The big knife fight goes to the ground with the good guy on his back grasping the wrists of the villain, who is trying to drive his knife into the neck or heart of the good guy. Grunts, groans, sweat! The knife is ever so close, but wait! The good guy is pushing it away! Most knife fights are over quickly and are more slashing than stabbing - at least until the coup de gras.
I guess your last line is referring to real-life knife fights? Maybe movie knife fight scenes in the clinches (to borrow a boxing term) are actually in slow motion.

Good point, I guess I could have worded it better, maybe knife attack. The knife-wielding villain attacks the good guy and they go to the ground...
...someone gets bit in a vampire/werewolf/zombie movie, and hides the fact from the rest of the group? Cue obligatory "turns into the monster in question at the worst possible time" scene towards the climax where they fully turn and start attacking an expendable member of the group.
People have car windows open for no reason, just so the camera can see the occupant.
"The man from U.N.C.L.E." had many a car without a windshield for exactly that reason. It's fun to see how much everyone has to squint to keep the wind out of their eyes, just like they have to squint during the day for night to keep the sun, I mean the moon, from blinding them.
Good guys escape in a vehicle, can be a car or spaceship, whatever. The villain shoots at said vehicle at point blank range, usually firing off a million rounds, yet good guys manage to escape in their getaway vehicle like it was hit with paint balls.
On the opposite end, good guy fires at a bad guys vehicle and it blows up with one shot!

Cocking the head to one side right before a fight. Is that like cracking the neck or something and what does that do?
I've probably posted this before, but no one ever shows the consequences of being punched in the face (kicked in the face even), there should be big swellings & bruises & maybe a tooth or two missing, but...nothing.

They show a gun pointing at a distant target, but although the angle works on screen for that one camera shot, it would clearly be missing by a mile in real life.
In western movies, when a cowboy takes off his boots and he's not wearing any socks. In reality, that would be very uncomfortable and would probably cause blisters and all manner of other foot ailments.
Someone will see something that amazes them so they reach over to grab another person's head and turn it in the same direction they're looking so that person see's it too. As if the other person next to them wouldn't notice it!
Examples--
Jurassic Park
Alan Grant sees the dinos for the first time and he turns Ellie's head to the left.
Signs
Morgan sees the flattened cornfield in front of him so he reaches and turns his father's head.

Well some folks , like Jacfu wouldn't notice a giant dinosaur if he wasn't alerted.
Baddies going to stab someone (usually the hero in the last fight) by taking the knife in both hands and raising it over their head, and pausing - usually long enough to get shot in the back. Then they more often than not fall away, revealing the shooter.

And I would be hopeful that someone like the Marshal(l) would do me the favor of turning my head just in time.

If it was a Trex I'd run and leave you to fend for yourself
