Only in the movies....

[Chris Wallace]

This thread is about common elements found in movies that just wouldn't go over in real life. For example:
Only in the movies-is it totally forgiveable to commit a string of illegal acts in an attempt to exonerate yourself of the one crime you didn't commit. (The Fugitive, The Negotiator, for example.)
Only in the movies-can you walk into a bar & simply order "a beer"; as if they only carry one brand & serve it one way. (X-Men)

LOL.
That made me laugh, and is so true.

A tv ad comes on for something that specifically addresses your problem.

You fly backwards when shot. (most of the time)

Oh, C'mon! It's Canada! Take it from a canuck, it's either Molson or LaBatt, you can't really complain one way or the other!

Cars blow up like hell when you shoot them with a pistol.

That was the only example I can think of, but it happens in movies all the time. People order generically like that. A beer, white wine-no specifics.

All phone numbers start with 555.

That, I learned, is a deliberate thing to deter sickos/losers/people w/nothing better to do from calling the # they give & asking for fictional characters.

An ugly guy hooks up with a hot chick. i.e. Click, any Woody Allen movie, When Harry Met Sally, etc.

Guns rarely ever need to be reloaded.

Oh-how about this one:
A cop can kill every suspect, destroy every shred of evidence, cause millions in property damage & not get in trouble. (Running Scared, the Lethal Weapon movies)

That happens quite often actually. I've seen a lot of WTF couples...Hell, all you have to do is take one good look at hollywood. You'd think they were paying these women to date them.

Oh yeah. Punching through windows is completely harmless apparantly...Oh and punching someone in the face will knock em out every time. HA!

Only in the movies can someone reverse the Earth's rotation without the Earth completely ripping apart

 

[xwolverine2]

only in the movies can someone break into your house,sneak through,hide,better than you can

Guns rarely ever need to be reloaded.

Oh, God-don't get me started on that one! I catually counted the shots a cop fired in a movie once; he had a different number of rounds in each magazine.
Put that right up there with numerous rounds being fired from machine guns w/o anybody getting so much as grazed.

 

[xwolverine2]

cops never win in car chases....

 

[The Chairman]

Only in a movie can a man be riddled with fifty something bullet holes (from high powered machine guns) and still manage to verbally put down his enemies and fire a few rounds before finally dying. (Scarface)

You can go back in time

Very true on both counts.
