Ridiculous things in films

Die hard two when Maclean is having a fight on the wing of a plane and the guy gets sucked into one engine and yet the engine is perfectly fine. Even a bird hit screws up a jet engine.

The fuel leaking from the plane is spraying everywhere but miraculously when he lights it it forms a perfect line in the snow.

Things blowing up in any film. Like a small car crash and it blows up like the car had been loaded with Semtex.

Car explosions are normally a gallon of gasolene in the front seat

Deep Blue Sea where the shark roars. Underwater. A shark. FFS

Deep Blue Sea has about 90 minutes of stupid things that Sharks don't do. Im pretty sure the writers and directors weren't shooting for realism in a movie about brainy sharks
 
Cowboy films where the guy with a pistol wins against a guy with a rifle. In real life, at any decent range, the guy with the rifle wins every time. That's why armies tend to have rifles, not pistols.

Repeater fire arms before they were invented. For example, in the American Civil War, nearly all the guns used were single shot.

Just finished watching the frankly piss poor "Captain America" with my lad.

There was a scene in it with a plane loaded with bombs and each of the bombs had its destination "New York", "Chicago" painted ornately along the side, so as to alert anyone as to the nature of the plot they had uncovered and it reminded me about how ridiculous I have always found the use of a timer on any explosive device in a film - I mean why would you alert any potential saboteur as to how long they had to detonate your device?

Are there any other ridiculous and wholly unrealistic things in films that annoy others as much as this annoys me?

Oh no! Captain America isn't real?
 
Peter Griffin trying to ge this new couch on the Millenium Falcon was just ridiculous. He could easily have got it through the cargo bay door if he'd simply up-ended the thing and 'walked' it in. All that pissing about just so the stormtroopers could get a few shots off ruined it for me.
 
I haven't read all the thread so sorry if already said.

In any nightclub on tv or a film, the music is so quiet that you can talk to someone in a normal voice from across a table.

Hmmm, not sure you picked up the drift of this thread, but then in a roundabout way, you make a pertinent post!
