Let's talk... movie cliches!!

[Legend11]

Here are the ones that make me cringe:

Horror Movies

- People splitting up when a axe wielding maniac is after them.

- A woman tripping while running through the woods while being chased by a maniac (who is sometimes wearing a mask with limited visibility yet never trips).

- The man/woman/monster that is stalking everyone will appear to be dead near the end of the movie but will get back up for one last attempt at killing someone before being put out of it's misery.

- If it's a creature of some sort (alien, etc) and you don't get visual confirmation that it's dead (no head or body) then expect to see a brief flash of it alive (so they can make sure that even the thickest of audience members realize they're leaving things open for a possible sequel if the movie does well) at the end of the movie.

Alien Movies

- The military is usually either shown as a bunch of muscleheads that simply want to blow shit up or they want to capture the deadly alien for scientific research for new weapons.

- A lone scientist is the only one who figures out what's going on or knows the cure/answer to things but the military and others refuse to listen to him until it becomes blindingly obvious he's right, but then they want to do what I mentioned in my previous point.

-All the aliens will look pretty much alike, you'll never get like a black alien and a white alien or whatever of the same species (they're afraid it might confuse their target audience or make them seem more human).

Action Movies

-If a skyscraper, plane, train, or ship gets hijacked by terrorists you can almost bet there will just happen to be someone who's ex special forces that just happens to be a passenger or guest.

-The terrorists in the movie will almost always be one step ahead of the authorities and have technical expertise that rival or surpass the FBI.

-If there's a car chase you can pretty much expect there to be an over the top explosion or an insane car jump.

-The cars being driven by the hero(es) in the movie can survive falls that would put any other car out of commission.
