The bad guys can never shoot straight. No wonder how many bullets they shoot, they can never hit the hero, while the hero always kills his enemy with his first bullet.

Of course, when the bad guys are shooting at the hero's best friend, especially if it's a cop just about to retire, they will hit him somewhere in the chest. Never in the head, because the poor man has to do a touching little speech before he dies...

Another thing that bothers me: In war films, Germans scream at Jews in German but speak English when they're among themselves.

A third thing: In sci-fi, when the heroes travel back in time or go to another planet, everybody in the past or on Mars speaks English.

... and they all look strangely humanoid--except with slightly larger heads!

I thought of another one--a corollary to the gender-bender rule: The flimsiest disguise, such as a wig or a glued-on beard, will make you completely unrecognizable even to your best friend or your spouse!
