Things we Learn from Movies..........
1. Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people--whether they are employed or not.
2. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.
3. Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
4. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.
5. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
6. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.
7. If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.
8. Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.
9. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.
10. All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets that reach the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.
11. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.
12. It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

14. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
15. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German or Russian officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German or Russian accent will do.
16. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
17. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
18. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

21. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.
22. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
23. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
24. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you meet will know all the steps.
25. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.
26. When they are alone, all foreign military officers prefer to speak to each other in English.
27. All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.
28. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.
29. During any police investigation, it is necessary to visit at least one strip club.
30. 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 you want without difficulty.
31. If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition - even if you haven't been carrying any before now.
32. 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.

90% of that is soooo true and I was thinking about the same for ages.
A few more:
38. You don't need Meguiar's if you drive a black "lowered" Pontiac Firechicken. You drive on the beach just to be highly polished once you enter the road again.
39. Cars jumping and flipping over do it always in front of a bush.
40. A-Team wins every gun fight without shooting anyone.
41. L.A. and Baywatch is full off models with DD
42. You can take as many punches into your face as you want. As long you are the good guy, your nose does not bleed.
43. Bruce Willis is a different story, 9 out of 10 movies end with blood all over his face.
44. If the cops need to start a chase, you can be 100% sure the co-driver will have a donut in his mouth and coffee all over his uniform once they take off.
45. Cop cars HAVE TO loose wheel cups in the corners.
46.Any car can land with the front bumper hitting the road but will be 100% ok in the next scene.
47. A bomb can be deactivated only 3 or less seconds before it wents off.
48. You will win the fight only once the $hit has been beaten out of you and you recall the tricks from the master or the death of your partner/family member
49. Rocky can take a long swing for his hooks and hold the other guy with his left hand, cause he is more than willing to wait for the punch.
50. You don't need to eat once your name is Michael Knight.
51.If you are doing 150+ and need to go faster, just downshift.
52. Every pick-up truck in Texas is red.
53. You are retired, but you are the only one who can take this mission. So you do it, even tho' you sweared you don't do this anymore.

Also, there's no need ever to use the mouse. Everything, including graphics, can be done with the keyboard.

Actually, this is not entirely true. You acutally just upshift again. Aparently the 2F2F Cars were modified with 27 speed gear boxes because they JUST KEEP UPSHIFTING over and over again.
54: If a woman is wearing a tight white shirt, she will not be wearing a bra and it will be cold in the room.
55: When jumping off of a building there will always be someting to catch on the way down, or something soft to land on.
56: Men are FAR more interested in a meaningful conversation than sex.
57: You can leave your top down in the worst of neighborhoods, even overnight, and nothing will ever happen to the car.
58: Cop cars all oversteer REALLY bad.
59: Hired mercenaries are the worst marksmen ever, but novice shooters can hit someone in the forehead from 50 feet away with no problem.
60: It is ok to ignore parking tickets.
61: Cracked ribs are no big deal.
