Things you're tired of seeing in movies

[AJK001]

How about the one (Steven Seagall was infamous for this one) where the main character just happens to be a former Special Forces Operative that became a cop/ demolitions expert/ cook/ bodyguard/ gardener/ whatever?

I actually used to like his movies until he became a parody of himself.

Hey! I know how to make a microwave bomb because of Under Siege! My VHS copy was used from the video store, so I have no clue what happens for about 5 mins after the girl gets in the cake, because of static, but otherwise good movie.

I thought it was when Tommy Lee Jones went flying across the deck after Seagall shot the 16 inch gun at Garey Busey's submarine...

Nah, I prefer my scene. Watch it and you'll know why

I know why, but it isn't family friendly!

That's why I didn't post the youtube video here

There's an anecdote on IMDB about VHS rental shops of the time having to continually replace tapes of Under Siege because they kept getting worn out in a certain spot ...

Something seemed horribly unnatural about that film. Maybe it was just the acting.

Well it's Steven Seagal... And Gary Busey acting crazy.
No amount of boobs or Tommy Lee Joneses could help. And when you consider this to be one of Seagal's best movies, then you realize what movies he's doing now are on another level of low

Low? I think that his movies are qualified as being "Underground", "Below surface"...submarine like

That wasn't on my VHS! My dad let me watch it before on cable, so I liked the movie already. I would have been 15, so yeah that was my fav scene. When I got the VHS it was just a snowstorm.

Maybe this should be in a new thread titled "Things I loved seeing in Movies".

Maybe this should be in a new thread titled "Things I loved seeing in Movies".

Or "How many times I rewinded that scene"

Or in jkno's case: How Many Copies of VHS Cassettes I Wore Out. :rofl:

Something that came to me watching Uncharted last night is parkour seems to becoming really popular in TV/movies and it's getting really annoying because, most of the time, it's totally unnecessary and clearly being done just because the directors think it's cool. The 2 most egregious examples so far have been Reva in Kenobi where she's vaulting over things she could more easily run around or jump on or over. The other is Prey where Naru seems to go out of her way to do a little kick jump off every nearby tree. It's like, what did all that accomplish except to waste time and energy?

The two best uses of parkour ever committed to film..

The one thing I always remember when watching that Daniel Craig scene is when Rifftrax did it, the part where he crashes through the drywall. "Bond Smash!"

I can't recall the other movie where this happened, but I was watching that Day Shift movie (not bad) and Jamie Foxx's character is in an apartment with a big picture window out front near his door. So he goes in and has around six deadbolts and various other locks on the door. So those locks are completely useless if someone just smashes that huge window...

May as well just paint a target on the window and put a sign "smash here".
