How does that happen on accident?


In a foot chase with firearms, running running running and no shooting. Then climbing up a ladder safely with sights on you.

Reminds me of that scene in American Me when Edward James Olmos is so used to prison sex that when he gets back out in the world during sex he goes right to put it in his gf 's butt and she gets extremely mad at him for doing so.

Guy falsely accused for some offense. Breaks 100 laws in proving his innocence. Walks away Scot free at the end of the movie with every one feeling bad for what they put the guy through.

No mention of how many people got hurt/nearly killed due to his actions.

People getting shot or stabbed and acting like it doesn't hurt.

Marijuana hallucinations.

I think the biggest example of all would be the good guy running away while the bad guys empty their magazines firing at him and the bullets hit everywhere but his or his sidekick's body.

Why did the Howells and Ginger bring all those clothes for a damn three hour trip?? And they brought records? Which by the way, they were able to play on a makeshift record player without electricity. Damn professor could do that but couldn't get them off that island??

suppressed weapons that are so quiet, you can't hear the brass hit the floor.

Guys on motorcycles chase scenes popping wheelies as they speed up. It's like the directors think that would make the bike go faster.

People hacking DoD on the reg.

Scanning facial recognition/fingerprint d-bases in a few minutes, and getting a match.

"Flawless" sex scenes. No bumbling around, no guiding the ol' member in, no condoms. No one gets sweaty or even messes up their hair rolling around like a GD idiot. No cleanup.

I mean seriously.

Almost started a similar thread the other day


Movies drive me crazy with the accuracy people have with a pistol. A 50 yard headshot is nothing to a good guy. Or you see a guy standing up on a bridge in a movie, just point that pistol and he's toast. A 10 yard accurate pistol shot is a good shot; 50 is almost impossible. Especially only given one shot. Gets on my nerves.

Bad guys are a little different though...

Super-inertial bullets or shotgun blasts that knock people through the air.

Fireball explosions in space.

Secretly crawling through air conditioning ducts.

The scream of a hawk in the background (sure, it can happen but it is an overused cliche now to let you know that the characters are away from civilization). Using bird/aniumal calls in the background that are not native to that location (OK, usually they get away with this one).

Car chases doing millions of dollars worth of damage with no consequences to the drivers. I'd like to see the aftermath with them getting sued into bankruptcy.

In the movies' defense, have any of y'all ever tried running and shooting a handgun at the same time? Most inaccurate thing ever. It's quite hard. Also, firing off a whole mag as quickly as possible is almost useless unless at a <10ft range.

No experience, but my uncle is in the military and said that shooting an automatic weapon holding the trigger down is nearly pointless. You'll hit everywhere but your target.
