When people getting chased by a bad guy only hit once & knock them down instead of continuing to hit them.

When there is a huge fight and everyone fights one on one. The main character just walks through the fight to engage the one guy he is there to fight, no one from around him hits him from behind or attacks them. This was really hard to watch in the fight between Bane and Batman outside of city hall when Batman walks through all the cops getting beat up around him and no one thinks to attack the #1 target next to them.

No one ever has the same first name.
People being able to carry a normal conversation immediately after being involved in a lengthy gun fight, as if their hearing is totally unaffected.

People with low income jobs living like CEOs.

1. Romantic comedies that always end in a chase scene, while something like "Your love has lifted me higher" plays in the background.
2. Comedies that end in a dance scene because they don't know how to end it.
3. When a bad guy/henchman/security guard gets hit once and is permanently knocked out. When does this ever happen in real life?
4. Girls and women who are unbeatable in hand-to-hand combat with men. Please stop insulting me, Hollywood.
5. Token diversity. I'm not against diversity. I'm against meaningless diversity.

One hit pistol-whips to the top of the head that incapacitate someone for an indefinite period of time. (Usually long enough for whatever the protagonist needs to do and then bug out).
Fade to blacks when it's the protagonist who's pistol whipped.
Pulling a fire alarm pull station to activate the sprinkler system when you need a distraction.
Every sprinkler head on the floor activating. (Only the one directly under a fire, deliberately broken head, etc. has water coming out of it).
When an entire planet has just one climate zone. (e.g. all desert/snow/ocean/prairie). I'm looking at you, Star Wars.
The villain unveiling the minute details of their master plot while the protagonist is about to be killed. The speech usually only serves to give the hero enough time to escape.
Reformed criminals who get sucked back in for "just one more job".
Villains having a de facto English accent.
Fat shlubs a la Kevin James who have impossibly hot wives/gfs.
Knocking out the assailant, and the protagonist has an opportunity to ensure that they're dead, and all they do is take a couple of steps and collect themselves. FINISH HIM!!!
Running upstairs to get away from anyone chasing you.
Christ figure imagery
That'll do for now.

Rent control is the answer to that.

Hangovers are completely unrealistic. Some movie scenes include an obscene amount of alcohol enough that the character would've easily blacked out yet when they wake up all they say is some moan, go get coffee and are fine.
A realistic hangover would include not leaving the bed all day or turning on the lights, binge watching Netflix and ordering delivery for all 3 meals.
Adam Carolla takes this one step further. You ever notice how the alcoholic, pill dependent, strung out loser in movies usually looks like he hasn't missed a workout in a decade? People who live like that look like Artie Lange.

When they use constrictor, corn or other snakes for rattlesnakes and dub over a "rattling" sound.

That will forever piss me off. You just don't leave a plate of hot Kraft M&C uneaten, Kevin.

I've posted this response before, but why TF did they need a Gatling gun on the rover in Armageddon?
I know there's a missing scene where they explained it would be used to clear debris but really? NASA's best engineers felt that a Gatling gun was the most efficient means of clearing debris on an asteroid?

Also when handguns have an unlimited supply of bullets in action movies

When the camera angle is changed to behind the character's head and the audio coming from the character changes because it's prerecorded in a studio. It sounds nothing like when the camera is facing the character. I don't know why, but it bugs the shite out of me.

1. Gratuitous CGI
2. Forced love stories
3. Useless McGuffin's
4. Not enough sex and nudity

People breaking necks with ease. Especially skinny chicks doing it. It takes a tremendous amount of strength and several seconds to actually break somebody's neck. Yet in movies you have people snapping necks in one second by lightly twisting some big henchman's neck.

it has been said, but one punch knockouts...especially those from a swing that was half cocked or from about 8 inches away.
For instance, an almost perfect movie is Midnight Run with DeNiro and Charles Grodan. However, there has to be a least 3 instances in that movie where either main or supporting characters are knocked out by a punch that wouldn't have even busted your lip.
