or when people are falling, and they go "whoooooooooooooaaaaaaa" but their tone of voice doesn't match how scary such a fall would be. Child actors are especially bad at this.

D'oh - thanks for fixing

I like all the incidental damage in Ronin - the car plopping off the carrier

But the scene of the guy trying to open the attache case in the "wrong" clip was almost as good as the car chase. I had forgotten what picture that as from. I liked all the people hainging aroudn watcching the Ronin wreckage, with blank looks, the pyrotechnics yet registering on their minds. Maybe we need to open a separate car-chase thread. In fact, I just did.

Most overused action sequence of all time is...

the part where the important one is out of bullets or whatever and any disposable bad character is walking towards him to shoot his face off and usually smiling then somebody off screen shoots him in the back just in time and they look at each other for a second and then LETS GO! You're still alive and we have a day to save and more ass to kick!

"In this scene the actor/actress has to be really really upset because...." (fill in any reason, really ANY reason)

"Oh ok ok - how about we have them VOMIT?....yea that'll do it".

When did vomiting becoming acting? They do it ALL THE TIME and I hate it!
(Thanks for asking the question!

What about the scenes where they show people crawling around air conditioning duct work.

Fake as hell, if you were able to get into the duct work people would hear you banging around trying to crawl though it.

People standing in front of each other shooting at each other and the bad guy always misses but it only takes the good guy 2 shots to get him LOL

I shoot for **** and even I can hit someone standing in front of me.
