...what are the full 'laws of hollywood'.

By this I mean in the cheesiest, most predictable hollywood flick what do you *know* will happen?

So far I have...

The Laws of Hollywood aka the 'Laws of Spielberg'

There will be a heroic rescue.
The bad guys will die.
The lead character survives, always.
The good guy gets the girl.
There will be a fight scene, the hero will win.

Children are not allowed to die.
If there is an English male character, he will be evil or stupid or both.
Mystical predictions or prophecies always come true.
If the female lead wears glasses (e.g. she is a ScientistTM), she will miraculously stop needing them by the end of the film.

Oh, I forgot:
If a main character does something cowardly/treacherous and later regrets it, they will be able to redeem themselves only by dying heroically - reprehensible acts by non-evil main characters have to be punished by death!

I like the glasses one, so true!
