Im working on a list of movie cliches...here'w what ive come up with so far...
Doctor Davis works in every hospital in america and is contantly getting phone calls.
The nurse that pages Doctor Davis also works in every hospital in america...maybe they are married
Every opening and closing gate makes the exact same screeching sound.
Every Jungle scene has the exact same animal sounds
Movie villains always take time to deliver a monologue before taking any action against the hero
The Hero always has the courtesy to allow the villain to finish said monologue
Movie explosions always have an impressive firebal despite the fact that there is nothing combustable in said exlosion....note..explosion and combustion are 2 different concepts entirely
A priest in a movie is always smoking a cigarete or having a shot of whiskey
People in movies can always shoot at each other indefinately withou stoping to reload
Any event that is exciting or dramatic must be accentuated with as much profanity as possible

If the movie is American, the good guy ALWAYS win, even if he does not in the original story.
Also USA is always the hero in any war movie and they always save the entire planet from impending doom.

The hero of a movie (apart from disney movies) is always confident, and moves with ease, his sidekick however normally is clumsy in all ways,

The bad guys can fire 10 shots and not hit any person, but he has no problem hitting other objects he might aim for

Bombs that are to go off in ten seconds go off in 30 seconds or more. People are never wounded by debris, despite of the shockwave always hitting them.

People in movies can be repeatedly punched in the face with no adverse efects.

Every bag of groceries in movie universe has a loaf of French bread in it.

Adding to Dude653's last post: Guys slugging each other in the face will NEVER result in a bloody nose. But they will each receive a neat little cut above an eye.

A 10 foot long whip can knock a gun out of someone's hand even if they're 20 feet away.

It's easy and perfectly safe to jump through windows.

If someone feels like crying it will start raining,

Bullets will ricochet off of any metal object that a good guy is behind, even if it's sheet metal.

In western movies any person on a ledge that is being shot will fall down, even through solid barriers

Sorry, but some of the things mentioned remind me of this:
 Being an Evil Overlord seems to be a good career choice. It pays well, there are all sorts of perks and you can set your own hours. However every Evil Overlord I've read about in books or seen in movies invariably gets overthrown and destroyed in the end. I've noticed that no matter whether they are barbarian lords, deranged wizards, mad scientists or alien invaders, they always seem to make the same basic mistakes every single time. With that in mind, allow me to present...

The Top 100 Things I'd Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord



  1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
  2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
  3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
  4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
  5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
the whole thing is pretty hilarious. I found it years ago, and am so gald the page is still up! if you like, see it here:
Peter's Evil Overlord List

cheers! and keep going.

Also, Mrs. Evil Overlord, when you have the drop on the good guy, just shoot him instead of rambling on and on about your plans. Something bad WILL happen.

She has these 300 some odd things almost memorized. lol
I'm just glad to be on her " trusted lieutenants" list. :)

It's a fun site for when you have time and want a good chuckle.

I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know." Ahah, I got the link open now. :)

I feel as real followers of Christ, we should abstain from the idolitry America holds dear to thier hearts, its sad to see so many professing Christians, who know more abnout thier favorite TV shows, or movie than the word of God, I should know that was me.

Let us all not be conformed to this world, or let it distract us from the prize of eternal life!

Rom 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God!

1Jn 2:15 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
1Jn 2:16 because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides forever.
