4. Furiosa's On Knees Screaming Cliché
As countless people have noted since the film came out, Imperator Furiosa is as much a star of Mad Max: Fury Road as Max himself - indeed, it is Furiosa who guides the narrative and acts as the central agent of change, and her mission is the one which the audience is fully invested in. Upon passing through the swampland and escaping from the clutches of Immortal Joe, Furiosa finally returns to the place of her birth, only to discover that the Green Place she sought has become little more than an uninhabitable wasteland. At this point, Furiosa falls to her knees and lets out an almighty scream. Now it's fair to say that this is a reasonable reaction given the circumstances and the hardships endured to get this far, but when it comes to cinematic cliches the only thing which could have made this shot any worse would be if she'd thrown in a good old fashioned "Nooo!" for good measure.
