Movie Cliches you are Tired of Seeing

[Sunalmighty]

This isn't real? I always thought this was some NY coffee chain, wanted to try it even though I don't drink coffee

Some chain in NY has cups just like those supposedly

 

[Methodical]

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 is fukking truth

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Basically, every "regional" area in movieland is stuck in sterotypes that were already outdated by 1980 before a lot of these writers were born.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


thats why dont ever think its some "conspiracy theory" that the US gov't intentionally put drugs and guns and shyt in the ghettos

cause
that
shyt
is
real

Medieval battles. Hero always seems to find his archenemy on the field in an all out melee then they have a fukking convo while everyone is fighting around them, nobody even trying to shoot their shot with the two dudes standing idle

[WesCrook]

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

 

[Tetsuo]

-The hero can instantly kill bad guys silently by snapping their necks.

 

[3rdLetter]

Cragen wasn't saying that when his ass was in jail for dem prostitutes he was telling his crew do what the fukk you gotta do to get me out

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

The thirsty sidekick in all the nerd movies who's always talking about getting broads & being popular, edging on the main character to go for it.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Monsters, demons, etc doing that primal scream.

Humanoid demon doing that jerky movement towards the camera

 

[TTT]

TV series sometimes add a character with a posh British accent for no reason
Character staring into space - hero arrives- " i have been expecting you" without turning around

 

[KalKal]

"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.

 

[ORDER_66]

The White Savior Troupe....

Hollywood always shoehorning white people into every fukking movie to play the hero. The white man can never play the comedic relief sidekick and STAY THERE...

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
