This thread proves that "Last Action Hero" was way ahead of it's time. I'm struggling to find "new" cliches that already weren't being parodied way back then.

- subway exteriors covered in graffiti DECADES after they have been graffiti-proof. How many of us are even old enough to have seen trains that look like the ones in the movies.
Basically, every "regional" area in movieland is stuck in sterotypes that were already outdated by 1980 before a lot of these writers were born. I can mention that everyone from "Queens" is Italian with a Yiddish accent, and I'm sure not everyone from the LA Suburbs isn't either a Valley Girl or a member of the Mexican Mafia.
- Very little effort spent on any kind of accurate West Indian accent in the movies. That's why Steven Segal's "Marked for Death" is almost beloved as a comedy classic. Nothing about that movie makes any sense at all, but the bad guys SOUND like real Jamaicans so it's almost like an in-joke.
-The neighborhood so tough even the cops don't go there. Call me niave, but this can't really exist anywhere in the US, can it?

Yeah. There are millions of people who have never been to New York, and think the subways look like that. They also don't know that Wall St bankers ride the subway, and not just poor people.
I'll also add groups of middle aged and older people sitting outside talking in the middle of the day on the stairs of brownstones.

Hate this shyt.
M. Night Shamalamalamalama's unnecessary plot twists,
Michael Bay's unnecessary explosions,
Quentin Tarantino's unnecessary insertion of the n-word into his scripts, and
Clint Eastwood overusage of darkness to convey mood in the films he directs.
HOWEVER, I am not tired of Spike Lee's "glide walk"!

My father was living in Europe 10 years ago, and I went to visit him. We saw a train and he was like "If this we're NY it would be covered in graffiti". I was like "No, not really." He actually said "Why? Because of Guiliani?"
I had to explain that they've been using paint resistant metal since the mid 80s. He didn't believe me.

It IS real, but it's not a chain. Those are just a really popular type of paper cup sold to corner delis.
