The woman invites the man over for dinner, the doorbell rings, she pats her self down, answers the door for the man, he walks in, asks, "Is something burning?" and she suddenly realizes there is food in the oven, runs to get it out, and it's burned to a crisp, he comforts her, and they go out to eat

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Basically, every "regional" area in movieland is stuck in sterotypes that were already outdated by 1980 before a lot of these writers were born.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?

No-go area - Wikipedia
shyt. i remember there was a time when the cops were the baddest criminals in my neighborhood.
:francis:

Western movies set in the Old West.

The main character walks into a saloon filled with bar patrons, along with hookers wearing all that feathery shyt. He gets offered some sex, and he ALWAYS declines the offer.


- Bartenders seem to know every person who is important in the criminal world

"Laser" blasters (in movies influenced by Star Wars) that shoot visible bolts that are slow and easily dodged, making them far less effective than something like a 1920's tommy gun.

Or Spaceships that roar in a vacuum
Traveling from one planet to another in mins not months
And landing on planet without space suits or beening effected by its gravity/time
