Sometimes a movie shows something like this that makes you wonder whether this is really happening or whether the filmmakers decided to break all the laws of physics.
In this publication, let's remember the strangest, but already familiar cliches, blunders and other conventions that are often used in films.
1. No matter what happens, women always wear makeup. Even if they just woke up, ran through the jungle and went to a barbecue. Also, their hair always looks chic. The effect is enhanced in various historical films.
2. If a person comes out of a coma, he can easily get up and walk. He will lie down, of course, for the sake of decency, and then he will say, they say, I have been lying down for five years, I need to go do something.
3. Ventilation is simply an excellent solution for escaping or getting to secret rooms. Moreover, the more secret the room, the more ventilation there is. There you don’t even need to move around on your belly, you just need to bend down a little.
4. If there is a scientist in the film, then Cyrus Smith from The Mysterious Island is just a child in front of him. A character who refers to the word “scientist” can equally well shoe a horse, stop a nuclear reactor, or program a hack into an intelligent system.
5. The only thing cooler than a scientist is a programmer. He only needs to look at the screen, where chaotic numbers and lines flash, and then say, “Well, everything is clear here.” After that, with the help of chaotic tapping on the keyboard, he “hacks the system”, “controls the satellite”, “closes the loan”, “spies on Monica Lewinsky”.
6. If a person receives a blow to the head, he immediately passes out. And often - for a strictly defined amount of time. As soon as the time is over, the person comes to his senses and continues to function with the words “What was that?”
7. Strange but true, the bombs have the same device with two wires. Naturally, there is always a specialist who knows exactly which wire to cut in order to stop the counting process.
8. When an investigation takes place and photographs are available, the phrase “Zoom in to see” is often said. The “programmer” zooms in, and the picture becomes clearer. And then they ask him, “Turn around and show me the other side.” And he turns, even if the person in the photo is hiding behind a tree.
9. When someone drives a car, he doesn't like to look at the road. He looks at his interlocutor.
10. Does anyone even work in cinema? When a series of events begins, it is believed that you don’t have to go to work at all. At the same time, heroes always have opportunities beyond their income. House, car, travel.
11. If suddenly someone from the “scary” is chasing the hero, then the hero will definitely stumble and fall. At the same time, he can look with horror at the approaching enemy, slowly get up, and then run again. But what is characteristic is that during this time the distance between them does not decrease.
12. If the main character shoots approximately in the middle of the film, then there is a high probability that his weapon will jam or run out of ammunition. Also, such a situation can happen at the very end, when the main villain seems to have to destroy the hero.
13. One day one of the characters may disappear somewhere. But you can be sure that he will definitely appear at the most critical moment of the film. At the same time, he will help the main character by hitting the villain with ... (shovel, pipe, turkey, rolling pin, tray).
14. If suddenly there is an explosion behind the heroes, they are thrown back by the wave. But they remain completely intact, even with clothes everything is fine.
15. For some reason, young girls fall in love with fifty-year-old boys played by famous graying actors.
16. The main characters can easily get together. Everyone has the same work schedule, everyone has free time.
17. If suddenly someone needs to destroy data on a computer, then just shoot at the monitor. Data from a CCTV camera is destroyed in the same way.
18. There is always food on the table in the morning. If there is no food on the table, then the refrigerator is always full, although the last time the main character went to the cinema to the store was somewhere in the early 90s.
19. There are always free parking spaces near any building. Naturally, near the entrance.
20. When the main characters (a man and a woman) love each other at night, they apparently do it on the ceiling, because then from somewhere they fall into the bed in the frame.
21. If the film belongs to the fantasy genre, then the main character does not have a helmet at the time of the battle. And his well-groomed hair flutters so beautifully in the wind.
22. If some sound is heard from the basement, then you need to pick up a flashlight and a mop, go to the basement, open the door, shine the flashlight into the space and ask “Huh from it?” If no one answered, then you need to go down and try to find the source of the roar.
23. Drunk characters are generally some kind of scourge of cinema. For some reason, they become tongue-tied, they fall, they behave like ordinary people, but only drunk. And what’s typical is that after a couple of hours they are already invigorated.
24. If suddenly some character has wounds and scars, then after a few minutes it is customary to forget about them. Typically, some scars go away on their own. And wounds are generally easy to treat - you just need to bandage them with some cloth.
25. If suddenly someone wakes up at night from noise or screaming, then he must sit up in bed. If you suddenly have a nightmare, then you also need to sit down, but at double speed. The face should be wet.
26. Regardless of the location, the characters enter the house and do not take off their shoes. Hands are not washed before eating.
27. Any lock can be opened if you shoot at it. Even in code.
28. If the main character is destined to survive (and he does), then all the bullets will fly by.
29. Most often, the main character always has a “help girl” who either really helps or constantly gets in the way. There is a high probability that they will fall in love with each other in the end.
30. If the main character finds himself in the world of dinosaurs, then for some reason a huge dinosaur tries to eat a bug in the shape of a person, although there is a lot of food around.
31. Any chemist in the film is always shown in a room where there are cones with multi-colored substances. When mixing substances, smoke often comes out.
32. Historical films may contain races and nationalities that could not exist in the specified place and historical period. In this regard, the hare from the “St. Petersburg Team” with tights on his head and in a skirt looks like a much more realistic character.
33. It often happens when the required amount of money is taken out of your pocket. “That’s 2 dollars 17 cents,” says the curly-haired guy. The main character hands him two crumpled pieces of paper and several coins that were in his pocket.
