"Cliche Time"

This is always fun.
GIve me examples of movie cliches, I'll start.

Prison Movies:

Sadistic Warden
Bullying head gaurd
Rape of newcomer
Passing things between cells in a sock
Old lag that can get anything you want
Old lag that keeps an animal of sorts
Brash new arrival that thinks he's the man

John Travolta must dance.

Car chases:

ALWAYS either:

A) a child
B) an old person
C) someone in a wheel chair

ALWAYS walks across the road leading to the hero diving majestically (normally in slow-mo) across the screen, JUST saving them.

Old people:

Appear in films to provide great wisdom. Or to die.

For comedy effect, have the heroe's get drunk and slur at each other for ten minutes.

Oh hahahaha! I'm splitting my sides.

If I want to see drunk people, I'll go to the pub, Ok?

Woman falls for man 20yrs her senior
This will not happen the other way round.

Women, give birth in movies, that way will you will never fart or foul yourself.

Robin Williams clean shaven: Man-Child there to amuse

Robin Williams with beard: Deep and meaningful

Good guy:

Get your family into hiding before bad guy has a chance to kidnap them. How many times do we have to tell you this?

Bad guys team:

Always employ some big fat bastad, and a little weasely kind of geezer to think up some good plans.

Big fat bastad always get knocked out in a fight much easier than you would expect.

Little mousy man is always good at kung-fu type stuff, but never *quite* as good as the hero.

Good guys:

Remember to pack some weaponry. But never quite enough to last the numerous battles you will be involved in. This is because you will find some alternative tool or piece of machinery during your last battle, that can be used a makeshift weapon.

Hero must be brooding and unorthodox, live alone and watch tv at 2am with a glass of whiskey.
For dramatic effect, a pistol should be held to chin with nice tears sliding down before hero puts gun down and falls asleep.
