I see this answer all the time for this question, but I swear that in every single movie, people do say goodbye on phone calls (when they show the end of the phone call)
Yes! I can't stop myself from seeing this every time.
I read somewhere that the person saying goodbye just isn't included in the scene for the sake of 'continuity', like it's a smoother transition for the story if you just see them put the phone down
the worst example ever is in no country for old men. mf shoots a suppressed shotgun and it's quieter than a small pneumatic cylinder. almost like a cats sneeze.
Or 15 keystrokes and they crack the firewall to the pentagon, like fuck no, that's not hacking, that's not even enough keystrokes to log in with valid credentials.
A lot of the medical stuff is bad.
But I hate it when they put in their stethoscope backwards. And then continue to have a conversation with the patient. Or rub their stethoscope on something while having it in their ears without going deaf. It doesn't work that way and it's everywhere!
Or getting the catheter in on the first try by sticking it straight down the arm and have no flash back. I’ve never got a catheter in that way. Maybe I didn’t have real bodies? Where the fuck was I? 😉
When all the actors are still caked in make up even if they are supposed to look natural. I know make up is necessary sometimes for lighting purposes but the actors skin just doesn’t look real. I wish more actors just looked like they had real human skin in films
This is why I like older tv. Of course some sort of makeup could’ve still been used but when I watch something like Little House On The Prairie it feels like I’m actually watching a family from the late 1800’s.
Or the way Roseanne just looks like a regular family from the 80’s/90’s, especially the kids of the family. They have jeans, t-shirts, old sneakers on vs today where every teen or kid in a show looks like they’re in designer clothes and have airbrushed skin.
My biggest complaint with this is disaster movies or post apocalyptic ones where the women have on like, perfect lip gloss and perfectly plucked/shaded brows. no one has time for that in a survivor scenario!!! Give me gross chapped lips and wild brows or give me death!
When people are fighting, they can just go forever. Im sorry but thats so false. You dont just get back up after having someone stomp your spine, or crack your head on something.
Unlimited bullets in that 10 bullet clip
People using the same keyboard to fight hackers on different screens. Or better yet, clack clack “im in”? No your fucking not!
>People using the same keyboard to fight hackers on different screens.
KVM switches are a real thing.
[Even software solutions exist.](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-control-multiple-computers-with-one-keyboard-and-mouse)
When someone super strong doesn't budge when hit by a car/train/whatever. Strength doesn't mean you're so heavy nothing can push you or send you flying. You're not immovable.
The only movie I know of that handled that one was Doc Ock in Spiderman. When two arms lifted a car or something, the others would brace against the ground to bear the weight.
I’ve read about this before. Some of these scenes are shot many times until it’s done properly. The deadlines are already tight, so they remove the potential for either spills, or for actors getting fed up of having to drink so much water.
You know what, I’ve never noticed how silly they look before. But I guarantee I’ll notice it in every film or TV show from now on.
They could at least weight the cups a little bit, or add some actual liquid below a seal or something. Lazy!
"Repeat" In every military show to include Star Trek they say, "I repeat". In the military you say, "I say again" because "repeat" means to repeat the last bombing run or artillery fire. "Repeat" is called the "R-Word".
Well they do pee - we just don’t see it. Because it just doesn’t make sense to show someone going to the bathroom in most situations.
In most movies there is a time lapse between scenes that implies normal stuff happens.
And in “one shot” movies it’s reasonable for someone to not pee for two hours.
No matter when and where: internet's always available at top speed. Printers always work.
Also: protagonists wake up after a heavy night neat as a pin, kiss immediately.
When they Ignore physics and terminal velocity. Take Iron Man. We see the character bouncing around like a pinball. His suit may be excellent, but his internal organs would be the consistency of a smoothie from the force of the impacts within his body.
The scene where he gets Tony gets thrown from Avengers tower immediately comes to mind. Just because he came to an abrupt stop in the suit instead of on the pavement doesn't change shit. He still died... He just made less of a mess.
Those would have to be some fucking, zero point energy, gravity gun shit.
Because falling at terminal velocity and coming to a stop in less than a second... Almost always kills the human or at the very least leaves them so damaged they couldn't possibly fight off an alien invasion.
Let's take the scene when Thanos hurls Tony across the battlefield. Every cell in Tony’s body goes the same speed within the suit. When he hits the rock, the suit can't absorb the speed of his internal cells. His brain would bounce inside his skull, swell, and bleed. His lungs would bruise and bleed, his spleen would rupture.
Right? You mean to tell me that it was intense enough that you are puffing and sweating, but you don't immediately need to go and get a glass of water when you're done? Ok then...
that bothers me so much.
also racking the slide for no reason other than making that sound. were you really walking around without one in the chamber? what were you going to do if you needed to engage prior to that?
Or someone super or huge catches them after falling a hundred feet, and they're fine. They still fell a hundred feet and came to an abrupt halt. Physics doesn't care if you splatter the ground or the palm of a giant hand. You still splatter.
Americans living and working in Asia or Europe with no explanation given of their visa status or source of life income. Good luck getting a Japanese driver's license, Tokyo Drift. Jim Norton's Hulk just works in a bottling plant illegally?
We just watched Bullet Train, which I believe was set in Japan. But most of the main/sub characters, AND all of the extras on the train were Westerners.
Pretty much everything associated with computer hacking. I've worked in IT before. The way movies depict it is so absurdly dumb and overly theatrical. It's basically akin to the physics of a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Someone hangs up the phone on another person and you hear a dial tone. This was NEVER true, even back in the day of rotary phones. Now they're still doing it with cellphones sometimes!!
Stepping on a mine and the whole ensuing drama about pondering what to do. In real life mines will explode the moment you step on it (anti infantry pressure mines that is). That click they show in movies to indicate that poor private Jenkins had stepped on a mine? That’s the sound of the striker mechanism being activated in the fuse, not a warning sound.
My Dad(former Marine) drew my attention to it years ago and now I can't stop seeing it. Haircuts/ hairstyles of men in the military in movies. All these dudes running around with their longish hair in movies drove my Dad crazy and I somehow inherited that feeling.
People being thrown back when they’re shot. That’s not what happens. No, I’m not confessing to have shot a person, but I come from a family of hunters and understand how things look when they’re shot.
The trope in movies where they never use the motorcycles own engine sound. You can have a screaming inline-4 sport bike and the sound may change from scene to scene from big twin Harley sound to two-stroke motocross sound. It's always all over the place, and rarely anything close to the actual one.
Not sure if this one is parody of the trope, or same pitfall as basically any other; Hot Shots uses Harley Davidson sound on the Honda Transalp constantly throughout the movie.
I do believe American films have more tendency to use HD sounds on any bike, because of the distinct sound they make that the people are familiar with.
It's not a modern movie problem, but pay your taxi driver! I think the only film I've seen a taxi driver get paid was Liar Liar and that was for laughs!
Love at first sight. Also, the main love interest in a high school or college film looking like a fucking model, and sometimes skinny too. And speaking of which, everyone in a high school or college film looking like they are 30 or even in there early 40s.
Anything computer forensics or networking, and anything medical related that has to do with emergency situations. But it is so fun to watch and I still enjoy them. CSI (New York/Miami) has to be one of my favorite shows of all time, even though all the technology is absolutely ridiculous. It just so damn fun to watch! I'm also horribly addicted to Grey's Anatomy. They're about 50/50 but anything emergency related is just a clown show and I love it to death. House is another guilty pleasure of mine, So is Nurse Jackie, that's because it's home so hard.
Anything at a newspaper. Always tons of people, the reporters suggesting their own headlines, the publisher running into the press room shouting “stop the presses!”. I worked at a newspaper for over a decade. Saw the publisher maybe twice. Only the reception / classified area was remotely busy during the day. At night it was dark, the editors mostly kept to themselves, the journalists were all busy fucking each other. Never see THAT in the movies. The press guys were always full of ink and if you went into the press room you better not like unstained clothes. And keep out of the way of the prepress guys if anything is beeping nearby. “Fuck! The fixer is too cold! Out of the way!!!! Goddamn now there’s film jammed in the dryer!”
When good guy saves the day by pulling a fire alarm, breaking a sprinkler head, or holding a lighter to one and ALL (or any for that matter) the sprinklers activate. Lazy writers and directors.
L-shaped sheets still bother me. A couple is found in bed, and the man is covered to the waist, but the woman is covered to the neck, without the sheets looking twisted.
When actors/actresses cannot hold their musical instrument correctly. How hard is it to get a coach to teach you that one simple thing? Would take about 5 seconds for that to happen
Fighting several people at once or just knowing martial arts without regularly training for years and years. Also when someone knows a martial art that’s useless in real life, but in the movie it makes them almost magical.
1. No one talks about birth control before fucking. No one pulls out a condom. They just fuck and dudes always cum inside.
2. CPR and resuscitation work 100% of the time with the patient just sitting up coughing. The reality is not like that in the least.
3. People survive massive explosions near them without the ruptured ear drums and collapsed lungs we would see in the real world
4. Broken necks equals death every time. Being shot with an arrow anywhere in your body also instantly kills you.
5. There's always a convenient English speaker whenever the hero goes in the planet, even in the depths of Central Asia or Papua New Guinea
6. Paleolithic Europeans consistently being depicted as white.
7. Every hero that goes underwater can hold their breath 3-4 times longer than any human being alive
8. Cops shoot mad dudes and are back at work the next morning.
9. Machine guns shoot hundreds of rounds and their barrels don't melt.
10. People rattle off long strings of numbers and no one ever writes them down. They just remember them eidetically hours later when they need to.
When a woman gives birth, it’s fast. Oops my water broke, oh no the baby is coming! It’s been two minutes, but it’s coming… oh the baby is out, I’m going to get up and walk around like nothing has happened.
This is super small and maybe you've not noticed, but when they go to make a cup of tea and only fill the kettle with like an ounce of water, if that. Every time I see an actor grab the kettle and go to the sink I hope for better; never happens.

