Apart from there always being a parking place right outside wherever anyone is going to, they always park perfectly first time they never hit or mount a kerb, always drive in front first, never take three attempts reverse parking like us mere mortals.

Brushing teeth in the movies is graceful and tidy.
No-one ever dribbles saliva mixed with Colgate down their top or foams at the mouth like a rabid dog.

When there's a gunfight and a takes cover behind a water trough, I've never worked out why bullets cause the water to plop like someone's dropped a small stone in it. The bullets invariably are coming horizontally. Maybe they just jump over the lip and drop in the water?

Loving this thread
The hero always knows how to ride a motorbike.
Torches ( flashlights ) are always held above shoulder height for some bizarre reason.
Scottish or Welsh actors unless they are Sean Connery almost always have to affect an English accent, even though there is no earthy reason in the context of the script that stops them from having a Scottish accent ..... David Tennant in Dr Who springs immediately to mind. I watched 'the last witch hunter' the other day starring Vin Diesel and Rose Leslie ( Game of Thrones ) the lassie is Scottish and there was no reason she couldn't be Scottish in the film, but she had an English accent.
When the heroine realises her husband / partner is a murderer or planning to bump her off she always tries to sneak out of the house in the dead of night, even though she has been living with said murderer for ages without anything happening ... why not just wait until morning and say you are popping out for fags and a paper?
Nobody in soap operas ever owns or watches a telly and no matter how skint they are they can always afford to go to the pub every night.
Nobody in soap operas ever works for British Rail or TESCO ... its always self employment or a small local firm.
No matter where they are in the continental United States every American automatically knows which directions North, East, West and South are in.

whereas with Sean Connery, almost every character has a Scottish accent, whether they’re Russian, Spanish or Egyptian 😂
the last point, I think that’s because in the states, their cities are often built in a grid pattern making it far easier to know which direction is which, plus I think culturally they tend to use these directions far more frequently then we do.

It always looks easy to dig a hole and they always use a long handled shovel to do it.

Someone spraying bullets from a fully automatic rifle always manages to hit the ground in front of the target, all around the target, in fact anywhere but the target (person)

A simple misundertanding that could be explained in 2 sentences almost always takes between 90 and 120 minutes to be resolved.

When the cops break into any lowlife's house they always catch him in bed with a trashy woman.
He's never watching the telly, reading a paper or changing a lightbulb.

Yer bang on about the holes as well ..... I've buried 4 cats in my life and it took bloody ages to dig the holes, yet an American baddie can dig a 3 x 6 four feet deep hole in about 10 minutes

The hair of people who step out a convertable is never out of place.
People never get change when buying a drink at a bar.
Upper floor hotel rooms are always right next to the lift doors.
The roof of every gold mine in a Western will cave-in at some point.
My own favourite from the old days was ... the goodie cowboys wore white hats and the baddies, black ones.
Also the baddie would normally have a beard shadow.
Singing cowboys never need to tune their guitars.
They also conveniently never break strings.
If they did, I wonder how far away the nearest music shop would be?

And they always manage to dig a hole that’s shaped exactly rectangular, and that shape carries on downwards with right angles joining the walls.

According to the movies, everybody is born with perfect teeth.
Only bad guys wear eye patches.
Apart from beans and steak, what do cowboys eat?Last edited by snooky; 18-04-2018 at 12:07 AM.

(Especially in old US films) when someone asks for a Scotch their host always pours it from a decanter.
