I'm very good at suspending disbelief, or at least accepting wacky things in the context of a film, but sometimes I get pushed way over the edge.
The first big thing that leaps to mind is The Mummy II with the dawn sunlight creeping across the ground as they outrun it and hope it won't reach the big crystal at the top of the pyramid. Basic geometry and physics please! Then again, if it was a Discworld film, it'd be more forgivable, because light is described as crawling over the land.
Oh, and cars on the ground outrunning the orbital laser closing in on them. Hmmm, another Geometry one.
There's scenes that make me wince in disbelief - Doc Oc in Spiderman 2 getting thrown about (he's still just a human with uber-arms), Iron Man slamming into the ground in suit #1, Indy (4) slamming into the ground in fridge #1, etc...
Then you take a film like Wanted, which I caught recently and thoroughly enjoyed, curving bullets and all. In my mind it was a silly action fantasy film, so bullets curving around things were just fine.
