What's the number 1 thing you've learned from fillums?

For me it's that you should always get behind a car door in a dangerous situation. They are impenetrable.

Other than low speed crashes at junctions with traffic lights all road accidents involve a vehicle tumbling down an embankment and exploding.

Classes in American schools typically last 30 seconds or less and every classroom in the country has an identical sounding bell.

Halfway through the movie/mission, you are just about to deplot Plan A. This plan has been approved by the top brass in Washington. It's completely foolproof and it should solve all our problems.:)

But wait...we're only halfway through the movie! Plan A is going to fail spectacularly! For bonus points your best buddies: 'family photo guy' and 'one day from retirement guy' have been killed! It gets better, you're the one to blame! Either incompetence or treason or both!:mad:

Now after being on the lam for a bit. You've come up with Plan B. It will ever work, not even in a million years. It's crazy! Wait, it's so crazy it just might work! :eek:

And it did! You even got the girl. What girl Nevermind we shoehorned in a romance at the last minute. And you've definitely gotten justice for those two friends, what were their names again?;)

tl;dr summary:

1. Always use Plan B first, saves time, wins wars, gets the girl, yaddayaddayadda.

2. I said shoehorned!

When a thread on a subject last discussed five years ago comes up there will be calls for it to be locked/merged but when its on something that comes up at least twice a week everyone ignores the fact and the same tired old arguments/trolling get rehashed.

Oh wait thats not in films thats AH.

It's somewhat counter-intuitive, but never, under any circumstances go on a road trip with a gaggle of beautiful teenage girls / women in hotpants. You, and everybody bar one girl, will die horribly.

Ever seen Road Trip? Ends very well

The woman of your dreams will have her hair and make up done in her sleep and wake up perfect in the morning.
Your dream guy will run after you with a huge epiphany and kiss you in the rain, you'll look fab and no mascara running because you know it'll happen and wear waterproof.
you'll both "come" together EVERY time.
And your happily ever after will surely be something of a mystery:D

A phone call can be completed with the other side passing on detailed instructions in just a few seconds, you barely give them a chance to talk and then hang up

Avoids pauses during the film I suppose

If your in a bomb ridden building, you WILL be bare foot but never think of grabbing a dead guys shoes until you the one that has feet thats smaller than yours. Of course walking on glass is much more comfy than ill fitting shoes coz your a "bad ass" and NOT stupid:D

The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series in 2015.

Also, every phone number in America begins with the digits 555.

And when you ring someone you'll always get the person you're looking for no matter how many people might answer the phone, and they'll always answer within a second or two.

You can always park right outside the building you need to enter - even in the city centre.

Really obvious computer commands always work e.g."access all secret files...".

When part of a group in dangerous situation (especially in a haunted house, or if there's a serial killer on the prowl), always split up. Safety in numbers is a myth.

A car magically turns into a ramp when another car crashes into it.

The other law enforcement guys are all always incompetent pr1cks. If you're FBI it's the local cops; if you're a local cop, it's the FBI etc.

All explosion involve fireballs. Instead of just travelling upwards, said fireballs actually move up, down, up down...repeat until the director has decided you've seen the explosion enough times and from enough angles.

Twin little girls in hotels are scary.

Yes, you really can jump through the air with a pistol in each hand and fire each at a different target, hitting both before landing.

When on the phone, the person on the other end speaks in burst transmissions, i.e. ten seconds worth of speech in just one.

Any weapon you happen to find during a battle be it cannon or musket, is always loaded, primed and ready to fire.

The viewer won't realise a scene is dramatic until the incidental music tells him it is.

The bad guy isn't really dead.

Whenever henchmen die from a high fall or a hazard they all make that same screaming noise. The sort of artificial, bit echoey one. You know the one

Funnily enough that is probably the strangest statement I've ever seen in AH.
