50 Things we Learn from The Movies

Sign in to disble this ad
2. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.

5. It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.

10. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they’re going to go off.

16. Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.

26. No matter how dead you think you’ve killed a bad guy, he can still get up at three more times.

There all here:

People take their last breath at an effective dramatic time and location, and use that moment to pass on a plot changing set of last words.

The guy or guys wearing red shirts that are beaming down to the planet's surface with the landing party are dead ducks!

Captain Kirk on the ship intercom: "Ensign Smith from Security, report to the Transporter Room for Landing Party duty." Suddenly there's a loud yell coming from three floors down!

and, in a race against time, you will always cut the correct wire just as the timer runs out.

Nothing bad happens when it is sunny outside. But rain is a sure sign of bad things on the horizon. And thunder? You better get the hell out of dodge.

3. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there, and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.

As a former sheet metal worker, I always got a kick out of this. They always seem smooth as silk with no joints, plus they never sag, unless the plot calls for it. I also did the insulation on several jobs. The old pin and clip system could be painful!

Policemen/soldiers are completely inept, but a group of teenagers with no training or equipment can always defeat even the most terrifying peril.

All bags of groceries are paper and include a French loaf.

No one locks their doors when they leave home.

If a soldier shows a picture of his girl back home, he will die.

Cabs always appear exactly when you need one.

When you answer the phone, the other person can tell you an entire story in 5 seconds.

All car chases involve a fruit stand and/or 2 people carrying a pane of glass.

Tires squeal on gravel.

At the end of every phone call they just hang up. No " goodbye, talk to you later, no nothing."

i love these threads!

- no one ever turns on the kitchen light at night. you just open the fridge and it lights up the room.

- the hero gets beaten 9 ways to Tuesday, but only flinches when a cute girl tends his wounds

- in bed, bedsheets somehow always cover women's breasts, even when they sit up and everyone really wants to see them

- guns never run out of bullets

- you can get shot and be fine. even if you'd probably die of bloodloss/trauma/exploding in real life

- when you punch someone in the face, it makes a noise like a melon being hit with a crowbar

- the phrase 'we got company' can be used to indicate a dangerous turn of events

- terrorists are all from the middle east

- supervillians are all from europe. mainly switzerland.

- if you indulge in extra-marital sex or drugs, you will be murdered brutally by some guy in a mask. or a shark.

RPG, bomb, and rocket explosions are A LOT bigger in movies than any I've seen else where.

Guys, usually police, with pistols, always kill the guys, usually the bad guys, with fully automatic weapons.

Cars always explode all over the place, even in minor wrecks.

When a moving car hits the back of a non-moving car, the moving car always goes airborne - WAY airborne. When did stopped cars become ramps?!
