Take, for example, the huge waste of science minions in an action movie. The main bad dude doesn't seem to mind sacrificing a couple of scientists, despite the fact that the world appears to be in a classic post-apocalyptic era, which means way fewer people. I mean, how are you going to build your doomsday device in time if you keep killing off the brainier sections of your minions?
There is also the classic "Girl wakes up the morning after a tryst" scene, where her hair is amazing and silky and gorgeous, and even though she appears to have slept with her make up on, none of it has smudged. At all. Which is pretty much impossible, especially after the night passion the movie showed before with all sorts of hair tossing and acrobatics and passionate face-nomming...er...smooching.
Action movies where there's a plucky female love-interest is also amusing. I remember one film where they were running through a desert while being fired at. And the love-interest's bright white pants were spotless at the end of it all, and she was wearing fresh lipgloss. Really? It's great you have this awesome CGI, but my suspension of disbelief only goes so far hey.
And it's amazing how crappy the general troops are at shooting. You have dozens of men firing at our hero/ione, but they get grazed with a bullet maybe once or twice. What are the hiring processes at that association? Don't they make them go through some kind of interview process?
"Hi, so you're applying for the evil minion guard position?"
"Yes sir."
"Here, take this gun and fire at that target."
*Bang! Bang!*
"Missed completely...you're hired!"
Don't even get me started on the movies where they spent more time on the special effects than the script...Yeesh!
