My favorite part of the “enhance” cliche is that it’s always said by the boss person. It’s said as a good idea, something that the silly tech wizard was not thinking of doing. “Oh wow, enhance? Why didn’t I think of that?”
Old Boy is one of those movies that does the “1 vs. 100” extremely well. Showing the hero physically exhausted after just a few seconds of fighting but still pushing through the horde of bad guys. The back and forth of each party getting the upper hand on each other. Until the point where each side is literally just tired and throwing stuff at each other. It’s just awesome. That movie is awesome.
It's logical that the first script idea you think of is cliché, because other filmmakers probably also thought of that idea first, so it gets overused. The problem is you mostly don't realise it's a cliché until it is too late. For example, I just realised the first two clichés mentioned, are in some way in my shortfilm from last year 😬
Same goes for a lot of these cliches. They don't necessarily needed to be avoided in every project, especially if you're aware of them while making it.
I'm surprised you didn't use "No cell service". Although, it's one I'm definitely guilty of overusing because of the ubiquity of cell phones and the question "why can't they just call the cops?"
One discussion that always stems from clichés that I find really interesting is "Where does the line between clichés and tropes lays?". I feel like that line is certainly blurry and moves a lot, but understanding more or less how to find it can allow you to play around it in some interesting ways.
Tropes are just things that happen frequently in a variety of stories. They're storytelling devices that are used to expedite information to an audience. Especially in a movie, where you have a limited amount of time to present information to a group of people watching at the same moment tropes are very useful. Cliches are when tropes are used without understanding their purpose or just when someone can't think of a better way to progress a story. For example take the "car won't start". As a trope it can be useful to show a character who is down on their luck and maybe quite poor, so they can't even afford to keep their car working. It's something that in a few seconds can give the audience a lot of information about the character. As a cliche you might have car that was otherwise working just fine, but suddenly in a moment of crisis stops working. Doesn't really make sense. So there are actually some clear distinctions between tropes and cliches. Basically the intent. Tropes are something you do because you know it's something audiences are familiar with and helps with pacing. Cliches are something you do because it looks cool, everyone else is doing it, or you can't think of a better idea to progress your story.
There's also the one when characters crash their car after getting into an argument or just randomly t-boned by someone (probably in a big truck of some kind) running a red light lol
Loved all the examples here. If you ever cover cliches/tropes again in the future, it would be neat to see an episode on horror specifically because there are so many.
The 9th season of Red Dwarf had the best instance of “enhance” with Rimmer directing the scene looking at reflections of reflections of reflections to read a newspaper. It’s like the show became self aware! 😆
If you have a Silverado 2014-2019 you suffer from this right after you begin to drive. That’s a twist on the cliché and thanks RUclips for helping me find solution
5:24 Okay. That was brilliant. Joss Whedon May suck, but he definitely knows how to write some good stuff. That was a good twist on the stereotypical English line.
This was hilarious, I could watch a whole series on these I do wish you guys would put the film title of each film clip used in the corner of the screen. We are film buffs here and would love to watch a lot of the films referenced. Studio Binder does this and it’s so helpful!
Nah im sorry that Oldboy scene doesn't qualify as cliche. Its frankly flawless in how originally it handled it with that 2d scope meaning he is never "surrounded". Also WHAT a film as far as cinematography goes.
It's one person against more than is possible to fight. That's the cliche. And I would definitely agree that it's a great scene. As we say in the episode, just because something is overused, doesn't mean it can't work. And in this scene it works incredibly well.
The thing I dislike about the "Speak English" cliche is that it portrays being knowledgeable as something undesirable, or possibly even stupid. It makes having any amount of knowledge about the situation at hand equivalent to being so out of touch that they don't know they aren't communicating in a way that everyone else can understand, and that the way they said it is laughable. It also mostly just wastes time. It's often babble that goes on too long as a way of saying "hah, nerd!" and relies on another character eventually saying what should have been said in the first place. What they originally said never becomes relevant later.
Love the sci-fi " some kind of " which is especially used in star trek at least once an episode. But is used quite often in other non star trek movies and shows.
