Title: Movie Cliches
Post by: 812558 on April 05, 2009, 03:36:07 PM
In almost every single movie that i have seen they have used these such as all automatic pistols must be held sideways in order to be fired, or if anything hits anything, even wood to wood, it will explode without reason. so what are some that you have herd of or seen

All I can think of right now, cars always explode when they go off a cliff or into the air, even for no reason, while in the mid air at times.

In many movies villain will almost always say "You fool!" to the hero at some point. Particulary in fantasy movies. Does this counts?

yep

just thought of another one
in every movie when the hero is packing a pump action shotgun it gets to a point where he aims point blank at someone's head "cocks it" and blows his head off, which means that he had been threatening people with an unloaded gun :lol

Someone says, "I'll be right back." and you never see them again.

Bad guy will shoot hero and think he's dead when hero's wearing a bulletproof vest.

Don't you just love that :lol:

I like how when the hero is getting strangled or whatever by the villain, and is about to die, they'll always be some kind of object placed conveniently next to him to save himself with.

Instead of finishing off the hero, the bad guys will tie him and toss him into some empty room then leave, often without leaving guard, and there nearly always is something sharp, broken bit of glass, ect so the hero can free themselves.

Bingo!
Why don't they set a bullet in him on sight, when they are the only one who can freaking aim properly!?
Bad guy's henchmen are always bad at aiming!  :lol

Here's a big cliche!

Star Wars
Star Trek
Star Gate
Star...
blah blah
any science fiction space movie in general: (nothing against it)

-Explosion in space, and you can hear them!-
Yeeeaaaahhh....  :rolleyes:

I recommend you to watch "Firefly" series then. They have no sounds in the void of space (you can only hear nice music playing as a background) and this is not the only good point about this series.

In a lot of science fiction movies ships in space, especially small fighters can move around like they are fighter aircraft in an atmosphere like earth's air, someone already mentioned the sound in space above, I thought I'd add in this as well.    Some may not know what I mean, but with my admittedly very limited knowledge of science & physics, it should not be possible to dodge & move around like in an atmosphere since the wings of a ship have nothing to push against or move against.  

I've only seen a few shows like b5 that did this better where the fighers had small jets it could use to reposition themselves, so with those they could move around like f-16 (in an atmosphere) and such while in a vacuum.

About the sound in space thing, what fun would Star Wars be without sound during the space battles?  That would suck.

In Chuck Norris movies the bad guys always stay dead after they are killed.

I really wish they'd add more intelligent characters into horror films.  It gets old seeing stupid weed-smoking nymphomaniacs who can't find their way out of a paper bag getting whacked :rolleyes:  :bang.

i agree with you tiger, or when the hero tells someone not to do something and they do it anyway
