Some one wanted to know the rules as laid out by Mr Gardner.
It has been 10 years since I read it, but here goes.
The hero will not be killed. If he is in serious trouble,
the cavalry will arrive in the nick of time.
The sidekick might die in order to give the hero an excuse to go psycho
on a revenge killing spree.
(Most of the plot of the book involves the main character trying
to find out whether he is a hero or a sidekick. the rest of the plot
involves trying to rescue the fat man without whom the cinevaerse is in trouble.)
The town drunk is always a crack shot when he gets sobered up.
That is about all I can remember. However for your edification please find below
my list of the unwritten rules of life.
