Why can't i see the good guy catch a bullet from shooting the door he's standing one meter from shooting the deadbolt.
Seriously... just seems like such a poor idea.

Because he's the good guy.
Just like the bad guy can't hit someone five feet away in a hallway with an MP5 and an bottomless mag.

Movies are fake. No, really, they are.
It is a poor idea but hollywood BS aside, a typical handgun ricochet is (statistically) unlikely to cause serious injury unless it catches you in the eyes/face/neck. Occasionally dramatic ricochets causing serious injury happen, but those are usually up there in lottery ticket range. I took a 230 gr .45 ACP ball round to my wrist deflected from a target about 20 feet away and got nothing more than a nice bruise out of the ordeal.

Based on this video, something should happen...

A bullet will never bounce straight back at you. Almost never. Like mike said, at handgun velocities its not a worry anyway.
If you ever get the chance to shoot a suppressed handgun with subsonic ammo, you will find that you CAN hear the bullets ricochet just like in the movies. Its actually a little crazy. Pop . . pewwwww.

Same as me, except caught it in the stomach. Couple inches lower and we would be talking pain.

Well Angelina Jolie bends bullets in Wanted so. I'll keep trying to do that.

Don't forget the squealing tires on dirt roads. That one always bothers me.

If you think about it, the average rifle bullet is running 3x the speed of the average pistol bullet. So there is much more energy left after it hits something.
I've never seen anyone's skin broken by a handgun ricochet. I've been present when a rifle bullet drew blood once. It hit my friend in the forehead.

I got hit by a ricochet from a 9mm on a steel plate at 25 yards that drew blood. Granted, it hit me in the ear, and it was a pretty small nick, but it did technically draw blood. I assume it was a bit of jacket with a sharp edge that hit me.
Same while doing a pin shoot, came back and hit me square in the knuckle. Didn't break the skin, but some how, it broke my finger from about 10 yards out. Good thing I was wearing gloves.
When ever I hear of ricochets, I always thing of this video:

I have seen wounds from handgun ricochets but they're mostly from discarded jackets, although slugs coming back leave some nice welts. I've also witnessed 2 different guys in 10 years at bowling pin matches take a "returning" .45 slug to their junk.
