As far as I can tell there are 4 different kinds of neck snaps.
The neck snap from behind which is a big production with lots of movement usually done in slow motion.
The one handed neck snap usually comes as a surprise. The guy doing the neck snap is usually holding the victims jaw almost in a caress. Then snap!
The bent over neck snap usually occurs after a big tussle. The victim is bent over at the waist and the neck snapper grabs him by the head/neck and quickly lifts until crack.
There is a lesser used one in which the two grapplers are facing back to back. The neck snapper grabs the victim by the head and breaks his neck over his shoulder.
I wonder if the snapping of necks is done because it is cheap and quick.
My counter argument is that I'm offended. -

Some sympathetic character, not a villain, in a precarious position trying to climb a cliff wall is about to make it to the top, someone is there reaching down to help, and the climber's foot slips. Sometimes the person reaching down grabs the climber's hand just in time.

When the hero must stop the evil computer program from completing or an email of utmost secrecy from being sent he will grab his gun and shootthe monitor? And in a burst of sparks the world is saved.

This is an observation on the genius hacker who can break into the big system database or local hard drive on anyone's laptop just by typing rapidly for about 10 seconds and then shouts "I'm in!" (This has been done to death).
If they do that then they never bother to log off after they find whatever they want to find, hence alerting the person that owns the laptop that someone has been using it as soon as they get back or try to log in from another computer.
Always remember to log off, genius hacker!!!

These are a few chliches that get under my skin when I notice them:
- Roger Ebert's "Me-Push-Pull-You" rule, where if a man and a woman are running from danger, the man will drag the woman behind him by the hand, while she gasps and tries to keep up.
- Kitchen Karaoke, where female leads dance around the kitchen to a song blasting on the soundtrack, pretending to sing into spoons and spatulas, shutting cabinet drawers with their hips, etc.
- Fake Punk Rockers (mostly in 1980s films), where a tough "punk rock" character simply has blue hair and some eye make-up. Too bad the actors almost never have the nerve to go all the way and shave their heads, wear a mohawk, safety-pin piercing, etc.
