When the Hero is getting the crap beaten out of him by the Bad Guy, and the Lady is cringing in the corner, she sometimes does pick up a vase or something to bash the Bad Guy's head in, but she ALWAYS misses and hits the Hero, giving the Bad Guy time to escape.
The Lady who sprains her ankle, thus suffering an injury serious enough to prevent her from escaping the Bad Guy but minor enough that she's recovered by the end of the movie.
Anyone who has a hunch or intuition or says they are psychic are always right.
Estranged or divorced couples always get back together in action/adventure movies.
The best cliches can be found in the Report of High Commander Dick Solomon (3rd Rock from the Sun) back to his home planet. Just to quote a couple:
"EXPLOSIONS: The murder method of choice for madmen. When an explosion occurs, all people and cars in the area go flying into the air. The bad guys will die a grisly death while the hero will survive unscathed save for some minor soot or grease markings.
"GUNFIRE: Once a person's body contains twenty or more [bullets], they die.
"HOOKER SEX: Hooker sex is inevitably interupted by people who riddle the man with bullets."
