For me it's random sex. It's really annoying when woman get objectified like that.

No, I'm not gay.

Well, I know which cliche I like the most...

I voted for 'horror villain keeps coming back."  It's gotten to the point now where I'm actually pleasantly surprised if the madman/monster is actually dead the first time the heroes kill it.

Random nudity/sex is one of the main reasons I watch b-movies.

I also voted "villain keeps coming back." I actually get angry at the characters if they don't "double-tap" the villain the first time they get him down.

"Okay, this guy just killed all of your friends and your entire family, and you only hit him once with the hammer? Now would be a good time to demolish his entire skull."

My second most annoying cliche would be a cast of "partying teenagers." Let's see... a good girl, her love interest, a jock, his sorority girlfriend, a stoner, and a nerd they all hang out with for some reason. Throw in a rock soundtrack with no licensed groups of interest, add a scenic location, and mix to get yourself half-an-hour of wretched cinema that can safely be thrown out of any film.

I'll throw in "Killing horny teens" while I'm at it then.

Bad one liners. Most of the time they dont make me laugh or even chuckle but make me groan and roll my eyes.

Villains who, rather kill the hero in the moment, make an overdramatic speech to try and look intimidating. Sheesh, you've got the protagonist in a weakened state, just kill the bastard already!

I've got to vote for bad-guy monologuing. The biggest offendor would be "Van Helsing", it gets to the point where the hot-chick protagonists retorst to a vampire: "If your going to kill someone, just do it, don't just talk about it". she's right, the vampire should have killed her :) 

When you reach the end of some films and you find yourself asking what the body count really was since all the bad-guy did was talk about killing people for 90 some odd minutes without doing any real damage.

Spontaineous Romance.

It just gets on my nerves...
Right on brother.  I can't stand when the male and female leads fall in love for no other reason than they're in the same movie together.  The Running Man comes to mind.  Ah-nold and the female lead end up kissing at the end.  Why?  They shared no emotional connection and probably shared about 10 sentences in the whole movie.

I'm tossing in a couple write-votes. 

"Super" kids.

In the old monster movies, it was kids who would sneak onto a miliatry base or something because they wanted to help.  Never got punished.  Heck the kid in 20 million miles to Earth even gets rewarded despite the fact he stole the container with the Ymir and was somewhat responsible for the creature going on a rampage.

Then there where the ghost children from The Ring or The Grudge  Neither movie was that scary, but even one was saying how much scarier the Ring Girl was from Jason Voorhees or Freddy Kruger.

Which leads me to my other write in:  Whispering for no reason. Again in some horror movies.  You'll have characters talking under their breath which makes me turn up the volume. 

"Let's talk out that humor".  Something disgusting/violent/out of the ordinary happens and the characters seem to what to stop the story and discuss what just happened.  I get it.  Move on.  Couple of scenes in Land of the Lost remake fall into that category.

For the most part..I'm fine with everything that was mentioned on the list.

Yes, but could one forget that memorable romances of the animated Titanic movies?  One movies has the character's meeting twice and the other has characters sharing only one dance and one look.  Such a look must mean love!

The second annoying cliche to me, but the worst offense is the villian who won't stay dead.  It really gets annoying after a while, force offense to me being Anaconda.  It takes at least 3 times to kill this snake, including being shot, axed, exploded, and set ablaze.  What are anacondas made of?!

I always seen that as a second anaconda showing up.  Yes it survies some horrible stuff, but the one that gets shot earlier died, and a new one was lurking around.

Yeah, you are probably right about a second snake, but it is sort of confusing; especially when you have a title called Anaconda and not Anacondas.  Still, this cliche still applies since the second snake survived an explosion of all things.  How can it survive an explosion?  Explosions kill everything!
