Why do people in films...

Why is it that the villian in many movies kills everyone at random without blinking an eye, but when he meets the hero he just locks him in a room or ties him up ???
 
how come when some1 goes to a pub and orders the usiual whiskey or bottle they start to drink end up leaving and finish of the drink but they never seem to pay
 
always investigate the sound of something falling over or stumbling, when the noise is heard from a cave/a dark section of a space ship, then they say 'Hello?' and when there is no answer and its clear it is a man-eating Alien, they dont turn tail and run but investigate the eerie location! And these people always die.
 
As do the people who say, 'It's just a stupid ghost story' etc. Or people with glasses, I've noticed that. The glasses always fall off when the person is running, and then they can't seem to see at all without them and end up getting eaten.
 
On a related note. In the few times people in movies actually pay for taxis, they never have to deal with the change or the tip.
 
You're welcome.

In a similar fashion, you'll often see someone in a movie rack the slide of a mag fed gun.

Semi-automatic weapons do require you to rack the slide to chamber the first round after you swap magazines. When you fire, the recoil will automatically eject the casing and chamber the next round.

Bolt-action weapons, like sniper rifles, require you to manually eject a round and chamber a new round after each and every shot. You see a lot of movies violate that.

The biggest movie violation is the silencer. Silencers don't work on sniper rifles... the bullet is supersonic, it's going to produce a sonic boom. Silencers are literally destroyed after just a half a dozen shots, and they aren't nearly as effective as portrayed.

Finally, the sound of the action cycle is pretty loud in itself. Think about how loud it is when they rack the slide. That happens every time you fire.

A guy hammering a nail is still quieter than a "silenced" handgun.
 
You know those rocket launchers that people in movies carry on their shoulder - do those really exist? Wouldn't the force of it knock you over, and wouldn't it be ridiulously heavy (and difficult to aim etc)?

I think arnie has one in Commando and you use a similar one at the end of Resident Evil on the playstation.
