Protagonist on the trail of an adversary (or serial killer) finally stumbles upon the whereabouts of said person but always forgets to tell other people about where they're going. Previously mentioned adversary captures protagonist and says, "no one's coming to help you now". Not calling for backup always annoys me in horror movies as well.
^Yeah, or being sick with a "life threatening virus", finding a 11th hour cure and being fit as a fiddle the next day. Weren't organs liquefied or something?
1) All of Denzel Washington's characters. 2) High school movies with the "cool" and the "nerd" groups. 3) Fights which results in no blood, scratches, or bruises the next day. 4) American horror movies: nothing but cheap jump-from-your-sets surprise scare. 5) Modern vampires apparently love rave parties, especially in Europe.
or the exact opposite. gunshot to the (anywhere center mass) or stab in the gut = instant death a lotta times. Not even 10 seconds to stumble and try to fight or make a call or just say something
And notice that neither of these happen with the genders reversed. Not even close. Men still run the world.
Just saw Onk-Bak 3 on DVD last week and I thought the same thing in the opening fight. WTF? 30 guys had Tony Jaa surrounded then they all play stupid and fight him one-on-one while the rest just float around. Why not charge him and smack him to the ground? Never understood the stupid logic of movie fights.

I always thought the movie cliche of the person leaving the grocery store with a bag of groceries that always has a stalk of celery and a loaf of french bread sticking out the top.
Young woman in scantily clad Catholic schoolgirl outfit goes to house looking for friend, "father" of friend says friend not home and invites woman inside to wait for friend, and then...
The keys of a car are always available to the intruder. Oh...and it's always a struggle to get the engine to start once the key has been inserted.
horror movie where victim sees the killer and they run UPSTAIRS. most of the time the killing is happening in a house and im sure there is another point of exit on the first floor in which you don't have to run UPSTAIRS. ugh.
