Laws of Movies

[JetRaiden]

Ok, here's how it works. Take a movie genre, any of them, and list some of the stereotypes that seem to apply almost like law now. For starters, Ill do Police movies.

-2 misfiting partners
-at least 1 has, or aquires an awesome car at some point in the movie
-at least 1 of them has a parent who was killed on duty


now your turn.

Action movies:

Fights are long, like several minutes

Everybody seems to know kung-fu. They've got kicks and fists flying. Most people that haven't done martial arts before use tackles and punches. You ever see anyone tackle an enemy grunt? No.

The hero and the supreme bad guy are always really good fighters. Even if the bad guy is this scientist dude who doesn't look anything like a fighter. Wouldn't it be nice to see a final fight where one guy just completely beats the shit out of the other one in like 10 seconds?

Video Game Movies:
-suck

[Veteran]

The villain must be an egomaniac, and must dispose of the hero in a way that will give the hero time to make good their escape.

The skulls of people in movies are designed to absorb blows that would cripple a heavyweight boxer. Whether they're getting hit with the butt of a rifle or a steel girder, they won't be down for long.

Spoken dialogue immediately following a killing is limited to one sentence.

Despite how smart and genetically superior the monster, it will be defeated by simple human tricks.

The good guys always win

[Cyanide]

Porn movies.

- The best place for sex is the copy room, because as we all know, it is the most private place in the office.

- The pizza delivery guy is always ripped and doesn't have a single zit.

- Light bulbs above 25 watts are forbidden.

- Police uniforms are 4 sizes too small.

Bad Horror/Monster films

1. There is always a couple we got divorced and through the events they get back together
2. what ever can go wrong will go wrong
3. The car is never gonna start until the thing your running from is right next to the window
4. The chick always has to trip on something at a crucial moment.
5. Everyone always dies except the cute kid and the couple that got back together.

I dont feel like playing this game

[Mr1337Duck]

Hoss, you forgot one:

There's always the bad thing in the basement. There's also almost always a black guy who's dumb enough to go check it out.

[Angel_of_Death]

Horror / Action Moves.

The black guy always dies.

All so true.

[Lartnev]

All so true indeed, wasn't it the plotline for Final Destination?

Erm, Romantic Comedy:

Find two people that would normally hate each other
Have them find each other in an unusaul, often embaressing way
Have them want to kill each other arguing, often amusingly
Introduce common interests at an agonisingly slow rate during the course of the film
One attempts to leave town other begs, adding comedy to fill line, for them to stay
Happiness.
