10 Movies That BRILLIANTLY Avoided Huge Cliches
3. Glass Tables Don't Break - Game Night
It's a cliche of action films that basically everything in the vicinity is extremely fragile and breakable during a fight scene because, more often than, it looks really damn cool.
We've all seen dozens of movies where a character is thrown onto a glass table during a fight and it just explodes, but in reality they're usually a good deal more sturdy than that.
And the terrifically entertaining 2019 action-comedy Game Night has great fun illustrating this fact, as on two separate occasions characters are thrown onto a glass table, only for it to just... not break at all.
The second instance even results in Kevin (Lamorne Morris) hilariously quipping, "Glass tables are acting weird tonight."
While it's totally understandable that action movies love breaking glass tables because it frankly just looks awesome, Game Night went unexpectedly out of its way to point out just how unrealistic this incredibly common trope actually is.
