'Why does'......in films

[Seagull on the wing]

Apologise if it has been posted before...I cannot trawl the thousands of subjects that have been posted before,but......

Why does the hero always manage to find an empty parking spot just outside the building he is going into ? (Have you tried it?)

Why, when the hero is being chased by the villians does his girlfriend/wife ALWAYS falls over..?

Why does the heroes 9 round pistol shoot ten of thousands of rounds without reloading..?

Why...when the hero has a knife thrown at him it sticks in close of just cuts into his sleeve yet when he throws it back it goes straight to the villians heart or throat..?

I'm sure you can think of a lot more....yeah! OK I'm bored without my Albion fix....

Why does the dog always survive?

 

[Hillian1]

Because it's a film.

Much like the Internet where we are all 6 foot 4 well toned Adonis like creatures who wouldn't shag anything less than supermodel looking women.

 

[scamander]

cars exploding when shot (think Mythbusters did this one)

bombs always have timers on them. Purely to heighten the "will he disarm in time" tension. I remember coming across a website with hundreds of these.

Why do computers always make a noise when transferring files to a USB drive?

 

[StonehamPark]

Why does Henry Cavill wear a red sheet as a cape in the flashback where he's a kid (Man of Steel).
He then runs around the garden pretending to fly.

Who's he trying to imitate?

Why? When the villain is the only one left standing, and the hero has dealt with the entire gang of heavies, does the hero always have the most trouble defeating the Boss. Who always turns out to be Olympic Standard in whatever weapons the fight is taking place with.
Initially getting the best of the hero, the bad person will always ultimately be defeated.

Its FICTION and you need to suspend disbelief sometimes!

Why can't bad guys shoot straight?

[Perry Milkins]

Why does the hero leave the heroine in a locked room to go off and hunt down the monster and then the monster gets into the room through a window and makes off with the heroine?

Why do the group of innocent teenagers explore an old dark house?

Why does the bogeyman who limps and walks slowly always catch the Usain Bolt sprinting heroine?

Why can't bad guys shoot straight?

THIS. 100 shots from point blank range all miss the hero.

My biggest annoyance is the voice the main guy uses, there seems to be a competition in Hollywood at the moment to see who can growl in the most unintelligible and inaudible voice. I have actually turned films off recently because the mumbling is so ridiculous. Probably why I don't like Godfather films too.

Shut up owl.

Why does the dog always survive?

You weren't at the film festival with me in which on one day I saw a run of films that all included dog deaths. I was taken aback, mildly, so maybe that is a general law then, of expecting hounds to see a story through.

Shut up owl.

Say what I like, OWL

 

[El Sid]

Why does Steven Seagal get any work?

 

[rool]

THIS. 100 shots from point blank range all miss the hero.

Not just 100 shots point blank but the hero can run unharmed whilst 5 baddies are firing at him with automatic machine guns. He can then turn and kill them all with 5 shots from his hand gun.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Why is it when the plumber with the big tash arrives to fix a problem for a scantily dressed dolly bird does he not ever have to pop back out to plumbase for parts?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Why do people over-analyse films and expect them to be like real-life?

 

[Eric Potts]

I saw The Lobster the other day .The dog certainly didn't survive in that film .Much to the distress of a significant number of the audience.
