Movie Cliches

[christopher575]

Big-time drug kingpin cuts open a huge bag of drugs open to sample it instead of using the perfectly serviceable zip-loc seal.

People talk about someone in the bathroom without checking for feet in the stalls and the person they’re talking about is totally in one of the stalls.

The only one in the group who didn’t want to go to the strip show ends up on stage with the dancer.

Please remember that the last one is sometimes not so far off base, ie "Stop! I could get a herpe!"

You need to check out this site:

That has been pointed out in comments before, but I worry that I wouldn't be able to list the ones that I see if I look at that site.

Then again, I haven't been able to come up with new ones in a long time, so maybe it's time to give up and look at the site.

don't forget that the kingpin always uses a thin blade stiletto to cut the bag open.

Any movie genre that references movies in the same genre results in the references "ironically" affecting the mentioner. (ETA: this also goes for movies based on TeeVee shows referencing the original TeeVee show)

I've been wondering when you would post more of these! I noticed another one recently, the sole female survivor in horror/thriller movies often finds out she is pregnant at the end of the movie. *gag*
