Worst Movie Cliches.

[gwynplaine]

t:

Lol. Samberg also did a funny spoof on the "monster appearing in the bathroom mirror or in random places" cliche on SNL.

Also another movie cliche is people living in great appartments/houses/lofts etc, they wouldn't really be able to afford with the kind of job they have.

When a villain says some witty smart-ass remark, and then later in the movie the hero says the same remark right before they defeat the villain.

When a movie has one latin character and whenever they appear salsa music is played.

I think the action movie thing where moments after being chased the guy and girl conveniently find time to have sex in a barn or something.

...or is stereotyped to death..

 

[Bunker]

When a character looks in a room for the bad guy and turns around to find them right in their face.

I hate that ****.

 

[BlackLantern]

someone always has a serious stash of guns and heavy artillery at the heros disposal

Lol, yeah, or the accordion for the french character.

Also the "red herring bad guy", a despicable character who we're lead to believe is the villain and will later reveal himself to be innocent.

And in romantic comedies the heroin almost always has a quirky best girlfriend who's unlucky with men.

black guy dying first.......not kidding here.

Training Montage in sports movies.

 

[BlackLantern]

its allowable in some movies....Rocky is allowed to have all the training montages it wants

 

[Bunker]

Rocky made the montage an art form.

 

[BlackLantern]

and I thought I was tired of it...then I saw the montage in Rocky Balboa and I think I grew another set of balls

 

[gwynplaine]

Agreed.

Rocky made the montage an art form.

QFT.

Kids Sport team...

The coach's pet (the main kid)
The fat kid who's always eating
The sassy black kid
The "nerdy" kid with glasses
The loudmouth kid who's always talking ****
The girl player who won't let you forget she's a girl
The tough kid (usually kicks ass for the time)
The ringer (the kid who's actually good at the sport and joins the team later)
And the misc. characters who usually have one line

 

[gwynplaine]

Rich Girl/Poor Boy in teen movies. All the rich friends of the girl are a**holes.

hey, i liked the sandlot (but only the 1st one)

 

[MrQuinn]

hey, i liked the sandlot (but only the 1st one)

well to be fair, there was no girl in the movie, the nerdy kid with glasses kinda doubled as the loudmouth always talking (there was also Yeah Yeah but i dont know if he fully qualifies), the talented one was in from the beginning, and the fat kid wasn't always eating, only in the Smores segment. He also doubled as the tough kid. The Sandlot cut corners! Good movie though, a childhood fave of mine!

Yeah, Sandlot didn't really do a lot of the traditional cliches; but I mostly meant movies like The Mighty Ducks, Little Giants, The Big Green, etc.

 

[Darkness Falls]

We're do we begin

• when a character takes their glasses off or puts them back on before they say something
• The Hero walking away from an explosion like it doesn't matter
• The Hero goes through something that would kill anyone else and just get up and brush him/herself off
• Villians that act surprised when the hero shows up
• when the heroes love intrest smart mouths the villian (think mj in spiderman 2)
• The Best friend is a stereotype of a subculture
• In a horror movie there is usually an ******* kid that u just hate
• Romantic comidies where they have a fight and the protaganist realises what they did was wrong and everyone has a happy ending

the 1st was good, the second one : meh, the 3rd : glad they didnt make one

little giants : it has louis freaking tully in it!

big green : meh..its ok..i like it

 

[PyroChamber]

In a fight scene; when the hero is going up against a group of people, the group will usually attack the hero ONE AT A TIME.

And even though I like it sometimes, the slow motion group walk.

The Hero walking away from an explosion like it doesn't matter

I'd love to see in a comedy where a piece of shrapnel impales the protagonist or one of his sidekicks.
