Just seen a good one:

Heroine fights stalker in her house and after a titanic fight, knives, frying pans, etc, the stalker is killed. Heroine stumbles outside covered in blood to the sounds of police sirens and flashing lights.

The timing of the Police is always woeful they never manage to get to the house before the stalker/psycho is killed.

I was disappointed that the heroine didn't lock herself in the bathroom during the fight though.

My pet hate cliche...

"Let's not tell that person that we did that thing...they're standing behind me aren't they"

It's the comedy equivalent of "...then they awoke and it was all a dream."

"...sure beats doin' stuff."

Remember seeing that for the first time and thought it was funny. What was the film something with either Keaton or Bill Paxton? You are right of course it's now been done to death.

Ahh I see what you are saying.

Never really seen a picture of Beyonce because of her stupid name but to be fair she is stunning to look at. (she was the heroine blah blah blah).

Not a good move if the attacker is a stumpy, angry, Sth African sprinter.

Cop shows are generally awful in how they show technology being used. Check out this scene from NCIS:

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
