Do you have a mystery movie cliche that drives you nuts?
Something that just makes no sense to you?
Mine is the scene where the detective suddenly tosses some thing to a suspect. The suspect catches it in their right hand and the detective immediately decides the suspect MUST be right-handed. And every time I see that scene I think: I played baseball for years, my reflex would be to catch with my LEFT hand precisely because I am right-handed -- the left hand was always the one with the baseball glove and the one I caught with. But, based in this logic, the detective would assume I'm left-handed.
