All right...
Ever notice how a hero in a movie is always the strongest, most skillful, and the luckiest bastard in every situation? Or wonder why the police never get to save the day, no matter how many are there who are intent on the case (well, except if the protagonist is actually a member of the task force). Well, these are just some of the most annoying elements a movie has. I've carefully listed the top ten most annoying movie cliches. The next time you watch a movie, make sure you have a copy at hand, because for sure at least ne of them is present in that movie! chupz.. ^__^
10. If a plane runs out of fuel and crashes, it still explodes as if the tank were full.
09. People never cough, sneeze, blow their noses, or show any other symptoms of being in less than perfect health.
Only exception to the above is when they're dying. A cough is a symptom of terminal illness.
08. In movies people with problems always go and drive a car with an open beer can in their hand. Obviously they get drunk from that _one can_, because they usually crash into something.
07. A river from a burst dam can exactly keep pace with a pickup truck for several minutes. It will then obligingly pause as the pickup truck turns around and goes in another direction.
06. All members of alien species wear the same outfits, including clothing, hairstyles, and jewelery. This makes them readily identifiable. Aliens who do not dress like aliens are hiding something.
05. Every time some guy walks into a bar, usually the hero, he gets into a fight. Usually right under a BUDWEISER sign (see "product placement"). Likelihood of fight increases if country music is playing in the background.
04. People being chased by a car will keep running down the middle of the road instead of ducking in somewhere where a car cannot go.
03. A hero will show no pain even during the most terrific beating, yet he will wince if a women attempts to clean a facial wound.
02. A car will always explode when shot at, unless the hero is driving it.
....and the topmost cliche of all time, which appears in almost every action movies...
01. The bomb scene! Alright this takes time to explain, but I know everyone (that is everyone who's seen at least two action movies with bomb scenes) can relate to this.
Evil geniuses who devise bombs to destroy things/people always have them detonate after at least an hour, giving the hero ample time to defuse it. All wires have different colors, so the hero can easily differentiate them when he has to cut the right one. After much debate on whether to cut the red, blue, yellow or black wire(this takes a lot of time, much longer than the remaining seconds left on the timer), he cuts the wire to the detonator.. pause..sweats profusely, but audience, never worry for the timer always stops. The hero will not be able to do this, however, until only one second remains.
haha...and that's the top ten list of the most horrible, illogical, nonsensical movie cliches of all time. It's been tried and tested, so don't go questioning this. peace!
