    Any vehicle that leaves the roadway and heads over the nearest cliff, will immediately explode on contact with the ground.
    Further to the point raised about WWII movies. None of the Germans ever actually spoke German, only English with a German accent.
    Whilst running, holding a takeaway coffee cup, none of the beverage will spill out of the hole in the lid, no matter how fast you run. I just have to bump my takeaway cup and hot coffee comes out like a fountain.
    Whilst the good guy is walking away from a situation in disguise, they will always turn around and take off said disguise, just in case the audience weren't sure who it really is. None of the baddies can see this of course.

    Not if it's a polystyrene movie prop chair.

    Ps treating everyone you meet as if they're unstable and have a 357 magnum secreted on their person is your best defense.

    Having trained Traditional Karate for 20 years, I have observed:
    After fighting for about 3 minutes, both parties are almost too exhausted to throw a punch.
    A few well-connected punches are all it takes to disable an opponent. The first person to achieve that generally wins.
    You can break fingers/knuckles punching people in the head.
    Most street-fights (i.e. barroom brawls) end up in a wrestling match after the first half dozen punches. (i.e. you need to be able to wrestle TOO)
    Most wrestling matches are won by the biggest/strongest participant.

    When someone behind is strangling you, don't fight back...don't elbow him in the stomach, nor kick him in the shins--just pasively die instead.

    When stealing jewellery, always rip a necklace off to make wearing it impossible.

    In bathrooms, you must have a shower curtain not safety glass so that someone can hide behind it.

    Bank vaults must be built over a sewer to facilitate robbery.

    Having a newspaper to cover your arm (while pointing a gun at the next person about to be shot) on your desk never appears odd and suspicious to the victim

    When giving press a conference keep walking while talking.

    Treat the journalists with contempt for asking pointed questions.

    Machine guns can fire for minutes on end and never need reloading.

    When Americans escape from a ww2 nazi pow camp, they can pass themselves off as German officers by speaking English with a German accent.

    In police shows like Midsomer Murders, the victim's spouse never spends the next week grieving. Just being normal and answering police questions
    After committing several more murders to avoid capture and therefore spend life behind bars, the confronted crim finally boasts to the cop how he/she did it. Huh?
    The judge always has to threaten "Any further outbursts and I will clear the court"
    In westerns, anyone who is shot has to clutch their hands to their heart and fall over slowly
    Crashing through glass windows is completely safe
    The head villain can shoot dead a rebellious henchman over a triviality but the other henchmen don't protest one bit
    Every underground carpark is a speedway for car pursuits
    When downloading secret files onto a USB stick, the computer screen must show a countdown of data and time
    Knowing a person's birthday and favourite colour will get you into any password protected computer
    The dumb school bully is a star football player
    Films have to take place in the dark to show how brilliantly creatve the director is ---and to make me switch channel pronto
