When suspension of disbelief just wont cut it?

Basically anytime a villain is 1000 steps ahead of the good guys.
 
Some said it earlier, but definitely the scene in Live Free or Die Hard when McClane being attacked by the fighter jet. Though I enjoyed it still.
 
The Dark Knight:

Joker takes a swan dive from the top floor of a building and Batman catches him with the grapple gun--2 things should've happed. 1) Joker's leg/foot comes off from the force of his fall and being stopped so suddenly. 2) Batman should be catapulted out of the window by the pull of the Joker falling--ahh but he used a bar above the window to take the strain... yes, indeed he did, but how the f*** did he get the line and grapple gun over it so quickly after that awesome shot?

Let me guess. He's the goddamned Batman, right?

That one bothers me more than the drop with Dawes. You see his cape extend slightly at the last moment and you also hear the sound effect. Also, we all know cars in Hollywood films are made out of sugar puffs and snowflakes.
:lmao:
 
When you have your 90lb female beating up on 200lb men (Buffy, Firefly/Serenity, any Angelina Jolie movie etc)

The Rocky movies, from part II on, all of his fights should've ended in the first two rounds, no way would a competent ref allow Rocky to take that much punishment or allow for him to get dropped so much even if the three knockdown rule wasn't in effect.

When a normal everyday joe gets a gun for the first time and becomes an expert marksman.

This one annoys me the most.

You've got to let Buffy slide, though. She's literally got super strength. Just throw on your "superhero goggles."

Also, you forgot Milla Jovovich. That lady shouldn't be able to survive an especially windy day, let alone 90% of the fights in her movies.
 
any movie where they zoom into noisy security cam footage x1,000 and somehow not lose image resolution

you'd think filmmakers would know more than anyone thats impossible.

I liked that The Town used more real (******) video of the bank robbery.
 
In The Dark Knight the Joker sets off an explosive to escape the police station. This bombs knocks out everybody in the room but the Joker who is unfazed.
 
Yes they will still continue to have scenes were Superman saves Lois even though he has the potential to unintentionally hurt her or anybody else while trying to save them. Things like physics & such will always be thrown out the window when it comes to superhero movies.
It's a SUPERMAN movie. You know that guy who FLIES.
 
I the Dark Knight where Rachel and Batman fall off the roof of the skyscraper and land on a car un hurt!
 
Ducth surviving a seemingly nuclear blast by hiding behind a rock,
 
Anything with Denzel Washington being an ordinary guy thrown into an extraordinary situation.
 
I felt the 2 boats with explosives scene in TDK was unbelievable. Perhaps it is my lack of faith in humanity. But those people on the non-prisoner boat would have lit those prisoners up like a candle in a heart beat.
 
In The Crazies, when the military nuke the town, and the last two are escaping in the semi, and what I'm assuming is a nuke - is dropped on the town behind them, the impact from it catches up to them and the truck flips over a few times, and then they just get out and look at the flames of the town. Holding hands.

You have to suspend your belief a lot for the movie, and it's really really good and jumpy :D but that part, reminded me of this thread.
 
Anytime the movie's good guys uses their high tech computers to turn a pixelated image into something super high-resolution using the magical "enhance image" button :doh:
 
Batman 89, where the Batwing unloads all of its weapons at Joker. The thing was armed with four machine guns and four missiles/rockets. The blast effect of the missiles alone probably would of knocked Joker off his ass.
 
Return of the Jedi - When they are blowing up the Shield Generator on Endor. Han Solo runs ten feet out the back door, an explosion goes off that looks like it should incinerate everything in a three mile radius, and then Han just gets up and walks off.

The blast was farther away, the bunker is what he blew up, the big dish farther away was the huge ball of fire.

Anytime a character uses a computer, can't get access/doesn't know the password, and in seconds can hack/deduce the password......

......silliest moment to me in a film using the above, Batman & Robin, with Barbara before she's Batgirl...:whatever:...
