  • Things You Would Never Know Without The Movies




    • When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.
    • If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of year.
    • The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place - no one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building undetected.
    • The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
    • All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they are going to go off.
    • If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition, even if you haven't been carrying any before now.
    • You are very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
    • Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language - a German accent will do.
    • A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
    • When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.
    • If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.
    • Cars that crash will almost always burst into flames.
    • Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.
    • Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.
    • It is not necessary to hello or goodbye when beginning or ending phone conversations.
    • Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.
    • It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.
    • A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
    • It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will patiently attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
    • When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage.
    • No-one ever involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.
    • Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.
    • You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.
    • Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds - unless it's the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside.
    • Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at the precise moment that it is aired.
    How often do you learn things from movies?  What else do you learn from the movies?
