5 Childish Mistakes Every Movie Makes 

They need to do another one of these and catch more them common movie mistakes. There are A LOT of them that they missed.

They didn't forget, they made a video about that a while ago

Oh and wetting a keyboard ruins the whole computer, and zooming in on pictures by saying "enhance" keeps the picture non-blurry despite a set resolution.

one time I saw a scene where the guy pretended to type...he didn't even let his fingers touch the keys..lol it was very clear too.

"Launch the cuber-nuke!"

Yeah they do that a LOT!!

That shit fucked me up as a kid cause i didnt know how the fuck to move that forward after "wanna go out?"

Or wear a seatbelt.

And when someone breaks into a car, they can always find the keys in the visor above them.

Taking one puff off a cigarette 🚬 and then throw it away! 🤬

@@daryldixon3685 This is mostly due to the fact that Hollywood doesn't know how money or cigarettes work (especially the prices of cigarettes today).

I don't know what kind of school you went to, but EVERYONE is trying to leave with the bell

People never say goodbye at the end of phone calls.

@@TheKnownUniverse1 somehow the bell only rings before recess or school ending. (Don't they ring after every period?) (actually my current school dosen't have bells. Also we don;t run out because lessons are actually interesting and valuable. also that would be rude)

Also, the only reason to order a drink in a bar is so you can then ignore it completely, and eventually leave without even taking one sip of it.

Yeah, that's like walking into a restaurant and ordering "meat".

indeed! how unpolite!

+NerdSync I agree! I feel that people should

That should take a note from you scott

Ikr unsubbed!

Yeah, how else would we know the video is over if you don't say goodbye?

That's why I always skip town after I defeat the supernatural serial killer.

+MinesAGuinness That's sort of how it goes in Terminator/T2, where the lady who defeats the killer robot from the future is committed to a mental hospital.

+handsomebrick One of the many things that makes it a classic.

Very well put. That's why I don't call the authorities after I survive a horror movie plot. I just try to wipe my fingerprints off of all surfaces and walk away whistling inconspicuously...

It's also really annoying when the police just let the survivors leave, as if they don't need to bring them to the station for further questioning. That's what always bothered me about the end of Die Hard; the police probably have a thousand questions for John Mcclane (and they probably also want to get him to a hospital to treat his extensive injuries), but they just let him get in a limo with his wife and drive off. I'll admit, it's a cool way to end the movie, but to me it's the least believable thing in a movie full of unbelievable things.

Hookieloa Haha.

Really? In my country if someone asks for a beer they just give him the cheapest beer automatically and i've been to other countries and never had to specify what type of beer i want, i don't see a problem here

Mananpicar in my country if you dont specify, they give you the most expensive one

Would it confuse you if someone in a film were to say to the bartender "A pint of beer. Monty." or "I'll have a glass of Monty" and then gets a beer? By association alone, Monty would clearly be the brand of beer in question, so would it really be that all that confusing?

Hookieloa Then people come into my real bar when it's packed n say GIMME A BEER they get the one closest to me or the most expensive

The video is correct. If I don't say goodbye the person I was talking to will call back.

sl0ptart I thought the exact same when I was younger. Just rude.

Im an aussie and I dont say goodbye over the phone....but I know others do (there is an exception, I say goodbye to people that wont shut up on the phone)

I wonder how old the "not saying goodbye" thing is because I remember watching that on TV as a kid (in America) and noticing that TV shows and movies seemed to ALL be doing that (except maybe sitcoms).

The whole reason for that isn't to represent actual culture. In writing (novels, screen writing, etc) people are told to cut the fat and get to the gist of the conversation. Only so many minutes/pages a work can be. So polite niceties are cut to save time (and because some "experts" call that boring.)

Yea American movies can be stupid sometimes. The one that really gets me is when someone says "hello is anyone there" in their own empty house if they heard a noise. Who does that besides a few crazy people.

+Uncommon Sense_360 Yeah, Right?

+Diamoci al Cazzeggio We're not all fat also. Only 90% or so. lolol

+Diamoci al Cazzeggio unfortunately so much of what is seen in the media and movies about american's is compleatly false. Even the good stuff, like small towns being quant and willing to accept anyone for who they are, it's actually the opposite, you move to a small town that you and your family have never been too you will instantly become the 'weird" person.

+The Sqoou lol, isn't it like the opposite? by that i mean in american movies most people are pretty or at least thin whereas in reality many are overweight. not judging, just going by statistics and what i hear ^^

We don't use guns in my country but if I found someone rooting around my home , Jesus Christ would things get violent fast

..…. You guys don’t do this? 😅

In india we need 72 hours

In my country you xan contact police in the first minute, especially if it's a minor.they will help searching immediatly and give out information to all police officers to habe a look. Also they check typical hiding places and runaway places.

