Saw this on money saving expert and thought I would share, apologies if it's a repost
Things you would never know if it weren't for the movies...
Large, loft apartments in New York City are plentiful and affordable, even if the tenants are unemployed.
One of a pair of identical twins is evil.
Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry about which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
It doesn't matter if you are greatly outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts. Your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one... dancing around in a threatening manner until you have dispatched their predecessors.
When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible but slightly blue.
If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to be a world-famous expert on nuclear fission, dinosaurs, hieroglyphics, or anything else, at the age of 22.
Honest and hard-working policemen are usually gunned down a day or two before retirement.
Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies using complex machinery involving fuses, deadly gasses, lasers, buzz saws and hungry sharks, all of which will give their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.

It's easy to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.
If you are beautiful, your makeup never rubs off, even while scuba-diving or fighting aliens. However if you are overweight, your mascara will run and your lipstick will smear.
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 without difficulty.
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.
Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it is not necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.
A man will show no pain while taking the most horrific beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
If staying in a haunted house, women must investigate any strange noises in their most diaphanous underwear, which is what they happened to be wearing when the car broke down.
If someone says "I'll be right back", they won't.
Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel from time to time.
All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
A police detective can only solve a case after he has been suspended from duty.
If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone around you will be able to mirror all the steps you come up with, and hear the music in your head.

I concur, very amusing. As Homer Simpson once said: "It's funny because it's true".
Don't forget:
Every elevator in the US has a roof-mounted escape hatch large enough for a fully armed 6' 6" man to climb through effortlessly.

"I looked with pity not untinged with scorn upon these trivial-minded passers-by"

Also:
When being chased by Mad Dogs/Aliens/Chainsaw Nutters your car, which has always performed perfectly and in fact was fine when you used it to get to the murder scene, will, on this one occasion, fail to start.
It is a dead cert that, whilst climbing a ladder immediately prior to encountering an armed opponent, you will drop your gun.
You will need to bring a book to read to avoid getting bored whilst the arch enemy pointing a gun at you launches into a lengthy and vainglorious monologue.
Try working that phrase into every conversation for the rest of the day :DOriginally Posted by dowsing

Menno
If you're the sidekick of a "maverick cop" you'll be dead before the end of the film!
after a weird phoneCall you stare at the horn. And when your gun is empty you throw it at the bad guy like you're a toddler throwing his first ball. Your shoelaces are never loose. Teachers always wear jackets with elbow patches.
Spacecraft need wings in order to manoeuvre properly at speed in the vacuum of space.
Brilliant, seen some of them before but still brought a smile :)

Every American military unit has a soldier named "Kowalski".

Crashing cars always explode in massive fireballs.
Whenever it rains it buckets it down, monsoon style.
Anyone with an English accent is snooty, evil, German or gay.
If the bad guys/aliens need to destroy a city they always start with under-policed places like New York.
Meteorites always fall in the USA first. Usually the North Eastern coast.
There is always room to sit at the counter in a bar. You always get the bartenders attention very quickly. When you've finsished you never need to ask the price and the bartender is always happy if you toss him a random note.
Oh, and one last thing...
Ambition, especially in younger people, always equals evil, only lazy, listless bums who seem to have no direction in life are honest and/or care about the world.
If there's a fire all the sprinklers in the building go off... (I work in the fire protection industry and this gets my goat everytime!!)
