When it snows in the city in any film it is white and puffy, and clumps adoringly. (And comes out of a machine)

If it is winter, and in the city, there has to be a Christmas tree buying scene, which will be adorable (together), or dragging (apart).

Policemen in interrogation scenes drink coffee out of styrofoam cups. They do not use their own favourite mug.

When looking through mug shot files, the witness has to go through 8 hours and every book, and only in the last book, on page 350, is the person.

Nobody ever works on the docks. They are always empty, and full of people getting killed.

If the hero goes to see the owner of the bar/restaurant/ he is always in the back room. The hero always has to beat up someone to get into or out of the back room.

The most important witness is always left alone for at least 15 seconds.

In Westerns no one is ever seen putting on or taking off their spurs. They will often get off their horse wearing spurs, and go into the bar with them off, without any time in between.
