Every priest in New York is Irish.
And despite the US having a population of over 300 million across a land mass the size of Europe, almost every story happens in New York. Occasionally Chicago or Boston, sometimes LA, but most of the time it's New York.
Cops will always meet the mob boss in secret under the Brooklyn Bridge with Manhattan in the background.

Every murder in the movies is the worst that the detective has ever seen in his 40 years in the police force.
Whenever he's miles from anywhere, the hero will always gets a ride on the back of a pick-up truck carrying boxes of live chickens.
All victimised ranchers have a pretty Doris-Day-esque young daughter who is tough as nails.

That's the sort of car that's used in the original Thomas Crown Affair. It's the car they use to disappear the money from the bank heist.
Not a cliche in that film.
MMMMMMMM!!! Faye Dunaway ....

Characters jumping out of buildings into skips full of rubbish and being absolutely fine, as if people only put foam in skips, rather than old masonry, timber and green bathroom suites.
After a sex session, the woman gets up, but wraps the bedsheet around her so the guy won't see her naked. Even though they just pumped.
Characters trying to hide when in someone else's property are never heard even though they are closing the cupboard/wardrobe door when the person is already in the room.

Cops who are told by the Police Chief that they're being pulled off a case continue to work on it secretly.
They never do what they are told.
If anybody loses a button or an earing it's sure to be the missing link that will solve the case.
Apart from Colombo, everybody drives brand new cars.
Any lone car travelling along a long straight road in the middle of nowhere will usually pass a road kill, with a close-up shot from the verge as the car speeds on by.
In westerns, if there's a big mirror behind the bar, it's guaranteed to get smashed when the fight starts.Last edited by snooky; 05-04-2018 at 12:39 AM.
