The Movie Cliches List: “a list of the most annoying and common logic flaws and stereotypes found in movies.”. A sample:

War

“You’re very likely to survive any battle in any war, unless you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.”

Weapons

“Shots fired at the rear of a vehicle will cause the gas tank to explode.”.

Helicopters

“In movieland, there’s an abundance of corrupt helicopter pilots. Villains have no problem renting a helicopter complete with pilot who doesn’t mind shooting total strangers, or being shot at.”.