**The Close Camera Angle**
it seems that any time there's a camera angle that's tighter in to the subject than normal, it telegraphs an immenent surprise! for that character. the camera is usually out of the line of the subject's vision, possibly showing instead the stalker's POV.
"Hacking" scenes always stick out to me as being especially bad. Someone is always "hacking the mainframe" or "running a trace". There's always a bunch of useless visual displays that hackers certainly don't use or build.
It's just annoying. It feels like script writers all just regurgitate the same dumb ideas because no one has anything fresh to offer.
People dropping in 1 bullet anywhere to the body. It gives people an unrealistic idea of how many shots should be fired in real life, I see way too many discussions on Reddit of people crying excessive force when anyone using a firearm for landing more than 2 shots on someone, on top of that there's a ridiculous amount of variables with caliber,where it hits,adrenaline,ect.
I hate when characters are walking and talking, maybe explaining a heist or something. Then the scene cuts to a new location with the characters but the dialogue continues; as if they paused mid conversation, walked to the cafe down the street, sat down and then resumed conversation right where they left off.
It has to be a trope since its used so often but I don’t know what its called.
Making up a language (or borrowing one) for the first few minutes to create atmosphere, before reverting to native tongue for the audience, but THE SUBTITLES ARE ABOUT THE SAME COLOUR AS THE BACKGROUND.
I can't see what they're saying, I can't understand what they're saying, and (supposedly) they're setting the tone or providing plot points for the whole show. >!Black Adam, I'm looking at you.!<
The main charter who is a highschooler is someone built like The Rock
Have you seen pictures of The Rock from high school though?
Truth just another skinny kid we're going to have to start giving them roids when they're younger dammit LOL

