The biggest lies in movies...

Ghost Buster

For me its when people crawl under the bed theres never 6 inches of hair/toenail/dust bunny, the wee plastic ends off tampons, Nerf bullets or stray socks. Bastards.

Mr Freeze

Shot at car. Blows up!

Really fine ladies having an interest in Shia LeBeouf in the Transformers movies ( or any movie ), I mean COME ON!

Have you ever seen "how clean is your house"?

endabob1

Total darkness......

....Fridge Door opens, Let there be light on a scale akin to sitting 4 cm's from the surface of the sun

Agricola

Police using car doors as cover during a firefight.

chughes

Close up shot of one type of airplane taking off. Next scene, long shot of completely different type of plane which is supposed to be the same plane as the previous scene.

Akrasia

That stalking someone is an acceptable form of courtship (see every 'romantic' movie ever)

Harry Palmr

Biggest lie is that someone will somehow save the day.

Happy endings

YbFocus

I've never been able to speed up or slow down time. .

Topper Harley

Cars explode as soon as they have any sort of collision.

The Peanut

That token older gentleman - our hero - manages to attract the attention of the hottest female in the movie. The older western movies were priceless; John Wayne and co were all in their sixties and yet they pulled the 20-30 year old damsel in distress. Similarly an ancient Roger Moore as Bond...They can't all have daddy issues.

jaja321

Below average to waaay below average looking guys paired with much better looking women.

maximoose

Silencers making guns silent, with that cool 'pfoot' sound.

I can. It's quite simple. If you really want/need time to slow down, it'll speed up and vice versa.

All ugly girls are secretly stunners who just wear bad clothes, glasses and need a haircut.

This actually happens. In the US car doors are specially armoured to resist penetration by small arms, so unless the suspect has a bazooka then it's better than standing out in the open.

Also happens in real life.

I'd argue that's it's nowhere near to the same extent, nor are the differences as vast.

One eyed Jack

That Irish people all speak like we need subtitles.

DarkyHughes

That Michael Collins was straight.

Pumpkinseeds

Women wake up in bed with perfect hair and perfect makeup every morning, it's like magic and the bed doesn't look slept in.

gramar

All phone numbers begin with...555.....

yeppydeppy

The L shaped bed sheet.

wuzziwig

The baddie is a crack shot until he/she goes to shoot the hero/heroine and suddenly their aim goes to sh1t and despite firing 20 million bullets at point blank range none of them find the target.

Generic Dreadhead

Noone has walked away from an explosion

secman

At the end of Braveheart where it states that Scotland won their freedom....... couldn't even win a referendum. ....

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Whispered conversations in nightclubs

Soups123

That you can be shot at 1000 times from the ground and air and not get hit yet you can take down a helicopter and 15 men on the ground with just 16 bullets, and continue to be missed while your ducked and reloading your gun, allst while having a hot lady follow around.

Soups123

Oh and everyone who is getting chased falls and either sprains the ankle or buckles the knee without fail

The Backwards Man

Whenever the goodies are going somewhere in a big city, to interview a suspect or whatever, they just park outside the door. You never see them driving around for half an hour looking for a parking spot or a multi story, then have to walk two or three miles to where they are going.

Can't count the number of films that has ruined for me.

Computers beep when performing the most mundane of tasks.

They don't when I use them.

Or they always remember where they parked their car in a strange carpark

B.A. Baracus gets punched multiple times but has no effect on him until he is about to get on a plane -
do they think we are FOOL(s)

I'm expected to believe in a chase on foot, that a shoe lace never becomes untied. Bond would be much better if he raised up his hand to signal he had to tie his shoe.

valoren

6 foot plus criminal car jacks a 5 foot nothings car during a chase.

The setup of the drivers seat will perfectly accomodate his height and frame during the ensuing chase.

Dravokivich

If you've never used a gun of any kind before, it's grand, you'll get to hold one and some ammo for the guy that is really skillfull with'em then later on you'll be well up for it, to the point you'll turn around to a rookie scornfully because they don't know what to do.

Beautiful women don't go with er..."average-looking guys", eh? What about Gerard Kean and the gorgeous Lisa Murphy, so there?

Maximus Alexander

Rifles can hold hundreds of rounds in a single magazine.

Take away coffee cups are always empty until you want to drink out of them.

Everything is flammable if you just bang it hard enough.

It actually matters if you reveal the government's terrible secrets to the press, and the public won't just forget all about it the following week.

Ripped men with 2% body fat drink beer, eat pizza and talk about things other than their diet and gym routines.

Funnny you should mention that, I really want to see a movie with everything that's been mentioned here.

Except for Lisa Murphy.

Or when somebody is "hacking" into somewhere there is a lovely fancy interface with a big Enter Password dialogue box. Simply type in the easy to guess password and boom your logged on to a lovely menu where you can disable a nuclear missile from the click of a button.

The Backwards Man

Where do megalomaniacs get their henchmen? And how do the henchmen get health insurance? I can't imagine the VHI taking me on if I was employed in a dastardly plot to take over the world.

No, silly. It's all touch screens now. Mouse-clicks are so 1990's.

Biggest lie in movies...

Person is saying something bad about their boss/teacher/girlfriend/whoever. Turns out the person they were talking about was standing behind them the whole time. Then they say "uh oh, they're behind me aren't they?" without even looking. I refuse to believe that such a scenario has ever happened.
