The hero performing some sort of heroic stunt to kill a villain that involves sacrificing himself for the greater good...

And then later in the movie it turns out he's alive.

the hero or the villian?

all movies that have an extremely hot girl in the movie always end up with the main hero at the end

or

any movie that requires people to save the planet when they always do

I thought it was a frog and the Abomidable Snowman.

The good guys winning and good prevailing over the evil.

Also villans need to stop taking their sweet time giving the final blow to the protaganist. You're just waiting for someone to come and save the day.

here goes nothing.

the really geeky guy who always says "accodring to my calculations"

the generic kids sports me. it opens with some kids palying out on a field. they don't have professional gear and they suck. suddenly some bullies from a different team come and pick on them. so they get some new coach that tries to make them better. after a series of scenes where all the kids fail really badly at practice and facepalmes from the coach, some moral incident happens where they suddenly get good or something. then there's a professional game and tehy have to play against the bullies that picked on them. they end up winning by scoring within the last 10 seconds which go in slomo. queen's "we are the champions" plays and the credits roll. i hate these movies with a passion. hell i won't even watch the mighty ducks.

horror movies where some high school students go on vacation somewhere. the guys are complete idiots who think you're a social reject if you don't have a girlfriend. and the females have the IQ of a worm. needless to say they all get killed in situations where they could have actually live and in the end the biggest eye candy survives.

the really tough dude cocking his gun and saying "i'm going in"

the villian losing!

What's with the sex-scenes where they're finished and the guy rolls over and the chick's still wearing a bra. That's becoming more and more common in movies and television. I always pitty the guy "Well what would be the fun in that?". I always thought the blanket covering the chest move made more sense...

Tolwan

The Hitman movie just had the chick walking around nekkid which was a pleasant change. Maybe the chicks just put the bra back on? :?

i'm surprised so few people have mentioned villain winning. I want that to happen for once.

also the really suspenseful moments in horror movies where you see the bad guy sneaking up on one of the helpless idiots and it takes forever for the bad guy to kill the idiot.

kids who are superhereos

the obvious plot twists

Also near the end of the movie something happens and you think the movie is over but then its actually not and they go to another scene.

When a hero sacrifices themselves to kill the villain but then they survive. I mean WTF is up with that

the hero or the villian?

The hero.

Although the villain not dying would also be rather pointless, too.

The fact that the hero has the ability to take 100+ punches with minimal damage done.Cube_of_MooN

We could end that if the villain of every movie was that Russian dude from Rocky IV

The stupid Genre spoofs (Epic moive, date movie, meet the spartans, superhero movie)

The movies where two people start hating each other and get married at the end.

1. Geeky, awkward, slightly handsome hero that ends up with the hot girl

2. The hot girl managing to kill guys or robots twice her size

3. The villian being someone they knew the entire time.

When the villain doesn't just kill the hero. He puts him in an easily escapable situation involving overly elaborate and exotic death. And then he is lowered on an unnecessarily slow moving dipping mechanismGigagamer2

[QUOTE="cowboymonkey21"]Heroes winning, I want a villain to just walk up to a villain say nothing and shoot him in the head.... multiple times. I also hate it when the heroes win by no skill like in Spider-man and Iron Man and other things they do something stupid and win they never are able to just beat the f*** out of a villain. Villains are never the protagonist, they should be the main guys in movies and they should win over the heroes.dreDREb13

The hero walking to the villain and talking about how he/she was betrayed by the villain because the villain compromised secrets or killed a beloved one.

Or the situation in reverse, which usually ends in the hero overcoming the villain and saying some line as he/she kills the villain.

Oh, and those exploding cars.

Oh, and those exploding cars.Genetic_Code

People never do quick beat downs anymore it always takes forever. Seriously, hand to hand fights don't last very long especially if someone is skilled. They are only long if both fighters can never hit eachother.

But nowdays its only exceptable in comedies for somone to end a fight with a few hits. Why can't one guy just beat the crap out of someone without all the back and forth, I mean the good guy and the bad guy just keep taking hits. It should just be like, you win....you win! The end.

Also I did not know this until I watched the die hard4 unrated commentary, but in pg-13 movies you are not aloud to use an accurate sound of a neck snap...

This particularly bothers me with swordfights. You know, you'll have swordfights that go on for about 10 minutes.

Hell, even when there's an unrealistically long fistfight, some of the punches get through, and both the hero and villain end up getting hit a few times. Thing is, if you let the enemy's sword get past your defenses just ONCE, that's pretty much the end of the fight.

In reality, sword fights are even shorter than fistfights. Because once you get hit, you're dead.

Genetic_Code

My favourite exploding car scene was (I think) in the movie CHUD (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers). A car is rolling towards an open manhole cover at about 2 mph. One of the wheels then rolls over the manhole, and the car blows up.

*cuts and pastes answer from last thread*

Anywhere in the region of 5-50 professional criminals not being able to hit one guy with seemingly endless machine gun fire.

The red cups. At all high school parties everyone has the exact same red cup. I've never seen any red cups in the UK. Maybe red cups are an American thing?

