Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I have noticed it a lot lately: a person hit with a tranquilizer dart, sedative, or other drug meant to knock someone out becomes instantly unconscious as soon as the needle hits. This happened recently in iZombie and pretty much every episode of Dexter.

And the dosage of knockout drugs used is always tailored just right for the specific target's body weight, blood type and potential allergies, because they never show any lingering side effects once they wake up...they'll just shake their head for a few seconds, walk around on wobbly feet for a few steps, and then go on like nothing at all has happened. Also applies for people getting choked out until they lose consciousness, or getting hit on the head. You never see someone nursing a raging headache for the rest of the movie, or suffering brain damage.

I might have already mentioned this, but attractive actresses playing the part of an average or below average looking girl who has no luck getting a guy or date.
Yup, Hollywood's version of the average girl, Michelle Pfeiffer wearing granny specs & wearing her hair in a bun.
SON OF THE BEACH did a great take down of this trope!

"I'm tired of running" "I'm done running". Usually followed by the character saying "go, go" to the hero before needlessly sacrificing themselves. Rogue One had it as the most recent example I can think of.

... the movie doesn't start right away.
Why do we have to sit through pre-drivel logos and testaments about the film (ie: a Bird's Egg Production, associated with Flaming Arse Enterprises Inc., in league with Blackeye Films with participation by the National Association of Buttheads, etc).
Don't they realize that we could give a shite!
Put it at the arse end of the film where it belongs.
Oh, I disagree completely. Particularly in today's times, when there are not even opening credits anymore. People still talk when the movie begins, because many don't REALIZE the movie begins. These opening logos are at least an indicator that the movie is finally about to begin. (And actually, I do care about such things. :-)
It would probably be two to five minutes into any movie until people would realize that the movie started and stop talking if it were not for some clear indicators.
In fact, quite often I have wondered while watching a movie who did the cinematography or who produced it (I usually know who scored it) for some reason, but had to wait until the end credits rolled. In the days when movies still had opening credits, such questions were cleared up front and I could concentrate on the movie proper. :-)
