Virtuous young heroes defeat entrenched evil against overwhelming odds.

Villains explain their true motives at the end.

The girl chooses the loveable geek over the semi-abusive brute.

Librarians turn into supermodels when they remove their glasses and shake out their hair.

A day after receiving a severe beating, the hero is ready to fight, perform athletic activities, and engage in intimate amorous pursuits.

The hero can think and act clearly in spite of an injury that would produce overwhelmingly agony.

People in foreign cultures respond like American Presbyterians at a bake sale when Westerners smile and express social awareness.

Youth itself is a virtue.

There is always a clear right and a clear wrong.

Sexually promiscuous people don't get incurable venereal diseases.

People commonly have new ideas.

Brutally suppressed townsfolk follow the young rebel, rather than turn him over to the authorities in order to curry favor.

People unfamiliar with horses can mount up and ride like a pro.

Women can regularly lift as much weight as a similarly sized man.

Men are more impressed with a woman's independence, forthrightness and confidence than they are with her cooking.

Somebody plays stirring music to accompany your emotional outburst.

People in horror movies scream like maniacs in fright, when in real life people do not scream like that but would be shocked and liable to faint.

cars making a perfect landing after a forty foot jump and they never break the suspension system.

The first girl James Bond takes to bed in the movie always seem to die.
