40 things that only happern in movies :)

Psychotic murderers have to be killed at least four times before they will stay dead.

People in shootouts never use just one bullet where fifty will do.

Guns never need to be reloaded with bullets unless you are trapped in a warehouse with the above-mentioned psychotic murderer when your weapon will suddenly jam up and refuse to work.

Just before they kill their last victim, the bad guy will always give them a full account of how they carried out their crimes.

Something bad always happens to the Statue of Liberty in disaster movies. (The Day After Tomorrow, Cloverfield etc)
 
if you have never been seen on Star Trek before and are beamed down to planet Zog with the regular Star Trek crew - for sure you are going to die!

Never switch on the light when looking for axe murders in a dark room at night :D
 
Makeup in movies is mixed with a secret sticking solution, so it is incapable of becoming smudged, or being rubbed off. Such is the power of this sealant one can wear make-up to bed, and wake up with hair and face completely intact! Unless streaming mascara is needed for dramatic impact, then the sealant miraculously loses its holding power.
 
Computer viruses not only destroy any computer, they also cause the info on the screen to 'run' like melting wax.

Not only do bombs have nice friendly LCD displays, they also beep, but only when the camera is looking at them. The rest of the time no-one can hear them.

No matter how many times a cop car rolls over, the cop will survive and get out slightly dizzy (mostly happened in 80's TV).

Bullets will harmless penetrate a hero's car, yet his bullets instantly blow-up any cars they touch.
 
what annoys me about all americamn films is that.. the car always explodes in a ball of flames.. and in real life this is vertually immposible.....


even in real life if the fuel tank was leaking. and it ran along a hot exhust pipe it would not catch fire.. only sizzle up and evaporate...

it is pritty difficult for petrol to ignite.. it must be a flame or a spark...... not heat,, or a hot pipe..
 
Have you ever wondered how the 15 minute movie would go down?

Maybe they could make dozens different versions of the same movie where the hero gets killed in different parts/ways - and you never know which version they gonna show you he he he
 
I was going to post exactly the same thing.

If a car crashes into another one, even a little knock at quite a slow speed, it is compulsory that the car explodes into an enormous pyrotechnic fireball.
I can't remember one single incident where this has happened in real life.
 
If there is an explosion, you will often find someone running away whilst waving their hanRAB in the air and jiggling their bits in slow motion.

When a spaceship is in space, the planet/moon will always be neatly on the left/right hand side. Even when landing, the ship will go in with the planet on the left/right hand side but mysteriously the ground will be underneath once it breaks through the clouRAB.

In sex scenes, there's always loaRAB of grunting and groaning but never any of the squelching that goes with it.

People often utter witty catchphrases before blowing somebody's brains out.

The police will always arrive shortly after the killer has been shot dead/pushed from window/impaled on spike.

Gay people are for 'light, comic relief' and run about squeeling in drag. Black people rarely make it to the end credits alive. All Asian/Middle Eastern types are terrorists. European women are promiscous and look like Bridget Nielson.

When out clubbing, people often dance to music that they wouldn't be seen dead dancing to in real life, like saxophone music or an 80's Casio keyboard. This will always be in a 'cool' environment like an old Church, with flashing blue lights, animatronics, and half naked female dancers on podiums. You are almost guaranteed a shoot out before the end of the scene. The second there is a loud bang, everybody will run out screaming with their hanRAB in the air.
 
All small town SheriRAB are corrupt and related to the equally corrupt Mayor.


Any American Football or Baseball game no matter how small, even down to a schools game will have a professional commentator relating events to the crowd (and us).
 
If they're not already here...

People being stalked in a house by a baddie never turn on the lights and (as Code Y mentioned) always run upstairs rather than out the front or back door like any sane person This often necessites a dangerous climb out of a window or a hide in a closet usually with slits in it to allow dramatic lighting and for the victim to peer out of it at their stalker


On the PC front...

Computers hardly ever seem to be running Windows or Linux either but some fancy fake interface usually with OTT 3D graphics the use of which is accompanied by unecessary bleeping noises.

PC users rarely use the mouse when furiously tapping the keyboard is 'quicker'

A malfunctioning computer usually starts smoking

If two people are messaging each other using a computer, the person at the other end always replies instantaneously suggesting they're either psychic or the fastest typist in the world. Happens a lot in Alias (not a film I know)

New software doesn't need installing (happened in 24 season 4)