@@oporajitoD according to a indian lawyer - A Missing person complaint can be given at anytime. However the Police will issue the missing person report only after 24 hours have lapsed for individuals over 18 years of age and men. However if you are able to give a clear suspicion as to why the person is missing, police may generate missing person report even before that. A Missing person complaint is a complaint which the police will acknowledge and immediately register the FIR but a Missing Person report which contains the photograph of the missing person, description etc will be generated only after 24 hours (unless the MP is a woman or a child or minor) wherein the description and photo will go out to the police database and also using a copy - a newspaper publication can be done.

I remember my grandmother once watching a Mexican soup opera. A five year old kid goes missing and the police tells them to check back in 72 hours :D

That makes sense. @@cybercop3108

Bill Murray is Groundhog Day ate every donut during every take :-) but otherwise I agree with you

That had to be a terrible scene to do. At first, it's great, but after a few takes, he's gotta feel like shit. Runs a strange parallel to the actual Groundhogs Day story, actually. Great. Great. Good. Good. Good. Good. Meh. Bad. Bad. Bad. BAD. MAKE IT STOP!

I gotta tell ya man. One of the FIRST things we tell young actors coming up is to NEVER finish your food. Because it will FUCK you up, you'll have to take a stupid little bite every one of your eighteen takes for a fucking 90-second scene

Just because it's totally justified, and an essential part of an actors tradecraft, it is no less annoying when you notice it

I saw a lady do that once. she lit it in her car outside a store, got out, walked the 5 feet to the door, puffed on it a couple times then tossed it and went in. I was shocked

That happens a lot in Criminal Minds. That lady on the computer can find literally anything the investigators need on the internet in seconds. In real life it would take at least a few hours to find anything, if she found anything at all...

Joelle Jansen You're right! science is bad!

Actually hackier nerds have desktop environments designed to use only the keyboard, like it was in the good old days before they came up with mouse. There are still only rare instances where two people would type in the same keyboard, though.

@@petitio_principii you only need a keyboard if you are alredy in an command-prompt or something similar, but most ofbthe time you would need a mouse at least in the beginning.

Bad science bugs me. What’s worse is when the show tries to explain the science and does so poorly. For example the CDC scene in Walking Dead in which they tried to explain the zombie virus, and showed neurological function of a human pre- and post-virus. They showed just the brain stem being active in the zombies. Sorry, but the brain stem controls the most basic and automatic functions of the body. The bare minimum to keep someone alive. if the only brain activity is in your brain stem you would be comatose in the best-case scenario. Not only would you show no intelligent behavior but you would have no access to sensory information, be able to move your muscles to eat/walk, etc.

Roger Ebert identified the "idiot plot," which requires the characters to be incapable of noticing something that's perfectly obvious to the audience, otherwise the central problem would be solved too soon! (One example is the Princess Diaries sequel, where her mother wants to marry her off and the pretender to the throne is young, single and handsome...)

Most ppl can’t have simple straight forward honest conversations with one another. You only have to read internet comments to realize this truth

Not Obligated uh yes random stranger because if you treat ppl like this that you do not know I can only imagine how you treat those in your life. How we act behind close doors, or behind screens if you prefer shows who you really are. Have friends. Have a life. Not European. But good guess I suppose. Enjoy your RU-vid account you made just to troll.

Someone runs off in the middle of a misunderstanding and there's only a half-hearted attempt at chasing after them. I hate that in movies!

I think that got started a long time ago with a show called “Three’s Company”. The landlord or someone overheard a part of a conversation and ran with it, even though it totally pertained to someone or something else.

+Gordon Arthur I always think that the filmmakers are addicts when that happens.

+Gordon Arthur I remember watching a documentary where they interviewed a cop that had gone undercover for some time in the dope game. He said he felt retarded the first time they were sent to pick up a few bricks of heroin because he saw in movies how they dig their fingers in and taste it, except he didn't know it was heroin. The only real reason I could see to do anything like that would be to try a small amount, if the substance is white, and see how numb your mouth gets (more numb it is generally means its not as cut). His didn't numb at all, he got a finger full of heroin (generally very brown looking) and it tasted about as bad as you could imagine a processed drug cut with nasty shit would taste like and the crew member with him gave him the dumbest look.

Haha

+Bill F I would very much like to watch that documentary, if you can remember the name.

+Gordon Arthur Well you forgot number 5. In order for the officer to recognize the drug from just a little taste, that means he had to do drugs prior, so he can learn the difference, right? Furthermore he had to do a plethora of drugs and acquire experience in order to be able to identify a drug so quickly, from a plethora of possibilities.

Nick Zardiashvili yes! They do that one a LOT!

In Avengers, one kick knocks a bad guy to the ground forever. Eventually bad guys are littering the streets and none of the regains consciousness to fight again.

In reality the severity of a head injury is judged by how long they were unconscious. Anyone knocked out for several hours has major brain damage and/or is dead or will soon be. Most likely brain dead. Getting knocked out in a real fight usually lasts around 30 seconds. Give or take. But if you're hit on the head and able to be picked up, carried into a vehicle, driven to a place, carried into a building, put into a chair in a sitting position, held there while you're securely tied up. You probably won't survive for long with that much trauma unless you get immediate medical care.

