In the main fight scene of the movie the hero can take so much punishment. Brass knuckles to the face, a metal bat to the back, multiple blows to the midsection, and still somehow fight back and kill the bad guy who just beat the crap out of him. All of this while his leg is broke from a previous fight.

Every female wakes up in bed with perfectly applied makeup.

When the boss tells the character to take some time off from work b/c they need it to recuperate or de-stress or whatever. The person always objects to this time off from work and views it as punishment.

I wish I could have a boss who begs me to take time off work.

Bad guys shoot at good guy a million times from point-blank range and can't hit. Good guy shoots 20 times and hits 20 bad guys.

One thing that's always bothered me is the fact that tires on cars are screeching no matter how fast they stop or start

Perfect hair, too.

In keeping with the bed theme--

People putting their shoes up on the bed/couch (you see it more often on TV sit-coms). Gross. I know some people don't take their shoes off at their front door but geez. You might lay your head there later. Not a big deal anyway, since the bottoms of their shoes look brand-new, like they just took them from the costume room.

Also, (usually) women who get out of bed seductively and wrap the sheet around themselves for modesty. Multiple things:

1. Drippage.
2. You just slept with this dude, you cant walk 10 feet to the bathroom naked?
3. Ever try wrapping a queen size sheet around yourself and walk without tripping?
4. Does no one tuck in their top sheet?

When victims knock out their attacker and then run away instead of bashing his head in or something.

Or they stab the bad guy in the leg and just drop the knife and walk off without making sure he's actually dead

What pisses me off is when it says the end but then they roll the credits. The end should be the end.

6 pages and no one mentions bullets flying through water like mini torpedoes.

There is no bullet from any gun that will penetrate water. You are perfectly safe under water if someone is shooting a 50 cal Gatlin gun at you.

People who don't eat any of the food on their plate. Especially at breakfast, a character will sit down, chat for a second, and hurry away to start his day and just leave his food there.

Turning off the TV as soon as they see the relevant news story. Whereas normal people just leave the tv on.

Babies never having to be changed.

Every car in a movie is always clean. No dirt and the inside is usually spotless.

When eating at restaurants, everybody's food comes out exactly as it was ordered and their order is never wrong/undercooked/ect.

Dead shots while fanning a single-action Colt


If from the hip, it is possible with a LOT(years) of practice. You set the gun forearm with a straight wrist on your hip and then twist your body so it follows the direction of your foot on that side. You then move your foot to aim, basically.

Its kind of like lining up your feet to aim on a field goal, or lining up your feet to aim in golf. Just a different dynamic within the same realm.

It is only dead on in close quarters. Less than 15 feet. Outside of that, you dead baw.

I dunno if they went about it the right way. Surface area of bullets used, and supersonic ammunition might have skewed the result. They didnt know enough about guns to actually look that though.

They tested about 10 different types of guns.

Every time a car brakes it squeaks like it's in need of new brake pads. Doesn't matter what kind of car what year...every time. Lazy sound effects as if we need to have that sound to tell us the car is stopping. You will not be able to unhear it now.
