Hello, I am easily impressionable and believe what I see on screen is real.
When not blowing away my colleagues because Natural Born Killers said it was ok, I have discovered the following information from watching movies:

Bruce Willis is indestructible

When defusing a bomb, you must almost cut 1 wire, then jump and cut another at the last second, and you must allow the timer to reach 1 or 2.

All bombs have a timer

Serial killers want to be caught and leave clues.

Most police are "too old for this"

You can fight for 3 minutes, and then shrug it off.

The underdog will win

Women wake up beautiful and wrapped in clean sheets

Detectives only have 24hrs before the DA "chews their @ss"

Kevin Spacey did it. He always does.

In order to over-take someone, you just press the accelerator even harder

You do not need to look at the road when driving, and you can whip the wheel from side to side

Ethnic characters are amusing sidekicks.

All Middle Eastern people are bad.

Not only are there villains, but "supervillains"

America won everything, ever. And Mel Gibson did most of the work.

Dinosaurs are bad and intent on destruction, yet the mass media has ignored 3 different outbreaks and people are suprised to find themselves on the island.

Aliens not only exist, but look like you would expect aliens to be.

Alien ships need lights. They are able to cross galaxies and communicate by thought, yet they cannot see in the dark.

Foreigners all speak in English, with a strong foreign accent, although everyone they speak with, except the hero, can speak their native language.

Court Cases take 3 days and are won by a suprise revelation, all the crowd will cheer.

A blow to the head will render your opponent unconcious,although he will be more determined to catch you

Letters being read are always in the voice of the writer

Foreigners, especially Mexicans will have the correct grasp of English, but be unable to say "Sir" and "thank you", preferring "Senor" and "Gracias"

When using binoculars, there will be two circles joined in the middle

Minorities, such as Japanese or Asian will have an innate fighting skill.

Broken lightbulbs mean someone is hiding in that room

Men instantly grow stubble with a hangover, and coffee is enough. A hangover means you feel a bit bad, there is no throwing up or spending 20 mins on the toilet, crying and hugging your knees.

Everyone vomits in the toilet, never on the floor

If a hero gets into a second fight, his most recent injury will be targeted by the enemy.

Public toilets are only ever used as a means of escape from pursuing evil person

The mafia all look like the mafia and spend their time eating pasta and letting Joe Pesci go mental

Whenever people are knocked out by nerve gas or something, everyone always wakes up simulataneously, except maybe for one who'll be dead.

The death of a loved one always happens in the rain.

A single bullet fired at a car causes it to:

a) explode instantaneously, killing the driver and destroying the drugs.
b) Burst the wheel, causing the car to career, then barrel roll 27 times before not hitting any other cars, skidding to a stop then exploding.

When it should:

a) miss, because no-one can hit a moving car from another moving car.

Car doors are always left unlocked

Sports games always come down to the final ball kicked/thrown just after the buzzer

Cars instantly explode when falling from a height

Always fail to check the villain is dead if the climactic fight was not dramatic enough, on no accounts turn your back and walk away because said villain will rise and attempt to shoot you, although your previously incapacitated partner will shoot him for you.

Ex-wives will love you again if you save them from certain death

Dramatic moments in your life will be remembered in slow motion, especially the death of a loved one

Nobody looks stupid doing kung-fu in the street

If you are in a fight, the assailants will patiently wait and attack one at a time.

Villans hire a surplus amount of Guards that cannot shoot, and will die in many comical ways.

There is always time for a catchphrase.

In Sci Fi films there is always another Superweapon, capable of even more mass destruction.

Animals will always have the better of humans.

Kevin Bacon is seemingly in every film ever made.

Don't get John Travolta thinking about directing a film about a battle for planet Earth.

White Men can't jump

Anyone can hack into The Pentagon without realising it

Internet downloads instantly with no waiting or ERROR 404 messages

Wrong numbers place your life in jeopardy

Animals can re-unite families, play sports and foil crimes

Villains can be outwitted by children and babies

Crime doesn't pay

Hillbillies will instantly attack and rape you, especially if you are Ned Beatty

Vietnam had loads of movie stars there

Vampires live in places like LA and Mexico, when sunlight is bad for them anyway so why bother?

All houses are massive and can conceal any number of masked psychos

Strangely enough, all computers in movies, have a green screen, and this will make the character using the computers face look all green.

Maybe Amstrad will have a revival in the future.
