The "Warner gunshot" doesn't bother me, but I think it is amusing. Back in the 1930s somebody at Warner Brothers created a sound that they though sounded like a convincing gunshot. As I recall it was for a gangster movie. For decades, when some cowboy fired his pistol in a Warner Brothers movie, the sound you heard was the old "Warner gunshot."

One of the decorators I used to work with, whenever we would pull into a parking lot and grab a spot near the entrance would always exclaim "Doris Day parking!". In her movies, whether it was the grocery store, department store or public building Doris ALWAYS found a spot upfront!

All women are Supermodel hot.

Oh and the hottest babes at the bar are always available and easy to pick up by the main character in an action movie.....just like in real life!

How about the "turbo-hush" or "whisper" mode on helicpoters.....not that I really want to know but was it Blue Thunder???

The script.

Actually it depends a lot on the plane, but the only place a single bullet would have an immediate effect on takeoff is if it hit the pilot. Even on a Cessna.

Hollywood Firefighters inside a building that has flames all around them with their coats wide open, no SCBA/ mask on their faces, no gloves and carrying a shiny red axe (you can chop out a lot of fire with a axe).

How professional soldiers, using full auto machine guns, can't hit any bad guys..:eek:

Nothin' coming out of Hollywood irks me ...Hugh and Craigster would have been out of a job years ago if they depended upon folks like me :D.

ps: I do know one thing though....my .44 mag has a bit more recoil than the one Clint used :)

It WAS Blue Thunder. And what I want to know is, if you have a helicopter with "whisper mode", why wouldn't you use it all the time?? Especially over a city, as in that movie.

What about in Airwolf... when it shows him pushing the "force trim" button to go into whatever they called that hyper fast mode.

What really disappoints me is those other movies. You know, porn.
None of that seems like real life. At least not like MY real life.

Cops are chasing the bad guys, pull out the Glock/Sig/whatever-semi-auto, take a few shots, chase the bad guy into a building where you have to slowly and quietly creep through the building looking for the bad guy, hmm, before I go around this corner, I'd better rack the slide. Wait, you didn't reload and the last thing that you did was fire the weapon. Shouldn't there already be a live round loaded?

Duh, you're not Bond, James Bond.

How about the scene in one of the Star Wars movies where young Anakin Skywalker tries to land a damaged General Grievous' spaceship that somehow stays in one piece while emergency water ships sprays water directly (no effect of wind) onto the burning ship before landing? I had to laugh at that one.

It's the more technical stuff to me. (Yes, I'm one of those egotistical engineers!)

Things like a nerd at a computer typing in an IP of 192.68.326.7
Or data/text on a computer monitor fading out or dropping off because of a "virus"
Or the bad/good guys tracking someone down when they used a credit card across town

I'm also pretty good at catching the continuity issues in a movie. Car chase scenes when the windshield is cracked, then it's not, then it is. Or the right side door is smashed, then it's not, then it is.

I hate it when someone doesn't shoot the other one fast enough...they just stand there for a few seconds....for dramatic effect.

Meanwhile the second hand keeps ticking away.....tick tock....tick tock...

SHOOT.....for crying out loud!

Ha! You should hire my wife! Then you'll never have another continuity problem!

We both hate when cups are obviously empty, but her number one complaint is probably when an actress's hair changes back and forth during a conversation. I think it causes her physical pain.

From what I can remember, I don't think anyone ever got killed on the A-Team. Guys would get blown 50 ft in the air and walk away. :D

And there's always a parking spot right in front of the building the characters need to visit. Yeah, that's a L.A., New York, or any big city reality.

And now we're back to the porn movies!
