Important survival lessons from the movies

Always listen to the old man when he says that something exists that will kill us all, ( Various horror movies)
 
If the villain tells you of his plans, you WILL get away no matter how hopeless the situation.;)
ALL comets and meteorites always head towards earth....before being destroyed by a nuclear bomb.
Never worry about parking in front of a building, flash the script and someone WILL move out.
 
- Any man with a scar is evil
 
Very surprised these aren't here yet!!

In Star Trek -- Never Ever Wear a RED shirt

In war movies, never fly off after the easy kill or never be in the plane with the rest of the rookies

In teen slasher movies, never take your shirt off

If a shark ate someone already, stay out of the water

and to quote Ripley from Alien 4, when asked "What did you do last time you faced these creatures?"

"I died"
 
-- dont buy stuff from acme products

-- Road Runner And Wile E. Coyote
 
1. if you are a bad guy never go into a building - run up several flights of stairs and trap yourself on a roof (lots of movies)

2. buy a cop car - they can out run (or at least keep up with) any other car ever made (any movie with a cop car chase)

3. don't own a fruit and veg stall as it will be crashed into during 2 above
 
If you are female and are being chased through anywhere by anything LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING! Try not to twist your ankle after running 5 paces or so, it will save you a lot of hassle, and save us a tired cliche.
 
if you are an evil character, when you set a bomb, dont get close to it and cover your ears






RUN THE HELL AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
if you are an extremelly hot girl, dont worry, theres a guy going to rescue you no matter what
 
If you are an attractive male and your coworker/mild aquaintance is an attractive female, you WILL end up falling in love, no matter how much you might hate each other at the begining.
 
If you are a coward who has betrayed your friends in the hope of saving yourself, you will die a gruesome death.
 
Don't wet small furry creatures or feed them after midnight (Gremlins)

Watch out for side effects if you drink liquids made in a scientific laboratory. They could turn you into a monster, evil etc (spiderman, Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde, Hollow Man to name a few)

If you're a sherriff in a town where a group of bandits or outlaws are soon to arrive, make sure you take off your badge so they won't know who the sherriff is, or even better give your badge to the stupid deputy. He'll get killed while you can take out the entire outlaw posse.
 
Little girls who wear glasses in moves always tell the truth, little boys always lie.

The 'medicine men' in places like kenya always have some sort of herb that cures an illness. they are master doctors!
 
The spy who is trying to out the mole is usually the mole themselves.

Helicopters can be shot down with a single strategic shot to the right place.

Also, if a guy and a hot woman are running away, remember that you will run much faster if the guy grabs the woman's arm, or puts his arm around her. And when they both fall down the hillside, they will end up on top of each other, arms around each other, and both will fall in love, but just before they are about to kiss, gunshots will hit the ground close to them.
 
- Stay together in creepy forests.

- Don't throw maps into rivers, for God's sake!

- Better yet, just don't see the Blair Witch Project, ever.

:p Worst. Movie. Evar. :mischief:
 
If you managed to kill a presumably supernatural serial killer don't think he's dead. He'll get up again so better slice him into pieces and burn the pieces afterwards.
Watch out for flying ashes!
 
1. DONT throw away your gun when you think that someone is dead, and that you think you dont need the ammo just empty the rest of the bullets into the 'dead corpse'
