I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

When the computer hacker character clicks 8 keystrokes and says, "I'm in!"

The password was “password”.

Two people draw guns in each other's faces point blank but nobody fires. Instead they have a tense conversation.

Talkin' to you, Malcolm Reynolds and Saffron (or Yolanda or Bridget or whatever).

The horror movie character who searches a scary room by walking in and immediately looking intently up at the ceiling, while slowly turning around until he ends up backing into the dangerous thing he somehow didn't notice.

Anything gun related in most movies is probably wrong

The part in Drop Dead Fred where Elizabeth's best friend's house boat sinks and she gets rich off the insurance payout. That's not how that works unfortunately.

Quiet conversations on airplanes and dance floors as if there's no background noise.

Recently, I've been mindful of how long fights are in movies.

Sword fight? Fanning at each other, crossing and smacking swords. Maybe even walking around each other. I don't think that's how a real sword fight would look.

Fights where it's mostly talking. Talking and talking. Nobody would fight like that.

Fist fights without a smack and dead. It's fancy movement - only because of the shaky camera and cuts of course. Give me back Jackie Chan or smack them once and they fall over.

I also dislike noticing the wire-guided movements. Fast acceleration and you can see them balancing in the air lifted by wires. Wires removed after-the-fact, but it's such unnatural movement.

And of course, the classic gunfight where nobody hits anything.

Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it's faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies.

It's certainly prevalent.

Monster: struggles to catch a running humans

Monster in next scene: catching up with a car pretty easily

Speed always kills me in things.

I love scenes where a character hotwires a car by:

  • reaching under the steering wheel and pulling a panel off. It isn't held on by fasteners or anything, it's just like wedged in place.

  • A bunch of loosely coiled wires tumbles out. In front are two thicker wires that are cut, stripped and tinned.

  • The character strikes these two wires against each other like attempting to strike a match, mostly to make sparks.

  • The sound of a car engine turning over plays.

  • Climb in, shut the door, put it in gear and drive off.

The Iron fist show had me livid when the MC gets "voted" out by the board of the company the MC OWNS A MAJORITY OF!!

CPR. Doing 2-3 chest compressions, seconds apart, and then some mouth to mouth, followed by 2-3 more chest compressions. Or the needle into the heart thing. Or the shock a flatline thing. All of it. It's just all wrong.

On Andromeda? I believe it was, a villain used the stereotypical twist the head to break the neck and they fall over dead bit. The character proceeded to be not dead and did the stereotypical express their love while dying in the protagonist's arms bit, talking and moving their neck as if it wasn't broken. And then died.

Two people are fighting and one gets control of the other. He then throws the person across the room instead of killing him.

Walks away as if that's that... gets back-attacked by the other guy.
