“Digging Graves In Wooded Areas”: 50 Fake Things That Happen In Films That Annoy Audiences

20 parked cars, 10 trees, and numerous corners as options, but no they'd rather stick to the road. Come on car get 'em.

The Prometheus School of running ( thanks Cinemasins)

Like the one time when the two girls in Prometheus were running from the donut spaceship and all they had to do was running to the left or right but nooooo...

Another victim lulled by the pretty yellow lines into the deceptive promise of a "'no passing' zone".

To all antagonists: just put them out of their misery. Roll credits.

I remember Nicole Kidman going on David Letterman's show after she got divorced from Tom. Dave said she looked stunning. Nicole replied it was the first time she wore heels in 12 years. Best burn ever by an ex.

It still blows my mind that they had him playing Jack Reacher in the movies. He's only about a foot too short and 100 pounds too light.

It's known that he gets to pick his female co stars and he never chooses anybody who is taller than him. Ex wife Nicole Kidman was at least 10 cm taller than him, and wasn't allowed to wear high heels in any scenes with him. Now, you see her with high heels all the time, even with husband Keith Urban, who is bit a shorter than she is, but who is confident enough to not be intimidated by her when she does wear heels and overtowers him.

I think it's probably in his contact that no one is allowed to be taller than him. He's apparently touchy about it.

Emily Blunt has a listed height of 5' 6.5" (168.9cm) Tom Cruise is listed as 5' 7" (170cm). Very inaccurately depicted here

The Fast and Furious series managed to avoid these issues by getting rid of any physics or reality.

It happens in real life too. Scares me silly.

Equally annoying is the opposite: two people have been in a car on a journey of perhaps 20 minutes, but it's only when they arrive at the destination that one tells the other where they are, and why they're there, for exposition purposes.

This is my pet peeve. I'm always yelling "watch the road!!!!"

For me, the mark of a good actor is knowing the right amount of steering wheel movement.

The unbroken ground in my yard took me awhile to dig a hole large enough for tomato plants. Any body I buried would have appendages sticking out of the ground.

I can confirm that. We had to dig trenches for NATO maneuvers in wooded areas in northern Italy. 20 soldiers with the thin can shovel they gave us and we barely managed a 2 ft trench half of us could hide in. I have heard of soldiers digging a small hole and stuffing hand grenades to soften the earth, but we were in peacetime and each lost grenade would have been enough paperwork to fill each hole.

Or digging holes or graves without wearing work gloves and their hands aren't all torn up and covered with blisters.

No mosquitoes, no rocks, no downed trees or branches, no sudden rain storms, & they can talk as loud as they want.

And the hole is always a perfect with squared corners. Digging is hard exhausting work and these six foot perfect holes in movies would take hours of back breaking work.

@2 also it takes a lot more heat than a cigarette lighter to set one off. Unless you have a blowtorch in your pocket, it's not going to happen.

Isn't stagnant water in a system then being sprayed out years later a massive legionella risk? Obviously the risk of your building being on fire is higher but legionella is no joke.

#2 isn't entirely true. Maybe this person is new in the industry and only works on new systems, but yeah, the old ones are all pretty much tied together in a way that the shock of one going off sets off the next one.

Double ewww

Oh yes, having being on the receiving side of a sprinkler I can testify that you know what happens.

I've cried bs many times when a character gets a broken leg/ankle/foot and manages to get up and limp away holding the side of the leg affected. I've broken all three at different times, you just lay down and wait for the ambulance and TRY not to cry. Or scream if it's a femur, did that in September of last year. I was born with brittle bone disease.
