...a group of men is about to go off on some adventure/mission/quest, and a young boy or teenager asks to come along, gets rebuffed, and shows up later following the group, usually eliciting the line "I thought I told you to stay at home!"  You KNOW the kid is going to show up later, so why the pretense? See 10,000 BC, the remakes of King Kong and 3:10 To Yuma, ect.
a corollary to that is the cop who is "too close to the case" (a friend was killed etc)
his boss tells him to get some rest, take time off etc.
but , you know he is going to stay on the case
even x-files is guilty of this canard

The deadly sniper takes slow aim at the hero, he has the big telescopic lens, killing is his business, he's the best...& he always misses.
even worse - he has the victim in his sights but doesn't shoot right away.
instead he waits until some pedestrian walks in front of him causing him to lose the moment.
even X-FILES is guilty of this one

Yes he does that in The Day Of The Jackal. He has DeGaulle's head in the cross hairs...& waits too long, but that's the only fault I can find with this film.
yeah JACKAL is the perfect example BUT it is also dramatically justified because we know DeGaulle was NOT killed!

In horror films, the car does not start for the hero or heroine or soon to be victim.,after someone stops in a chase scene, there is no sweat on the guy or girl.Some drunk or fool will be the first victim of a monster or villian.A woman faints,how often in life does a woman actually faint?In a karate film, the hero can take care of ten guys at once, yeah right.In disaster films they have to make a total soap opera out of the main characters.you just know in certain films a certain person in a film is just not going to die, no matter how often they are in peril, for once couldn't James Bond die at the end, then in the next film have a SCIFi plot and revive him, yeah i know Ian Fleming never wrote that scenerio.the ugly guy usually die first., i am sure we all could list a thousand more, great topic Thor.

When the muscle-bound hero is fighting about twenty guys, they all take turns to line up so as to make their defeat easier.
And, regarding fighting, when people are slugging it out, they always exchange about a dozen blows to the chin or the stomach, but always keep on fighting, maybe just pausing to wipe a trickle of blood off the face. Has anyone actually been hit in the face or punched in the stomach in real life? Maybe I'm a wimp, but that's the end of the fight for me.
