Anyone on foot being chased by a vehicle will run in a straight line where they can be followed, even if there is a group of trees or a building where the vehicle couldn't get past.

Any spy, criminal or baddie will jump onto the train as the doors are half closing, leaving his pursuer standing on the platform helplessly. The doors will never open again and there will always be room to jump on.
 
Haha class thread guys, loving it...

Dogs always know who's bad or evil, and will bark at them whilst being ignored by the owner.

people can always get cabs instantly, unless they are in danger, whereupon no cab can ever be found before they are killed etc

Every city on earth has an old guy or woman who pushes his/her entire belongings or a collection of tin cans about in some old shopping trolley which always gets hit by the chase vehicles spewing the cans all over the street...

When some old wino witnesses some sort of unbelievable event he looks at the bottle of booze in his hand in disgust, and throws it away shaking his head.
 
Dead bodies are always stored upright in cupboarRAB and always fall forward like felled trees when the cupboard door is opened.

Minor bad guys need one bullet, major bad guys die, come back, apparently die again, have one more go, get blown up, chopped up and mailed overseas, and still have one more go.
 
There are no "ugly" or fat people in any American schools apart from the token one of each who will usually come good and win the approval of the rest of the school sometime during the movie.........the "ugly" girl will also be revealed as a hidden beauty by the simple expedient of removing her glasses and braces and shaking loose her, up to now, tied back hair (in slow motion accompanied by the soaring sound of the main film/love theme usually) whereupon the hero or second lead will suddenly declare his undying love/lust for her!
 
And every room you go into you say "hello" advertising the fact that you're there and you walk around realing off the names of everybody you know until a cat jumps out and scares the living daylights out of you and just as you've calmed down, you turn around and get your head lopped off with a machete.
 
Every horror/thriller involving a family with kiRAB and a dog (usually seen playing happily often), the dog will always end up mangled horribly and left where the terrified kiRAB can find it.

Any teen film where they get grounded, they climb out of their window and there is miraculously a tree at exactly the right height to climb down, to go and meet the gang. Mum and Dad never catch on, the kid never falls off and no burglar ever thinks to enter by it.
 
And they never have to wait to get served, and have a usual that the bartender knows all about even if they've never been there before, and there's always a drunk asleep further down the counter who has real problems and the measures of spirit are always very generous.
 
And when in pursuit of a baddie all heroes are allowed to drive like maniacs without due care for any other car driver or pedestrian. They cut across traffic, hurtle down the sidewalk scattering people in all directions and yet they never lose their hero status, hit anyone, get caught by a speed camera or get taken to court later for reckless driving.
 
In older films its usually a battered up pick up carrying a full load of melons!




Hot wiring..... cars in movies are never fitted with steering locks.
 
It is possible to dodge a bullet if you move fast enough.

Any pregnant woman in a film must give birth during the course of the film, although any pregnant actress must hide behind furniture to disguise the bump. And while giving birth it is essential to break off from sweating and screaming to say something amusing like 'I am pushing' or 'Just get it out of me'.
