Any science or IT problem can be solved by typing very quickly in a montage of scenes that usually include a clock in the background.

When a vehicle leaves the end of an unfinished bridge, it will go upwards and sail through the air...landing just fine on the other side - rather than, you know, just going downwards and smashing into the other side of the bridge/falling straight down, and everyone on board being toast.

Similarly, studying for a big exam or getting in shape can be achieved with ease through a fun 15 second montage with motivational music in the background.

In old black and white movies, no matter how straight the road is the driver will jiggle the steering wheel from side to side like he's trying to make himself seasick.

Well I don't know about going to work, but no, I never washed myself or my bollix after sex.

And slam down, suspension maxxed out, but then carry on no bother.....I tried it once, the shocks came out through the bonnet and it ground to a halt..entirely banjaxed, and it was only a hump-back bridge....

The most dangerous place in the world is the death zone in a three meter circumference around james bond. For while everyone who comes into conflict with him is a poor enough shot to never hit him, they are a good enough shot to not miss by more than three meters.

Iv'e seen this so many times I came up with a name for it. "Daynight" where they film during the day but put a blue filter over the image to give the illusion of night-time. It's usually given away by the ridiculously distinctive shadows off everything.

If Star Wars has taught us anything, however, it's that when your girlfriend says "I love you" and you say "I know", that's the slickest move ever and you're guaranteed not to get in trouble.

Actually, cars from that era had some of the worst steering systems ever. It's only very marginally over stated in a TV show but I had the pleasure of driving an old Chevrolet Bel Air and the actual amount you had to turn the wheel before the car responded was obscene

Ah in fairness, in lower budget films it's sometimes a silver or bronze course.

Even on a straight road? That's interesting. I'm glad things have changed for the better.

Yup, if the road sloped to the left, you'd very noticeably have to steer right to keep it straight. It sounds scary, but youd actually pick it up quickly enough. Back then ther weren't any rack and pinion steering racks, it was all worm and sector steering boxes. Very, very strong but my god about as pin point as a mallet.

I'd imagine you'd develop quite the biceps if you had that kind of heavy steering as a matter of course. Lorry drivers must have had quite well developed arm muscles pre power steering.

When a couple have sex the woman takes everything off but leaves her bra on. How weird is that!?

Both people always come at the same time too, as if that's totally normal.

And you can easily rip a shirt open in the heat of the moment without popping any of the buttons off.

And immediately after having sex women will become incredibly modest and have to cover everything but their shoulders with the duvet if they need to sit up for any reason.

I think it's because of the actresses stipulating that they won't show their boobies, the no-nudity clause or some such.

Where the good guys spend the entire movie looking for the main bad guy who nobody has ever seen yet they have his full name, background info and a 'bigfoot style' blurry picture of him.

They spend a ridiculous amount of effort to finally catch the bad guy and 30 seconds after they have him in handcuffs, they get a call from someone in the police lab who tells them they caught the wrong guy.

Then it turns out the real bad guy was in police station for questioning until 1 minute ago and a cop does an action run through the station and onto the street looking in all directions for the guy who is nowhere to be seen.

Computer passwords are always simple things like a persons name. They're never something like "qhgvb&$hggg56!s".

Teenagers are computer geniuses, especially teenage girls in goth clothing.

If a childs feelings are hurt in school they can just run out of class without the teacher doing anything other than halfheartedly calling them back.

Anyone who is on the run can disguise themselves by going into a public toilet and cutting and dying their own hair. The haircut always works out perfectly.
