If the hero has a psychological/phsical problem which has prevented him from effectively dealing with problems, you can rest assured that this problem will disappear at an opportune time.
The hero always misses the villan leaving the scene by seconds.
Stripping to the waist makes the hero invulnerable.
The hero will always be paired off with a female character. The sidekick never will.
The hero's best friend/partner will usually be killed by the bad guys three days before retirement.
The hero's new wife will be mowed down by 80 machine guns right after the wedding or during the honeymoon.
Heroes can go without food or sleep, with no measurable drop in physical or mental faculties, for at least 72 hours.
The hero will always have a small trickle of blood in the right corner of his mouth after a fight. His lip will never be split in the middle, and his upper lip will always be invulnerable. He will wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, then look at it. If his face displays any other injury, it will usually be a small abrasion on his right cheekbone. He will wear a band-aid on this for one day, after which it will be miraculously healed.
The hero will always refuse the assistance of friends or medical personnel after a fight.
If the hero gets into a second fight, his most injured body part will always be punched or kicked.
A hero will show no pain even during the most terrific beating, yet he will wince if a women attempts to clean a facial wound

Bad guys will always get killed by a snake, while the hero simply reaches out and picks it up with his bare hands. (In addition, he will either break the reptile's neck (?) or bite it's head off)
Deadly reptiles will always attack a woman first, even if she's in the presence of thirty men.
Dogs always know who's bad, and bark at them

Whenever someone looks through the binoculars, you see two joined circles instead of one.
Glasses never collect moisture when you come in from the cold outside.
Computer geeks and "intelligent" persons use them, action heros never have glasses.
A villain will always commit murder right in front of the window when someone with binoculars is watching.

People are often exact duplicates of remote ancestors, or of their parent at the same age.
At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil..
Newborn babies can babble, crawl, and hold their heads steady.

People never cough, sneeze, blow their noses, or show any other symptoms of being in less than perfect health.
Only exception to the above is when they're dying. A cough is a symptom of terminal illness.
Menstruation is an unknown phenomenon in movies. Female movie characters are all immune from it.
You can eat as much as you want in a film and you'll never EVER have to go to the bathroom.
Vomit is portrayed by distant toilet flush. Nobody ever throws-up on the carpet.

Movie passengers either don't pay cabs at all, or have the exact change. Same is true in restaurants. Checks are always designed to be 15 percent under the bills the male costumer has in his hands first.
Movie people can get cabs instantly, unless they are in danger, whereupon no cab can be found

Male characters generally are cold-natured. They need to wear jeans and leather jackets when the female characters are comfortable in cutoffs and a halter top.
Heroes are the exception to the above. He often is more comfortable in extreme cold after losing his coat or having the shirt ripped from his back. When this is not true , swimming in ice water helps.
Whenever anyone knocks out anyone else and takes their clothes, it's always a flawless fit.

Word processors never display a cursor.
You never have to use the space-bar when typing long sentences.
Movie character never make typing mistakes.
All monitors display inch-high letters.
High-tech computers, or some such governmental institution, will have easy to understand graphical interfaces.
Those that don't, have incredibly powerful text-bases command shells that can correctly understand and execute commands typed in plain english.
People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data.

Movie elevators are always ready at that floor. But if the hero/heroine is being chased, elevator won't come.
If hero OR villian takes an elevator, villain OR hero can beat it by taking stairs, even if the trip is 20 floors.
Most elevator shafts and wires are clean and dust/grease free, and there's plenty of light so that the hero neither gets dirty nor needs a flashlight or some other equipment to see (Speed).
When one character is pursuing another (good guy after bad or vice versa) and they reach the elevator just before it closes, they never stick their hand in the door so it will automatically open back up, nor do they press the call button to get the door to open.

People never answer the door until the doorbell or knocking has sounded at least three times.
The hero lives in Mumbai working at some okay, but not particularly high-paying job, and yet he or she has a roomy apartment filled with nice stuff, generally with a good view, and sometimes a nice, romantic rooftop to go to.
People never get out of the house when there is obvious danger there (ghosts, murderers).
People who hear something weird outside will go OUT to look, even if they know there's a homicidal maniac on the loose.
When someone's in bed and hears a sound outside, he'll get up and turn the lights on before looking out of a window, even if this usually guarantees that he'll never be able to see anything going on.
When an intruder is in the house, the occupant will snuck along a wall with his back pressed to it tightly and his arms out a bit from his body, palms flat agaisnt the wall.
When there's an intruder somewhere in the house, the thing that jumps at the heroine in the dark turns out to be her cat, even if it comes from places cats wouldn't be, like inside a cupboard! As soon as she relaxes, the killer will show up and strangle her.
