    Make sure to dive away from explosions, as being airborne makes you impenetrable to physics.

    The washed up Holywood celebrity is only in it for a pay-check and to give the movie some celebrity status. They aren’t going to make it so don’t hang around with them.

    Any member of the public can hold onto a cliff face/towerblock/plane by their fingertips for hours until eventually being saved by someone just pulling them up by one arm.

    Successfully defusing a bomb NEVER turns it off, it just stops the timer with less than 5 seconds to go.

    The woman of dubious morale values is always a screamer when the monster/zombie/murderer threatens before dying a gruesome death.

    Large animals/monsters will always roar/growl/snarl at people thus just missing the opportunity to bite their heads off.

    Sharp falling objects will always spear the ground 2-4 inches from a fallen hero/heroines head.

    If disaster involves open ocean, the water nearly always appears crystal clear and warm.

    The protagonist jumping off a fortunately positioned precipice just as a dafty fire-ball (there was nothing combustible about) nearly sears the vest off his back. Then gets up un-flustered looking into the middle distance.

    The hero can hide behind a litter bin, car door, house door, plaster wall whilst being shot at with high calibre bullets from stupidly close range and emerge unscathed to take out the opposition with a single shot nearly always to the head.

    I have it on very good authority (ex Bisley winner) that a 45 round will go through a car door taking all the window winding mechanism with it shredding the interior of the car and collecting the gear stick before exiting very messily from the door on the other side (don’t ever ask for real bullet holes in your car, just have the stickers).

    And something I’ve learnt to my cost as the bad guy, is never monologue, just kill him with the sharks with frikkin laser beams and be done with it. Then treat your henchmen to a full medical package with a good pension and early retirement and BUPA for all the family to ensure loyal service.

    Not disaster movies per se, but horses run at a full gallop for many miles, through tortuous terrain, never stumbling or just collapsing from exhaustion

    No matter how badly society has been ravaged, no matter how busy a female character has been avoiding death there will ALWAYS be the time and the means to address the issue of body hair.

    When the world is ending, everyone forgets about the basics, like going for a dump.
