Walking away unflinchingly as something behind you blows up.

Great question! It never cease to amaze how a sword-wielding action hero is able to put an enemy out of commission with ONE slash -- thereby allowing the hero to cut a swath through enemy lines as he leads the charge. Even a pretty boy who has picked up a sword for the first time can do it, and the slash is so powerful that it cuts through full body armor and deals an instantaneous death blow. Nevermind the laws of physics and the properties of metal! We have a war to win!

That every car chase has some slow motion shot where the vehicle jumps over .... well over something.
Do you remember the end of "Gone in 60 Seconds" when Nic Cage is stuck on the bridge. And it just so happens that in the other lane there is a car carrier, with the ramp down, and no one else behind it. Yeah, when he made that jump I literally walked out of the theater.
Or in "Speed" when the city bus jump a 100 foot gap on the freeway. IT WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!
One of the reasons I love the movie "Roadtrip" is because of when they try to jump the washed out bridge. Oh, they make it, and the car is completely totalled. Just like every other car that jumps over anything in any movie would be in real life.
God, I hate that.

When the bad guy is supposedly killed only for the camera to pan out and find the bad guy has gotten up when the camera pans back. (This is also a horror movie cliche).
I often wish that the bad guy is either killed simply or that, for a change, the bad guy is arrested and convicted.

The hero has a past, it catches up with him in pursuit of the villian, henchmen attacking one at a time, having to sleep with the main female whos lipstick reapplies in every shot, killing the bad guys who are almost always Russians, the hero about to die, gets strenght out of nowhere, kills the bad guy, sorts out his issues, kisses or drives off with his gal in the last scene.

Telling the entire evil plan to the hero while arranging an elaborate and slow death, thereby allowing the hero a chance to foil the plan. (Don't tell him anything, and just shoot him already!)

Blowing up cars and other vehicles. LOVE the tough guy talk and wisecracks, though.
