Life Lessons From The Movies And TV

I found this list on Tumblr and liked the truths it exposed. Some of these come from Japanese mech/manga so I don't get all the references. I assume they would make sense to someone who likes that genre.

My List

If the hero needs time to put on a power ring or suit of armor, the bad guys will wait patiently for him/her to do that.

Dead is never really dead (Unless you are Uncle Ben).

If they show the dead serial killer lying dead behind the back of the girl he was threatening, then that killer will sit up. This resurrection is not noticed by the girl until the killer comes up close behind her.

A character's cell phone will always ring when they are hiding from a killer thus exposing where they are hiding.

A hostage that the killer is threatening to kill if the hero takes one more step forward or doesn't throw down his gun will be shot by the hero with no damage done to the hostage.

A speeding car being chased by authorities will always destroy a conveniently placed fruit stand. Outside of a farmer's market, when has anyone of us EVER seen a old timey fruit cart on the street? Somehow, at least one car in the pursuit will hone in on one with deadly accuracy.

Slutty girls always die first.

The black guy never dies.

Movie heroes can take an enormous amount of punishment but somehow have energy to perform amazing feats of strength.

Heroes can throw dozens of punches to the face of their opponent without any actual visual damage being done to themselves except for that trickle of blood at the corner of the mouth.

On TV, the person who ends up being the one responsible for a crime is easy to spot. They are an actor you have seen before in something else. The killer is never a nobody.
