Almost any Die Hard movie scenes.
I do love the movies but they are pretty ridiculous.
Especially the end of Die Hard 2 where the gas trail is lit on fire and follows the plane off the ground.

I may take some heat for this, because it is one of the best and one of my favorite movies of all time, but the escape in Shawshank Redemption is pretty far fetched.

Don't get me wrong, I go with it. But no way Andy was busting a hole in that sewage pipe big enough to crawl through just hitting it with a rock (don't care how rusted it was)



And even if he somehow did, he would have died a horrible death and spent the rest of eternity clogged in that river of shite after passing out due to the ammonia and methane gas he inhaled as he crawled the length of five football fields before getting to the drainage grate (that likely would have had a cage on the end of it anyway )

Any movie where a nice, caring, sensitive and emotional beta wins over the woman when she chooses him over the alpha

I once saw a movie where a bunch of vine-swinging monkeys aided the protoganist in a car chase.

Later on, that same protagonist was shielded from a nuclear blast by the awesome force field power of a refrigerator.

You have to suspend disbelief for 99.9% of all action movies. Same goes for most comedies TBH.

Goldeneye plane jump. Just watched it again and it is even more ridiculous than I remember.

Pretty much all of Titanic... I mean you expect me to believe that they didn't see that massive iceberg up in front of them? And then they somehow don't have enough lifeboats for everyone? And then Rose manages to find a floating door big enough for 4 people but can't let Jack up out of the water? Then she's really just going to throw a diamond the size of my left nut into the ocean?

Load of crap, the whole movie.




Titanic led to the breakup for me. I related what you just posted, nearly word for word, and it was the beginning of the end.

And honestly, I can accept that a billionaire might learn to fight and dress up as a bat and fight crime at night. But this here defies belief.

Die Hard part 3 in NY always gets me.
When They jump of the bridge about the size if the Mississippi bridge and land on top the freighter below and just dust themselves off.

In the movie Kick arse where Kick arse tells Lyndsey Fonseca that he is gay just so he can be her friend, then stalks her and breaks into her room one night and tells her he isn't actually gay, and she accepts it and they become boyfriend/girlfriend

That would never happen in a million years

What would really happen is she would tell him to GTFO and be repulsed by him being such a pussy beta

Not a movie but in Breaking Bad, there's a scene where Jesse is going to kill two Messican thugs hanging out on a street corner and then suddenly Walt comes out of nowhere driving 100mph and runs them over. There is NO WAY Walt could suddenly sneak up on two dudes in the middle of the night....in a quiet little area of town....traveling at that kind of speed.

It ruined the whole scene.
