...a helicopter suddenly appears over the edge of a building, or treeline, or ridge, and only makes audible noise when it becomes visible to the lead character(s). In reality you can hear a helicopter when it's still MILES away. But then if that happened in movies, there'd be no surprise, right? 
Good one.
Or, should i say 'bad' one!

Probably been mentioned but saw it twice in The Alienist: a suspect who the heroes are after doesn't know he is being followed and the hero shouts "STOP!" from about 20 yards away, alerting the previously unwitting perp, who then flees and loses them in a foot-chase. The hero then stands on a street corner or somesuch, spins around once not really doing an effective job of looking about and says "damn" or something and walks off.
OH. MY. GOD. DAMN.
This. Soooooo this.

Villains who are misunderstood because someone wasn't nice to them earlier in life.
Disney has been doing a lot of this shit lately...who wants to see Emma Stone as a young Cruella De Vil before she started wanting to skin puppies? What happened to fun villains you loved to hate?
I also don't like it because it sort of creates sympathy for the villain and "justification" for their turn to evil. Such causation isn't absolute. Some kids are bullied and grow up bullies, some kids are bullied and grow up kind and empathetic.
Absolutely agree. Understanding the motivations of a villain CAN under some circumstances be very interesting and add a dimension to the character, but very often it's done on a very simplified level. A hurt B, so B is now hurting everybody else, or something like that. And yes, it seems to create justification, as if it's only a logical consequence to turn serial killer after you've been bullied. No, it is not.
Some villains are best allowed to be just evil.
It's mainly pop-psychological shorthand for Hollywood saying, "See? We got dimensions for dat azz!". Most pure villains are hard to convey interestingly, so shorthand it is. I'm sure 2019's Skeletor will have "tried to save Prince Adam from some face melting beam, but loses his beauteous face in the process, so if he can't be purty, NO ONE CAN! HA HA HA HEE HEE HEE HI HI HI HO HO HO HUU HUU HUU and sometimes HY!"

This could be an original. I was looking at a TV drama last night, & this guy was really ill, coughing away, he leans over a white sink &...coughs up blood, shock! That got me thinking, whenever someone coughs up blood, it's nearly always into a white sink, obvious to see why, but it has become a cliché.
I call it Soap Opera Cough. Where a slight cough signals definite death later on, possibly within a few scenes.