For me there are clichés that have become very annoying these days because of the frequent repetition 1- A person in the subway or train kills all criminals 2- A man who hits or kills a whole team of people and they attack him one by one instead of a group 3- An unhandsome and foolish man gets a wonderful girl that everyone wants 4- When the hero falls under the threat of a weapon from the main villain and can kill him easily the main villain starts talking about several things while another person sneaks behind him to distract him to make the hero kill him while the main villain had the opportunity to kill him all the time 5- That there should be a boy from the age of 13 to 15 who is capable of hacking and can access confidential information quite easily, and yet he is in high school!!! 6- The hero is subjected to fatal blows that no one can bear, yet the main villain who is not injured by any scratch is killed with ease. 7- The main villain can't fight like the hero and doesn't know martial arts like kung fu or any sport, yet threatens the hero throughout the movie and in the end fails to fight I mean why doesn't the main villain know a sport or some moves to takedown or end the a hero ! 8- The bully boy who teases and insults the shy hero of the movie all the time and then the best girl in school loves him, whom the bully wanted for himself and then either the hero kills him or becomes his friend and this is rare 9- That the genius is a shy and eccentric person and is always killed in the last half of the movie 10- When a place is bombed nothing happens and then suddenly after a moment of silence the place explodes and then everyone looks at the person carrying the detonator and says something silly as usual 11- That rain, thunder and lightning begin to fall at the moment of fighting with the main villain 12 - the villain must be Russian and the hero is American
Yep so many of these I've seen. I hate one liners in movies. I can't hear "I'll be back" in any Terminator film w/o throwing up in my mouth a little.As a kid I could tolerate it, but now I see how they pull the gravitas out of a scene
The "English please!" cliche is one that I've not had much trouble with when writing, but now after what you said about using cliches and turning them on themselves, I think I have an idea of how to incorporate it into the international film I'm making: Instead of somebody speaking English with technical terms and somebody else saying "Speak English" as in "Dumb it down for me", instead it'll be someone literally speaking in another language and somebody else saying "Speak English" as in "I genuinely don't understand what you're saying, I don't speak that language". XD
The enhance thing is funny because of the AI upscaling that's available these days. Who knows. Maybe it might actually become a thing. With some limitations.
A brilliant episode and really good selections of movie clichés. I was lucky to have Ryan answer my question on this eight years ago, so it's great to see this being explored in this episode 🙂
0:25 “betrays”? I feel like they meant to say “portrays”, no? Maybe I’m just crazy, but that immediately shook me. Great video by the way, but that’s almost always the case.
The biggest movie cliche is a female character's personality based on their hair colour. With blondes being slutty or dumb, black hair for villains/bad girls, brunettes are dependable/girl next door and redheads are smart/nerdy. Another is that every smart character will have a Rubik's Cube on their desk or use one , because only smart people can memorize an algorithm?
The best example I've scene of the Enhance cliche' was in the movie Contact. It was actually reverse of the cliche' where that were too close on an image and had to zoom out on it.
Decent Cars owned by the Characters : Don't Start. Rusted Post Apocalypse Cars that have been sitting idle for decades : Character fiddles with engine for 2 seconds and car starts up.
"Enhance" is definitely the worse cliché especially and often used in tv-series, I always thought that it is complete nonesense and have seen it way to often. But as you said it definitely is getting more realistic with ai upscaling etc. that is already possible, even tho not in the way that it is shown in the movies. I can also think of the clichés "timers run out but can be stopped in last second" or "loading screens that finish just in time". EDIT: And also: "person is nearly getting shot by bad person, you hear the gunshot and then its the good guy who came in the last moment to shoot the bad guy" (also often seen this with a knive/sword/... instead of a gun)
I think Battlestar Galactica actually made one of the better uses of "enhancing". If only because it actually took hours to enhance an image and someone had to work on it for most of that time. It wasn't just a magical preset and keybind :)
I was looking for the Supertroopers "enhance" moment or Archer's, "I swear I had a line for this" about one-liners to put a comedic cap on those segments.
piggy backing on the infinite ammo one, idk why but every time i see a shotgun in a scene i like to count how many times they cock it before they shoot, or when one person is surrounded by police and you hear all the guns getting cocked but they are just getting raised.
Some of the clichés,like the 100 to 1 or the car won't start are almost unavoidable because they are too central to storytelling in my opinion,many of the other can become annoyingly predictable which leads to the question why wasn't ,the walk in slow motion , walk cool and trip or the superheroes just posing then rushing to battle not on the list, these definitely deserve a spot on the list.
In defense of John Woo, he uses his gun fights as sword fights or martial arts fights. So I feel the infinite ammo cliche works. Each bullet is like a strike so you’d have infinite strikes. Hope that makes sense…
I think Back to the Future gets a pass on the car not starting because the entire premise of the film is built around it, it's an annoying cliche when its just a throw away moment to create some uninspired suspense. A few really basic cliches that I thought of, which are more common in amateur films, but equally frustrating when they're in big budget films: 1. Leaving the door unlocked or totally open on a car or into a room - sometimes not even in a horror film, but just a basic drama where any normal person would do it. 2. Scenes/films opening with an alarm clock going off. This screams student film and despite seeming pretty harmless, it's just so uninspired. 3. Characters hanging up the phone without saying goodbye. Certain circumstances this is fine, and I get not wanting to waste screen time, but its literally a one word exchange to make it feel less like a movie scene. 4. Characters falling over when they're being chased - come up with a unique way for the villain to catch up with the protagonist. 5. More of a character/plot structure issue - but characters constantly making stupid decisions simply because the plot needs to move in the direction the writer wants (literally every episode of ObiWan Kenobi). Have plot naturally unfold based on decisions the characters make, not the other way around.
I agree with them all, however I'm surprised you left out the one of an entire community receiving the same message on their cellphones at the same time, about one of them and the victim is the only one that doesn't pay attention and the rest look at him/her in awe. Usually in high school/campus flix.
Hi Ryan, been a fan of your channel and your work for years now, and I want to thank you for all the cinematic awesomeness you've shared with the world. I've always wanted to know how to shoot and edit the dinner table scene, an example, the one from Don't Worry Darling, which involves some stakes. This is something that I've always wanted to learn and grasp. Hope you'll be able to take the mystery out of this one for me 😊
My favorite part of the “enhance” cliche is that it’s always said by the boss person. It’s said as a good idea, something that the silly tech wizard was not thinking of doing. “Oh wow, enhance? Why didn’t I think of that?”
Bingo!
Shazam!
Old Boy is one of those movies that does the “1 vs. 100” extremely well. Showing the hero physically exhausted after just a few seconds of fighting but still pushing through the horde of bad guys. The back and forth of each party getting the upper hand on each other. Until the point where each side is literally just tired and throwing stuff at each other. It’s just awesome. That movie is awesome.
I think “Daredevil” did it pretty well, too. The hallway fight in season 1 is so damn gripping for the exact reasons you’ve stated.
@@aduckwithayoutubechannelTook the words right out of my mouth lol
It's logical that the first script idea you think of is cliché, because other filmmakers probably also thought of that idea first, so it gets overused. The problem is you mostly don't realise it's a cliché until it is too late.
For example, I just realised the first two clichés mentioned, are in some way in my shortfilm from last year 😬
just to point out: The Edgar wright film-" Hot Fuzz" was totally based around action movie cliche' s
i love that movie
Pretty much the whole Cornetto Trilogy parodies movie cliches. The surprise mirror shot was a joke in Shaun of the Dead
It's also the most foreshadowing I've ever seen in any movie. But it works and makes it even funnier.
Okay, to be fair: the tone of Face-Off is totally one where infinite ammo is appropriate. Face-off was always intended to be a campy cliche
Same goes for a lot of these cliches. They don't necessarily needed to be avoided in every project, especially if you're aware of them while making it.
That's John woo style 😁 all his movies are infinity ammos 🤭
Matrix
I'm surprised you didn't use "No cell service". Although, it's one I'm definitely guilty of overusing because of the ubiquity of cell phones and the question "why can't they just call the cops?"
Add to that ' no battery' - way more realistic, because people do tend to forget to recharge in time. And if then there's no access to a charger...
One discussion that always stems from clichés that I find really interesting is "Where does the line between clichés and tropes lays?". I feel like that line is certainly blurry and moves a lot, but understanding more or less how to find it can allow you to play around it in some interesting ways.
Tropes are just things that happen frequently in a variety of stories. They're storytelling devices that are used to expedite information to an audience. Especially in a movie, where you have a limited amount of time to present information to a group of people watching at the same moment tropes are very useful.

