Stupid film cliches

[singlecoil]

You must know what I mean, the same silly stuff seen in film after film.

For instance, it's the middle of winter, the character enters a house, but doesn't close the door behind him.

The hitman assembles a sniper rifle, the telescopic sight is seperate from the barrel. No ranging shot, very first shot smack on target.

The main characters run from an explosion or a building bursting into flame (often used as a publicity still).

The main character arrives at his or her place of work, often an open plan office, everybody else is already there.

Character gets into a car and drives off, doesn't need to start the engine.

Feel free to add more.

That reminds me, people operating a computer, always having to type everything, no mice in action

Well known ladies who are known for not displaying their shirt puppies will have sex wearing a bra or slip. Later they will be shown relaxing in bed with bare shoulders, but with the sheet pulled up.

In space, the ship can be so badly damaged that it is virtually falling apart. There's one thing that NEVER NEVER fails though, and that is the artificial gravity.

People killed by suspension hanging will die within a few seconds.

In situations where several people have guns, nobody seems concerned that they might get accidentally shot in the back by one of their own side.

Suitcases seem very light.

One person points a revolver at somebody else. Other person is not quick enough to do as asked. First person then pulls hammer back on gun. Second person then complies with request.

People can be rendered unconscious with a single blow from any convenient object, even a vase which breaks into a thousand pieces on contact will knock a heavily built person out for 30 minutes.

I think just about every movie cliché ever was neatly covered by Last Action Hero. A very underrated film.

Very underrated indeed

Not underrated by me, who's been underrating it then?
