke or even to play it for those focus groups and see their reactions?

Very weird. Not that I mind seeing Jar-Jar die, but I'm quite puzzled by this!

The magic of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in action.

I've watched this about 20 times now and the strength, will, presence of mind, reflexes, talent, just ... wow.

That's great, your reflexes are in line with survivability.

That said... I used to spend time with people learning to do handstands, and I've seen people do a lot of *very* weird things when they start to fall over from. I've done some stupid stuff myself in that situation. Once, I think I fell onto my shoulders, then rebounded via a kind of backflip onto my feet. I think it's one of those things some people learn readily, and others have a hard time wrapping their head around. Hilarity may ensue.

Anyway, going further off-topic: if you want to learn to do a handstand, my recommendation is to start with learning how to fall from one!

A millisecond away from some serious chin-music, awesome catch! He lay there reveling in his own reflex and instinct and the sheer, WTF-just-almost-happened of the moment.

It seems as though he didn't even use any part of his brain for that movement. It looks like a pure reflex action originating in his spinal cord. That stuff has to take years to develop... Insane.

the handshake did it. reflexes kick in with a handshake, caught Silva off guard. Then he showed the top of his head (very non-Alpha) and had to make it up by getting all up in Weidman's grill.
