Because tires are a more difficult target? And presumably safety glass is cheaper and safer than having tires blow out? And because shooting out the windshield you're more likely to hit the person or at least make the person flinch?
I think you have beaten him down pretty well, Mastadge.
show some mercy.
lol!

When someone gets injured or murdered we are made to believe it's not obvious. Like when someone gets stabbed, shot, or hit in the head, the victim stands still motionless for seconds with no sign of injury, then the blood slowly drips from their chest or head.
Oh yes, the slow fall, very effective...& then there's the dying speech, they always have enough strength to deliver it, & without crying out in any sort of pain. I like the Hollywood fatal illness, the women never look rough or ill, or have to keep running to the loo, they just look a bit wan & fade away...& usually looking still quite shaggable!
Sorry if some of this has been mentioned before, but there's a lot of pages to go through now!

You've seen this one no doubt....(most recently seen on THE 4400)
A kidnapper puts the victim on the phone to tell his parents "i am alright, Ma".
Or, he sends a tape recording.
So, some sound wizard puts the recording thru a filter and isolates some sounds
e.g. a train whistle or a fog horn.
From that, the cops are able to determine the exact location of the kidnapper.
gimme a break!!!!

I agree

this was done ONE TIME where it worked:
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
Cheyenne... the finale
'nuff said!

A couple of years ago, when I was hooked on "The Young And The Restless," it used to really annoy me when Victor Newman, this big business billionaire, would pull out his cell phone and punch in 7 or 10 numbers to call his personal lawyer, who SHOULD have been on speed dial. Don't billionaires have their lawyers on speed dial?
And I hate it when a character gives a phone number and there's the usual fake 555 -- often they could have pulled away so we can't hear the number being given. For me, it throws a wrench into the old suspension of disbelief!

...two characters are struggling in some sort of fast-moving vehicle (car, plane, boat, what have you), and the driver/pilot gets killed or incapacitated, and instead of doing the sensible thing of trying to stop the vehicle that's now careening wildly out of control, they continue to whale the tar out of each other, completely ignoring the obvious and immediate danger they're in. Scene always ends the exact same way...the hero notices said vehicle is about to plow into a stationary object at a high rate of speed, gives the villain one last sock in the jaw for good measure, and bails out at the last second (never being seriously injured, despite jumping out of a car/plane/boat going about a hundred miles per hour), while the villain just sits there and screams fruitlessly until the vehicle in question collides with the object and erupts in a giant fireball.

A character, 99% of the time a woman, is being chased by the bad guy/monster.
She picks up a gun or something to use as a weapon, uses it to some good effect, then tosses it away only to run but eventually be caught.
If you find a weapon, keep it. Toss it only if you find a better weapon.
