Getting a concussion, a brain injury, is no big deal at all.

A character is easily knocked out with a blow to the back of the head and up a few minutes later like it’s nothing.
Yes this bothers me. I know that getting shot in the arm is better than getting shot in the chest but you can't just wrap it up and not have major issues down the line. But you will be having issues if you don't get that treated with major antibiotics and a visit to a real hospital. Oh yeah having it happen out in the forrest where it can easily get infected because you are hiding out in the mud and grass/trees? You gonna die dog!

Movie logic: Getting shot in the arm shoulder or leg is automatic survivor wound. The heros and even villains all survive this wound no problem. The shoulder shot will sometimes be made to look like a fatal wound but it never is.

Watching Hijack with Idris Elba and

they always humanize the white villains and treat them with dignity (cops, in prison etc), give them a background as suffering unfairly and weren’t always that way no matter what they do, they’re also incredibly cunning

Blacks/others are angry brutes who aren’t clever enough to devise great schemes

Any terrorism plot has an Arab in there ofc

Towns, remote areas where something horrible happened and a demonic spirit is now possessing someone or a place…they don’t think to just leave, burn it down? Why is there always a priest on hand with the answers? Should’ve took care of it 40 years ago then
There's also that one person in the town who tells the main character(s) "Once you're here..they/it will NOT allow you to leave.."

Then one of the mc's friends is like"fukk it.." and tries to leave anyway only to be killed by whatever it is that's got a hold on the town :dead:

No Whammies!!
I just came up with a one I haven't really thought of before, and isn't on "TV Tropes" or all over the internet already:

Whenever people go to the bank in the movies, its always a GIGANTIC wide open room filled with marble everywhere, and there are usually a row of tellers sitting at huge wide open windows.

Come on...Isn't Gotham supposed to be POOR??


When I go to the bank, there's usually a little room with a thick plexiglass window with just one teller working with customers.

The one man, who is the only man that can solve a situation. Especially if that man is part of a large organisation (police, army, secret service etc) :camby:

Villains that can't shoot straight :francis:
