When watching crime shows, I hate whenever they're looking at a crime scene and then someone immediately spots a glitter flake on the ceiling fan which ties everything back to Sally Marshall who happens to be dating Rob Johnson, the mass murderer.
Ridiculous.

I know this is supposed to be about movies, but we have mentioned some tv shows.
CSI Miami- while I enjoy the show, I find it really lame that Calleigh always shows up to a scene in like a $500 dollar outfit. She is usually wearing an amazing suit and some kick ass heels/boots. I'm sorry, I may not be a crime scene investigator, but I have seen the news and I have never seen them show up wearing those nice clothes that Calleigh wears.

We watch NCIS and look for the innacuracies as they depict Washington, DC and suburbs, the setting for the show. My favorite was when they went out Wisconsin Ave. and ended up at a farm, looked more like a ranch in CA to me-mountains in the background, kind of dusty/dry vegetation, was expecting Roy Rogers to show up... Hard to get to a farm on Wisconsin Avenue, since it is a major thoroughfare, let alone one with mountains in the background. Then they zip out to a suburb, and man, that suburb looks nothing like the real thing. Or they go to places like malls that don't exist, or confer with local police departments that don't exist either.

People getting shot and not being affected by it.

When guns keep shooting without reloading or when they are like twenty feet apart and they keep missing even though it is the showdown between the top two supposed badasses of the picture.

This!
Seriously, you have a machine gun or .357 you carry around like a bad a$$ and yet you can't hit the enemy coming at you from 20 feet away? I don't care if it's a moving target, I'm pretty sure I could still hit it at 20 feet.

When somebody hacks, they always speak their commands. That really annoys me.
Also, when they managed to hacked into the system, it says access granted. Ok, dat wuz the computer geek in me.

So true with NCIS! The dusty terrain is very California and definitly not anywhere in the DMV area.

Why is it in movies where there are army men/women of some kind, they have no problems "disobeying orders" from the "higher ups" to follow their commander and possibly get in trouble? LOL.
I thought of this while watching GI Joe (I know not realistic in any sense of the word). But it was the scene where Dennis Quaid is telling all the Joe's that Alpha team has been ordered back to their 'respective' countries, so hence they are supposed to leave as well. But he is like "we have one last mission and I understand if you want to leave (so you don't get in trouble)". And of course none of them leave.  LOL. Only in movies.

It has happened in the past, though the guy in charge normally gets cashiered.