Super Troopers!! Enhance!

Rick & Morty had a good joke when this happened and the President screamed to use their 50 million dollar software to enhance it.

Ash Mckinlay nope, we do it here in the states. If someone doesn't say it I assume they lost signal and call right back.

Ash Mckinlay I often don't say goodbye because I'm a bloody movie star.

Ash Mckinlay this opens a whole new discussion on how Americans are perceived in other countries as a result of terrible movie making!

In Ireland, we end phone conversations thusly: "Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye, bye. Oh, did you hear about your cousin?"

Ash Mckinlay we say good or a form of it depending on who your are on the phone with. We're not animals

+Azivegu but you will fill forms in prison. Unless of course you are illiterate, than you just put your thumb here and you agreed to be a lab rat for the gov.

Anderson Andrighi but if I'll be free to start my very own prison gang, and they will do all my forms for me =3

+Azivegu Wow...ummm...wow.

+Azivegu Please you'd get handed around like a joint, only you'd be the one smoking.

+Azivegu ahhhh, put three fingers up ur BEEE

Then how come they are now putting diy "AED" boxes on every other street corner?

+John Doe because most of the time when people having a "heart attack" it will start with ventricular fibrillation. this is a very dangerous state because the brain wont get enough O2 which can cause serious damange pretty fast. to make things worse, during that time its practically impossible to use cariopulmonary resuscitation to any greater success. thats why u have to stop the heart first using a defi to be then able to restart it properly with CPR. I didnt say that it isnt an important tool. its probably the most important tool to prevent sudden cardiac death. the way it work is just the complete opposite of what film, tv and even games (like battlefield) suggest. in the very end tho CPR is what makes the heart beat again and no current impulse can do that, thats just complete hollywood bullsht

+Roman Randhahn Not necessarily stop it. But there's a certain part of the beat, the t-wave, that a defibrillator will induce fibrillation and probably kill you But the rest of the time it would probably just pointlessly defibrillate/burn you. Very ill advised still.

+John Doe Those defibrillators detect the heart beat and won't shock a healthy beat, or at the wrong time, making them essentially 'safe'. The ones in the movies simply deliver a shock when you press a button though.

+Gradius The ones in movies are operated by professionals who don't need an automated voice telling them how to do their job.

indeed, you keep your finger over the safety catch ready to push the safety off and then pull the trigger. people running round tense areas with the safety off in films is almost as bad as the other cliche of cocking the weapon (i.e. the process that puts a round in the chamber) after brandishing said weapon for dramatic effect; ffs you do not threaten someone with a weapon that you haven't made ready yet

Some guns have the safety mechanism in the trigger, so you are actually sometimes meant to run around with your finger on the trigger. It's still only something you should do if you think you might actually have to fire it in the very near future, but it isn't always the sin it's made out to be

While doing cocaine ;) tango and cash - awesome movie :)

@Roger Balcer he's holding a revolver your comment is irrelevant. Your entire comment is built around handguns not to mentions its only modern handguns that are generally built with only internal safeties rather than external. I refuse to buy any handgun that doesn't have a hammer and external safety.

hahahahaha.... or bleach

Or cyanide!

+Sketchy Fella Partially agree, but my dad actually often does the smelling thing when he notice an unusual smell, sometimes I do it too

+Sketchy Fella Ehh, the sniffing is somewhat realistic. Sometimes I get a slight whiff of something, and have to do a heavier sniff or two to confirm that I did indeed smell what I thought I smelled.

+Sketchy Fella It's called the job of acting, they want YOU(the viewer) to know they are smelling something so they fave to be expressive about it.

Jay Medina It's bad acting. You can portray heartbreak by clinching your hand across your chest and throwing your arm over your eyes and wailing "woe is me", or you can show a subtle, sorrowful look across your face. It's one of those old acting bits left over from the days of stage acting, before they could put a camera in your face. They had to be more emotive for the people in the back of the room. Now, not so much.

You might inhale deeper to make sure the smell wasn't an illusion, that's accurate. Now, if you do it loudly and several times, however; or worse, whip your head all over the place while you snort that scent...

definitely! and what about when people react to murder/blood/vomit by immediately throwing up?

I made a very similar comment on another vid. It's ridiculous. Unless the body dropped down or popped out at you suddenly. Then you might yell, briefly, but you wouldn't carry on like a banshee.

I can understand screaming if it's gruesome. But yeah, almost always a woman, almost always screaming. Women tend to disproportionately find dead bodies in movies and TV probably just so they can have them scream dramatically 😂

@Roger Balcer Not only in that movie. Daughters are what feels like ALWAYS super scared and screamy and refuse to move in moments of crisis until their parents waste precious time to calm them down. I don't know how real children are, but I think they would rather just do what they're told because they know this is not the right time to act up. If even mommy and daddy are scared, shit's gotten real.

