Assault rifles/pistols in films;

• everlasting rounds in a magazine
• pistol guy always beats the assault rifle
• continuous muzzle flash
• ’making ready’ more than once

There are a few good films where you see people changing magazines but not many.

Since time immemorial in films, watching a car arrive after a journey with vapour coming out of the exhaust of a cold engine. And yes to the sawing the wheel, and drivers talking to their passenger and not watching the road.

The cold engine one is something I'm forever noticing as well.

I know it’s another film related one AND THIS THREAD IS NOT JUST ABOUT FILMS AND CARS BUT..
Really slow police cars catching up a fast car and then keeping with it

When someone starts a PH thread which is pretty much identical to a long-running one.

When somebody points out something they were blissfully unaware of and considers his chips well and truly pisved on
Of course the forum, god forbid, may have had some new members who were also unaware
Have a nice day from a relative new member who will make sure to troll the archives just in case he brings something up from years past.

My apologies, I thought we were in The Lounge where "Things that annoy you beyond reason" was started around 1674.

As to things that bother me in the world of TV and Films, my answer is Sean Bean.

You are forgetting the 12-shot revolver in all the westerns

Lol that Yorkshire tea advert winds me up, like why do all Yorkies need to make so much fuss about being Northern ?

Chris Harris.

He falls into the category of people who clap themselves on tv, which should carry the death penalty. Harris is a big one for this, when they show one of his films on Top Gear, cut back to the studio, and he joins in the clapping with the audience. tt.

People do it on quiz shows two, when they get the right answer and join the audience in the clapping. Utter morons.

Every time the bd Nissan advert comes on and the bloke says “ok google send work blah blah” and my google pipes up and yells “I’M SORRY I CAN’T DO THAT RIGHT NOW” I want to set fire to every Juke I can find.

Just tell it that from now on it is to answer to the name 'Siri'.

Guaranteed it will never speak to you again

Lighting petrol with a discarded cigarette/cigar. Absolutely won't happen and bothers me every time

Would it not ignite? Diesel no but petrol surely would?

Tried it many times, its never worked! Believe it or not you can extinguish a cigarette in a cup of petrol

After watching White House Farm on Netflix, it did strike that all of the 1980s period cars were like new. Super clean and no rust or dents.

Sadly there don't appear to be many mid 80's snotters about these days.

Lovely period cars get used quite appropriately but they never have even a spec of dust on them.

I know this one. It's for continuity as scenes are shot out of order, so it's much easier for the car to always be spotless rather than a bit of dirt here in this scene which then needs to be exactly replicated six weeks later when shooting the following scene in the film/program.

Mick Gould (ex 22 SAS) was heavily involved with Heat (and other films).

One of my pet hates is when you see a car drift or slide in a film but on the long shot you can see the skid marks from where they already had to do 5 takes before they got it right.

[CustardOnChips]

Sprinklers going off in an entire building, especially when someone hits the fire alarm button. They don't do that.

Also, people crawling through ductwork. For many reasons it would be largely impossible.

No matter what speed you're doing, just change down and you'll go faster Ford V Ferrari is a sod for it! Otherwise great film too.

Ford vs Ferrari is guilty of the bad dubbing thing too.
At the start when the doc tells Shelby (Damon) it’s time to stop racing, he hops in his 356 and canes it away. He’s accelerating up through all the gears even around tight bends and things.
After that Bale then appeared with his Brummie accent in a crap scene with his wife. I thought “This is gonna be the first film I ever leave early”.
Glad I stuck with it though. It was pretty decent.

Every helicopter rotor has to make a thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack sound, recorded from a Bell 47 in 1970, even if they are modern 6-blade twin-turbine helis. They also get up to full engine speed in 2 seconds, and the engine pitch changes as they take off and climb.

I have learned from 1980s Saturday early evening TV that guns always work better when you hold them out in front of you and push them towards your target when you pull the trigger.

[Sten.]

When a character drives a strangely old/ low value car, doesn't really fit with the other cars seen or what you would expect them to drive, often with a fake reg to make it look newer. You just know its going to be crashed / blown up at some point.

I believe they use the clip of Val Kilmers mag reload scene in the shoot out as an example of how to do so under for US marines during training. Really need to watch that film again...

American law enforcement officers don't have half-decent locks on their homes, let alone security systems.

And they never send someone to watch the miscreant's back door before they kick in the front door.

And they are always able to kick in the door.
