In films involving race cars, they are travelling down a straight, flat out in top gear, then change down a gear to go faster and overtake.

Keeping a baby and children quiet while walking through a forest that has huge monsters that kill you if they hear you.

Guys with guns going near their target. The advantage of having a gun is that you can attack from a distance. Going near the target for some stupid reason and then losing it irritates me while I watch.

The fact that the "bad people" get killed with the first shot whilst the "hero" (female or male) gets misted by a hail of bullets.

Not that I want anyone to die, it's just that it's so unrealistic.

Yes! First thing I thought of. Every single action movie does it and just embraces it but it takes me out of the movie when it's so blatant. I prefer more realism in my movies... like the Fast and Furious franchise

I watched Terminal List (Chris Pratt) where the scenario was that US Navy Seals where dropped off 800m (half a mile) from shore and then, cut to the scene of them emerging from the water with full burgeons, full kit (including boots), radios, loads of ammo and weapons. I doubt that I could swim 20m carrying/wearing that lot.

I love these though! Any bs, give it to me.

This is very petty in comparison to every other ridic film conventions already mentioned. But I get irrationally irritated when in sitcoms the takeaway drinks cups are evidently empty.

“The bad guy is in Cairo now”.

*good guy jumps on the next flight*

Arrived in a crisp suit and has a full fucking wardrobe of perfectly tailored clothes and toiletries at the 5 star Cairo hotel.

My suit looks like a fucking scrotum getting off a 2 hour flight and I’m having to wear it for the next 72 hours, smelling of whatever motel all-in-one gel is screwed to the bathroom wall..

Yeah James Bond, I see you..

In the otherwise excellent film, "The Martian", the effect of a Martian storm (circa 60 mph max) was so severe it wrecked his habitat. However, later he sat in a rocket with a tarpaulin over a hole in the roof as at circa 18,000 mph.

Movies where cities are absolutely destroyed..yet the following year the sequel of that movie etc has that city immaculate..do they not know how long it would take to build anything that's been destroyed back properly..one building ...never mind a city ... anyway l suppose for films like that you just leave your brain at the door while you watch it .

In horror films - no matter how fast the squealing, scantily-clad woman runs, the slowly lumbering murderer always catches up with her.

When someone dies with their eyes open, another person passes their hand over their face and magically, the corpse's eyes are closed. Absolute rubbish!

Everything - I'm cynical in my old age.

They never need to piss.

Women's sleepovers don't end in pillow fights. (sorry guys)

The rom com happy endings I want to kick them both.

The ridiculous horrors I know I'll just walk into those dark woods to see what that noise was (don't be that stupid)

The road races, strangely no one gets hurt, the cars bounce off buildings and don't break, the best ones are where the bridge ends and the almighty jump to the otherside without the slightest scratch.

Unless that woman is Rhonda Rousey or someone from a similar MMA background… fighting isn’t about physical strength only - Bruce Lee was about 10 stone and 5’7 … anyone with appropriate training can overcome a larger opponent… anyway if he’s half her age there’s a chance flashing her tits would distract him long enough to deliver a killer blow!!

What gets me is when anyone uses a laptop. Invariably they just lift the lid and it's already on, and charged up despite not being plugged in. No booting up for them. They'll then search for something using the vaguest of search terms in some non descript web browser (and their typing will be swift and error free). The info they need will be found in two seconds on the first page of results. Then they'll just close lid leaving laptop on. No shut down sequence or waiting for Windows updates for them.
