Little things in movies which annoy you! (no serious posts allowed)

Historical inaccuracies;

Such as the 39 Steps when they used a forward facing machine gun on a biplane in 1914 when the technique was not invented well into WW1.

Or using a Southern Railway carriages when going from Kings Cross (clue; Kings Cross is in North London, Southern Railway was South of London)

Or how about an SNCF carriage being used this side of the Eurotunnel in MI:I - SNCF do not run carriages this side of the Channel!

On the other hand I well remember someone writing to TV Times irate that American vehicles were used in scenes set in D-Day bemoaning there were no English vehicles - that is because we left all ours on Dunkirk Beach!
 
The randomness of explosions in movies.

An example would be car crashes. A bad guy drives his car off a cliff and there is a big explosion.
A good guy drives his car off a cliff and it travels down the tangent coming to a halt at the bottom and the guy has a small cut on his head.
 
The woman always wakes up wearing a nightie/pyjamas when you know they have 'done it' the night before and always with make up still on! Also, the rampant sex between two people who have been at work all day - ever heard of a shower? yuk :mad:
 
Morgan Freeman strikes me as the kind of chap who probably does his own narration in real-life when he's performing day-to-day tasks e.g

"That was the last time I purchased that toilet paper. I knew that it was probably a mistake to change brand but I knew that I had God by my side...

OR


"The day my toaster blew up I knew that things would never be the same....."


He's a very good actor but I bet he's hard work during a conversation.
 
Ones where the good guy is captured by the bad guy and then the bad guy leaves somebody else to kill the good guy (usually James Bond movies) who then inevitably escapes and comes back to kill the bad guy.

Ones where people are running away from tidal waves/godzilla/explosions etc (usually in New York City) where everybody runs in the same direction (usually straight ahead) and they never ever duck down side streets or into buildings to get away from said tidal waves/godzilla/explosions etc.
 
I hate how in Movies, "experts" can take cctv footage and zoom in on faces resulting in high resolution prints of baddies faces.
It's jut not possible and never will be no matter how good computers get.

I hate also in movies (and television), despite us being in the digital age, whenever somone changes channel on a TV, you get 1/4 of second of snow and white noise while the tv changes channel.
I havent owned a TV that did that since some time in the 80's

Also that advert on at the moment where everyone is palying a tune while entering their pin number at the checkouts accross the city.

They dont do that!!!, they may make one solitary tone for all the keys, if they played different notes for each key like in the advery, criminals would just record the tones, and would have your pin number, i cant beleive they think poeple are stupid enough not to notice.:eek:
 
Wanted - Totally Unrealistic

Ok, I can except bending bullets and flipping cars over and surviving train crashes but how does a truck keep up with a corvette and a lada type piece of crap keep up with a train :eek:

These movie people have no idea :D
 
After mistakingly sitting down to watch Friday 13th last night (more lightly to die of boredom than fright) then how come however fast or far the victims run the killer always seems to pop up, then a minute later he's miraculously at the other side of the lake that would that a hour to get to???


And why at the end don't they decapitate the killer to make sure they don't come back to life!!!

and why dump the body instead of telling the police???!!!

and........
 
Just watching The Golden Child on sky right now, they should remake it with Verne Troyer as the gifted little scamp. He wouldn't do anything fancy with an empty can of pepsi, just take a piss in it probably. Still it's just a thought.
 
Middle of New York and they find a parking space right outside bank or apartment.
I suppose 20 minutes of driving round looking for a space wouldn't be very entertaining.

Baddies are always rotten shots, and miss our hero despite emptying an Uzi in his direction.

No-one ever has to wait for a phone to be answered, a door to be opened or a webpage to download.
 
When an actor will say something like "this is real life, not a movie"

When someone will pretend to play an instrument and their fingers movements in NO WAY mirrors the sound that's meant to be playing.
 
The masked hero gets knocked unconcious but they never bother taking his mask off to see who he is. Even if they don't kill him or her which would be a logical thing to do you would think they would at least do that out of curiosity if nothing else.
 
The scene in Attack of the Clones (the worst Star Wars movie) where Anakin Skywalker is asleep in bed and he's moaning and going 'oh, uh, uh, oh' and you cant see his hanRAB.

The he wakes up with a cry or something and Padme comes into the room and asks him is everything alright and his response was 'I was dreaming about my mother:eek:'.

I remember to this day the recation of the audiance in the Odeon Leicester Square in the opening weekend, so it was packed-the place went mad with laughter.

I felt embarrased because I (was) a big Star Wars fan and had taken one of my freinRAB who hated it and he said I cant believe you have made me come and see this.

The acting was terrible.
 
When the "bad guy" finally corners the hero and instead of just killing him straight away he goes on a long monologue about how he is the winner blah blah leading to the hero's chance to overpower him. Tedious!
