People who get shot are blown backwards by the force of the bullet (.177's .22's, .303's, .5's - makes no difference)...

'Exploding car' syndrome...

Re-writing of history (or historical epics) to make a 'better movie'...

The transposition of movie characters into their historical conterparts (people now think Moses looked like Charlton Heston, whereas he probably looked more like Osama Bin Laden)...

That almost every single gripe mentioned in these pages are in movies made in the USA, England, or Australia. Think of the final gunfight in "Once upon a Time in the West" - Henry Fonda stands stock still, fumbles putting his gun away, and finally crumples to the ground. In "The Transporter" - the only cars to blow up are the ones with bombs in them.
