Worst Movie Cliches.

[kedrell]

Bad guys with poor aim/magic bullets that never hit the good guys.

Oh hell yeah, this bugs the bejeezus outta me. I'm looking at you, Star Wars OT. Storm Troopers? More like Storm Losers.

 

[Darkness Falls]

Character you trusted turns out to be evil, turns a gun on the hero

Teacher frantically yells an assignment after the bell and most of the class has already gone

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That Sean Bean's character dies.

He didn't die in National Treasure

 

[Pink Ranger]

I watched White House Down recently. While I enjoyed it, I did laugh every time a character fell through glass and didnt get a single cut.

I'm surprised nobody like Will Ferrell has ever parodied that in a movie.


Ext. Hero watches villains plotting through a glass skylight.

HERO: Well, it looks like I'm going to have to interrupt this little party ...

Hero jumps through glass skylight, sending a rain of broken glass into the conference room. He lands on the big table on his back with a dull thud.

HERO: Ow! Owwww! Holy ****, that really, really, hurt! Why did I think that was a good idea?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

The villain picks up the hero and throws them instead of finishing them off and the hero either defeats the bad guy or gets away.

The henchmen fail their task and report the news to their boss/master then are severely punished.

Henchman attack one at a time and just are plain useless in general.

2 people fall in love-something bad happens-realize their mistakes-end up back together. Pretty much the same thing with buddy films.

- villains being so incredibly ahead of everyone else that they can pinpoint exact locations for things to happen etc

- villains being captured so they can do their stuff from the inside

- in romantic movies the antagonist has no character besides "hi, i'm the dickish ******* guy preventing the people you want to see together from hooking up in the movie"

The Dark Knight was alot like that. I had to roll my eyes that they just knew exactly where the helicopter would go (choppers in my area actually stay above the building, don't fly in between them)