Beautiful (yet unsurprisingly doomed) heroine gets out the shower. Thinks someone is there and looks round. There is no one. Opens mirrored medicine cabinet to get something. Upon closing we can see antagonist stood behind the heroine and and sharp loud orchestral "DUM" emphasises the fact that this was supposed to be scary and totally unexpected.

The hero can take infinite bullets, blows, falls and cuts but only shows pain when the love interest is bandaging him up afterwards.

If a car happens to fall off a cliff or canyon it will explode upon impact.

The hero will have the advantage in whatever way (ie pointing a gun at unarmed antagonist) but won't pull the trigger until the baddy has finished explaining everything. Usually by this point something else has happened and the tables have turned.

But that is the whole basis for shoot 'em up! I love that film :D

The bad guys clearly attended the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy

I don't know if this has been said already:

The villain tells his thugs to shoot through a door assuming the hero is on the other side of the door. After the thugs unload all their ammo on the door, and it is riddles with bullets, it opens, and the hero is not behind it. The thugs are suddenly confused, the main villain is infuriated, and suddenly the hero drops down from the ceiling, shooting the enemies with two pistols.

The scene was cool in Leon (The Professional), but after seeing it in movie, after movie, after movie, now it's just too predictable.

when people are nude and something is covering that part of their body, i HATE that :P

Any movie with the SLOW CLAP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhTiJEYqqY8

A gradual building of applause, usually starting with one person clapping slowly, and ending with an enthusiastic standing ovation. Generally shows approval for an underdog in a come from behind victory or after losing with pride intact.

Those scenes where a hero and villain are both grappling for a gun and end up on the floor with one on top of the other and then you hear a "BANG!" Neither screams but just look at each other for a second before the villain makes this face like he's about to crap his pants and then dies.

Movies that always have a perpetual underdog vying for the affection of the hottest, most popular chick in town, who just happens to be dating the most annoying, obnoxious, dumbest, violent guy in town.

Here is my new batch of complaints:

1) People diving in the way of the bullet to save a random person.

2) Stupid witty lines after kicking the badguy, or killing the badguy or wat not.

3) Shotguns blowing people back 100ft...what utter BS.

4) Romantic comedies where 2 people meet, they fall in love, and then one of people realizes that the other one did sumthing insignificant and sketchy at the beginning of the movie, so they have a falling and then they make up at the end

5) Invincible badguys...come on....

6) Heist movies where the robbers spend $200,000 dollars on the equipment to rob the bank. If they are so rich to begin with, why even bother robbing a bank!?

7) In Horror movies how people die one by one. In the case of people like Jason or Freddy, why go 1 by 1? they are invincible, why not just kill 10 at a time? And in the case of supernatural causes (Event Horizon) why not take them out in 1 go?

8)Overly stylized action. Ultraviolet is one of the movies amongst many that is guilty of this :evil:

9)Random accident at the most inoppurtune time. I was just watching Deep Impact, and the guy who realizes the meteor is on a collision course with earth cant manage to contact anyone, and he randomly dies in a car crash there after before contacting anyone :| and that leads me to....

10) All forms of communication randomly going down at the same time. What's that? crazy pyscho killer chasing you? well your cell isnt working! So what if you are next to a radio tower!? you have no reception!!!

11)People's phones dying in urgent situations. Its like people dont charge their cell phones anymore. For the love of god...talk about Cliche'

12) "Naked in Public" dream sequence...nuff' said.

13) Great sex, unless its comedy. Why dont people ever have bad consentual sex?

14) Minty fresh breath in the morning...I dunno about u guys, but my breath stinks right when i wake up :?

15) People being consciously aware of their nudity when alone. You will see a woman changin in her room alone and she will have her arms covering her breast...wtf is that?

16) Androids that dont need to have their joints oiled... :|

17) Computer going bad....yes, this is like the theme of 90% of all scifi movies...creativity plz!

Ok i get really pissed off when i see

1) The Main Character always having a hot sexy wife or girlfriend

2)The main charcater making out with girl at the end of a movie

3)The Bad guy somehow get to the main character Eg. Texas Chainsaw Massicare the begginnig.

4)Some funny Line at the end of a movie

5)The bad guy almost kills the good guy but get kills from behind

6)The Black Guy is ALWAYS a Ganster

7)Good Enjoyable Sex

4) Romantic comedies where 2 people meet, they fall in love, and then one of people realizes that the other one did sumthing insignificant and sketchy at the beginning of the movie, so they have a falling and then they make up at the end

II_Seraphim_II

omg, that one is so on the money! I hate romantic movie because of that!

boring kids movies that you know the end of before they even begin.

in like action movies the protagonist getting to bomb within half a second of it about to go off (I love how the make fun of it in the original Austin Powers).

DanBrim1

I actually like the slow clap when it's used sarcastically by the bad guy after the good guy does something like reuinting with the girl and embracing.

The token black guy :lol:BohemianAndy

Which is a constructed myth by insecure white moviegoers that probably have no black friends or acquaintences. Black people make up 12% of the population, so if there is one in a movie, it's not tokenism. Rather, its a statistical reality.
