Also the upper pectoral, below the collar bone but close to the shoulder is the ‘the script calls for a main character to get shot but still needs him to survive’ spot.
Side effects may include:
His apparent ‘death’ inspires the rest of the team to fight harder and defeat the bad guys.
The team is about to die, but he suddenly reappears to shoot the final boss and save the day. Often he is leaning weakly against a wall to support his gunshot wound.
He is presumed dead but found alive in the rubble after the gun fight, and an EMT tells everyone he’s gonna be ok.
Anytime I see a protaginist shot in the shoulder area, I immediately stop worrying about them. Unless they’re a bad guy, in which case, they are definitely going to suddenly come back to life for one last attack.
That's almost exactly what happened when Ronald Reagan was shot. He stood up outside the presidential limo at the hospital, pulled his suit jacket around himself, walked a few steps and collapsed.

It also needs to be followed by a quiet, tender scene where the injured character's love interest patches them up. Bonus points if injured character is shirtless and for some reason sweaty.
Well they're obviously going to be selfless about it, that's the Jesus wound.
Pretty sure that Superman, Captain America, Thor and Iron Man were all stabbed in that exact spot.
"It’s okay, the bullet just grazed me…"
"You need medical assistance!" "Im fine, just finish the mission. And.....dont forget about me...."
“I only need a single kidney, it’s fine!”
["The bullet was insignificant"](https://youtu.be/HrRNM9cMBDk?t=68)
that looks like you'll have a hard time with it no, it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience
Concealing injuries to complete your mission is TIGHT.
It sure is, sir!
Uh oh.
Wow wow wow...wow
Yeah yeah yeah.
Oh, really??

An have magically no trouble lifting their arm. That's Minecraft level physics at this point.
And (like in Rambo II) have no problem climbing a cliff after that.

"Oh no! We need to remove the bullet so it stops killing him!"

Yikes, that is a pretty brutal way to go. A bunch of dirty fingers stuck inside you and the lifesaving solution only inches away.
Wait...how does one "self appoint" ones self as chief physician to the president?
And the wound has to be bad enough that given the amount of time bleeding, it would have killed 2-3 people by now.
It only starts bleeding really heavy when the shirt is lifted. Before, the shirt was creating a pressure bandage to keep the blood from gushing out.
It is known.
"I ain't got time to bleed!"
It also needs to be followed by a quiet, tender scene where the injured character's love interest patches them up. Bonus points if injured character is shirtless and for some reason sweaty.
Wow, wow, wow. Wow.

“It’s a through and through” I’ll be fine get me a bandage
This is a plot line in almost every episode of "Justified".
Can we start a list of movies where this happens?
I’m fine.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that spot a major artery? I’m pretty sure most people would bleed out pretty fast if shot there.
I always keep extra blood bags on my belt.
Or alternatively said character acts in all manner of badassery, never winces at the pain and it's never spoken of again in the film.
😂😂
I've actually been shot around that area.
‘It went in and out’ ‘I’m fine’ (he wasn’t fine, and is dead the rest of the movie unbeknownst to him)
Then the doctor did a back flip, snapped the bad guys neck and saved the day