@Snoi Med I think under these circumstances it's a different thing than in a country that is mostly safe. If there is a real threat to your life, I can understand that people panic more easily.

I love when a character opens open that 1200 page law book or opens that certain file folder and BAM there it is! Instantly! A mini montage showing some semblance of passing time and endless searching goes a long way.

I'm also a fan of the elusive tape recorder which is always set not just at what they need to listen to, but at the beginning of what they need to listen to, as if some kind little investigatory faerie rewound it for their ease.

In reality you'll probably be hearing Michael Haggins "Daybreak" before anything important happens.

Btter still: phone rings. Character answers. Person at other end says "turn on channel 3. Now". Character switches on the TV (which comes on instantly) and there's the news article, BAM. To answer your question: no, of course it's not possible! Given that most news articles on TV are no more than 30 seconds long, by the time the TV has switched on the story would be pretty much over - never mind dialling the number, waiting for the call to ring, waiting for the other person to answer...

Christopher Bedford There are 24 hour news channels which will cover stories for much longer....

Electricity doesn't make any sounds when you get zapped most of the time either

+bradlbe It's the big, heavy industrial switch that makes the noise, not the electricity. The sound is believable to me. When I was little, all residential wall switches make a loud click-clack sound. You couldn't turn on the light to check on the baby without waking the baby. There was a transition to silent switches.

+Ken Collins I think what he means is when they flip a light switch and you hear a loud slamming sound every time a light in the hallway turns on. Not in every small house but when they turn on a light in a hanger or prison.

+Seven Billion, I know that's what he means. I'm drawing a lesson from the past. Switches make noise and you have to design them to be silent. I don't think there is any reason to make giant industrial-sized switches silent. I think the sound is realistic.

Ken Collins i guess. I mean iv never actually been in a hanger/prison so i wouldn't really know.

+Robert Davidson HID the silverware? Alfred would have gone Sebastian Michaelis on those bastards and FOUGHT them with the silverware. This is Alfred bloody Pennyworth we're talking about here.

+Robert Davidson Remember, Alfred was off crying about Bruce needing to fight Bane. Right about everything else though. Maybe the repo guys took the batcave too.

+Justin Barnes I don't even want to think bout how big of a tow truck that they would need to haul out an under ground cave.

+Robert Davidson Also did all the other shareholders also get their shit taken? Bruce doesn't even actually own Wayne Enterprises. He's literally just the majority shareholder.

+Robert Davidson Yeah, the problem with rendering a billionaire truly "bankrupt" is that it's not a light-switch achievement. As the video pointed out, he would have liquid assets and certain things paid for in clear. For creditors to come after him would only result after legal delays and wrangling. If they wanted to completely isolate him financially, it would have been better for Bane to "hack" into the IRS or something so that all his assets were frozen or seized by the government, which *can* work as quickly as shown.

nalk20 although not likely it is possible. A lot of hacking is algorithmic so you could calculate when it will be completed but not necessarily be able to stop it in that period of time.

Ned Stark in Game of Thrones. I'm going to tell all the enemies my plan to out their crimes to the king, before the king gets back from his hunt

i always hated that too; like why the hell would you tell the person you just saw murder a few people that you were going to rat on them.

@@1369Stiles Mate you have no clue how many hundreds of witnesses I've murdered in rdr2 because they say those exact fucking words.

Never can be too sure. Kids might find it...and lick it...before...I get the chance...

+Gizmos Monster I was gonna say, wouldn't a bad guy want to keep his conversations short and lacking in detail? If you're in a mob or terrorist organization and you need a goodbye for every phone call, you most likely will need to find a new career. Scratch that, you'd be sleepin with the fishes!

+Justin Barnes I dunno, if I was a crime boss I'd end all my calls with. "Kisses. *kissy noises*"

Geary youd be a very successful crime boss

In Germany it's like that. If you want a Pils, you mostly say beer. If you want Weizen you say weizen. One pub has his own default Pils and default weizen, If you want something else you can explain this of course

It’s like that in Sweden. You can say ”a beer please!” and the bartender will give you the house draft beer, the cheapest.

leftover trope from the days of radio when you didnt see the sword but heard the SHHIIIIING and knew it was a sword

If all the "unnecessary" sounds were removed from movies, it would be boring. Like explosions in space.

Only Daredevil would be able to hear it.

And fighting moves and pre-fighting coreographies cut the air making "woosh" sounds as if people had long staffs for arms and legs. That's probably specially the case in martial arts movies and those Japanese rainbow-colored live-action supeheroes with giant robots. It's possible that there are even head nodding noises, as they also nod a lot.

This is like every sci-fi in space, where we hear the engines, the explosions, LASER (and also see named laser...) Okay, I know it would be very dull to just see some explosions, without any sound

My thoughts exactly!

