Didja ever notice…
If a character uses martial arts rather than a weapon, his opponents will always face him one-to-one. Spare bad guys may dance around the fight taunting our hero, but none will engage until his predecessor has been disposed of. And if it’s an oriental martial arts film, they will fight in perfect one-two rhythm and form, hit-block-hit-block.
or,
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.
Such are the cliches of the movies.
Coughing is DEADLY in flicks. If someone coughs, it means they will be dead within minutes from some dread disease.
Yes, films are full of cliches. But that doesn’t stop us from watching them by the millions.
Enjoy today’s cliche-laden FamilyFirst pick.
