I'll take this a step further and say any time a character is told to stay in the car, no more than five minutes later that would be the last place you'd find them. It doesn't matter if you handcuff them to the steering wheel, lock them in the trunk, or shoot them in the head and the heart and verify they're dead afterward, they'll still show up where they shouldn't be just in time to screw everything up.

And usually doing so by accident. :lol
Bad guy steals the macguffin (a vial, or artifact) and stuffs it into a transport case of some sort that's custom built to accept an item of those exact dimensions or a Zero Halliburton case with perfect foam cutouts that fit the item perfectly. How do they know in advance the exact dimensions of the item?

Yeah, 3 days later, all is good in the world.
Literally.
At least, that's what I've been told...
Guy armed with a minigun. I don't mind the ridiculous weapon. It's just the fact that, with all the destruction, they never seem to kill a single person - even after 20,000 rounds. They only manage to destroy property. Just once I'd like to see someone weilding a minigun actually manage to kill someone.

How about the fact you never see any ammo storage for said weapon? In Predator, that was a aviation ammo box that Ventura was carrying around, which would have stored maybe 5 seconds of sustained fire. In "Hardcore Harry," there simply wasn't any ammo chute at all that I could see.
Also, miniguns are crazy heavy (I know as I had to quickly yank one off it's mount on a SOCOM Chinook once, a long story there) but people run around with them like they're as light as an M-16...

A 5.56 mini-gun doesn't seem to be too bad, I've seen a YouTube video of a guy hip firing one, but he couldn't get more than a short burst off before the recoil threw him completely off target. Of course, it was just like in the movies and the guy was just standing there with it and not walking around carrying it, the ammo, and the power supply around on him. Which reminds me, in T2, where was the ammo for the one that Arnie was using? I don't seem to recall seeing anything but the gun itself, no battery and no ammo.

I thought I'd read somewhere that the minigun from T2 was the very same one from predator? I have no idea if that's right, though..
Sucker ain't light. I know that from personal experience, when I was filled with adrenalin and in much better shape than I am today. Darn thing weighed quite a bit.
Find someone who'll let you pick up one on its mount with power supply, feed trays and the like (just for laughs, make sure the feed belts are loaded with dummy or blank rounds).

I'm not saying that it is, but maybe the one you had was a 7.62 version. Either way, in the video I saw the guy was handling it without too much problem and he's not that big of a guy, not scrawny mind you but no Jesse Ventura or Arnie either. And, as I also said, he was only standing there with it and not walking around and firing it, just in place like you see in the movies. It's also worth noting that this was specifically a hand held model so it's probably not as robust or heavy as a military grade aircraft mounted model.

How about scenes at a prom where everyone can dance? I think people forget how stiff-kneed teens at a prom really can be, or for that matter how few even dance at all as so many are indulging their teen drama for the entire event...
I love what the guy says around 0:32 in this clip:

There's got to be a better way to carry that thing. If you're going to go through the trouble of making one of these you might as well figure out a less awkward way to carry it. Maybe a steadicam harness? That would be cool.