He did say there are some reasons to not say bye. But for normal conversations...

Don't forget how people answer the phone in movies too. "Talk to me," or "Yeah?" .. everyone says Hello? or informally something like what's up?

Lol. NO ONE in movies/TV has their car windows up! But seriously, don't we have the ability to erase the reflections of camera & crew from the windows?

Or putting the top up if it's a convertible.

They also get to park right in at the front steps of the building they're visiting. No parking lot blocks away for them!

But really can't speak on the ordering drinks..all that fancy talk is for the special snowflakes. Beer or Rum and coke, anything else I'll need a menu or ask the bartender what's the strong drink they can make.

+Uncommon Sense_360 (I'm a barman), it annoys me when people ask for something like "Rum and Coke". We have like 8 different rums, 3 of which are commonly mixed with coke, if you want Morgans Spiced Rum and coke, ask for Morgans Spiced and coke.

+Uncommon Sense_360 And then upon the realization that it is someone (or something) unsavory, run up the stairs and into their bathroom when their front door was RIGHT THERE BEHIND THEM!

+Uncommon Sense_360 Saying "Hello?" or yelling out is *literally* the best ting you can do if you suspect someone is in your house in bascially all instances. Absolutely nothing crazy about not wanting to corner a thief and make them a murderer.

+Uncommon Sense_360 Right, so special snowflake officially lost all of its meaning

Anyone else embarrassed they didn't notice that?

lol fail detected

Good call - I guess he remembered seeing that FDIC sign in a bank one time and thought "derp".

I don't live in the US, thought maybe the SEC had changed its name or that there had been a change in responsibilities amongst the many many many *many* regulatory agencies you have in that complicated country of yours ;)

Flip 3206-How is it childish? Some people don't know about any of this because they don't have money to invest so none of it's relevant to them.

+Poodlekisses I not only truncate valedictions but often just end my

+Heather Spoonheim hahahaha this comment was way too clever, I actually fell for it 😂😂😂

+Lex Man it might be a younger generation American thing. It only really happened with teens, with a few adults sprinkled in here and there. And I know this makes me sound way older than I am, but it's one of the reasons I hate teens now. Like the few years that exists between us actually makes a world of difference apparently

+Jeffrey Sam yes, yes we can.

+Jeffrey Sam Nah.

+Jeffrey Sam Your right about it's plot holes being beat to death, although I hadn't personally heard the "how money works" problems mentioned yet. I really enjoyed The Dark Knight Rises, but Bruce Wayne's instant & complete financial ruin stuck out to me more than any of the other problems.

+Jeffrey Sam No. People deserve to know just how mediocre those movies are.

+wmfivethree Agreed, there could have been way more logical ways for Bruce to become bankrupt. For instance, having board members that are plotting against him, like Miranda and Dagett did. And since the movie takes place 8 years after The Dark knight, they would have had plenty of time to slowly bankrupt the company and Bruce along with it.

Also, random littering, done by the good guys even. They throw stuff to the street, probably to indicate it's worthless or their anger, but still, bad manners.

The phone thing is part of a larger "Yeah, but..." to do with all dialogue. No-one talks like people do in movies and TV. They, um, pepper their speech with, like... random pauses and punctuations, get sidetracked, and unless they are delivering a speech they have previously prepared for some reason, rarely go on for 2 or 3 minutes on some topic or other without ever leaving a gap that someone else will try to jump into, even if it's just to agree with them. But, if dialogue were REALLY realistic, it would suck. There would be no flow, and it would sound odd to us, even though it would match what we hear from everyone we know every day

There's a life story hidden in that comment, isn't there?

Not really I'm actually fairly law abiding. I don't do drugs I rarely drink when I do I don't drive. I just don't put up with the the bullshit some of the cops around here try to pull. And i would much rather spend a night in jail and get out the next morning than waste money on a ticket.

yeah i think they have until the question you.

They give you the same document if your being questioned

What were the arrests for?

+Matthew Todd I always thought they did so to keep the pace. Imagine a movie that includes 20 phone calls (like X Files type stories), you're probably saving 1-2 entire minutes of redundant goodbye stuff by cutting it out. With that said, they typically show us people dialing or at least answering, so, my theory has its flaws. ;)

+Stéphane Lavergne At the very least, you can take 1 sec and say "bye" before you hang up in a movie

+hakasims Spped Dialing takes too long.

+Matthew Todd I know. Especially when they give long complicated instructions to someone and just hang up without warning, assuming they heard and understand it all.

+Matthew Todd Me too. I often loudly have to blurt out "goodbye!" for the sake of the characters on screen. I hope it makes them feel better, but I know it is folly.

+HitchensImmortal You were the least common denominator and didn't even know it. :P

+CountArtha Do you mean lowest common denominator? I'm really asking, because least common denominator would be something else, like a demographic so uncommon that it isn't planned for.