That shotgun part was amazing 😂😂😂
One liners aren't cliché. They're necessary and help make films more memorable.
Drop the Mike!
You go boy!
Schooled!
Nope.
The 9th season of Red Dwarf had the best instance of “enhance” with Rimmer directing the scene looking at reflections of reflections of reflections to read a newspaper. It’s like the show became self aware! 😆
My personal favorites are the cop movie clichés;
"You're off the case!"
"Turn in your badge and gun!"
"You two, captain's office."
There's a scene in an X-Files episode where they want to enhance but they're like "the image is too low res" and it's a great scene.
You forgot the greatest cliche' of them all. "Let's Finish This!"
Also, the most cliche dialogue line of all “You just don’t get it, do you?”
Thax for the episode Ryan
To be fair, "the car wont start" cliché happens to me all the time in real life and in the worst situations.
If you have a Silverado 2014-2019 you suffer from this right after you begin to drive. That’s a twist on the cliché and thanks RUclips for helping me find solution
so daily routine doesn't always need to be filmed since we know that it is inevitable, like taking a dump. Who films that?
@jasonrusso151 from now on, I'm dedicating an entire tiktok to this idea.
what is a "tiktok"@@WhySteve
Wow, I never thought about these. Perfect thing to look out for.
5:24 Okay. That was brilliant. Joss Whedon May suck, but he definitely knows how to write some good stuff. That was a good twist on the stereotypical English line.

11:54 "Garbage daaaaay!" made my day hahahahahah
Man Hershel's shotgun sequence really must be the greatest example of the infinite ammo trope, you are SO right!
The thing I dislike about the "Speak English" cliche is that it portrays being knowledgeable as something undesirable, or possibly even stupid. It makes having any amount of knowledge about the situation at hand equivalent to being so out of touch that they don't know they aren't communicating in a way that everyone else can understand, and that the way they said it is laughable.
It also mostly just wastes time. It's often babble that goes on too long as a way of saying "hah, nerd!" and relies on another character eventually saying what should have been said in the first place. What they originally said never becomes relevant later.
I'm SO glad you mentioned Hershel lol. As soon as that was a cliche my mind went straight there.
The bomb that has a countdown display.
I dunno why but this episode really made me lol, irl. The perfect pick-me-up that I needed, love you guys
Love the sci-fi " some kind of " which is especially used in star trek at least once an episode. But is used quite often in other non star trek movies and shows.
"If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times: avoid cliches like the plague, they're a dime a dozen!"
Um T2 keys in the visor is a way for John to show the Terminator that there is always a more subtle approuch to solving a problem.
A good comedy bit would be for the bad guys to have to take a number and wait in line to have their butt kicked.
Medicine cabin scare I always found weird because I've never seen one in a bathroom
Cabinet ?
re: New Black Adam trailer: I guess Dwayne Johnson didn't watch this episode of yours (walks away from explosion)
For me there are clichés that have become very annoying these days because of the frequent repetition
1- A person in the subway or train kills all criminals
2- A man who hits or kills a whole team of people and they attack him one by one instead of a group
3- An unhandsome and foolish man gets a wonderful girl that everyone wants
4- When the hero falls under the threat of a weapon from the main villain and can kill him easily the main villain starts talking about several things while another person sneaks behind him to distract him to make the hero kill him while the main villain had the opportunity to kill him all the time
5- That there should be a boy from the age of 13 to 15 who is capable of hacking and can access confidential information quite easily, and yet he is in high school!!!
6- The hero is subjected to fatal blows that no one can bear, yet the main villain who is not injured by any scratch is killed with ease.
7- The main villain can't fight like the hero and doesn't know martial arts like kung fu or any sport, yet threatens the hero throughout the movie and in the end fails to fight I mean why doesn't the main villain know a sport or some moves to takedown or end the a hero !
8- The bully boy who teases and insults the shy hero of the movie all the time and then the best girl in school loves him, whom the bully wanted for himself and then either the hero kills him or becomes his friend and this is rare
9- That the genius is a shy and eccentric person and is always killed in the last half of the movie
10- When a place is bombed nothing happens and then suddenly after a moment of silence the place explodes and then everyone looks at the person carrying the detonator and says something silly as usual
11- That rain, thunder and lightning begin to fall at the moment of fighting with the main villain
12 - the villain must be Russian and the hero is American
Also this:
"I need to tell you something..."
