Why, in Movies, do those being chased on foot, always fall over?

My hubby watches all those 2 hour movies that are on TV every night. They use the same actors over and over, they all drink gallons of wine throughout the movie and get killed with the same knife in the last 15 minutes of the show.
My hubby sits riveted to the tube and I go into a coma.

Yes, most of those movies are predictable so what would be the point in watching them?

Well, I watch the old 1930's movies and the young, newly married couple who are counting pennies to pay the rent ALWAYS HAVE A HOUSEKEEPER! She is always dressed in a uniform and a white apron. (!!!??????!!????)
And, many of the old western movies , the scenery looks like a Russell painting or a Bonanza set. No dust, and the dirt has been brushed clean with a broom!
They use guns that haven't been invented yet.
They wear bright pink shirts. Cowboys back then wouldn't be caught dead in bright pink shirts!

just a wee question Gaer..if it's a 1930's movie, presumably it's in Black and white. How do you know they're wearing Pink shirts?:unsure::LOL:
 

I always got a kick out of the old Superman tv series..
The bad guy would be shooting at Superman with a handgun. Superman just stood there as the bullets bounced off him.
Then the bad guy would run out of bullets, so he would "throw" his gun at Superman. Who ducked as the gun flew by him.
Wait a minute, what?? :unsure:

There was one blooper on Superman that really cracked me up. In one scene where he runs, then jumps & flies away, the springboard bounced up into the scene.
 
Tense time in an old B&W 50's movie: the bad guy/zombie/mummy/alien has the boyfriend by the throat and is getting ready to tear his head off. What does the lady do? Does she pick up a vase and smash the baddie over the head? Does she kick him somewhere delicate? Does she even run for help? Nooooo, she cowers in the corner with the back of her hand against her mouth and screams and screams and screams. At some point, she faints. Delicately, with her knees still covered, of course.

No wonder women were depicted as the "weaker sex" back then.
