nobody ever says goodbye when they're finished talking on their cell phone.
instead, they close the phone after they've barely finished a sentence, get a determined look on there face and walk off like they're on an important mission, even if they're not.

This happens in all war movies - A chopper mows down perfectly lined enemies running towards the chopper, with dirt splashing up just in front of the enemies. If dirt shot up, didn't the bullet miss? 7.62 rounds aren't grenades.
In future movies when people fire lasers, why is there recoil?
And finally, computers making stupid cartoon sounds in movies when characters are trying to do something serious on the computer completely ruins the mood. If computers all beeped or chirped when we hit a key or switched internet sites, Dell would be bankrupt. -

The computer making the ol' "beep-poop-deep" sounds is something that drives me bonkers. I know why the sound editor does it, but it is a ridiculous reason. "ZOMG we can't have silence ever!!!! Music must play at all times and we must have SFX at all times otherwise our narcoleptic audience will instantly fall asleep!"

Every tech who ever fixed a problem with my computer did so with a combination of right-left clicks of the mouse - and maybe tapped five or six keys. On screen, hackers/computer geniuses clatter away furiously on the keyboard, with no mouse in sight. And I do mean CLATTER. Loudly.

When two males fight over something and a female is present the woman reduces the argument snidely down to
testosterone poisoning

If a movie is about how great the FBI are then the locals cops they take over from are a bunch of bumbling idiots who know nothing, however if it's being told from the locals point of view then the FBI are a bunch of ego-maniacs who have high-tech stuff but don't know how to deal with people.
Once I would like to see actual realistic portrayal of two police forces no, they don't have to get along but don't make one force look like a charicature.
I'm sure this has been mentioned:
when the man and the woman hate each other they will end up having sex right after the building blows up or the exhausting car chase is over..
along with the computer popping up the exact right info when you need it, bad guys turn on the news to the exact info they need then flip off the TV, phones ring 1 1/2 times (this one I don't mind cause I don't want to be annoyed by a phone in a movie either)
Someone else mentioned ( a long time ago, on a thread far far away) that if any character coughs in a movie they will have a terminal illness.
all knives/swords make that metal on metal sound regardless of whether it was touching any other metal.

And when a woman goes into labor it is always the quickest labbor in history. It's always so quick that there's no time to get to the hospital or get out of whatever location they're in. About the only exception I've seen to this is on Murphy Brown where she was in labor for hours and hours. But usually you never see anyone spend hours in labor

And if a pregnant character so much as falls three inches from a beanbag chair onto thick carpeting, she will have a miscarriage. Of the heir to the throne, or in some other way change the course of the story.

In any movie involving the removal of a bullet from someone, no matter what the location may be - the safety of a hospital, or an emergency situation in a battlefront foxhole or desert sand dune, etc. - right after they pull it out you hear a loud "CLANK!" because magically someone always provides the guy removing it with a heavy duty metal bowl.
But very oddly, no medical journal in the world has ever mentioned that there must be a large metal bowl on hand in order to properly remove a bullet from any wounded patient. Go figure! -

The high school basketball/baseball/football team full of rebellious athletes gets a new coach whom they initially hate. But then they all bond and the team wins the tournament.

It's been done a million times in disaster movies. There is a earthquake or a tidal wave or a swarm of killer bees or well, you get the idea. The hero goes to the man in charge who laughs at the absurdity of the warning. The man in charge doesn't want to cause a panic or lose money so he blows off the warning and people die. The hero comes up with a wacky idea that nobody thinks will work and saves the day.

The car/helicopter/motorcycle/bicycle/ship/dirtbike/paper bag/ microwave oven/cell phone or whatever always blows up right after the hero gets out of it or away from it. So dramatic!!
Let's not forget the massive fires caused by explosions in space.
Isn't Oxygen part of the fire triangle?????????

Fun topic Ceer!!! -

"Regular" fires are. But oxygen is only one kind of fuel. Guns, bombs, missles, etc. all work in space because they have there own airtight fuel/detonation source. Also, what do you think our star is? It is a fusion explosion of fire.
