Any movie where time is of the essence, the world will end, someone will die if not saved in 2 minutes, or the bad guy is right on your heels and the romantic leads will stop, stair into each others eyes and give a longgggg kiss.

No one ever says "bye" on the phone. They just hang up.

The way unconsciousness works. Guy gets bopped on the head with vase. Wakes up hours later. Was he in a fricking coma?

I cracked up at Jurrasyc world for this. Dino's are literally murdering people left and right and that was apparently the best time to get a good make out sess

Even past that, has anyone ever just walked up to a chick that you've never actually dated and grabbed her and try to make out? I don't think that's how that would work

Whenever a character in a movie or on TV is carrying groceries they always, ALWAYS, have french bread sticking out of the bag.

One of my favorites is when, in a period piece, someone removes their sword from their scabbard. It makes a metallic "shing" sound. Swords don't make that sound in real life as they are being removed from their holsters.

Car scenes in movies or tv shows that show a character driving. He's going down a straight road, but he's turning the wheel all over the damn place. Why isn't he swerving all over the damn road? Why can't he just hold the wheel straight??

When someone is clearly driving a base model vehicle with a 4cyl or V6 yet it sounds like a supercharged V8

There are several
The police are always stupid
No one ever flushes the toilet
1 person fighting 4 or more people at the same time
People out running explosions
All of Vin Diesels near deaths in the fast in the furious
And my personal favorite
I’ll be right back don’t get out the car. Gets out the car anyway and gets killed

Wrong.

They did this on myth busters. Cigarettes have grooves on the paper that keep the temperature down

I think it would be funny to see a movie that completely destroyed all of these movie cliches and made a super realistic movie. It would be boring as shite and awkward but i would still watch.

Whenever someone is in need of a alcoholic drink (espically alone), they pop a bottle of whiskey, grab a glass tumbler, poor it into the glass, and then proceed to slam said booze......why not just nip it right out the bottle? Do you really need to poor into a glass to make it dignified. This trend happens from spaghetti westerns to modern movies.

Whenever someone hangs up a phone, the person still holding the receiver immediately gets a dial tone. Yeah, that's not how it works.

The way people smoke cigarettes (in the center of their mouth).

Scenes like a CSI lab or when police are searching a building. Why doesn't anyone turn on the overhead lights? Everyone uses flashlights or does work in low light

I assume "multiple blunt force head trauma that doesn't keep a person from continuing to do what they're doing" has been addressed.

Also, suffocations that take 12 seconds.
