Women hears someone nearby, decides it must be here boyfriend. So proceeds to flash breasts at the camera and go for a swim naked. Only to come to terms its not her boy friend and dies soon after. (Just shows how many crap horror films that I watch)

This wasn't a complaint...was it?

Yeah, only as I find it far too irrating due to the deaths lacking imagination. Often only included as an excuse to show breasts.

Incredible differences in technology exisitng in the same place.

One of the best examples I can give is He-Man.  Their society is very medieval with knights, swords, magicians, war beasts, and barbarian style warriors, yet they have hovercrafts, star ships, even inter-demensional travel.

If I think about it hard enough, I'm sure I can think of more examples.

At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Beowulf had this technical schizophrenia too. The Christopher Lambert one.


Also let us not forget the:"Oh gosh, I wonder what that noise could be in the middle of the night? I better check it out naked and without any weapon."
Similar to the one that Frogger said, but not the same.

Haha, yeah very true. It is just a very poor excuse to show breasts. It would not be so bad if at least the deaths were interesting but they tend to fall back to screaming, then running in a stupid direction while screaming. Such as too the roof or into a forest. Then they normally end up getting killed with a blade of some type. Normally by the death part I am just glad they wont be screaming any more.

Totally hot woman has dorky looking husband that is only interested in either his business or a hobby. Woman is left on her own when the postman/pizza delivery person/pool cleaner shows up. Hot woman goes over and bluntly starts unzipping his pants. Happens in many many 80's pornos.


Wait! That doesn't happen in real life?

Oh, man, I am soooo done with this B.S. pool cleaning gig.

Hard edged characters that learn to get all warm and fuzzy when with children.
Obviously they hate the kids at first...but they learn to love.

Well, if you're in a position where, for any reason, you think there might be someone (or, bum bum bum, someTHING) out to get you, you probably shouldn't be checking out any noises whatsoever, whether they be racoons or mutant killer racoons from mars.

I should go down there, unarmed, and check it out! Or, if I had any brain in my head... I could book... so that I may go on breathing. 'Cause, y'know, I enjoy breathing. It's a good thing."

That's even more annoying when it's in video games. I played one game where they had created an inter dimensional rift and aliens had come through, BUT, you couldn't wield a gun and a flashlight at the same time. Apparently they could travel through space, but hadn't invented duct tape.
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

Actually...  I've known a couple delivery men.  It's exaggerated in porn, but it really does happen.  Even to some pretty dumpy looking guys.
