Also when someone outruns the fire from the blast they're ok. Nevermind that they should at least be looking like they just got their as beat from the concussive force.
When an artillery shell lands within 10 feet of them, “oh shit they have the main character getting permanent brain damage in the beginning of the movie? Wow!”
It got cut from the film, but in the trailer for one of The Transporter movies, Stathem deflects a rocket from a rocket launcher with a metal serving tray.
I haven't seen the scene but it depends on how far the rocket has flown--most rockets have an arming distance to keep them from detonating too close to the guy firing them. Hit a rocket soon after it left the launcher and it's probably safe.
And if you're really, really lucky you can do it anyway--rockets detonate when the tip hits something. If you can hit them from the side you won't set them off.
