Movie flaws that Grind your Gears?

[Knobgoblin]

I can't stand Tim Roth. They always make him out liek he is a superhero. There was one movie where he was an old little dude but somehow could beat the crap out of everybody. It was laughably bad. It's not that he is a bad actor. It's more how he is cast I guess.

They cast him perfectly in Rob Roy.

Is called marketing hook

Edit. They never differentiate between "female full frontal" or "random dude's butt" or "implied" nudity

Clearly they should. I feel cheated.

Similar, in John wick 3 when the non binary, bisexual adjudicator woman-man thing looks at the previous movie bad guy's dead body, it's determined he was shot in the head by a .45 ACP.

How could one determine that just looking at a hole?

Impossible to know this for anything other than a 9mm. The lungs will be missing in that case.

Lunchbox (I used to have this!) With a RPG on a M60 View attachment 1873884

Didn't he light off an RPG from inside a car or helicopter one time? Oh, here it is.

Or makes a pavement screeching sound on a gravel road.

This! That's one of my earliest gripes. That and cars flipping over the car they just hit, with no damage to the now visible undercarriage. Although that one's probably been mentioned already.

Conveniently located ramp trucks with convenient ramps fully extended. Not once do they show a more realistic situation of trying to "jump" a flatbed and resultant failing.

Oh and somehow jumping curb and bridge fence with nary a scratch (Transporter)

I want one of those 9mm's that when you shoot a Caddy in the grill the hood blows clean off and the motor locks up.

That's a 40mm.

watching Lonesome Dove as Gus & Pea ride thru the wilderness of Montana and in the distance I see a power line pole with a transformer attached to it.
