Hurricanes pop up out of nowhere.
The Little Mermaid
Karate Kid Pt 2
Jurassic Park
Well, where else would they pop out of? Just sayin', as I am in the midst of one (called Sabine) this very moment. :-)

Whenever a credit card transaction is lingered on in a movie or TV show, it means the hero will be told that his or her funds are insufficient - much to the hero's complete befuddlement.

In war films, the heroes are under siege from superior numbers of germans or whatever, but when one of the heroes gets hit and needs a quiet moment for a dying hug or a few last words or to hand over a letter to his wife at home, the enemy is always kind enough to stop firing and do nothing for a few minutes...

Annoying voice overs or off-screen narrators/narration that contribute nothing to the film.
Happens often in war movies. In Tora, Tora, Tora, when the battleships are being attacked, on one the sailors are running all about the deck fighting fires, etc., and a voice blasts over the pa system (sounds like Lyle Wagoner): "Man your stations!" The voice then drops a couple of octaves and repeats "Man your stations!" as if his inflection wasn't manly enough the first time.
In Midway 1976, when Thatch's fighters are dogfighting the Japanese "Zeroes", one guy is doing something like play-by-play: "Nice going, Manson! Pull out, Tom, pull out!" - on and on he goes. I'm thinking, "How is this guy flying his Wildcat, fighting off Zeroes and talking non-stop the whole freakin' time?!?"

Any moment of quiet introspection is buried under an avalanche of added ADR or wacky sound cues, instead of allowing James Horner's eloquent score to speak for the film.
