RichardP Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 there are also many listed at www.moviecliches.com. I wanted to add one to that site, but the site managers never replied: Why is it that when a movie character drives across the country, they never take the most direct interstates, but instead they take the most remote, unpopulated 2-lane route, which invariably takes them through the desert southwest, amid the huge sandstone rock formations?

jacksonbart Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I can relate to #8 "Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other."

The Germans actually spoke German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theryugobuddy Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 How about sex? You;d think that everyone, if they are having sex for the first time, has it standing up and against a wall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Adams Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Mine are the following: - Whenever someone is being chased they ALWAYS run up stairs. Hasn't anyone ever figured out you can run up for just so long before you run out of stairs?? - If someone is riding (obviously) a 2-stroke dirt bike, it will ALWAYS sound like a 4-stroke engine. And more times than not, it's a Harley V-twin sound. - If a car "peels out" while on a dirt road, the tires will ALWAYS squeal. - When on the first floor of a creepy house and you hear strange eeery sounds, the first thing you must do is to go upstairs and find out what is making the noise. Guess run-like-hell out the front door is not an option. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