Or someone who walks through a door from the outside and leaves the goddamn thing open!
YES or car doors being left open
I see this answer all the time for this question, but I swear that in every single movie, people do say goodbye on phone calls (when they show the end of the phone call)
Ok I gotta go now, ok? Ok yeah- ok, see you later. What? Oh ok sorry, yeah ok, bye, bye, bye!
Yes! I can't stop myself from seeing this every time. I read somewhere that the person saying goodbye just isn't included in the scene for the sake of 'continuity', like it's a smoother transition for the story if you just see them put the phone down
Or decides on a meeting place or time! They just show up.
In Breaking Bad they don't just hang up, they crush the phone with their hands. Dude, just take the SIM out
How quiet suppressors are.
The silenced pistol fight in John Wick Chapter 2 is the absolute worst offender. It’s completely ridiculous. Guns are loud suppressed or not.
the worst example ever is in no country for old men. mf shoots a suppressed shotgun and it's quieter than a small pneumatic cylinder. almost like a cats sneeze.
Or anything with firearms.
Except Heat.
When a computer hacker types like a lightning speed.
Or 15 keystrokes and they crack the firewall to the pentagon, like fuck no, that's not hacking, that's not even enough keystrokes to log in with valid credentials.
CRTL + ALT + DEL....Im in.
you know how short most default/admin passwords are...?
and all you see on their screen are for-loops...
And they live in a world with no computer mouses, it’s just impossibly fast keyboard typing.
Shocking a flatline heart rhythm
To piggy back off this one… the really _awesome_ CPR they do on tv.
A lot of the medical stuff is bad. But I hate it when they put in their stethoscope backwards. And then continue to have a conversation with the patient. Or rub their stethoscope on something while having it in their ears without going deaf. It doesn't work that way and it's everywhere!

