The most over-used Movie Clichès? 2011-06-24 02:47:58 Reply

Ever watch a movie, and feel like you've seen or heard something in that movie from somewhere else? It's usually a clichè. So what are the worst movie clichès in your opinion?

My top three include:

The wilhelm scream,
Bullet-time,
Comedic pauses during trailers.

The same shitty background music every movie has for a sad scene.

Fuck off! I LOVE The Wilhelm Scream. Everytime I hear it in movies or shows I smile.

But anyway I think the old 'Grab and kiss'. You know, shit is going down, our hero is about to risk his life to save the day (which we know he will) but before he does anything he will grab the girl the movie has been teasing with and give her a good long kiss right before he dashes off to save the world.

Yeah, what those dramatic death scenes need is that Indiana Jones theme!

When a fairly unimportant character does something useful. Then dies.

Kisses are impossible.
You outran the monster, your going full speed, you left it in the DUST. But unlucky you, the monster has teleport powers and pops up around the next corner.
They trip and can't seem to get up (looks like they need life alert!).
teenagers die having sex.
Black guy is the first to die.
and yeah, the wilhelm scream is annoying.

It's really a shame that you immature cuntfucks have to derail this topic. On topic, something, that I hate is when in the beginning of the movie, they try use some stupid way to show the whole cast's names, like showing their names on billboards. That's what the ending credits are for assfucks, I don't need to see the cast's credits spelled out in airplane smoke.

When the Military always interferes and fucks everything up, they always say stuff like...

e.g- 'We will take it from here, we can handle this'
'Where in your jurisdiction do you have the right to be here'
'Listen this is a matter of national security'

When someone shoots at the tank of the car, and then it explodes, since that will not work in reality.

Someone always becomes a martyr.
The stereotypical soldiers (i.e. lone wolf, heavy weapons, etc.)

For a movie full of cliches, see Predators. (Black guy steals their stuff, Japanese guy takes a sword)

High school romance, it never works out the way it does in movies, rarely ever happens the way it happens in a movie

I'm pretty sure it will if you have incendiary rounds.

In the romantic comedy genre:
Lame jokes about the other sex, stereotypes, awkward situations, comedy relief. The entire film is usually stuffed with this.

In action films:
Slow motion (films that use it often do overuse it), the one guy that turns out to be evil in the end (sets the rest up).

In horror films:
Protagonists end up in a place where they can't escape and can't get help (car breaks down in the middle of nowhere), the characters who freak out die.

In sports films:
The training montage with an upbeat theme (usually from the 80's).

In 20th century war films:
"These men were heroes, fighting for a good cause" out on some insignificant mission.

Wilhelm scream isn't a bad clichè, it's good one!

Going to look for something in a horror movie, then getting ambushed by something.


I'm back, I guess.

Should watch Behind the Mask : Rise of Leslie Vernon. You think he got burned to death but everyone forgets he had that flame retardant stuff on and it shows him getting up in the autospy room and just walking out.

Not unless you have a flaming arrow that is.

Well, I mean when they use a normal gun with normal bullets, it has been proven that it doesn´t work then.

When every minor antagonistic character shoots and lives as long as a stormtrooper.
