Movie Cliches and Film Funnies
These are great fun. See how many make you laugh... or groan.
From THE MOVIE CLICHE LIST:
A character turns on the radio just in time to hear a special announcement or some important news item. Then turns the radio off.
When you throw a knife, the blade will always be the first thing to hit the target.
When an intruder is in the house, the occupant will sneak along a wall with his back pressed to it tightly and his arms out a bit from his body, palms flat against the wall.
From The Great List Of Movie Cliches:
A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.
Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. You can always find a new one laying around the next time you need one.
From movie-mistakes.com:
King Kong (2005): When Ann meets Kong on NYC street, the camera flashes back and forth between them. When it shows Kong, he is surrounded by snow, but when it shows Ann, the street doesn't have so much as a snowflake.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005): The movie is supposed to take place in and around New York City, however during the car chase where Angelina and Brad are fighting off the three BMW's, a wide shot clearly shows a street sign announcing Los Angeles.
Elektra (2005): When Elektra closes her cell phone on McCabe, a dial tone can be heard. Cell phones don't have dial tones. Even if they did, Elektra hung up, so nothing would be heard.
From Cinematic Slip-ups:
Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995): There's a flashback to the crucifixion of Christ. The film shows him as having been crucified by the hands. But, as Liam Gibbs points out, the bible clearly states Christ was crucified by the wrists. (Gee, I bet at least Mel Gibson strove for accuracy since he proclaimed his Jesus movie was biblically correct. Mmmm... what did The Passion do re: nails through the hands vs. nails through the wrists? I mention it because a psychotic woman has been stalking me on the internet ever since I first asked that question. Some people get really nutty over their religion movies.)
Braveheart (1995): When William Wallace (Mel Gibson) is running across the field towards the enemy with an axe, there's a cutaway shot; when they go back to Wallace, he has no weapon. They cut away and back again, and now he has a sword. (Oh my goodness! Nooo! This can't be! You mean Mel Gibson CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A MISTAKE??? Whatever will the psycho stalker say???)
From Film Goofs from the IMDb:
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005): While riding on Aslan, Susan and Lucy switch spots.
Fahrenheit 451 (1966): When Montag gets in the boat to hide from the flying cops, you can see the rope still tying the boat to the bank. Montag subsequently rows away with out untying it. Montag's hair in the final scene is different than it is in the rest of the film. This is because Oskar Werner, to show his dislike of director François Truffaut, purposely did this to create a continuity error.
