Your favorite movie cliche?

I have two:

1. Whenever a character is depicting carrying groceries, a minimum of one bag must contain a loaf of French bread sticking up out of it.

2. Bad guys always have enough money to afford fully automatic weapons. Furthermore, they attend special marksmanship courses to enable them fire perfect tight groups into the ground at the hero's feet, but not hit him.

Every military base has a group of soldiers/airmen/seamen/marines marching or jogging in formation.

spaceships going the speed of light never get blown to smithereens by space debris. The magical navigation computer can see 3 million miles ahead and plot a course around any obstacles. 😛

ANY vehicle, whether it's involved in a high speed chase or normal driving, will shift at LEAST 15 times.
I watched an episode of Viper(that terrible tv show) one time, and counted 27 shifts as they drove along the road. Now that is a transmission.

Bad guys always spell out their plans for world domination when they think they have the good guy beat... and not just in Bond movies.

 

[AlwaysWong]

When the good guy gets shot in the arm or leg, he/she doesn't seem to be in pain 20 minutes later.

1. No matter how congested the downtown area, there is always a parking place right in front of the destination.
2. No matter how busy the bar, there is always a seat available.
3. Silencers work on revolvers.
4. All magazines have 100 rounds.
5. Spaceships make noise while cruising.

The hero always gets the girl.

In car chases... they manage to do ungodly speeds without loosing control or crashing in to something and die! (most cases).

There are no ups or downs in space. In all sci-fi movies, spaceships are usually oriented in a like manner.

There is sound in space explosions, there is no sound in a vacuum.

edit: I will admit it would be pretty boring without the sound though, lol

Only true at 6am 😀

characters never stay wet into the next scene

"5. Spaceships make noise while cruising."

Yeah, space is a vacuum. Vacuum = no sound.

In the old western movies six round revolvers could fire at least 50 shots before reloading and the cowboy was able to pick off the indians, with his revolver, at 600 yards...from the back of a galloping horse....in the rain...with a wounded comrade riding behind him..with 2 bullets to the belly and one to the shoulder...while jumping his horse off a 200 foot cliff into a 3 foot deep river...and, just once, I'd like to see Rab get his as$ handed to him. Freakin' squid! Oops, sorry.