+MarshmanNo1 Actually the relevant real math phrases use "least" and "lowest" interchangeably.

Well, right. In math, it doesn't make any sense to differentiate. Common denominators occur with the same frequency, and so least and lowest can easily be interpreted as the same thing. Used in a social context, though, least common and lowest common can more easily be thought of as entirely different things. For example, Adam Sandler films are successful because they contain a lot of fart jokes, sex jokes, etc. Everyone gets that, because everyone farts, has sex, and so on. These kinds of things are often referred to as "lowest common denominators" because of their commonality, not because of their actual value, which cannot be truly quantified. Alternatively, a sitcom writer might write the character of Gary, a gay man who is secretly attracted to a straight character, Horace. While speaking on the phone, Gary may do a spot on impression of a woman, so that he might dupe Horace into building a sort of satisfying, if dysfunctional, long distance relationship, all the while letting Horace believe he is falling in love with a woman. The average viewer might think this is a ridiculous plot device, that men can't sound like women, and that the writers are taking a certain amount of creative license. But a very small demographic might share what I would call a least common denominator, some knowledge or characteristic that is not common, and know that there are actually voice training classes you can take to sound like a man or a woman. They exist to help transgendered people transition from male to female or female to male. Because this denominator is least common rather than lowest common, the writers would probably not expect most viewers to know about it, and might even find a way to work that information into the episode.

+MarshmanNo1 Very impressive.

Yeah, that's dumb. If you're going to leave your car unlocked, at least have the precaution of taking the keys with you.

Turns out 'hiding' your house key under the door mat is pretty common in real life as well as in movies...

You mean through his bullet proof gear? Yeah, weird how no one has ever tried to shoot Batman.... expect in every fight with an armed person ever when they tried and failed to injure him.

Yeah it's really hard to shoot him in the mouth which he leaves unprotected for some ass licking reason.

Jester Muffin its harder to headshot someone than you think...significantly harder.....oh hey!! I found another trope to add to this list

Nothing a person can wear is completely bulletproof. It is just a matter of how much of which ammunition you fire at it really. And even if the shot doesn´t kill him, it will still knock him down, break some bones or make him unable to catch his breath, just by the sheer momentum of the projectile. It´s not like you´re invincible with a bulletproof gear. And I didn´t even bring up grenades.

Jirka Zalabák exactly, the bullet may not penetrate, but it'll definitely hurt. alot.

+Wanetta Renay Yes this! Heh. Altough to be fair I've seen you can buy bullets in supermarkets...

yes, well, you just never know when you will really want to shot someone, best to be prepared in case something goes down in the produce section

So, no vending machines that sell a bio-degradable Glock with 10 pre-installed bullets for a Dollar? I see a business opportunity.

Cartridges, not bullets.

Wanetta Renay lol we just buy our guns from vending machines lmao

+Dan Peters Just another reason not to drink, as far as I'm concerned.. All these bartenders getting annoyed if you don't know exactly what you want, like you've tried everything already

+futurestoryteller If you don't know what you want you're too young to drink

Gumersindo Cebollero That's a stupid thing to say. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, this is the RU-vid comments section.

+Gumersindo Cebollero Whenever I go to a bar, I always just get a Jack and Coke because I don't feel like wasting a ton of money on things I may or may not like just to learn alcohol terminology. I'm 26.

+futurestoryteller That's not actually true. From my experience whenever I wanted to try something new the bartender would usually enjoy starting a conversation about what's good and what isn't. Of course I don't just go up to him and say "give me a whiskey", I say something like: "What's a good whiskey within this-and-that price range?" I've never felt they're annoyed with me for that

perfect example of this is Fin in Force Awakens. So, let me get this straight. you were stationed on a planet sized gun, know all of the intricacies and your way around like it was your childhood tree house, but you don't happen to MENTION ITS EXISTENCE TO THE REBELLION until after it blows up an entire solar system, killing billions of people?

J GaS That movie was one of the best definitions of the term "plot hole". The only other movie I've seen that had more plot holes than plot, was "Prometheus".

that's not what a MacGuffin is. A MacGuffin, is a plot device that drives the story forward, it is usually important to both the protagonist and antagonist. Some famous examples of MacGuffins are; 1. The Death Star plans or simply R2-D2 - Star Wars 2. The Ark of the Covenant - Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. The One Ring - The Lord of the Rings What you are describing is simply a plot hole.

Ignoring the fact that Finn doesn't meet the Resistance until AFTER Star Killer Base is used... as soon as he meets the Resistance he gives them his intel.

wossonjohn85"A MacGuffin, is a plot device that drives the story forward" ---I said that. It's a tool used by writers, to advance the story without actually adding to it. The most common type of MacGuffin is an object, place, or person. Other more abstract types include money, victory, glory, survival, power, love, or some unexplained driving force.

You're the 3rd person I've seen say that... I'm kind of disappointed in American directors/actors for misrepresenting us.

@@TheZenBullet You evil asocial dick!

