Unreal things that happen in films

[chips and gravy]

There are certain things that happen in films that really irritate me. The first is when people order something in a restaurant, take one bite and then find they have something more important to do so leave. If they were in that much of a hurry why go there in the first place?

The second thing is after lovemaking, why does the woman never run off to the loo with semen running down her leg? They always just lay demurely in the bed, presumably ignoring the damp patch.

Is it me?

nope that annoys me too , but i'm one of those anoraks that looks out for every mistake so ....make of that what you will!

anyway most annoying thing , when the villan dies in the original , and comes back to life in the sequel and prequel !

Good thread.
Talking in cars. When someone is driving and talking to their passenger, they invariably turn and look right at them for AGES, happily chatting away. There's no fookin' way you can hold a conversation in a car while looking away from the road for the amount of time most actors seem to. You'd either drift off the road, or slam into something.

We all KNOW the car is being towed along with a camera mounted on the bonnet, but for christs sake, at least try to make it vaguely realistic and watch where you're bloody going.

The most unrealistic film I have ever seen has got to go to Commando. The scene where Arnie takes on the army on the front lawn of that house.

He runs across the lawn with about 50 people firing rocket launchers, AK 47 and M16 machine guns and the odd grenade. He runs in front of them with his one machine gun shouts "arrhhh" and then start shooting as he runs. Thousands and thousands of bullets and ammo miss him.

He, like a sniper on steriods, hits every single person and takes them out. When he has removed the army, he says some one liner and then walks calmly into the house. All this has been done without breaking a sweat.

Action 100%, realism 0%.

oo that's a scary site.

I meant to mention this one before:

Why does a car HAVE to explode when it goes down into a deep ravine?

How comes in films people can always pull up directly outside the building they want to visit, and that their car is still there when they come back out even though they didn't bother to lock it?

It's not only films, but crappy soaps, eg Corry, Eastbenders etc.

When someone pays for drinks etc, in pubs, shops or whatever, no change is handed over, even though they pay with a note.

And why is nobody ever seen logging onto NSC? Now, how unreal is that?

And they never ask for a brand name beer... for obvious reasons but still unrealistic.

Howcome that when the hero gets shot he can handle it apart from the when leading lady cleans the wound whereby he then winces in pain.

Good call especially Star Wars films where EVERY "Darth" and all the bad guys are either English or British.
