Your single most annoying thing/mistake in a movie!

Anything military.

Climactic tank battle in The Battle of the Bulge from the 60s has to be the inaccuracy yardstick.

Takes place in a desert between two armies entirely composed of post war tanks.

Rather than in a snowy forest, and not between two armies entirely composed of post war tanks.

[ExV8]

Military again

Fury, the Tiger/Sherman battle - the Tiger would have been using range, God knows why they had them so close.

Then the end. A knocked out tank taking it a regiment/division- unbelievable.

Virtually every motorbike, that's being ridden in a film, has a completely different engine sound dubbed over it.
Vitually every motorbike, that's being ridden in a film, magically changes to a supermoto or crosser and then back again at least once in every chase sequence!

Please watch Glengarry Glen Ross and report back!

I've seen that film a dozen times. I'm a business development manager (sales rep) not a dodgy estate agent.

Now put that coffee down. Coffee is for closer only....

In general, obviously fake car steering - those scenes where they're filming looking back through the windscreen at the driver.

The amazing self repairing car.

Seems legit.

Assuming the link works, what possible purpose does a fire cog machine have? And why is it still running if everything is abandoned? And why is it so accessible as it looks a bit dangerous.

Wolf of Wall Street:

Margot Robbie "I've got no panties on" cuts to LDC looking up skirt and she very obviously does

[JustSomeBloke]

Cars the burst into flames when they get shot.

[DukeDickson]

Unless looking for a bit of 'them foreigners' comedy, or trying to sound futuristic, more or less every car is packing a somewhat meaty bent eight, with a 12 ,speed manual and girly speedo that signals impending doom at about the norm of the 3rd lane of any bit of our motorway network not yet destroyed by being managed.

Licence to Kill, 4:20 into this.

WTF? How many axles on the ground?

[Pesty]

Single nope a few annoyances

Tazers knocking people unconscious

Defibulators starting stopped hearts

fking clicking and racking noises anytime somebody pics up a gun. Also Antman with his hammer fired glock

[AW111]

Almost anything involving computers.
Too many offences to mention.

[glazbagun]

I promised myself I wouldn't get angry again. So this is everything wrong with Prometheus (it actually isn't).

This, from the new film, 13 Hours:



It was set in 2012.

[Esceptico]

Hard to pick a winner from such a long list.

I think Spectre - almost the whole film - has to be up there. Just relentlessly silly all the way through. I think finding a aeroplane (ready to fly and be stolen) at the top of a Swiss mountain stands out. As does the last scenes where they old HQ has been wired with explosives and just left like that for the weekend. Really? I'm sure that's what happens in real life. You cans imagine the conversation: "so we have finished wiring in the explosives, let's do it!". "Er, I've got to pick up my kids from school and meet the lads for drinks, let's just leave it like this over the weekend and take it up on Monday - I mean, what could possibly go wrong? H&S will be fine with it....."

Don't forget the leaving of several boats with the keys in the ignition under said building, or the base in the desert that explodes after a single gunshot, or the shooting down of a helicopter from the deck of a moving speed boat at night at 300m..... With a hand gun, or the fact that when Bond found out he had a 48 hour heads start before they could track him....... He drove to Italy (efficent use of time), or the fact that when there was an out of control helicopter barrel-rolling above them no body seemed particularly interested (didn't bother even looking up), or when Bond was chasing the baddies in his crashed plane with no steering they didn't simply turn left or right (must have watched Prometheus the day before or something)
I could go on, but I think you can probably guess I wasn't that keen. Skyfall and Quantom of solace are just as bad too.

As above really, actors don't move and carry themselves like soldiers regardless of the accuracy of the props etc... It's not their fault, just the way it is.

Imagine that in every sales rep film blockbuster the hero sales rep always wears a poorly fitting Burtons suit, with the top button of his shirt undone, and his tie at an odd angle. When he picks up a phone its either upside down, or held to his nose.

It'd be bang on the money then. What's your point.
