The fact that all the actors have British accents in Ancient Greek or Roman movies. And most of them have bad accents.

My monsters better damn well roar. And I prefer them not doing it at random times.

This is right here.

Back on point... My pet peeve is when they reuse old footage from the movie in flashbacks that are clearly supposed to be occurring in the character's head. It just seems like laziness--shoot the scene from a second angle at least, or do it right and have the flashback footage from the first-person view.

I think it was US Marshalls that did a flashback from someone's memory using security camera footage that the character had never seen. That was really annoying.

That one is actually semi-legit. It is thought that the Roman accent emphasized similar characters and pace when compared to British accents. Roman Briton's pronunciation and accent merged with Germanic Anglo-Saxon, while the rest of Europe was influenced by the Huns, Moors, Lombards, Ottomans, etc.

hangovers aren't that hard to fix, bro

When people remove manhole covers with their hands like they only weigh 5 pounds.

Cars that burst into flames and/or explode for little or no reason.

Every single person who wears an ear piece will invariably at some point touch their ear tilt their head down and back while leaning towards their ear to show that they received a message. It's stupidly annoying. Especially when it is the way someone notices them.

A trained agent gets noticed because he makes some giant leaning gesture to listen to a message? The bad guy can afford a 100 person security force and a hightech laser security grid and a laptop with more encryption than ever invented before and a secret tunnel leading to a private chopper to take him to another hideout, but he cant afford to give his security guys headphones loud enough to hear without jamming them into your head.
