85. Prostitutes have less problems than most people.
86. They also look healthier than almost all the regular people.
87. The bad guys is always zoomed in on in the beginning of the movie.
(I'd post more in the horror movie thread, but I simply almost never watch horror movies.  )

88. No one ever worries about STDs.

89. No main character is ever fat. Only skinny people have interesting things happening to them.

90. People can bleed way more blood than a body can hold and not tie, but if an unimportant person gets shot in the leg, they don't get back up.

91. The greedy capitalist pays with his life in the end.

92. There always at least one smart-alec kid (you want to smack) irritating you when you're in a rush.

93. In war, people have a need to yell even though the fighting is about a mile off.
94. In war, soldiers never run out of ammo until they find cover.

95. When someone gets mortally wounded, he/she will always talk for about 10 minutes before they die...sometimes more.

96. If said mortally wounded person has vital information for the hero, like the name of the criminal or the solution to the crime puzzle, then he will die just as he is attempting to reveal it--wasting at least 10 minutes of valuable time apologizing for dying.

97. People can make bullets that have no fins or any sort of other flight controlling systems curve. Even if it's only a 6in barrel and the bullet passes through it almost instantly.

[SenkoTwiik]

98. If someone gets shot in the hand, no matter what, you can always see light through the hole...even though in real life, the swelling would prevent that from happening.

99. Every under cover cop in the world has something to do with drugs, and has some sort of relationship with a ghetto-living lady.

100. Some guy very high up in the good guy organization is a drug dealer.

[DaSpecial1]

101. Christmas is a popular crime holiday.

102. Even criminals take Thanksgiving off.

[Carlwashere]

103. Most of the action in the world occurs during summer.
104. Someone you've known longer than your wife/husband is the head bad guy.

[PoppieSkat]

105. The bad guys are almost always stupid enough not to make sure they're not being foloowed by the hero.
106. There will always be enough passes to steal from the baddies, to give the hero + team access to the henchies hide-out.
107. The las bang is always the biggest! =P

[DaSpecial1]

108. Cars can soar over large distances, reach breathtaking heights, yet land safely--all passengers intact and still be driveable. (Evil Knievel just wasn't daring enough I guess ) buses can too, btw.

[SenkoTwiik]

109. The hero can ALWAYS speak the language of the foreign bad-guy fluently.

110. The mentally-retarded guy is NEVER actually mentally-retarded. He's just an incredible actor trying to prey on people so that they can get him out of trouble.

111. If you're facing foreign enemies, three times out of five, they're Soviet Russian.

112. Never be best friends with the friendliest spy in the agency. Chances are, they'll betray you and ultimately try to kill you in an epic battle in the end.

113. If you and your really, really, ridiculously hot female partner are invading a bad guy's secret island base via beach, she's always wearing a sexy string bikini instead of the standard wet suit. (Sorry for the obscure Zoolander reference. )

114. The good guy always wears his most expensive, custom-made tux for the most epic, and possibly life-ending mission.
