To explain that outside of cinema making it look cool for villains to fight one at a time. In actual real fights, dudes hit each other trying to jump one person. So it is more out of fear of hitting your buddy versus being noble. TMNT 2 showed that in a comedic way when all the villains dog piled on Mikey at once and he snuck his way out. The reason no one notices yet because they are all hitting each other not knowing that they are not hitting the guy they just jumped lol.

You look both ways, and don't see a car, you walk on the street, and a massive semi-truck honks its horn and plows you, continuing to drive like nothing happened, and everyone else doesn't seem to notice. In Insidious Chapter 3, it's taken to hilarious extremes when the character is on the road long enough for the car to stop, and the character gets run over anyway. As someone who has been hit by a car 7 times (all of which were cars running through stop signs), I know how traumatizing it can be for everyone involved.

Mmm #12 it's actually true... Most programs that rely on coding, or most command prompts, don't require a mouse. Command prompting is what's actually used in hacking, computer mouse was introduced to make the life easier for people didn't want to use command prompt, but entering commands in a computer grants you a much wider and precise control over all actions and tasks in a system. So yeah... I majored in systems engineering and computer science, and most tasks are done thru keyboard.

[@kombatformortals]

ik im two years late but I came for this comment. As a programmer I try to use the mouse as little as possible. There are even programs that bind hotkeys to certain actions to avoid you having to use the mouse

Trying to escape from someone driving a car by running down the centre of the road. Or running UP the stairs to escape when being pursued on foot. My personal favourite, a redshirt type character with glasses has them knocked off and becomes totally blind falling to their knees to grope around trying to find them. I wear glasses and while modern spectacles are pretty good they can't gift the blind with sight. If I drop my glasses unless it's pitch black I can still see them.

Someone is always loading a round in their gun just to look “badass”.

[@zinoelgato]

One thing I've always hated is when someone important getts killed or found dead the relatives are almost always at the scene (crime scene). It's like the call to inform about set person and who ever receives the call immediately rushes to the scene.....what police officer would even disclosure the location, it makes ZERO sense!

[@aaronlawson8151]

There should be a movie that includes all these things realistically happening haha

I kind of like the trope where most horror movies have a scene involving teenagers in a classroom who are learning about a subject that is conveniently relevant to the history or method of defeating the villain (Quantum Physics in Happy Death Day, and Film Theory in Scream, for example).

[@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom]

Fast and Furious is a Michael Bay franchise but with better cinematography.

[@omarc9977]

Good list. This is why I think that "Last action hero" is a very underrated movie, because it mocks of several of these tropes, and when it was released almost nobody realized that that was the joke: real life is nothing like movies

[@RoninJeremy]

For the explosions, looking at them can temporarily blind you. Happened to me in my time serving, heroes in movies just know better.

[@kalimaxine]

I like that explanation.

[@AlejandroLZuvic]

I’d rephrase that point to “near explosions don’t kill the heroes”.

"Heroes never look back at explosions" - and then Anton Chigurh is shown how he doesn´t look back at an explosion. But of course! If there is a man who can be called a hero than him!

That's the one movie where the bomb planter is in such a rush that he does not want to look back.

You forgot the gravity on all planets is the same

[@kalimaxine]

I like how The Orville addresses this. Their security officer comes from a planet with higher gravity so she is extra strong in places with Earth like gravity.

[@AlejandroLZuvic]

@@kalimaxine and when they visit her planet they need to use some sort of anti-gravity force field gizmo to not get crushed. I mean, the anti-gravity field is fantasy BS but they do acknowledge the gravity difference. I miss the show.

@@AlejandroLZuvic Me too. It's a great show. And I totally forgot I made this comment. lol

[@Raz.C]

The number 1 trope is aptly parodied by the Simpsons quite often. There are numerous scenes in the series when something as innocuous as a shopping trolley, or a baby stroller is pushed/ knocked astray and ends up exploding upon making contact/ colliding with something/ anything. While it may not sound funny, watching it unexpectedly happen on the show is indeed funny and it's a well deserved barb aimed pointedly at movie execs who seem to feel that everything needs to explode...

[@larryhuffman2673]

Actually...#14 is somewhat accurate. I am not saying that the way movies do it is always correct, but as an IT manager I can accomplish a lot more with a keyboard at the command prompt or power shell. From servers to routers and other network appliances, the command line is where the power is. Keep in mind, the part of the interface that you can use a mouse on has to be designed and placed on top of the root command language. Usually, only the most common or basic commands are available to a mouse.

[@Jadzebra]

A mouse is effectively useless if you know how to navigate without one. I lost mine for like a year and had to figure out the commands, it's pretty easy

[@AlejandroLZuvic]

I agree with you, but… couldn’t you just… buy one?

[@VannrithSourisVa]

Fun fact, some people are very good with keyboard only, and most of their stuff can operate with only keyboard. Window Manager on Linux is a prime example

In Bollywood, when there is a singing scenes, we can see a bunch of people dancing with the main character in the background, but when the fight scene happens, it just the heroes only we can see fight the villain 1 on 1.. where all the peoples go.. don't forget the overhype physic they don't apply on their movies .
