10 Things That Happen In Movies That Piss You Off

10. Driving While Not Looking At The Road

Even basic driving scenes are much more complicated to film than you might think - at least in a way that's even remotely convincing.

While technically it boils down to simply placing the actors inside a car and either rear-projecting the view outside the car or compositing it with a green screen, so much of the driver's behaviour will dictate how believable the scene actually is.

Literally countless movies will have the character driving the car turn away from the road for seconds at a time to talk to their passenger(s), as would of course present a massive safety risk in real life.

This was hilariously parodied in Dumb and Dumber, where during a limo run Lloyd (Jim Carrey) turns around and tells his passenger, Mary (Lauren Holly), she's more statistically likely to be killed on her way to the airport, all while cars collide and explode in front of him.

But in serious movies, it can quickly annihilate the audience's immersion, as they're reminded in neon-signposted fashion that these characters are not in fact driving along an actual road, but parked in a hermetically sealed studio.

This is without even getting into characters who continually fiddle with the steering wheel while clearly driving in a straight line. Oof.
