-Any unassuming cat spotted in the first half of the film will become a shrieking, red-herring surprise to the protagonist in the second half of the film.
-Any Whodunit usually has very little mystery involved: Hollywood is cheap and speaking parts cost money due to SAG/Equity rules.
Their six shooters never run out of bullets and their cartridge belts are always full.
Leo is 5'11'' so he is average heighth, and also a much better actor than Tom Cruise.

Women wake up in the morning with all of their makeup, including lipstick, looking perfect.
Even when kidnapped and tied up for a long time, people never need to go to the bathroom.
People's houses or apartments are always much nicer than what their salaries would actually be able to buy them. Even a struggling actress or waitress has a really fabulous apartment.
Women take off their clothes twice as often as men do.
The more wacky and zany a woman is, and the more trouble she causes to a guy, the more irresistible he finds her.
The guy with blond hair and blue eyes is almost always a mean, nasty person. (Women, however, are allowed to be blonde and blue-eyed and still good guys.)
That ain't saying much.
I only tried that once and practically had to shave my head to get the knots out.
LOL! Amen!! I mean, when they're searching for Dracula's crypt, or checking out a spooky house, or something why don't they go at 8 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon? And for that matter, why do ghosts only come out at night? I mean, Dracula I can understand. But ghosts? What are we taking about here -- union rules or something?
And always near beat-up trash cans in dark, wet alleys.
Women, menaced by the bad guy/monster, whatever, chose to run for their lives still wearing their 3" spike heels. I don't even run for the doorbell or the phone in 3" spike heels. Somehow I think that were my life in danger, the heels might be the first thing I shed.
Well, if you're in danger, and if somehow you haven't a gun or knives available, use the heels and aim for his eyes or groin.
The SCREAM franchise played this perfectly.
Any time there is an indestructible serial killer in the vicinity (see "Voorhees, Jason"), and a noise is heard outside at night, any female must strip down to her underwear before going outside (alone) to "take a look."
Err...if it were a ghost union, wouldn't it be Boo-nion rules? :-)

I did think of another one. People who run TO the window/door when shots are fired right outside.
Talk about making yourself a target.
I do.It is called a trumpet.I do not know how to play it,but the family sure appreciates it.As the conversation is on movies,a little fake out for our servicemen and women for a good cause is more than justified.I do move my fingers,and would play it if it weren't for my busted lips.Kissed an APC once,lost a few front teeth,but the scars do not heal.
California cars have a ramp in the back and it rolls your car over.
Who orders out for coffee and sandwiches anymore? It was a staple of detective dramas for years...
Every city street all over the world has, along the sidewalk, the following:
A watermelon vendor cart
Stacks of empty cardboard boxes
Plastic barrels
All of which will be struck during a car chase.
