Yes, it was.
What annoys me to no end is when the hero and the heroine are chased by the bad guys, and are fleeing on foot. Running holding hands! As if one of them are going to drag the other up to speed…
Any idiot understands that holding hands while running is only going to slow them down! The best way to run fast is, ofcourse, to have both hands free.
Seen in countless action movies…
When the defendant finally comes clean to their lawyer about what really happened, the lawyer says (incredulous and outraged), “Why didn’t you tell me this sooner??”
“Because I knew how it would look.”
This finally did Lost for me. Everyone used a rifle butt like a pause button on everyone else. With zero consequences; not even cuts or bruises.
Unless running from a bear. Then the way to run faster is kick the other person in the knee.
OMG, there is a person I argued with 2 hours ago laying dead with a knife in their chest. I should probably pull it out.
…and make sure I get my fingerprints all over the knife! 
I ended my post (but apparently used some code so it didn’t show) with
Cue police coming into the room
You probably used pointy brackets (I don’t know the real name: <)

ty. That’s exactly what I did.
Good ones.
But there is also “Retired crook blackmailed into ONE.LAST. Heist”. Because of course if they can make you do one last heist, they can make you do another and another and another.
A ship is firing at the Enterprise. Counselor Troi: “I sense hostility”. No shit, thank you for that useless piece of info.

Which means every bit of evidence you collect will be tossed out, if not the entire case.

“But, last time you said that one was personal… and before… and when your neighbor’s roofer’s mother got kidnapped, you said “THIS TIME it’s PERSONAL!’ So can we just assume that every time will be personal, and skip the posturing? I mean, by now, the perp’s a mile away while you’ve been emoting.”
Of course, the One Last Job. I say ‘job’ because it can also be a retired hitman doing one last hit. And they don’t even have to always be blackmailed, just talked into it because “it’s easy money, a walk in the park, piece of cake! It’ll be nothing like that job in Mozambique that went sideways, trust me.”
Or maybe bribed into it with something like “We’ll bust your brother out of that Turkish prison where he’s locked up on what we all know are totally bogus charges.”
This is hilarious. Happens all the freaken time on TV.
Frau Blucher?
Yes. because remember, once the lines break- you do not know who the foe is. No one wore uniforms. You had to fight in formation.
HBO rule- anything good has to be canceled. See “Deadwood, Rome…”
I saw a Mannix repeat last night in which a dying man lying prone on the floor somehow performed a contortion in which his right hand emerged from under the left side of his belly holding an automatic, and he fired a single shot at a bad guy on the stairs 50 feet away, killing him.
I remember there was a episode of the original Hawaii 5-0, where a sniper, using a scoped rifle , open fire on McGarrett from like the next island or something. Steve was sunning by a pool. First shot missed- understandable, windage, distance, etc= tough shot. Next shot missed as McGarrett was rolling and dodging. Then Steve takes out his snub-nosed revolver, and while dodging fires a single shot and drops the sniper. 
The Five-O team was equipped with magic .38s, obviously. Just like the Stuart in GI Combat comics carried special, high-velocity 37mm rounds that could knock out a Tiger tank at 100 yards.
Okay, that… that…actually kinda works.
OK just saw one this weekend.
It’s quiet out here, so quiet we need to whisper or they may hear us and find us.
But of course you don’t hear their motorcycles/trucks/cars/dune buggies/ATVs/etc. until they are right on top of you. (insert jump scare as they attack)
The ONLY movie that gets a pass on this is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the tinker scene.
That reminds me of the surprise “hit by a bus” cliche (…garbage truck, semi, or even just car).
Sure, it’s possible to walk out into traffic, not paying attention, in a busy, loud setting like a city and get hit by a bus. And it’s possible that the driver of said bus or other large vehicle was also not paying attention, maybe texting or having a stroke, so makes no attempt to hit their brakes or lean on the horn.
But very often I see, for the sake of a jump scare, a person is walking across a completely empty street in a quiet town, with plenty of sight lines, and they’ll pause in the middle of the street, turn around and say to a person they were walking away from “and another thing…(SPLAT!!!)”. bus materializes out of nowhere.
Here’s a perfectly egregious example (scroll forward to about 1:45):
