more movie cliches

Can't get into the house? Don't worry! There's always the spare key under the welcome mat.

When a kid's dog runs away, it's usually been picked up by a mean bad guy. At the end of the movie, there will be a contest between the kid and the mean bad guy to see who gets to keep the dog. The dog is put in the middle of the two characters and they both have to call it at the same time. The one who the dog runs to gets to keep it. The dog will always start to go to the bad guy, but at the last second will go to the kid.

If the bad guys don't steal (or get paid with) money, they steal bearer bonds and they always remind everyone that they are untracable.


The villain will almost always kidnap the hero's woman in an atempt to destroy the hero's heart and spirit, but instead it gives him the will to go on and ends up being the villain's downfall, or the woman he kidnaps will end up defeating him.

Any kind of music in a club, at a dance, etc, always has a backbeat but no words.

Everyone's phone number is programmed into the same speed dial key.

Guns are always conveniently loaded with no more, and no less bullets than needed.

Even with three year olds running rampant, the mansion (of course) is always spotless.

Vegetables are always being chopped in the kitchen, but no one ever has the time to eat dinner.

Makeup in movies is mixed with a secret sticking solution, so it is incapable of becoming smudged or being rubbed off unless streaming mascara is needed for dramatic impact.

Black leather clothing is necessary to wield high-powered automatic weapons.

In action movies, there is always someone whose last words are, "Oh sh*t."

There is always one heavily muscled black guy, preferably with an accent of some sort, in action movies.

To be included in the geek clique, you must first have about 10 grand worth of orthodontia in your mouth.

At least one popular girl is blonde.

Even nerds don't have zits.

A huge wave of water or large ball of fire will always back up to give time for any important characters to run away. This usually happens when thecamera angle changes. Disasters that should take 5 seconds can easily take as long as necesary for characters to reach safety. These things usually never effect the hiding spot.

When two or more people are having a phone conversation, it is never terminated with a "goodbye", they always just hang up after getting to the point.

Whenever the hero or heroine is injured, it will always be a member of the opposite sex who treats their wounds, especially if the man is the wounded one.

If a man hits the heroine, she will do nothing for the present but will return near the end to give him a good whack. However, a heroine will never hit the hero back.

Teenage girls only own pretty, lacy, undergarments, and they always have matching sets of bras and panites.

Villans will always explain their plan, in its entirety, to the hero before leaving him in an easily escapable situation with an incredibly incompetentguard, or no guard at all.

When the distressed hero goes to drown his spirits at the bar, he'll say to the bartender, "Leave the bottle," and the bartender does, no questions asked.

In movies and television, Crime Scene Investigators don't just do the forensics, they question suspects and solve entire crimes FOR the DA.

Talking to someone in a coma will bring them out if it.

When the hero is taking on a barrage of the villian's henchmen, they will attack him one at a time.

If a man is dressed up as a woman, no matter how ugly of a woman he is, some guy will hit on him.

Cheerleaders wear their uniforms to school and they all sit at the same table.

Anytime a hero or group of heroes has entered the villians lair or any other heavily gaurded facility, the heroes will have to at one point sneak pass gaurds or hide from two gaurds walking down a hallway. And they will never be noticed.

While 2 people are talking on the phone, and one hangs up on the other, the person who got hung up on will hear a dial tone. (In reality, when someone hangs up on you, the phone goes blank and makes no noise at all, unless off the hook for too long).

A villain can hotwire any car in a matter of seconds.

Extremely wealthy characters speak with a British accent.

It is impossible to hear the television when a character is watching it in the background.

BOND GIRLS

Let's face it, no Bond film would be complete without a Bond girl. The faces may have changed over the years but one thing always remains constant, James Bond's inability to resist a lovely lady. Sexy, dangerous, bold, and brazen, the women in 007 movies are among the most interesting ladies in film. Whether trained killers, fellow spies or just hanging around in casinos, the Bond girl is as important to any Bond film as a cigarette lighter that turns into a speedboat. From Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) rising from the sea in her sexy bikini in Dr No through to secret agent Jinx (Halle Berry) doing the very same in Die Another Day, we take a look at Bond's most memorable ladies.
