Hollywood movie clichés

Saw something similar on fb so shamelessly nicked a couple to start:

 

 

Someone is knocked on the head and immediately becomes unconscious.

 

Every platoon of US soldiers has a Kowalski.

 

It's compulsory for doctors to say "don't you die on me" to everyone they treat.

 

If a door is locked with an electronic lock, shooting it will unlock the door. Handily if the same door happens to be unlocked, shooting the electronic lock will then lock the door.

 

Falling down a flight of stairs has two possible outcome: you either suffer no injuries whatsoever or you die.

I'm going to guess the Kowalski one has some truth to it. It was known that immigration officers in the USA used to put down any names that were easy enough to spell,say and read with the mass migration to the states from Europe and Kowalski fell into this category? Other names too of course.

When a cupboard door is closed, there's someone stood behind it.

 

Nobody shares the same first name.

 

If you're late for work/school in the morning you must leave the house with a slice on toast in your mouth.

 

If you buy a beer in a pub, you must take a sip, have your discussion and then leave.

Nobody is too busy to answer the phone.

 

There is always a parking space available really close to where they need to be.

 

Saving a beautiful woman from a fate worse than death gets you laid.

People answer the phone or door within 3 seconds

 

Creepy behaviour from the lead is actually taken as charming as he's a Johnny sixpack

The media is designed for ADHD. Instead of building lives for each other and themselves, people are more interested in a nonce in underwear and a shit video game controlled submarine.

 

Fuck.

No matter how many others are in the pub/bar, and no matter that the music is ear-splittingly loud, you will somehow always be the next person served and the bar staff will easily be able to hear you.

 

The piano player in a pub/bar will always stop when shit is about to go down, even though they are paying full attention to their music.

 

Kids will be prepared their breakfast by their busy parents in the morning, and then be told to fuck off to school before they've even taken a bite.

 

When you need to make a hasty retreat in a vehicle, the door will always be unlocked, the keys will always be behind the visor, and the engine will need 3 goes at the ignition, possibly followed by some hotwiring. Which you will know how to do.

 

If you're a high school nerd, you will walk around with a pile of books, which the school bully will definitely knock out of your hand at some point.

 

If you are playing a Vietnam draftee, you will always have a Mary Sue at home.