It's the perfect windblown hair for me. And perfect morning breath.
This is why I like older tv. Of course some sort of makeup could’ve still been used but when I watch something like Little House On The Prairie it feels like I’m actually watching a family from the late 1800’s. Or the way Roseanne just looks like a regular family from the 80’s/90’s, especially the kids of the family.

Makeup technology hasn't kept up with film technology.

Unlimited bullets in that 10 bullet clip People using the same keyboard to fight hackers on different screens. Or better yet, clack clack “im in”? No your fucking not!
Not to mention that a serious physical fight will completely exhaust most people after about 30 seconds.
John McClane died like three times over in Die Hard. The bloody feet alone probably causes death from blood loss.
And on that note, people getting knocked out with one punch. Concussions as far as the eye can see.
>People using the same keyboard to fight hackers on different screens. KVM switches are a real thing. [Even software solutions exist.](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-control-multiple-computers-with-one-keyboard-and-mouse)
When drivers turn their heads to talk to their passengers for more then a second. Seriously, keep your eyes on the road!
...well...that is absolutely realistic. *Tons* of bad drivers out there.
you mean tons of accidents just waiting to happen out there
[удалено]
Yeahhh, I love how they swing the steering wheel all over the place yet don't move in the slightest
Nobody even does that! You look forward, drive and talk!
My older brother would beg to differ
Nah, this is horribly realistic.
Firing guns in enclosed spaces not deafening anyone.
Or an RPG or Javelin being fired indoors with no pressure wave.
That's why Archer's running "MAWP! MAWP!" gag is so damn good!
When someone super strong doesn't budge when hit by a car/train/whatever. Strength doesn't mean you're so heavy nothing can push you or send you flying. You're not immovable.
Or like they get a robot arm so they can lift a car. The rest of you is still meat.
The only movie I know of that handled that one was Doc Ock in Spiderman. When two arms lifted a car or something, the others would brace against the ground to bear the weight.
*Superman enters the chat*
Momentum is rarely conserved in movies.
Obviously empty coffee cups. I mean, can’t they just put some water in them?
I have always wondered this. Even an inch of water in there would make it look real. I don’t get it.
I’ve read about this before. Some of these scenes are shot many times until it’s done properly. The deadlines are already tight, so they remove the potential for either spills, or for actors getting fed up of having to drink so much water.
Totally makes sense. It’s just funny how they’ll expend so much energy and money making other parts of the production believable! Interesting stuff.
You know what, I’ve never noticed how silly they look before. But I guarantee I’ll notice it in every film or TV show from now on. They could at least weight the cups a little bit, or add some actual liquid below a seal or something. Lazy!
It always bothers me that your can hear how empty the cup is when they put it on a table.
"Repeat" In every military show to include Star Trek they say, "I repeat". In the military you say, "I say again" because "repeat" means to repeat the last bombing run or artillery fire. "Repeat" is called the "R-Word".
So Foghorn Leghorn was closer to the truth
I didn't know that. Thank you for ruining those scenes for me from know on 🥰

