Hollywood Movie Cliches

BINOCULARS & GLASSES
- A villain will always commit murder right in front of the window when someone with binoculars is watching

BOMBS
- Evil geniuses who devise bombs to destroy things/people always have them detonate after at least an hour,
giving the hero ample time to defuse it

- When you cut the wire to the detonator, the timer will stop. You will not be able to do this, however, until
only one second remains.

- All wires have different colors, so the hero can easily differentiate them when he has to cut the right one

CARS & DRIVING
- There are always people carrying around large sheets of glass on the street during a car chase

- A car that crashes will always explode in a ball of flames, but not until the hero can pull the important
passengers to safety

DINING
- The hero and heroine in love always get a great table in a restaurant, even in New York City at lunch
on Saturday

ELEVATORS
- Movie elevators are always ready at that floor. But if the hero/heroine is being chased, elevator won't come.

HEROES
- The hero always misses the villan leaving the scene by seconds

- Heroes can go without food or sleep, with no measurable drop in physical or mental faculties, for at
least 72 hours.

- When a hero gets a bloody nose, he'll stop bleeding almost immediately

HOUSES
- Any apartment in Paris will have a view of the Eiffel Tower

SPORTS
- In any type of sport movie, a player on the field can look up into a crowd of 1 billion and immediately spot
their loved one.

TIME
- Movie timing is always exact. If a phone trace will take two minutes, for example, you can be sure that that
means 120 seconds, not a fraction more or less. Same for bombs, amount of time to get to a destination, etc

- Corollary to the above: all characters in a movie have their watches perfectly synchronized

VILLAINS
- The bad guy is the foreigner.

- Whenever a villain has captured the hero, he will pause for 5 minutes to tell the hero every detail of his
plan to destroy and/or rule the earth, including times, dates, and addresses

WOMEN
- Women always fight other movie women by pulling hair, falling to ground together, rolling over twice

- Women also scream or make some other noise at the precise moment the villain is close enough to hear

New Design RM50 Banknote - 15 July 2009

Bank Negara Malaysia today announces the issuance of the new design RM50 banknote from 15 July 2009.
This new design of RM50 banknote is the first denomination of the Fourth Series of Malaysian currency notes
which will be replacing the existing series in stages.

The earlier new design of RM50 banknote was issued in December 2007 to commemorate Malaysia's 50th
Anniversary of Independence. This current series will no longer have the logo of the country's golden jubilee
celebrations and will have, enhanced security features.

The enhanced security features incorporated in this new design of RM50 banknote are:

- The Colour Shifting Security Thread which replaces the existing security thread and is embedded in the
paper. The thread appears on the reverse side of the note as coloured intermittent lines. When held against light,
it is seen as a continuous dark coloured line and the repeated text of BNM RM50 can be read. When the note is
tilted, the colour of the thread changes from red to green and vice versa. Under ultra-violet light, the repeated text
of BNM RM50 will fluoresce yellow and the thread is seen as a continuous fluorescent yellow line when the
banknote is viewed from the obverse.

- The Two-Coloured Fluorescent Elements is an additional invisible printed feature on the reverse of the note.
Under ultra-violet light, a complex design two-colour numeral 50 will fluoresce.

The existing security features which are designed for public verification remains as follows:

- The Watermark Portrait can be recognised by tints that are lighter or darker than the surrounding paper. This
watermark portrait which has a three-dimensional effect appears without sharp outlines. At the base of the
watermark, the numeral 50 is clearly visible.

- Perfect See-Through Register features the songket design on the obverse and reverse of the banknote when
it is held against the light.

- Invisible Fluorescent Elements of the background on the obverse and reverse of the banknote which fluoresces
in different colours under ultra-violet light.

- Micro-Letterings of "BNM RM50" which can be viewed under a magnifying glass.

- Holographic Stripe features the numeral 50 and hibiscus flower.

- Multicolor Latent Image where the numeral 50 is visible when the banknote is tilted slightly and changes
color when it is rotated.

- Anti-Scanner feature in which certain design cannot be captured by scanning machines.

- Braille Feature for the visually impaired.

The new RM50 banknote, thus incorporates various modern and innovative security features principally aimed at
deterring counterfeiting. Members of the public are advised to take note of the security features and design outlined
above. The existing design series of the RM50 banknote will continue to remain legal tender and will co-circulate
with the new RM50 banknotes as the former are gradually phased out. No time limit has been set on the duration
of co-circulation.