GIRL, SAME

+Mike Hermida THANK YOU!

+Mike Hermida To be... fair(?) most veterans who have experienced combat apparently don't experience PTSD. I've only heard this a few times, and I tried looking it up again before commenting - I found the same answer but not directly from any known reliable source (this time.) The number is said to be between 10% and 25% of veterans who have seen combat developing PTSD. While that is tragically many people, it also puts them in the minority. So maybe that's frighteningly realistic(?) Probably not though as the rest of them seem likely to have other problems. Like depression and bi-polar disorder

futurestoryteller From experience with my husband having been in a combat area, twice, I can say, at least for us, PTSD is certainly caused by being in a situation such as theirs. However, I agree that most who get it from a combat situation are probably ones who were heavily attacked or had heavy losses. My husband had it because of how the military trains and some certain things that happened on his bases in Iraq. However, the issue he mentioned here was a typical civilian getting PTSD from some very traumatizing events categorized as "action", which any "normal" person most certainly would be affected. Military people are trained to some degree to know what to expect, civilians are not and I would wager an educated guess that 9 times out of 10, they would have severe flashbacks/repercussions from their experiences.

Jess B1110 I'm just presenting statistics, if they are to be believed; most people who experience trauma (luckily) will not develop PTSD, that's more or less across the board. There are certain specifics. For instance, a person who is assaulted is far more likely to experience it than someone who experienced a less intimate trauma, like a car wreck. That's certainly not to say that it is unrelated to their previous (or ongoing) situation, like your husband's war experience. I never said that, combat obviously causes PTSD. It just may not do so as commonly as people think. I don't think that minimizes anyone's suffering. I don't think it should be looked at like a competition. Questioning "who was traumatized the most?" or "what kinds of people are more likely to be traumatized?" There's a statistical probability of mental trauma. I think lower likelihood is a good thing. One bad experience is enough, and reliving it is hell. The plight of that is understandable, and worth treating with care, that doesn't mean we can't be happy for those who don't have to suffer through it, even though they've been to some of the same places

+Mike Hermida They tried that with Tony Stark and people cried about it.

That depends on what part of L.A. you're in...

Anthony Hargis well they must identify themselves when they take legal action against you for example they can't tackle you to the ground and slap handcuffs on you without revealing their identity however you are correct in that they can say whatever the criminals need to hear in order to stay undercover

They need to to make an arrest or to take away your rights to defend yourself against their attempt to capture you.

I've never seen a movie/TV show that portrayed that as an actual rule. But I have seen a movie where SERIOUS CRIMINALS actually seemed to think that: "The Departed". Lol. Leo DiCaprio joins Jack Nicholson's gang, and IMMEDIATELY the police are 100% more efficient. They ask him if he's a cop, and Leo says no. And then the bad guys are like "Well, if he says he's not a cop, then he's not a cop!"

+Alex San Lyra Yeah, and don't forget about fire and fire-explotions in space.

+Alex San Lyra That's what I found so unsettling about the explosions in Gravity. Adhering to reality, the explosions in that movie were completely silent other than the musical soundtrack and it kind of threw me off until I realized that that is what would actually happen.

+Gary Horsman Yeah, Gravity hit quite a few solid notes with regard to realism. Did you now that "space trash" really is a problem? There's so much stuff up there now... satellites and such... that NASA is worried that what happened in that movie might actually happen irl. Apparently, if one of the satellites gets hit by some space debris, it might might shatter and set off that chain reaction in the movie. Kinda scary. o.O'

Alex San Lyra You're right. There is a lot of garbage up in space and no feasible solution to clean it up. As far as I've heard, the scenario in Gravity of a cataclysmic collision between debris and space stations or other manned missions, though conceivable, is not likely given the various orbit heights each occupies. This is from people like Neil deGrasse Tyson. In any case, great movie.

+Thomas Angelo There would still be a fiery explosion, but it would be pretty fast and more like a hydrogen balloon catching fire as the fuel gets consumed pretty quickly.

+Byron MacGreggor But they work in the FBI. The X-Files is their actual job.

+Byron MacGreggor Nonsense Macgreggor.

+Byron MacGreggor Actually it's not uncommon at all between agents to call each other by their last names.

+Byron MacGreggor Oh wow, what a profound criticism of the X-files

+Byron MacGreggor You do know they didn't start out as lovers. They started out as professionals that didn't really want to work with each other. Thus the professional surname usage. After they became lovers, well I wouldn't know. I stopped watching the show before that happened.

+SmultronsyltNatha I tend to tell everyone I love them before hanging up...even if it's the pizza guy or a telemarketer.

+SmultronsyltNatha Lol, that's great - from the outside that probably seems like something Americans might do - but no, even here in the U.S. that would be considered exceptionally rude - and it'd be so weird that everyone you did it to would call back immediately thinking they were accidentally disconnected.