*gets interrupted*
I’ve been looking for a video like this recently and i’ve been watching you guys since forever. This was perfect timing !
Appreciate you, Ryan!
Yep so many of these I've seen. I hate one liners in movies. I can't hear "I'll be back" in any Terminator film w/o throwing up in my mouth a little.As a kid I could tolerate it, but now I see how they pull the gravitas out of a scene

XD
A good way to avoid the cliche aspect of these would be to foreshadow them earlier in the story. Add more realism. Add more causality.
“They never put anything good on the newspaper anymore” - James Bond after killing bad guys in newsroom
The enhance thing is funny because of the AI upscaling that's available these days. Who knows. Maybe it might actually become a thing. With some limitations.
Adding the movie title on each individual clip would have been super neat.
I've always hated that X-Men one liner but I'm glad to see it here 👍🏼
A brilliant episode and really good selections of movie clichés. I was lucky to have Ryan answer my question on this eight years ago, so it's great to see this being explored in this episode 🙂
One I've always noticed that goes with the 1 vs 100 usually is the "crawl away from the dogpile unnoticed" always goofy imo
What camera do you use in the studio? Image quality always so 🔥
0:25 “betrays”? I feel like they meant to say “portrays”, no? Maybe I’m just crazy, but that immediately shook me.
Great video by the way, but that’s almost always the case.
Throw in the Wilhelm scream into those fight scenes, and all is forgiven.
The biggest movie cliche is a female character's personality based on their hair colour. With blondes being slutty or dumb, black hair for villains/bad girls, brunettes are dependable/girl next door and redheads are smart/nerdy. Another is that every smart character will have a Rubik's Cube on their desk or use one , because only smart people can memorize an algorithm?
Please make more of these kind of videos 💚
One of your best episodes! Loved it. More like this please.
Another MASSIVE cliche is the line "are you seeing this?" Or "there's something you should see"
Ay I saw “What Lies Beneath” in the mirror Cliché! I wanna think that when I mentioned it on twitter to your question of underrated movies.
this cliche annoys me: waking up scared, nobody wakes up like that
It sucks to see that you guys put soo much effort but youtube doesnt recommend them much
But thanks for giving us so much information for free.
9:30 *I’m gonna need a list* of all those 1 vs 100 films 🍿 🎥
+1
I can't wait to watch this and do every one of these clichés in a video 😂
Super troopers has the best enhance scene ever
The best example I've scene of the Enhance cliche' was in the movie Contact. It was actually reverse of the cliche' where that were too close on an image and had to zoom out on it.
Decent Cars owned by the Characters : Don't Start.
Rusted Post Apocalypse Cars that have been sitting idle for decades : Character fiddles with engine for 2 seconds and car starts up.
Loved this!
"Enhance" is definitely the worse cliché especially and often used in tv-series, I always thought that it is complete nonesense and have seen it way to often. But as you said it definitely is getting more realistic with ai upscaling etc. that is already possible, even tho not in the way that it is shown in the movies. I can also think of the clichés "timers run out but can be stopped in last second" or "loading screens that finish just in time".
EDIT: And also: "person is nearly getting shot by bad person, you hear the gunshot and then its the good guy who came in the last moment to shoot the bad guy" (also often seen this with a knive/sword/... instead of a gun)
Blade Runner’s enhance is the best enhance by far. You know what it is and yet you’re ok with it cause it makes sense and fits the world. Love it
I think Battlestar Galactica actually made one of the better uses of "enhancing". If only because it actually took hours to enhance an image and someone had to work on it for most of that time. It wasn't just a magical preset and keybind :)
Was waiting for the Super Troopers 2 “enhance” scene 😂
who ever keeps their keys in the visor wtf
Also avoiding the line, "as you know".
I love the 1 v 100 one too, with good fighting it's always badass 😂
No one does the 1 vs 100 like Jackie Chan, honestly. He always utilizes all the extra.
I was looking for the Supertroopers "enhance" moment or Archer's, "I swear I had a line for this" about one-liners to put a comedic cap on those segments.
