Nobody ever needs to use the bathroom, unless violence will soon ensue in that bathroom.
MexicanRealTaco
In movies if you visit Mexico it is always "Dia de los Muertos"
CarnackiArdent
And always Mardi Gras in New Orleans or Carnivale generally in Rio. (Nobody ever goes to the rest of Brazil, it's always Rio)
blokeno79
Man I got this as an email (just text) back in like 1999. Oh, college!
rubyredxx
There's ALWAYS a prostitute & a thug in the background of the police station scene.
NotThisGuyAgain
The Saint Patrick's Day Parade guy is my friend Kevin! (He loves that that particular shot makes the rounds a lot!)
UnluckyLunkhead
In the movies, as soon as a car comes into contact with another, it will leap into the air, do a barrel roll and explode in flames.
bs13690
American Ninja had one of the worst offenders of this. A jeep hit a tree head on (very slowly) and exploded.
DrRad
In his defense, Bruce Willis almost got killed in the ventilator duct.
applesforjuice
He was very much found and shot at
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
I really don't hink he almost got killed in his defense, though.
FirstThingThatCameToMind
To be fair, if I heard you breaking into my house and I investigated it, you would be lucky if I was even wearing underwear
noyoohoo
You're assuming that wouldn't be lucky for the person breaking in if you weren't wearing underwear. Just saying.
textilelover
I have absolutely given would-be home invaders full-frontal me when I woke up to them cutting through the window screen in the master bath.
briham86
In the movies, all bullets are SUPER toxic, and the only way to save a person is to root around in the wound with un-sanitized tools and
briham86
even grimy fingers to remove the deadly, deadly bullet. Once it's gone, bleeding and trauma will stop and the victim will quickly recover.
KillrRABBIT
I ALWAYS laugh when I see this in a movie. "That bullet must come out or it will kill you!!!!!!" (Gets rusty needlenose pliers from toolbox)

Apparently his name is Noel Gugliemi and he’s half Italian. But he does have the look of a Hector about him.
RexFury
ExplainThisJoke
what he'll only accept jobs if his character is named hector?
dnichols853
In the movies, no one says goodbye before hanging up a phone.
williamshakesbear
In the movies, everyone also remembers a face they saw once in the crowd
lovecraft11
That bothered me immensely as a child.
Raecracy123abc
And people will call people to literally meet to say they need to talk which btw is always a death sentence
dghammer
Of course they don’t they’ll be seeing them in a scene or two.
MerpMaDerp
I actually came here to comment this... +1
ivegottwolegs
I knew a maintenance guy at work that did this. So I started just calling, giving my issue, and immediately hanging up.
kisselFL
My grandmother doesn't either. She just hangs up the phone when she's done talking.
EmoBacon
the word you're looking for is trope
metalfoto
TIL
daguq
Trope or lazy writing?
TeaAndChocolateBiscuits
Trope. Tropes are not necessarily bad
HenryHolmes101
In the movies, tires screech on dirt roads
KQRNEL
+ all The Rock scenes are played by Dwayne Johnson
badomenbaddercompany
Chriso325
What Im seeing is that all those movies are actually in the same universe... now I want crossovers , damn it!
CyBercrook
He even played every role in the movie The Rock
slipstream222
Your exaggerating surely he didn't play all of them?

Men in movies do usually so some pain will being beat. There are plenty of scenes of men grunting or screaming while suffering physically
dijital101
In the real world HVAC ducts are held up with a couple of screws and are not designed to hold weight. I've seen 2 people one different 1/?

