Women's showers dispense makeup onto their face even when the showering was partly for the purpose of removing makeup.

The bad guys have terrible aim.

Only disposable bad guys and only when shooting at main characters.


Main characters are impossible to hit. Extras are like magnets.

Everything has some form of self-destruct and you know it will be used.
Perhaps you should ask bosk to reverse the "e" and "a" in the second half of your user name.

I just watched The Avengers and I realized that no matter how many times New York City (or any other city for that matter) is destroyed. It will be rebuilt before the credits are over.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking The Avengers in particular, so let me rephrase: In most movies and TV shows for that matter, no matter what chaos occurs, the city in which the show is set will be restored to it's original condition. Take Springfield from The Simpsons for instance, or the high school from Saved By The Bell

Also, it seems that being bashed in the head with a rifle or gun will cause no damage other than being knocked out.

There isn't a single high school in the world that isn't rife with bullying and drug sale. Also, it's normal for all high schoolers to look like they're in their 20s.

That every highway accident on C.H.I.P.S Never involved new cars in the 80's.

So never drive a 60's or 70's car.

The bad guys have terrible aim.

Only disposable bad guys and only when shooting at main characters.


Main characters are impossible to hit. Extras are like magnets.

The main character will always be able to run safely during semi automatic fire while soon after they take cover, they can take out the semi automatic gun wielders with one single bullet from a pistol.

When staying in an apartment in the US you constantly hear ambulance noises from the street.

Then I moved to the US and found it to be true.

While pursuing suspects, police officers will yell "Freeze!" or "Stop or I'll shoot!" at least twice to remind the escaping suspects that they actually have no intention of shooting.

Kind of in the same vein.  I always laughed when Superman thrust out his chest and boldly stood his ground when the bad guy was shooting at him as the bullets bounced off his body, but when the bad guy emptied the chamber and then threw the gun at Superman, he ducked.

Is it wrong to enjoy the sound of sirens? Obviously someone is hurt/in danger (which is not good) but I always loved the echoey sound effects they make.

1.  No amount of the best military training the galaxy has to offer can help stormtroopers fire straight.
2.  The above rule does not apply where stormtroopers are shooting at characters whose names you don't know without having to look them up in the credits.

Unless the protagonist's significant other is closeby, in which case:
1.  If it is late in the movie, they will be struck, but it will be revealed close to the final credits that it somehow wasn't fatal as everyone had mistakenly thought.
2.a.  If it is early in the movie, they will be struck and will surely die, providing the necessary motivation for the protagonist to plan and eventually carry out his or her revenge over the course of the rest of the movie.
2.b.  In the event the movie is a romantic comedy, they will be struck and will surely die, providing the necessary motivation for the protagonist to declare he/she will never love again, only to finally be persuaded to finally hook up with the protagonist of the opposite sex because he/she has spent the entire course of the movie persuading him/her that life is worth living.

Being unconscious in general is a good one.  Shows treat it just as a particularly deep sleep, whereas, like Archer would say, it's super bad for you.
