The ablility that all heroes have - to be able to be beaten to a pulp and still drag themselves to the switch that will blow themselves and the monster right next to them up.

Also: "Go on without me", *dramatic, emotional pause* "GO, NOW!" *characters run off*

"Don't ever try to do it.
Don't ever think of it.
Don't you dare to do it."


Those all end up in some kind of shitty movie.

When you jump into the scene in the middle of someone telling something funny and you only hear the punchline, which has completely no meaning because it's out of context.

"... so I told him 'That doesn't sound like a gentleman'" And then everybody lols.

A great cliché is the one where there's a wise men that can always explain everything.
Or warns about something and none believes him.

And when they are going to ask him more things, he's dead.

Superhero movies where the hero has the the ability to disappear when the person talking to them looks away for a half a second.

Okay, hero/vigilante movies.

Anyway, in movies, people driving vehicles, especially trucks, never seem to have an idea of what's going on in front of them. Which usually leads to people getting hit or important objects getting ran over. Even if someone's standing in the road in the same spot for 10 minutes. And the drivers always honk before they run over someone. Most people, in real life, won't even run over a box in the road.

I guess that scream is so popular because it's such a unitone scream, it really sounds fitting no matter who's dubbed with it.