occasions come crashing through a ceiling, half stuck in a duct. 2/2

welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
In two James Bond movies, he defuses nukes. They both stop at 0:07.
terryr
In Goldfinger it originally stopped at 0:04. When someone pointed out the 007, they froze the film at 0:07. Kinda obvious.
EzekielsRage
You know I've noticed a lot of movies moving away from this trope and shaking it up with timers ending at 3 or even .5 seconds
IZ42
The one about people taking beatings is actually kinda true tho. In a fight you're gonna be hyped up on adrenaline and if the trauma is bad
dietderpsy
Can confirm, once TKoed someone while my wrist and finger was broken, my hand was like a mallet.
IZ42
Enough, shock. Get out of the fight and calm down and have your wounds cleaned out? S'gonna hurt like a bitch.
TheIrish0ne
^ this, Ive walked off a motorcycle accident like it was nothing. Until I went to disinfect and clean up the road rash....
IZ42
Not had anything near that bad but I had an MMA training exercise go wrong and nearly had a tooth punch out of my mouth - fucker was shifted
IZ42
Down and back from og position noticeably. I wasn't in pain and only stopped moving cuz I was getting dizzy and the instructors straight up
IZ42
Told me to. This was after I tried to clean up in the bathroom, the results of which were later compared to a murder scene.
IZ42
Still have the tooth, was forced back into its spot manually then lined up with braces that I got for mostly unrelated reasons. Didn't chip
maholt
These are also true in the real world
ensensu
Imagine if the USA's president and vice president were like a buddy cop movie.
Munchman347
'Dumb and Dumber' was a buddy cop movie?...

No, but that's an idea.

Could have sworn I’ve seen a movie where the bomber used an analog watch as a timer. I think it was SPEED (1994)
Hungrypiemonger
it was, hotshot.
terryr
It was the bombers retirement watch, so he rigged it up as a 'Fuck You'.
bs13690
No, it was called The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.
briham86
Now I have a desire to see a movie with a bomb that runs on a sundial.
minant
Pros: cheap, relatively easy to make. Cons: can be disarmed with either a flashlight or a piece of paper.
Zap117
Also you can rent a big apartment with its own elevator for next no nothing
krampkytherandygoatman
Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave... WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!!
MightyIink
In the movies, no one ever lives to reach their retirement.

Thats why movies are great. They aren’t supposed to be reality
1Plebian
They are supposed to be like reality just exaggerated so it can communicate easier about whatever dynamic they are exploring.
DarkwingDuc
True to a point. But if the same cliches are used too frequently, movies become boring and predictable, just like reality.
Valharroth
I dunno, I think my mom may have been the basis of the bread thing. Not one grocery trip without buying one.

I like it when it's realistic

What do you mean 'not reality'. After Thanos' snap half my parents just disappeared on his way to the shops and hasn't came back yet.

I think people are confused and think it is though. Can't tell you how many people have told me "oh but it will all work out in the end" 1/2

No bitch. I just told you I have a terminal illness. Sometimes things don't have a happy ending
CRUSTYSMEGMA
That's why I thought RDR2 was overhyped. I enjoyed playing it, but I thought it was realistic to a fault.
ArtOfKarolMichalec
R2 after hearing your comment
h0tdoglatte
I actually love the realistic feel to it. Definitely the best game I’ve played in awhile.
Beenthinkinboutthosebeans
Especially when you get raped by a crazy hillbilly from the hills have eyes and when you come to the first thing you say is "Oh dear Lord."
h0tdoglatte
He just wants to be your friend...

I dont remember that part.
Beenthinkinboutthosebeans
My friend had recorded it on his PS4 and showed me and my reaction was what the fuck....I'm not exaggerating about how it happened either.
dazedNconfuzed
All ventilation systems are perfectly clean.
FoxySpirit
They made fun of that in the newest Spiderman game. "Fisk may be a dirty criminal, but he has remarkably clean air vents." I had to laugh.
dogestyle
And can fit a big muscular man
LiteralVampirePotBellyGoblins
Can we talk about the thin sheet metal ducts that can support the weight of a fully-grown man?

This is how they clean them, actually. Send a Detective through them.

An don't have sheet metal screws poking through the inside to stab you every few feet
PaladinDrake
In Die Hard, his tank top becomes filthy after he crawls around in the ducts. It’s the little things

kisselFL
And propeller fans are rarely used on ducted systems. Static pressure is too high, and they're noisy.
MelodyLightfoot
Someone must be using those duct cleaning services those nice indian people keep calling me about at all hours of the day and night.
