When a driver is jerking the wheel back and forth like they are in a slalom race yet the road is perfectly straight.

People who have been in explosions, car wrecks etc running around later that day and the next day like they are perfectly refreshed and fine.

When a good guy is running and bullets keep hitting all around his feet. WTF are they shooting at? His feet?? Put a tree or wall in the background and have the bullets hit that.

Yeah, cause they put on a merkin (or pubic wig). It also allows actors and actresses to do nearly nude scenes without having actual nudity.

Fun fact: prostitutes used to (or maybe still do) wear these to hide STD's.

Jacked up military uniforms, rank being mismatched. You'd think there would be at least 1 dude on the set to fix that kind of bullshite.

Followed closely by

Guns clicking whenever they're touched. I've never understood why they insist on doing that shite.

I'm happy to see the credits at least 1/3 of the time. Les Mis most recently. I didn't hate it but it was too facking long and way too damn much of that singing crap.

When I was about 4 years old, my granddad sat me on his lap in his car and let me "drive" down the deserted road in front of their house. From watching TV, I thought that was how it was done, and I ran us into the ditch

When characters respond to an unexpected question or make some other supposedly off-the-cuff, impromptu speech without ever saying uh, or pausing or clarifying one thing. It's like they are are instant speechwriters who can rattle off a teleprompter masterpiece without a stutter or stammer.

How the "damsel in distress" always happens to be hot. I mean I like it but obviously unrealistic. Ugly women probably need help too sometimes.

This goes for TV shows as well but when the cork on champagne bottles fly off to signify arousal. It annoys the hell out of me.

motherfricking THIS. I watched some 90's action flick the other day and every time the main character moved, his 1911 made a "ka-click" sound. Who the hell would even fire a gun that clicked that much? I'd be scared that it would explode in my hand.

Like:
Annie Savoy: What do you believe in, then?
Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

As epic as that scene is, it's not very realistic now is it?

this is kind of hard to explain, but i hate it when something unbelievable or crazy happens in a movie and then later on something similarly unbelievable is deemed impossible by the characters. I'm trying to think of an example, but it's friday.


eta..just thought of something as an example. This didn't happen, just the first movie i could thnik of. Let's say in looper, they have the people who can levitate objects. Well it would be like one character not believing that there could be the rainmaker. So you're telling me that people can levitate shite and we can time travel, but a rainmaker with more power than normal is out of the realm of possibility.

Hate when a couple wakes up, rolls over, and kisses passionately.
Morning breath would turn the passion into puke!

In hacker movies where the computer makes a bunch of stupid noises when windows pop on the screen.

I hate when characters just finish having sex, then (the guy usually) just gets up and puts his pants on without cleaning up at all. And it's usually with no underwear.
