If life was like the movies...

With a few minutes of training and a cool soundtrack you can go from a total zero to world champion martial arts champ.

No NYPD station house would have been redecorated since 1954

All women could go to sleep wearing full makeup and wakeup with it perfectly in place the next morning.
Women could also lie down in bed and still have their boobies pointing skyward instead of separating and sliding down to either side. ( sorry guys)
No one ever has bad breath when they wake in the morning and are ready for passionate kissing with a loved one.
Love conquers all. All.

...and a nice collection if you want some more: http://academic.sun.ac.za/forlang/bergman/tech/glossary/ebert_glos.htm

Great collection.
One I didn't spot was:
Every defenceless character (usually female) being pursued by baddies (through the woods or down deserted city streets) will perambulate at a stumbling run and invariably trip over non-existent obstacles. The baddies, travelling at no faster pace than a determined walk, invariably catch them up. -
newspapers would always spin.
-
Articulated trucks would frequently reverse fast and perfectly straight, without banksmen, blocking narrow roads with no conceivable reason for undertaking the manouver.
-
proprietry software in any office/company/villain's lair would have have an amazing GUI with really impressive graphic effects... even if it's just for tracing a telephone call.
-
... and all cctv images would be zoomable 1000% with no pixelation and just a little blurring.
-
it would rain torrentially every time someone is heartbroken.... but only at night.

You're really getting into this one aren't you Jackson?

LOL, it's been a long-time habit of mine: "spot the cinematic cliche". I think I get it from my Dad, he had a knack of spotting anachronisms in films, the best one he pointed out was electric pylons in an old Robin Hood movie.

Satellites in the movies canRead your PIN number at the ATM,Take over the electronics of your car, and count the warts on a toad's butt but for some reason, we can't find Bin Laden.
Also, when the girl gets chased by the baddies, she is always wearing 4" heels. .. and can run in them perfectly, until for some unknown reason. .. as was stated, the sidewalk reaches up and trips her. Also. .. all the alleys in movies end in dead ends, but there is always a manhole to jump into. (side note. . .sewers don't give off poisonous methane gas or even stink in the movies because. .. as was stated. . .no one has to "deploy nuclear weapons" [go no. 2] in the movies.
)Even after shaving the hunk/stud/heroes still have 3 day stubble on their face and look good with it. . .whereas I always look like a diabetic babboon.

This confirms the long (british) held suspicion that you can talk to anyone in english, as long as you talk loudly enough.
