BillMCPeople banging off rounds from a Magnum like it was a pop-gun. Those pistols are kin horrible, kick like two mules right over your head and hit your ears with an almighty wallop.
Oh I dunno. I found it okay, plus I actually hit the target with it. Can't say the same for the desert eagle, which send jarring pain through the wrists and elbows. However, when I was firing the .44 someone on the range had a giant handgun that looked absolutely comical. Every time that thing fired (15ft away) I felt a thump in the chest.

Martial arts stuff - why do gangs always attack the "goodie" one at a time? They can't all be that stupid? (If you want a specific example, apart from Bruce Lee, watch the distinctly average remake
Give Jean Claude Van Johnson a watch for more on that.

At the start of guardians of the galaxy he picks up a rat thing a uses it as a microphone, then he gets rid and white boy dances for bit, close up to starlord with ratmike.
Sweet 16 was filmed where I'm from, and there are all kinds of wormholes going on. Plus a taxi rank that doesn't exist. Outside the worst pub on the planet!
City centre parking never seems a problem. Not only is there always a space, but so much that there's no messing around with reversing into tight spaces.
What about conveniently satisfying endings? Given the amount of unsolved murders in the states why is there no film where the baddies Do horrible, unspeakable things, you fail to empathise with them and they get off with no repercussions.
[i]Really hot people keeping their underwear on when they have sex. If I ever got a Hollywood starlet into bed, first thing would be to remove all items of clothing.[/i]
True! So many films where the bloke is like "Yeah, keep your top on, I'm not really that interested in what those boobies look like." (Obviously, unsaid). That's the most unrealistic thing EVAH!
punches to face...no marks, no black eye, no cut, no swelling nothing...
too many films to mention.

Yeah, and people just get into their cars and drive off without checking their emails, logging the mileage and various other pre-flight checks or getting into pathetic emasculating confrontations with middle class couples who don't even live in the centre of town! 😆 😀
I'll add: constantly wiggling steering wheels whilst driving in a straight line.
You've clearly never driven a Yugo, the steering is exactly like that, there's so much slack in it you constantly have to keep correcting it.
Actually, the brakes and gearbox are precisely the same...

Genuine giggle here
Why are laser beams so [i]slow[/i]? You shouldn't have to advance aim the things.
Living in Glasgow, see loads of wormholes in Taggart - seeing a university building as Maryhill police station when I'm just down the road from the real one, for instance.
It's funny when life imitates art, though - when there was a murder near here, the policeman guarding the scene couldn't wait to gleefully tell me that "there's been a murdurrr!" 😉
Everything shot in Edinburgh must have the route's designed by a black cab driver at festival time.
Shotguns blow a fist sized hole in a brick wall but neat wee hole in a baddie from 400m.
Theres a sound effect that I notice in lots of films. Every time someone falls off something high up they make the same scream, think I notice it more because I watched the original Star Wars on a continuous loop. I've heard it hundreds of times since.
Why do Legolas' eyes get bluer as the films get made?

Years ago there was a Michael Elphick series, called Harry, filmed in Darlington. Loads of wormholes, driving the wrong way down one way streets, etc.

Look for the 'Wilhelm Scream' on Youtube.
The same scream has been used in movies since the 1950s. It was used in a lot of films back then and gets its name from a scene where a character called Wilhelm gets shot with an arrow but it it had been used a lot before then. The sound designer for Starwars rediscovered it on a tape in a sound library labelled 'Man being eaten by alligator' and used it first for a falling Storm Trouper in the original star wars and then started using it in everything he worked on (most of Lucas's and Speilberg's films) as a sort of signature and its since become a sound designers in-joke and is probably in at least 200 films now.

Apparently Melanie Griffith had a boob job after filming Bonfire of the Vanities but then got called back to re-shoot a number of scenes. The yo-yo effect is supposed to be quite visible.
And all lifts have trapdoors in the roof and all buildings have ventilation shafts you can crawl through without tearing your trousers and getting filthy.
& how come the droids don't recognise Obi-wan??
"I'm placing these droids in your care. Treat them well. Clean them up. Have the protocol droid's mind wiped."
End of Ep.3
The bigger question is why Obi-Wan didn't recognise them. But then, why would he? Just one of those plot holes you have to deal with when Lucas cobbles together some guff to "expain" everything. See also: Where the hell did R2D2's rocket boosters go to?

I believe a similar point was made in Die Hard With a Vengence
Great topic 8)
why people decide that they want to watch something but don't have the patience to get even half way through before asking lots of questions and forgetting who the characters were.
Here is a hint if you don't know either pay attention or maybe your not meant to know until a bit later.
^ Why I haven't watched a film with my mother for years.
Also, why is an eagle call necessary on any sweeping landscape shot?
I know. No matter what film I'm watching - as soon as I hear that echoey bald eagle sound clip it becomes 'B-Grade'. No matter where in the world they are or whatever the atmospheric conditions - [s]bald eagle[/s] red-taile hawk scrreech! Scotland in the pouring rain? [s]Bald eagle![/s] red-tailed hawk
Anyone seen "Stranger Things" on Netflix?
All the monsters and creepy goings on I can accept and suspend reality for.. but the teenage boy? letting his girlfriend? keep her bra on? the first time he gets her in bed? Bloody ridiculous!
