There are A LOT & You don't have to name name all of them. Just a couple & let's keep it going till, I don't know, the end of time maybe. lol
I'm gonna start us off...
When a character has a gun & clearly has the upper hand over the other person but takes out the bullets & throws away the gun so they can fight hand to hand. It's so stupid & happens WAY too often
Keep it going...

The Entire Plot Was Just an Incredibly Complicated Ruse
The Extra-Good Guy Is Evil

"julie i love u, please dont go!"
"sorry, bob, i have to get on this plane to start my new life far away while u stay here"
next scene bob is in tears as the bus/train/plane pulls away
there stands julie, who decided not to get on....
Good ones. You sure made your research.
How about:
Cop is about to retire but has to go on one last mission that could prove deadly.
Or
Gangster comes out of jail and vows to never go back to the gangster life and yet is pulled right back in.
"aliens come to exterminate humans with superior technology, humans somehow win in the end"
Yes!
You would think that these aliens with all their advanced technology would've figured out how to distribute their command software across multiple servers, so if, for example, we blow up their mothership their entire attack doesn't collapse.
Hell, we've already figured that out.
dystopian future
scarce resources
yet everyone has plenty of cigarettes
I note that same type of discrepancy in 'Idiocracy'.
Agricultural system and production collapsed, yet all manner of junk food and fast food restaurants abound. Cigars smoked by "doctors".
Apparent depression/deep recession, yet consumer goods ( and their outlets ) are everywhere. Same for "services".
Still a good movie ( documentary? ) though.
The high school girl who is supposedly ugly, but would be one of the hottest girls at your school.
People driving cars and staring at their passengers for long stretches of time while the car is moving.
People outrunning a machine gun. They're running sideways and the bullets can't quite catch up to them. It's not that hard to turn a gun a little faster.
Conversations that have seemingly long breaks. For example, two characters will be talking as they leave an office. Then the scene jumps to them getting in a car, and they're continuing the conversation right where it left off. What were they talking about while they were walking down the stairs and across the parking lot?
Hallmark movies always have an ice skating scene and/or some kind of festival or fair scene.
Characters in soap operas never sit around watching soap operas.
Yes to everyone of these! :)
shareI probably already mentioned this but when the bad guy is about to kill the good guy in the end he always pauses for a little bit and during that because someone is able to save the good guy
