Iron Man (2008)

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film Tony Stark's Hummer is ambushed. When the soldier sitting to Stark's left leaves the vehicle, closes the door and is immediately shot, many of the rounds fired at him puncture holes in the side of the car. If these rounds were powerful enough to punch holes through a flack jacket, the soldier's body and a car door, how is it that Tony Stark leaves the Hummer completely unscathed considering how close he is sitting to the holes they made? Given the distribution of the holes in the side of the car, he would almost certainly have been riddled with bullets and killed.

Correction: "Almost certainly" is not a mistake. As improbable as it seems, the bullets missed him. Since we cannot prove the trajectory of the bullets or that he was directly in their path, it is impossible to say that he must have been hit.
