Movie cliches that you find hilarious . . . or annoying.

And that is one weird coincidence. I actually live about 15 mintues way from Newcastle, it's just easier to right that than Washington. D'you know where that is?

Yeah, but it's further away from me (Hexham)

 

[Mysterious Stranger]

The fact that every villainous henchman has apparently failed basic marksmanship.

 

[RanD00M]

The 2000 bullet submachineguns or the 1000 bullet assault rifles beat those.

See (Insert Chuck Norris film here) for more detail on the matter.

Wow that is like right next to me. Fancy that

Star Wars three was ruined when....

"ANNAKIN! (sp?) YOU'RE BRAKING MY HEART!"

The cheesiness... my goodness I love cheese fondue and all but that takes the cake.

The scene that ruined Revenge for me was a bit later on when Vader did his 'No' take ... that was the worst No I have ever seen ever ...

... speaking of No's, I love how during an action movie, when the [or a] main character watches [in slow motion] as their best friend, love interest, whoever ... is died. Either right after or during said death sequence, the main character will have a moment in which everything around him/her stops and they look into the sky and scream NO in the form of a war cry which makes them invincible

Another thing I love in movies [though have not seen lately] is the scene in which the main character of a stupid comedy [like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber or Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore] will take a moment to imagine a happy place. When they awaken, they realize that they are about to drive their car into another car or off of a cliff or something else that makes me giggle.

And why is it that every tough-as-nails "bad ass" can shrug off a barrage of armor-piercing rounds but, when the love interest nurses the wound by dabbing the edge of a gaze with a cotton ball, the guy will wince in pain!? Talk about inconsistent!

i hate how in horror movies people always make the black guy die first

See Event Horizon.

The black guy survives!

 

[Leodiensian]

The One-Punch Knock Out. Seriously. What are the odds of that happening every time?

Out Of Frame, Out Of Mind: If a guard walks off-screen and the next second the good guy's grappling hook lands and he noisily climbs up, the guard won't hear. Sound doesn't carry off-screen.

 

[Takoto]

The Wilhelm scream always makes me laugh whenever I hear it, but I guess it's not really... a cliché.

I guess the whole thing where a guy is blatantly evil and no one notices (example... err, Scar from the Lion King? I mean COME ON. He's fucking sinister, even for a Disney character and no one suspected him when Mufasa and Simba died (well, when they thought Simba was dead...) and then he suddenly claims his place as the King straight away and moves the Hyena in....)

 

[Corkydog]

The '7 bullet revolver' or 'triple barrel shotgun' are both pretty major continuity errors.

No, see, the owners of those guns had them specially modified to appear normal but hold one extra bullet/shell, so that their foe would think they are out of ammo, but in reality they have one more shot.

 

[Harley Q]

When someone jumps off a high building/bridge/out of a window, they manage to land on their feet without shattering their shins, or breaking the heels of their shoes. grr

 

[Sheinen]

The dickhead who shows up in EVERY Zombie film whose been bitten, knows that they're going to turn in to a Zombie but tells no-one!

 

[Fniff]

I hate that stupid school of thought that the one woman who happens to survive is the most beautiful of them all.

In flesh colored horror the ugliest survives!

and everyone who was beautiful dies!

 

[Hookman]

At least in Equilibrium the hero was specially trained to dodge bullets and kick ass, in most films like that there is next to no explanation as to how the hero can outlast over 50 men in one fight and not get hit once.
EDIT: Definatly gotta agree about the video game playing in movies. Even in movies about video games the characters flail around and make faces like they are having a fit!

 

[DracoSuave]

Whenever anyone plays a videogame, why is it always -exactly- the sound effects from Pac-Man from the Atari 2600?

 

[Lynx]

In a disaster movie, the small gang of 3-5 people who survive the crisis by escaping miraculously, always brings a useless little kid who sits and whines through the entire film.

 

[MoganFreeman]

I personally love it when there is a large, pitched battle between the Armies of Good and the Armies of Evil and somewhere in the middle of the fighting the Hero and the Villain meet and all of the nameless mooks on both sides just stop fighting so the Hero and Villain can properly duke it out without interruption.

 

[Leodiensian]

In any elite soldier team, there is always one guy who is really big and strong. If he is a bad guy, then when he and the good guy fight, he will inevitably lift said good guy over his head with both hands to throw him, and is probably killed through some use of the enviroment (electric cable, liquid nitrogen etc)

I haven't read all the comments but i think noone mentioned this one.

The bad ass hero with the low,growling voice.Just too many of them...!I wonder if the bad ass heroes are more vulnerable in catching a cold that the rest of the human race...! lol And,no,i wouldn't preffer them to have a squeeky voice or something,just a normal one.

Really,it's irritating. (except when the bad ass is Clint Eastwood)


Also what MoganFreeman said,though i admit,there are a few times that i'm glad that it's happening since i want to see those two fight.

I think the latest Batman film is a pretty good example of this. Seriously, Bale-as-Batman practically needed subtitles.