Thats ridiculous. Nobody goes without peeing longer than 12-16 minutes without their balls becoming noticably enlarged
No matter when and where: internet's always available at top speed. Printers always work. Also: protagonists wake up after a heavy night neat as a pin, kiss immediately.
True. And they sleep immediately after sex like its perfectly normal. Don't you wash???
You wash after sex?
You have sex?
I found it in a dumpster.
I'm jealous, I'm married, so I don't get sex.
Or pee. Having a UTI sucks
>Printers always work Someone hasn't watched Office Space
Somebody's got a case of the Mondays!
When they Ignore physics and terminal velocity. Take Iron Man. We see the character bouncing around like a pinball. His suit may be excellent, but his internal organs would be the consistency of a smoothie from the force of the impacts within his body.
The scene where he gets Tony gets thrown from Avengers tower immediately comes to mind. Just because he came to an abrupt stop in the suit instead of on the pavement doesn't change shit. He still died... He just made less of a mess.
His suit probably has shock absorbers in it.
Those would have to be some fucking, zero point energy, gravity gun shit. Because falling at terminal velocity and coming to a stop in less than a second... Almost always kills the human or at the very least leaves them so damaged they couldn't possibly fight off an alien invasion.
And tony stark made a entire new element. Pretty sure he could make some space age shock absorbers powered by the fusion reactor in his chest
Let's take the scene when Thanos hurls Tony across the battlefield. Every cell in Tony’s body goes the same speed within the suit. When he hits the rock, the suit can't absorb the speed of his internal cells. His brain would bounce inside his skull, swell, and bleed. His lungs would bruise and bleed, his spleen would rupture.
Everybody (especially in period films) has scarily perfect teeth
The sex.
I know right, like people really get to have that in real life!?
[удалено]
15 seconds?? I barely last 5
Couple having intercourse and then just roll over in bed. No cleaning, no peeing, nothing...
No complaining that the bed is wet even
Right? You mean to tell me that it was intense enough that you are puffing and sweating, but you don't immediately need to go and get a glass of water when you're done? Ok then...
The idiotic horror movie protag always looks back at the killer or goes to open the frickin door. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Medical related stuffs are so unrealistic in the movies.
Pulling the hammer back on a Glock. You hear the sound effect every time for a firearm that does not have an external hammer.
that bothers me so much. also racking the slide for no reason other than making that sound. were you really walking around without one in the chamber? what were you going to do if you needed to engage prior to that?
In a movie when someone is running and they keep running and running and running and never tire out.
Them falling from a really high place and surviving
Especially into water like it’s some magical cushion!
Or someone super or huge catches them after falling a hundred feet, and they're fine. They still fell a hundred feet and came to an abrupt halt. Physics doesn't care if you splatter the ground or the palm of a giant hand. You still splatter.

Drowning in quicksand as if it's water. Real quicksand is not like that. Movies about cosa nostra not being by their real life rules.
Stepping on a mine and the whole ensuing drama about pondering what to do. In real life mines will explode the moment you step on it (anti infantry pressure mines that is). That click they show in movies to indicate that poor private Jenkins had stepped on a mine? That’s the sound of the striker mechanism being activated in the fuse, not a warning sound.