+Legendary Detective Wobbaffet The pizza guy is _bringing you _*_pizza_*. It's perfectly reasonable to love him for that.

+SmultronsyltNatha That's the second time I've seen this. It's sad to think of the other things people think Americans do because of movies.

+SmultronsyltNatha Well your conclusion is wrong. That's a rude thing to do.

In my town they take three months to shut it off and the turn back on the next day the bill is paid.

It's because everybody complains about movies where things change on the plate every time they had to edit the scene from multiple takes. So now they tell actors not to touch the food, because it is just too damned hard to make every single breadcrumb and noodle and drop land exactly where it was at the same point in the dialogue in the previous take that will get edited in after this one. They already have enough work getting the actors to move their arms and legs to the same positions.

No-one wants to watch people eat in a movie unless it is necessary to the plot, for the most part.

+Brendan Nikola I really thought they were going to show that! There's this part where she's like "Where the hell have you been Mulder? I've been trying to reach you! You just hung up on me and I couldn't get a hold of you for three hours!" lol Seriously though, why didn't they show that?

+Nume Moon Oh really? I thought that sprinkler system is stupidly made...

51stcenturygirl Sprinkler systems are designed to prevent as much fire/water damage as possible. If all the sprinklers on the floor went off at the same time... think of all that property damage that could have been avoided if just the sprinkler above the fire went off. Why flood an entire floor when you could just create a system that allows each individual sprinkler head to activate as the fire spreads? This way, maybe only 2 or 3 sprinkler heads will need to be reset after the fire is put out.

+Nume Moon And you dont need a lighter, just press out the glass tube on the sprinkler you're under...

Ah yes, it depends on the installation and country. Thats the very reason, smoke detectors in my premises raise an alarm, but not automatical sprinkling, since they are easy to set off for false positives. The heat ones immediately sprinkle, and of course only there where the glass broke.

+George Lionon I'd also just once like to see a movie character try this thinking he'll get the entire floor wet. He stands on a chair, holds his lighter aloft, then he sets off just one sprinkler over his own head, and punchline: it's a _foam_ water sprinkler. ;p

I would say: if you as a filmmaker come down to a choice of being completely unrealistic or adding another 40 minutes of exposition to a movie that is already pretty long, that just means your movie's premise sucks and you need to come up with a new one.

Yeah this glaring mistake in a video dedicated to showing "childish mistakes" made me want to stop watching the video, which started a fight with my wife.

+David Ingle You fought with your wife because you didn't want to watch a video, and the video guys are guilty of making "childish mistakes"? The SEC still wouldn't freeze Bruce's assets overnight, and certainly they wouldn't raid his house clean of furniture and get power cut. Overnight.

+Danilo Stinghen the point still stands that the FDIC would not have been the agency to intervene, and this was a sophmoric mistake.

David Ingle Urm.... Is the guy from the video vying for a major in economics? If not, then why would he give two shits about making a sophomore's mistake? His point is stronger than your point, whoever it is that would go for Bruce Wayne's pants wouldn't manage to do it as soon as Bane pulls out his shenanigans.

+Danilo Stinghen he's making a video highlighting mistakes, in which he makes a mistake.

SuperSongbird21 they are

SuperSongbird21 So I see this comment is nine months old and you surely don't care but I have issue with your statement. The examples in this video pretty easily apply to movies across all genres, but yours doesn't. Cops are typically depicted as useless in action and horror movies, but they're pretty helpful in romantic movies, comedies (when the plot doesn't require them to be bumbling), coming if age, family, and dramas. That's of course just my observation and opinion, but I felt it needed to be said.

+Adam Miller Who really listens to you in those places? You know how many times I've described - in public, in detail the killing of people - with no context, because I was talking about video games? People will leave a downed toddler in the middle of the street, to get hit by a bus because It's "not their responsibility" you really think anyone gives a shit what you speak at room volume over pancakes?

+futurestoryteller tbh, I'm one of those people who listen in on every conversation in the room, then I usually focus on the most interesting one. Diabolical plans tend to be interesting. Just an aspect of being the quiet type.

+CyeOutsider I swear they do this shit as an injoke. NCIS had two people type on the same keyboard at once (whaaat?) to thwart a hacker. And of course the computer shows a big flashing "hacker alert" warning that someone programmed their computer to do instead of, like, blocking whoever was trying to hack it.

CyeOutsider I always hated how computer screens in movies look like they're running super HD images, streamlined animations, and moving data around like the matrix. A real CSI lab looks like it's trapped somewhere between the late 80's and mid 90's with computers running Windows at it's base level. Also why do so many labs in movies and tv have shitty lighting?

or how they can any grainy looking camera, video, or image, clean it up, zoom it in to get a look at the face of the suspect

Don't you have to be, like, 3 months in arrears?

+Maret83 Completely agree and we share same "favourite" mistake. But seeing how horribly unrealistic Hollywood is about it's own country I'm not surprised how bad it is about other countries...
