29 things that only happen at the movies
Posted by The Foo in Humor

1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or opposite the building you are visiting.

2. When paying for a taxi, don’t look at your wallet as you take out a note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment it’s aired.

4. Creepy music (or satanic chanting) coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.

5. Any lock can be picked with a credit card or paper clip in seconds. UNLESS it’s the door to a burning building with a child inside.


6. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.

8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German soldiers prefer to speak English to each other.

9. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off. Even while scuba diving.

10. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris.

11. Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned a party). (Caveat: Detectives can only solve a case after they have been suspended from duty).

12. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear.

13. On a police stake-out, the action will only ever take place when food is being consumed and scalding hot coffees are perched precariously on the dashboard.

14. Cars never need fuel.

15. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their predecessor.

16. Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. you will always find another one.

17. Cars will explode instantly when struck by a single bullet.

18. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. Nobody will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.

19. You will survive any battle in any war UNLESS you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

20. A single match is usually sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium.

21. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at once (this is known as Stallone’s Law).

22. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in you room will still be visible, just slightly bluish.

23. Plain or even ugly girls can become movie star pretty simply by removing their glasses and rearranging their hair.

24. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach to armpit level on a woman but only up to the waist of the man lying beside her.

25. Anyone can land a 747 as long as there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

26. You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.

27. In Middle America, all gas station attendants have red handkerchiefs hanging out of their back pockets.

28. Whistling will always get you a taxi cab.

29. Doors can always be opened with a kick of a foot.

Do you know of any more?

    See? Now this is exactly why I hate movies.
  • zee
    The lead actress always wake up looking pretty, AND with her make-up on. Cant we have it in reality??
  • an offshoot of zee's: Everyone has fresh breath in the morning after waking up.

    This list is great, and so true.
  • Having sex will get you killed 9 out of 10 times if there's someone with a mask involved with the movie. The 1 time out of 10 where you are left alive involves Zorro.
  • Cell phones never run out of battery power. Calls never get dropped. Passwords are always words.
  • Stallone's Law, that's my favorite!
  • The girl always falls down when running away from a killer.
  • STUMBLED!

    Good list, #15 always irks me.
  • Sergiu
    Let's not forget. People only go to see black and white movies or classic movies at the cinema:D. Same happens with movies on home TV.
  • Emrah
    * No matter how slow the killer (Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, etc.) moves (and how stupid they are), he can somehow pop right in front of the victim and perform an instant kill.

    * If the protagonist is ever gonna get shot, he/she always gets a shot in one of the least lethal areas, such as the shoulder (99%).

    * Only phosphor coated bullets can blow up gas tanks, and these tanks should not be completely full to contain the explosive vapor.
  • Adam Savage
    25. Anyone can land a 747 as long as there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

    Mythbuster confirmed that this is entirely plausible, in fact they can remotely land the plane from the control tower.
  • Myra
    bloody trails in the middle of nowhere are irrestible to follow even into the creepy basement
  • Ridge
    In horror movies, the superhuman killer (e.g., Jason, Michael Myers, etc...) can kill armed combat trained cops, high school athletes, and all around thugs with ease; but pit him with one timid teenage girl from the suburbs, and he's done for.
  • Hamilton
    when people have breakfast in bed, they never brush, they will start eating without brushing.
  • saskia
    When a person walk on an unsafe surface there is always the point when he / she almost falls .
  • Hamilton
    ( Only in commercials )
    In before and after pictures in commercials, the first picture the person is either frowning or sad, and in the second picture, the person is always smiling
  • When ordering a coffee or often an entire meal, assure that only one mouthful/sip is had before rushing off.
  • Mel
    I always laugh at this one ... they always yell "Freeze Police" or "Freeze FBI" at a person running away -- as if they will stop and surrender.
