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...
'I haven't seen Bobby, Jenny, Steve or Amanda all day, it's probably nothing...
Let's go skinny dipping, generic, brunette 32 year old High School girlfriend...What could go wrong at this camp site?!'
I've inherited this decrepit house/cabin in the middle of the forest, from a relative that I never even knew I had. So of course I'm not gonna look into it & just gather my good looking friends & We're gonna spend an entire weekend here partying & having sex
What could possibly go wrong
1) the angry police chief who gets in the way of the officer trying to solve the crime
2) boom gate/security checkpoint being driven through, angry guard yelling
3) someone talking about retiring to the ocean, just before they’re killed

detectives boss takes him off the case
he keeps investigating
The movie villain criminal mastermind with the extravagant lair...If you're committing crimes and holding the world hostage for 500 Billion Dollars wouldn't it be more sensible to buy a small cottage out of the way somewhere?
Buy a secret evil lair on Staten Island, absolutely nobody ever goes there, that place never even comes up in conversation
Seriously, people are going to notice a gigantic underwater glass dome or a volcano with a frigging satellite dish on it!
Knocks on door.
2 seconds later...
Knocks on door again.
What human being doesn't know that you wait at least a minute before you knock or ring the bell again. No one answers the door in 2 seconds.
Somewhat related, used to see this a lot
Setting: someone's home, time period: when land-line phones were all there were, so pre-1990s, especially the older rotary dial type phones with the jarring clang Hollywood Foley artists love to use so much.
Phone begins to ring. One ring....two...three...four. Only then does the resident seem to even acknowledge the phone is ringing, very calmly finishes the activity he or she was engaging in. The phone is ringing all the while. Said resident calmly and slowly makes his/her way to the phone, and answers....after about the 25th ring. Yeah right!
The unwritten rule is 6 to 8 rings. Nobody answers? Throw in the towel and give it another shot later.
- Our hero being saved just in time by the ole' off screen gunshot by whoever was incapacitated just moments ago.
- When the shockwave of an explosion causes someone's body to be flung backwards, even though in real life if they were close enough to said explosion for that to happen their insides would be destroyed.
- Being able to immediately counter a hard punch to the face with a punch of your own.
- When a henchman finally gets the drop on our hero but instead of shooting him he says "freeze a**hole".
- Getting shot in the shoulder or arm will still give you 90% use out of that arm.
- Anyone can pick handcuffs with a random piece of metal in 20 sec.
- The big squad of agents or soldiers showing up *cocking guns* only after everything's been resolved.
