40 Things That Only Happen In Movies (http://www.nostalgiacentral.com/features/20moviethings.htm)

Would like to add some movie cliches in this thread.

I would like to add that in a movie car chase, they always seem to run over a fruit cart or a hot dog stand.

I'll add another one -- in almost any western, if a guy is falling off a mountain or a cliff, the hat always stays on!

If you're a black guy in a slasher/horror flick, you're toast.

When your phone conversation is interrupted, the person on the other line always agrees to let you call them back without any explanation as to why you are hanging up abruptly.

Car tires always squeal when going around corners, especially when the road is mud or gravel.

The bad guys die instantaneously after being shot once ... the good guys can survive multiple gunshot wounds and will only die if their partner is close enough to relay the following message: "Tell my wife I love her".

Anyone with a laptop computer can hack into any power grid, alarm system or military installation.

William Shatner is a likable guy.

The Good Guys always win.

The FBI always muck it up for the simple cop on the beat.

Fistfights can go on for ages. And no one ever cries when they take one square on the schnozz.

You can outrun an explosion.

Punching in a car window neither hurts nor cuts your hand.

The bad guy has a hot daughter who, despite her love for her father, wants to sleep with you and help bust him.

Along the same lines. Hero gets run over by car. Gets up and starts running after car.

Of course in real life. :rolleyes: A friend of a friend worked in a Texas-Mexico bridge as a toll worker. Once day, a guy who stole a car tried to jump the toll with his car and go into Mexico. The police were after him. For some reason or other (and I guess watching to many cop movies), he decided to jump on top of the hood as the car was making its way into his toll booth. Sure 'nuff. He ricoched from the hood into the pavement. The stolen car was later found. The toll worker had to be taken to a hospital. He suffers from back problems and messed up spine. Remember. They are only movies.

All women love semen.

Here's an obvious one - all female protagonists (or antagonists) are good looking. Whether its a forensic scientist or a grocery store clerk.

If you see curtains flapping in the breeze it means someone escaped out the window.

[PoshSpur]

Superb!

In a similar vein ... all female police officers are attractive and heterosexual.

Keira Knightly doesn't have any tits, in whatever part she plays..........:confused:

Any given ice queen can be melted with a healthy dose of hot lovin'.

Thieves always get away with their crimes so long as they're attractive.

The nice guy gets the girl.

Here's something else I noticed, whenever theres a shot of someone drawing, you always see the person tracing or going over the already drawn lines, you never see the artist add any new lines to the drawing/painting, its always the tracing.

[mrsbabytiger2001]

how about in the horror genre, when the bad guy buys it, you think he is dead but he ALWAYS comes back for one last scare!!!

[tino11]

When running away from a crime scene, being hotly pursued by the good guy, you have to run in a zig-zag pattern rather than the much more efficient straight line so that you can needlessly push innocent bystanders out the way, who to be fair were not in the way in the first place.
