Things in films I just don't get

Fight scenes

10 bad guys
1 good guy usually steven segal

The bad guys go at him 1 or maybe 2 at a time, the rest watching on as he fucks them up.

Just rush the pony tailed ponce.

Also after a beating within an inch of their life bruising goes away after a day or two when you actually look like the elephant man for a week at least.

Or Van Damme, or Vin Diesel.....

In a fight scene the pony tailed ponce would fuck them up as I've yet to see him come off worse.
I think everyone gets confused with the swishing of his hair.

The american films wherein the British are made to look like needy little bitches.
Can't think for the life of me what film it is, but the Americans contact the British guys and we're like...
"Well its about time!" Like we couldn't do anything ourselves so we had to hope the godly Americans would save us!

Independance day.

'Its the americans, what are they going to do?'.
Good film but I struggle with it because of that line. Just fook off you pricks!

Ah yes!!
love that film
makes me cringe when that scene comes up though

In the love scenes in films, how come the gent can just roll onto the lady and go straight at it? In reality, he'd prod around aimlessly for a while until the lady loses patience, grabs it and says, "give it 'ere you fucking pissed up idiot".

And THAT speech by the President;

'' Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!''

Sweet jesus!

Why does the English character always talk with a crisp, posh accent?

Except in Frasier, where the gorgeous Mancunian Daphne has a brother with an appalling Dick Van Dyke cockney accent. Unless the writers were being super-subtle in their disgust at the proliferation of rags supporters in the Greater London metropolitan area. If so, fair play.

Back on tack - my biggest bug bear is the number of evil henchmen who all seem to have gone to the Bad Guy School of Shit Shooting. The waste of ammunition is criminal.

Some of our lads (Army blokes) were on an exchange exercise in Texas when that film came out. They went to see it and just couldn't believe the antics of the locals. When the president got in his plane, they were jumping up and down, whoopin' and a hollerin', and shouting 'Go on Mr President'. They actually said it was more entertaining watching the reaction of the audience throughout the film.

And talking of EastEnders,how come there are no fucking rags in it?

Probably because soap opera pubs are the only one's in the country where no one even mentions football for years on end. And then they suddenly decide to start a team up and it turns out they have 15 blokes all living within 20 yards of the boozer who despite having never played before in their lives and having never shown any interest in football whatsoever, all turn out to be shit hot. But then after two games, they disband the team and never mention it, or indeed football ever again.

Although in the early days there was a punky, trampy type who always wore a United shirt. He also never mentioned football though.
