Lassie will run for help when you fall in a hole and hurt yourself- in actual fact Lassie will bring you back a stick.
Your horse will come to your aid if you get shot and fall off of him- in actual fact he'll put his head down and eat the first grass he can find.
And long before 1892, every cowboy owned a Winchester 1892.

It's very easy to shoot the firearm out of someone's hands at any range, also a recover from that event takes a shake of the hand and all is well.

YUP! and even though the kookaburra is only native to Australia, you can hear one in every jungle on Earth

the best way to stall an elevator in the shaft is to go up to the machine room and shove a broom handle through the pulley
a single match can light up an entire mansion living room
when an external camera on a spaceship is destroyed, the monitor blows up
Not just hollywood but: British police detectives are a bunch of stumbling blockheads who couldn't catch a cold in a blizzard, but an upper-class private investigator can solve the most complicated crime by asking a few questions and thinking about it for a day or so

In almost every movie, there appears to be at least one stunt man who can perfectly execute the Wilhelm Scream...

A silencer screwed on to a revolver will quiet the shot right down.

When you get to be part of a war in the stars...take a side, any side...you magically will never have to use the bathroom ever again!
Star of Death is the size of a planet, but where’s the loo?
Fuggetaboutit, you have “space sphincter” now!

As soon as you arrive at a spooky old house, the sun goes down and it gets dark.

The invasion force never seems to show the catering brigade, those people/amphibians/etc gotta eat.
In post-apocalyptic shows such as zombie or armageddon scenarios, gasoline hasn't broken down after two+ years and the scavenged vehicles will run.
Always flee attackers to the most remote spot rather than driving to the local police station. (Caveat: except if its a Terminator movie, then definitely flee to the police station)

A handgun is the universal tool to open any lock, anywhere and every time with one shot.

It looks like I opened a can of worms here, but I DIDN'T MEAN TO!
I was mostly talkin about some old movies, and a few modern ones, that were/are "B" grade, and I was just tryin to be funny!
In the last couple or 3 years I've been watching "reality" shows like 'Ancient Aliens', 'Skinwalker Ranch', and several 'ufo' monstrosities featuring Erich Von Dumbiken, Linda Airhead Howe, and Giorgio Crabgrass-Top Tsoukalos. This guy. I think his "bad hair" affected his mind!
Life without a few good laughs is pretty boring, and "negative". 
I apologize for being silly!

Sorry to reactivate a old post, but I've been "channel surfing" since my hip surgery, and had nothing better to do.
I learned a few more things:
Trochu "In the event of a nuclear blast, hide behind a tree"
Or climb into a fridge and close the door.
A modern powered Gatling gun sounds like a gangster tommy gun from the 1920s and 1930s.
A rampaging dinosaur can distinguish between a cliff face and a tall concrete building.
A "plain" woman becomes a hottie when she removes her glasses and she let's her hair down.
Split-second violent events are easy to remember in detail because they always happen in slow-motion.
A bop on the head rendering someone unconscious isn't dangerous. Someone can awake from a dangerous concussion in a few minutes with full faculties, and remember exactly what happened.

If you are being chased by a homicidal maniac and you manage to render him unconscious pump in a few rounds they always get up again.

I've been taught to leave him, with his weapon, and leave the scene as slowly as possible.

Are you people trying to tell me that the 1911 doesn't get it's name because that is the number of rounds it holds?

Spartacus, 300, all the Jesus movies, Troy, Gladiator etc
In ALL of them, the actors use a British accent.......
Nowhere remotely NEAR England, but the accent is there.....
Cop shows. EVERY cop takes a bullet in the shoulder, right where the recoil pad sits.
When fleeing the scene, they drive WAY TOO FAST, crash the car and Jason cuts their heads off....

In Star Wars, the Empire doesn't recycle. That hydraulic garbage crusher was just to leave the trash floating in space? Why bother crushing it at all then?
I mean you'd think they'd at least recycle the metals...
