Tropes/Cliches of a HDTGM movie

Recommended Posts

With just shy of 130 movies done and hundreds more mentioned in the forums, I don't think that there has ever been a compiled list of the tropes and cliches that we expect in our HDTGM movies. So I thought I'd get one started along with any possible references from the movies covered.

 

1. Rollerblading, skateboarding, or any extreme sport performed, preferably in a montage (Hackers, the Fast movies, Punisher: Warzone)

2. Annoying siblings/family members (Teen Witch, Stop or My Mom Will Shoot)

3. Musical numbers (From Justin to Kelly, Teen Witch, Rhinestone)

4. Horrible sex scenes (Color of Night, The Room)

5. Horrible Adaptations (Mortal Kombat, Judge Dredd)

6. Awful Generic Soundtracks (Drive Angry, Sharknado)

 

These are just a few and I know I'm missing so many more but I'm tired and can't think of any other at the moment so please add what other ones that you can think of.

I don't think it should be a surprise that bad movies have similar patterns. Undeveloped story/characters, random elements that make no sense or don't fit all together; my favorite abandoning fantasy for reality or reality for fantasy.

There's this.

Aw thanks. I couldn't remember if there was a thread or not.
