The car never wanting to start in a horror movie. Don't these people know to get a tune-up once in a while? And running upstairs...right past the front door. Every house having double-cylinder deadbolts and the keys are nowhere in sight. Just a few that bug me.
tv:
-1 and done envied relatives. A relative (usually a sister of a main character) is either rich and jetsetty or a bohemian world traveller, comes for a visit with, an argument happens betwen and envied relative admits their life isn't all that it seems and they are really jealous of the other's life. Said relative leaves and is never seen or heard from ever again.
-Leaving Town Because of Love Syndrome (but not really). Person A is distraught that the love of their life since they were 2 is getting engaged or married to someone else so they quit their job, give up their home, get a new job and place to live in a city far, far away except the night before they are gone for good their true wuv declares their love for them and they stay. Somehow their job takes them back, they get their home back and all is well.
tv and movies:
-Secret Rich People. The homeless beggar you give a quarter to every day, the disheveled next door neighbor always scrounging for food, the pizza delivery guy, a family member's new girlfriend or boyfriend that you hate are all rich or have rich families and give you a pile of money or their entire fortune when you lose your car, house or job.
-lifestyle, home and wardrobe wildly disproportionate to a person's profession. Characters living paycheck to paycheck in Architectural Digest worthy apartments, wear jewelry whose cost exceeds their salary and can jump on a plane to Paris at a moment's notice with no financial fallout.
What about those horror movie participants who run and run and run and no matter how athletic they are they will 1. never outrun the killer and 2. always fall down? Meh.
No rules for ammo. Handgun can hold like 50 bullets at a time. Of course when it comes to firing the final shot - it's empty all of a sudden.
I've said it before and other thread and I'll say it again. Whether you are dying or resuscitated back to life, whether you are injured or sick of any disease, the universal signal for this in a movie or TV is coughing.
Fire scenes. There are a few flames over here, a few flames over there, each with their own separate little column of smoke. The hero leaps and jumps around these pockets of fire.
In a real fire, smoke fills the entire space in the room. There's no visibility. The hero would be passed out or dead in seconds from smoked inhalation unless he managed to crawl very close to the floor.
