Things we have learned from current movies (and tv for that matter):

All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices that have large red readouts telling when they're going to go off

During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip joint at least once

Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do

If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises only while wearing their most revealing underwear

When confronted by an evil international terrorist, sarcasm and wisecracks are you best weapons

One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them than 20 men firing at one man, if he is the hero

Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading alien civilization

It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one

All important vehicles, or vehicles in general are manufactured out of high-explosive side panels, or have a significant load of volatile explosives in their trunk and/or cargo area.

All people can withstand near unlimited amounts of punching and kicking.

Everyone either good or bad has enough honour to fight on equal terms with their adversaries. No one brings a gun to a knife fight, it's just not done.
