The dumbest movie cliches

High schoolers played by 26-year-old actors

Characters who go into a bar or restaurant and say "I'll have a beer" without saying what kind

The fresh-faced young soldier in every war movie who talks about how he can't wait to get back to his girl back home...then is tragically killed

Actor gets the shit kicked out of him/her in violence that would put anyone in real life on life support. Said actor shows up a day or two later, minor bruise or small bandage as only indication of the experience.
