        Lampshaded in Star Trek: First Contact.


        With most anti-aircraft artillery, the charges were pretty destructive, the problem was hitting the target. Flak guns were designed to burst nearby and inflict shrapnel damage, which was quite capable of setting an engine or fuel tank on fire, or killing crew.

        Ships' main and secondary cannons (up to 5" calibre) were considered viable AA weapons, especially when you *did* need a one-shot kill (incoming bombers and Kamikaze). These days they have radar-guided Gatling guns and ship-to-air missiles to help out.
        Psst! Joke thread!

          When taking a beating and being tossed around like a ragdoll by a heavily muscular tattooed brute, the hero will only suffer a slightly bloodied lip, and a few dirty smudges.

          Any exposure to inclement weather will immediately result in a cold with an exageratedly reddened nose.

            Nilbog (God help you if you recognize this one),

            Listen closely to the soundtrack; and pay attention to the audience, since they are usually far more intelligent than you could ever hope to be.
            I recognize that one, know little to nothing about it, but I recognize it...

            Also, Eddie Izzard has a joke about the sound track in horror movies...
            "Oooo! It sounds creepy down here! I'm not going down that path..."
            "I call murder on that!"

              Nilbog is Goblin reversed. It's the town in Troll 2. Famous for this scene:

                Especially on tv, but whenever men pull down their trousers they always have boxers.

                  And you always dial a number that starts with 555.
                  There is a range of 555 numbers reserved for fictional use, so a movie or show doesn't end up using someone's real phone number by accident.

                    I heard that before some time back, but it's still one of those "predictable" things one comes across in films.