Come on , Ryan you a horror movie buff what about the falling down in the woods or running back into the house . Geeeez lol
I don't about you guys but some clichés look very well done, it's like the title should have been "HOW TO DO CLICHES PROPERLY"
piggy backing on the infinite ammo one, idk why but every time i see a shotgun in a scene i like to count how many times they cock it before they shoot, or when one person is surrounded by police and you hear all the guns getting cocked but they are just getting raised.
“Write, shoot, edit, repeat”. Aw, I knew he was gonna say that.
*_watch RRR then....IN THE first 10 mins...THE 2ND MAIN LEADS PULLS OFF "A 1 V 1000" ....and it's dope_* 🔥🔥🔥
Not me being emotionally hurt not to see Kung Fu hustle in the 1 vs 100
was waiting for "super trooper" Enhance scene
Thanks for Your Work 👍✨
Some of the clichés,like the 100 to 1 or the car won't start are almost unavoidable because they are too central to storytelling in my opinion,many of the other can become annoyingly predictable which leads to the question why wasn't ,the walk in slow motion , walk cool and trip or the superheroes just posing then rushing to battle not on the list, these definitely deserve a spot on the list.
Thanks!
In defense of John Woo, he uses his gun fights as sword fights or martial arts fights. So I feel the infinite ammo cliche works. Each bullet is like a strike so you’d have infinite strikes. Hope that makes sense…
You forgot the cliché: when dead bodies in movies always pose the same dramatic pose. That is one cliché i just hate.
kevin coster in open range made a SAA six shooter into a belt fed. STILL absolutely love the film.
Walking away like a boss from a huge explosion.
By far the worst clishe for me is the good ol' "Let's split up" in a horror movie.
I think Back to the Future gets a pass on the car not starting because the entire premise of the film is built around it, it's an annoying cliche when its just a throw away moment to create some uninspired suspense.
A few really basic cliches that I thought of, which are more common in amateur films, but equally frustrating when they're in big budget films:
1. Leaving the door unlocked or totally open on a car or into a room - sometimes not even in a horror film, but just a basic drama where any normal person would do it.
2. Scenes/films opening with an alarm clock going off. This screams student film and despite seeming pretty harmless, it's just so uninspired.
3. Characters hanging up the phone without saying goodbye. Certain circumstances this is fine, and I get not wanting to waste screen time, but its literally a one word exchange to make it feel less like a movie scene.
4. Characters falling over when they're being chased - come up with a unique way for the villain to catch up with the protagonist.
5. More of a character/plot structure issue - but characters constantly making stupid decisions simply because the plot needs to move in the direction the writer wants (literally every episode of ObiWan Kenobi). Have plot naturally unfold based on decisions the characters make, not the other way around.
I’m sorry, but who the fuck puts keys in the visor? Like, I genuinely want to know. 😂
A shotgun that carries 3 bullets.... a shotgun... that carries... 3 bullets...
Strange shotgun you got there mate.
Please, bring a part 2
I agree with them all, however I'm surprised you left out the one of an entire community receiving the same message on their cellphones at the same time, about one of them and the victim is the only one that doesn't pay attention and the rest look at him/her in awe. Usually in high school/campus flix.
While the "enhance" cliché is pretty egregious, I don't think it's #1. Number One has to be "You gotta see this" and all it's insipid variations.
I was just thinking of that when I saw the "enhance" cliché. Ha! Yeah, surprised it isn't even there! XD
Hi Ryan, been a fan of your channel and your work for years now, and I want to thank you for all the cinematic awesomeness you've shared with the world. I've always wanted to know how to shoot and edit the dinner table scene, an example, the one from Don't Worry Darling, which involves some stakes. This is something that I've always wanted to learn and grasp. Hope you'll be able to take the mystery out of this one for me 😊
Thanks a lot
Now I wanna know who came up with these clichés first... when they weren't clichés.
What about the more modern cliche where the space ship has to escape the enemy and the warp drive/hyperspace drive breaks down every time.
You forgot Super Troopers where they parody “enhance”!
part 2 please!
All of Hollywood is a huge cliché.
This was a lot of fun :D
Didn't realize the car won't start was such a HUGELY overused one
