(#8) Jesse Walsh
- A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
When the powerful supernatural slayer Freddy Krueger specifically targets Walsh as his earthly counterpart, it's clear from the start that this kid has zero chance of making it out alive. Krueger spends the movie taking over Walsh's body and forcing him to commit more and more depraved acts until he literally rips out of his body.
It's unclear how the mechanics of Krueger's plan works, but he's a dream demon so a minimum of linear explanation isn't such a big deal, it's Walsh's ability to survive this onslaught that's mind-boggling. In the end, he survives through the power of friendship, but it seems more like luck than anything else that saved this teen.

(#2) Dwight 'Dewey' Riley
In a fair and just world, Dewey wouldn't have made it out of Scream alive and his sister Tatum would have at least made it to the sequel. Dewey is incompetent at best, and just straight up terrible at his job on his worst days. When Ghostface shows up and starts knocking off teens, he's more concerned with flirting with Gale Weathers than solving the case.
Somehow, his intelligent, cool sister winds up smushed in a garage door, and even though he's stabbed in the back and left without a medical care for hours, he not only lives through the film, but he survives through every sequel and becomes town sheriff by the fourth film. Talk about failing up.

(#4) Paxton
- Hostel: Part II, Hostel
It's clear from the moment that Paxton and his friends set foot in Europe that they're woefully unprepared for being in a foreign country, and if these guys can't handle making their way through clubs in Eastern Europe, then there's no way that Paxton can deal with a super wealthy cabal of psychos.
After he's captured by the group that brutally does away with tourists, Paxton is restrained and some of his fingers are removed. Paxton is locked in a torture chamber, bleeding out, and he lucks out when his manacles are accidentally released. He somehow makes his way through a basement filled with guards and people who are super excited to commit evil deeds, and he ends up making it home.

(#9) Casey Connor
At the beginning of The Faculty , Casey is a hapless nerd who can't speak to the girls he goes to school with and he sure as heck can't fight off an alien incursion. By the end of the film, he's one of the sole survivors of the Herrington High alien catastrophe of 1998.
In spite of being chased by the alien queen, nearly drowned, and having little alien worms put into his face, he manages to overcome his intense shyness and weakling status to become not only a final boy, but a cool guy. How this happens is lost on the audience. There's no training montage, no surprise reveal that he knows kung fu or that he's an alien from a different planet, it's just a fluke.

(#11) Alice
- Resident Evil: Extinction, Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Resident Evil: Retribution
If you’ve seen all of the Resident Evil movies, then you know that a lot of stuff happens to Alice over the course of the series. She survives a zombie onslaught, she’s genetically repaired, and she gains telepathy. By Afterlife, the third movie in the franchise, her powers fade which means that she shouldn’t be able to survive T-Virus zombies and soldiers within the Umbrella Corporation, but this is where luck factors in.
In the finale of Retribution (the fifth film in the series), she’s injected with a sample of the T-Virus, which returns her super powers. If that hadn’t happened, returning her to super Alice status, she’d be in a ditch by the climax of The Final Chapter.

(#7) Tommy Jarvis
- Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Jason Voorhess, the unstoppable, beefy, hockey-mask-wearing undead psychopath has mowed through scores of teens throughout the Friday the 13th series, but he never managed to take down Tommy Jarvis. Is it because Jarvis was so canny and ruthless that he could match Jason move for move, or was he just really lucky?
Jarvis first manages to avoid the slice of Jason's machete in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter by shaving his head and apparently appealing to the straight-up undead monster's sense of self. Jarvis basically confuses Jason long enough for his sister to deal a "final" blow to the monster. That's not even the luckiest move from Jarvis. In Jason Lives, Jarvis manages to wrap a chain attached to a large rock to Jason while the two fight on a boat. Jason throttles Jarvis so hard that they both fall in the water and Jarvis' plan to stick Jason to the bottom of Crystal Lake technically works out.
Jason drags Jarvis under the water with him so Jarvis has to play possum until Jason lets him go. To make it worse, Jarvis's love interest Megan actually deals a striking blow to Jason when she jumps in the boat, turns on its engine, and uses the propellers to slice into the monster's face.
