I was inspired by Buffmaster's thread so I decided to start one of my own.

Heroes being attacked by one thug at a time instead of by groups.

Non-prodigy kids who are smarter than parents - especially when dealing with social maturity. Worse when there is a whole family full of them.

Gorgeous women who apparently can not attract men.

Amen, Adtz.

I am sick and tired of seeing drop-dead gorgeous women complaining about not meeting good guys.

Ladies, good guys are out there. We're out there! We don't all drive Ferarris and look like Brad Pitt but we're out there.

I think (therefore I could be wrong) that guys can only be shot down so many times before they give up.

Ladies, try going to a scifi or comicon. Go to a library. Keep looking for a good (note I didn't say perfect) guy and you'll find him.

The guy that comes back from the past (beginning of the movie) that has no other point in the movie than to come back some years later to be her "perfect" man.

Probably not a cliche --but why when the good guys kill the bad guys do they not pick up or stock up on the more sofisticated weaponry etc??

They always leave it there -- If I had a .45 and I killed a badguy carrying grenades, a RPG and an an automatic rifle- I'm taking it with OR the good guys kill the aliens and leave the staff weapons and fazers laying with the dead bodies... ummm bullets over plasma, phase weapons WHO YA GOT?

Gotta love the usually big breasted, usually blonde female that runs UP stairs to "get away" from the killer.
