Things Movies get Wrong

The high school scene.

Reminds me of this.

He makes a good argument.

pretty much everything related to military.calling in air strikes with no calculations being done,no one coordinating suppression.

wearing berets while in combat.

the hurt locker even showed EOD clearing a building.LOL

Lightning.

They always make lighting and thunder occur at the same time for dramatic effect. Are they suggesting sound travels as fast as light, or that light travels as slow as sound.

A bit of a pet peeve for me.

Computers that have no mice and can be controlled entirely by frantically typing on the keyboard.

i think movies get the lighting wrong all the time.. like in an office or a hospital or whatever... it's always very dimm with only lights on the people's faces.. that's never how it is irl.. should just be lots of cheap florescent lights.. comp_atkins

Or how about EOD guys that can impromtu become a sniper/spotter team, and take out some insurgents that just killed a group of mercenaries.

Bottomless magazines and clips for guns.

And in Shooter, the sniper uses a rag for a suppressor. Suppressors don't work like that. Hell, suppressors do not turn the gun's firing sound into a soft 'dil' noise.

More-so on TV: Why is it that the forensic people are also the cops who catch the criminals?

When the good guy jumps from cover to run to a different location, and there is a stream of bullets always one step behind him is very unrealistic. I've tried it several times while paintballing and airsofting. Nobody is stupid enough to aim two steps behind you while you are running. Stay behind your cover if you dont want to get shot.

Space!!!!

Thank you, that is all.

Relationships/romance..

When it's a movie with an alien or monster and it's not been completely introduced yet, the first time it encounters the protagonist, instead of going directly after them it will dart across the camera at point blank so they only get a slight glimpse of it, accompanied with some high pitch 'make you jump' sound fx.

Jason Statham should have one lead on the nipple and the other below the cardiac line if he is going to be doing electrical stimulation fetish play xaos

Meh, before windows, computers were all command line interface. i.e. no mouse. Much like when you use the "run" window on your comp. Plus, in a lot of data entery programs, there is no mouse use because it slows productivity.

I would say high school in general...

Oh and college. I swear Hollywood makes college out to be some glamorous party full of beautiful people and crazy actions without consequences...

Yeah I would love to see guys get away with the stuff done in Animal House :P

1. Fire Sprinklers. Contrary to everyones belief if one goes off they all don't go off. Just the one that is activated.

2. Military uniforms and "rules". i.e. Unless youre in the Navy you don't call a Captain, "Captain".
