Movie Cliches

[MrPink]

As I watch movies, I notice more and more cliches. In horror movies, there aren't any normal cops. They have a sheriff and one or two deputies. Nobody calls the cops, they call the sheriff. Come up with some cliches you've seen in movies!

in a little rascals episode with weezer and the puppies and the puppies run through some freshly laid cement. then i watched "What's Up Doc" and they had a scene where cars are driving over some freshly made cement

Everyone seems to hail a cab instantly.... unless of course they are in a perilous situation.

[FUNKMAN]

how about the hero flying in the air shooting a gun in each hand

that shit got old about 20 years ago and they still put in that cheezy scene

[PapaBear]

Cops tasting the white powdery substance and saying , "Yeah. It's cocaine".

[FUNKMAN]

how about people being chased by a car and they figure the best way to elude the speeding vehicle is run directly down the middle of the street

It's awesome when it's Chow Yun Fat in a John Woo film.

All films revolving around a prison seem to have a real dick for a warden.

Asian people know some form of Karate or Kung-Fu.

That smart nerdy girl with glasses, when she gets a makeover, she's hot.

When a person is trying to get away in the getaway car, that car could hit like 10 other cars, drive thorugh a parking garage without getting hit, jump the curb multiple times and go through wooden fences numerous times without missing a beat. Yet the cars chasing them, something always happens to those cars.

And when the pizza man delivers a pie and the chic has no cash to pay for the pizza........stuff happens.

Here's a couple that always get me:

1) They always find a parking spot right in front of the building they're going to.
2) No one ever waits for an elevator. Doors open as soon as they push the button.
3) The mysterious, disappearing rear-view mirror when they're driving in a car.
4) I defy you to name me a movie with a mugger in it where the mugger was black.
5) Everybody, but everybody owns an Apple computer.
6) Sports movies - the stadium PA announncer calls the game like he's doing t.v. play-by-play. (I noticed this on The Natural the other day. It's supposed to be the 40's, right? But the guy sounds like he's working for ESPN)

[MrPink]

Seems like nobody has bad breath when they wake up. If I wake up next to a chick I don't want her talking to me, and I don't blow my stank breath in her face.

The guy always gets the girl.

That drives me crazy!

That annoys me because really, no matter how a girl dresses, you KNOW if she looks good or not.

Thank you for pointing that out. So many movies or TV shows have characters waking up talking to each other, a lot of times kissing each other.
Other times they get up, dress quickly and don't even brush their teeth. I guess we have to assume they did off camera.

[Slumbag]

I'm done with the whole cops/doughnuts gimmick. It's eran it's course.
Also the Black Cop/White Cop music arguments are garbage.

Friday. Or it Another Friday. Or the Friday after Next.

In sports themed movies, in the beginning of the movie the teams sucks to high heaven, has a collection of cast-off, losers, the usual stupid jock, and team mates that can't stand each other- yet when they get a new coach who teaches them the basics and teamwork, and the team goes on to and usually win the championship.

Same thing with war based movies, you got a bunch of rogues, cast-offs, and stuff but put them under the right commander and they all turn into the ultimate fighting force.

How is this a cliche? It happens all the time.

Why is that all hackers use a nice graphic to hack, unlike normal hackers that use a plain old command line.

Hero cop always gets told to take a break, but instead of minding his own fucking business he goes after the bad guys.

Of course he does. His partner, who was about to retire in two days, just got murdered.

Everyone is in deadly peril, and no one can fix it... except one guy who happens to be a friend of the protagonist who we hadn't seen earlier in the movie. I saw this twice in one week with Die Hard 4 and Transformers.