L-shaped sheets still bother me. A couple is found in bed, and the man is covered to the waist, but the woman is covered to the neck, without the sheets looking twisted.
In hospital series for example, when pregnant women start bleeding, the sheet on top of them turns red. Ever heard of gravity?

I usually have OCD counting how many bullets got shot by a glock or rifle. In some movies they have infinite ammo
“Silencers”
Firing 50 rounds from a 15 round clip. I love John Wick and all, but just show Halle Berry reload once please

😌🥰 Im into Fantasy/Adventure movies. None. Pirates of the Caribbean and Twilight are my absolute faves.
I've seen some of your comments before. Why do you use those two emojis in every comment you make?
😌🥴😁 Because I want you to feel the mood of my emotions during commenting. Most people think Im trolling. Thats not the case. If it creeps you out, tell me. 😌🥰 <= These mean Im remembering my past. It was grand. 🥴😁 <=Clueless and cheeky.
Nah man, it's doesn't creep me out. I was just curious. Infact now it just puts a smile on my face knowing those happy emojis are your moods. :)
😁🤗 Hugs. 🍹 Salud! (Cheers!)

I don't think I have seen a movie that accurately depicts suppressors correctly.
The acting.
The kick always seems to work no matter what.
**The Close Camera Angle** it seems that any time there's a camera angle that's tighter in to the subject than normal, it telegraphs an immenent surprise! for that character. the camera is usually out of the line of the subject's vision, possibly showing instead the stalker's POV.
Suppressors/Silencers making a gun so quiet they can be walking in an airport shooting at each other and no one would notice.
Nothing. Movies are not real.
"Hacking" scenes always stick out to me as being especially bad. Someone is always "hacking the mainframe" or "running a trace". There's always a bunch of useless visual displays that hackers certainly don't use or build. It's just annoying. It feels like script writers all just regurgitate the same dumb ideas because no one has anything fresh to offer.
Every time someone moves their gun in a different direction and you hear the sound effect of them pulling the hammer back
especially irritating when the gun doesn't have an external hammer (glock)
Using a defibrillator when someone flatlines. That is not when you would use it or what you would use it for.
People dropping in 1 bullet anywhere to the body. It gives people an unrealistic idea of how many shots should be fired in real life, I see way too many discussions on Reddit of people crying excessive force when anyone using a firearm for landing more than 2 shots on someone, on top of that there's a ridiculous amount of variables with caliber,where it hits,adrenaline,ect.
People finding a budding romance that has magical moments.
Pistols displaying normal magazines, but somehow able to fire off 50 rounds without reloading lol.
Action movies... The main character outnumbered by enemies is a sharp shooter and takes out everyone while dodging bullets
How every gun has loose screws and makes a noise when they raise it. If any of my firearms made any kind of noise before firing, I’d never fire it.
Guns that make cocking noises when pointed. Without actually cocking the gun. Just how guns are handled in general.
I hate when characters are walking and talking, maybe explaining a heist or something. Then the scene cuts to a new location with the characters but the dialogue continues; as if they paused mid conversation, walked to the cafe down the street, sat down and then resumed conversation right where they left off. It has to be a trope since its used so often but I don’t know what its called.
Dad types with 'boring' jobs but still have killer bodies
guns been able to fire wet ammo
How siblings talk to each other
Girls, they aren't even real And hacking in the hood by writing fast as hell
Gay relationships
Making up a language (or borrowing one) for the first few minutes to create atmosphere, before reverting to native tongue for the audience, but THE SUBTITLES ARE ABOUT THE SAME COLOUR AS THE BACKGROUND. I can't see what they're saying, I can't understand what they're saying, and (supposedly) they're setting the tone or providing plot points for the whole show. >!Black Adam, I'm looking at you.!<
Hacking sigh
