    Revolvers with silencer "they only work on semi auto pistols or single shot" Shotguns with out any recoil included dozens of other weapons. the classic gas tank car explosion wish packs more bang than a 500 pound of explosives.

    NO cross hairs on a sniper rifle. wrong sound for weapons. wrong sounds for cars and motorcycle = classic a dirt bike with 2 cycle engine sounds like a Harley.

    movies extra with a gun and a jam blank in a semi auto pistol or rifle but you still hear the weapon going off. they never change empty magazine "only movies made in the 80s and on they try to correct it.

    War movie wise it seems like the russians never fought the germans "in real life the russians did 90% of the worse field battles against the germans.

    My favourites are~:

    In movies Menstruation is unknown
    Taxis can always be found, unless in danger when a taxi cannot be found.
    Every bullet wound is "Just a flesh wound"
    In the event of a crisis you never fail to hear the words "out of my way i'm a doctor"
    New born babies always emerge clean and with a good head of hair
    Whenever someone adopts anothers clothes they are always a perfect fit, despite the difference in size of the two people

    those are great john88. i forgot hand grenades make people fly 20 feet up in the air "even back flip" including flipping a 3000 pound vehicle. germans and japs portrait as dumb soldiers. john wayne allways stands up and smokes or cracks a joke in the middle of a intense fire fight. The actor hair is perfect and clothes even in a battle field.accident, natural disaster.

    There's always those giant control panels and pieces of equipment in the sci-fi movies that sit there and do nothing but beep and blink. :)

    Spaceships roar through empty space and sound like military fighter jets. They even bank their turns as if flying through air.

    Speaking of John Wayne, they always win the battle by tossing a hand grenade through the window.


    Let's see. Hmmm. Cell phones never run out of battery!

    And did you ever notice this one? Whenever there's a bar seen and the people are in there telling a joke, they only let you here the last line of the joke and everyone is laughing.

    WHY DON'T THEY TELL US THE WHOLE JOKE? :)

    the people in the backround never react when one of the main characters does an extravagant movement or anything and they never make any noise either.

    When a cop chases a criminal on foot, neither one ever pulls a muscle or trips over anything.

    It is the law that in any car chase in San Francisco or the Rural South, any cars involved must be airborne at least once.

    The aforementioned airborne cars will be unaffected by any massive structural damage.

    Anyone on a quest is exempt from any negative effects of neglected personal hygiene.

    All Romans speak with proper British accents.

    Every person you need to know about is introduced within the first 15 minutes of the film, unless they are very, very important (like God, Satan, the unnamed assassin, Colonel Kurtz or the hero's successor), then you will not see them until the last 15 minutes of the film.

    Any blurb that reveals our heroes' future must be superimposed over a "captured" still photograph of our hero in action.

    Whoever gets the hero to tell his tale will be seen only at the beginning, and at the end, of the movie.

    A sports movie is never over until the "Big Game" is won, or lost, as dramatically as possible.

    Only the most absurdly wealthy supervillains are worthy of James Bond's intervention.

    If both must die at the end, the villain always dies before the hero.

    There was a detective show in the 70s called Streets Of San Francisco. All they did was airborne car chases. :)

    And let's not forget Dukes of Hazzard. Toward the end of the run of that show, they were running cars for The General.

    Here's one I noticed in a Bond film...

    Everyone can lift a sizable chunk of weapons grade plutonium very easily in their hand, even though plutonium is several times heavier than lead.
