A restaurant/nightclub with a line of people out the door, will always have an empty table up front by the stage.
Nightclubs packed shoulder-to-shoulder have both music loud enough to dance to, and spots quiet enough to have a conversation.
There's always a parking place right in front of the building you want to visit.
Strangers who have never visited the area before immediately know all the local landmarks ("Meet me at the abandoned barn behind the church that burned down last year." "Okie-dokey.")
Good guys can be shot/stabbed/etc and still perform like an Olympic athlete.
Bad guys who take a "karate chop" to the back of the head (from someone who doesn't know karate!) are knocked unconscious for the rest of the movie.
The Invincible Foe, is vincible.
The Weak Hero, after losing the first battle, is unstoppable.
When the bad guy has the good guy on his knees, and victory is almost assured, he will say something, or do something (like punch the hero's girlfriend), that will totally P*** OFF the hero and give him the burst of adrenalin needed to come back.
People can remember events that happened years ago in incredible detail.
The longshot, one-in-a-million, last chance for success always works.
