Stupid/useless movie lines....

I am pretty good at picking up bloopers in movies and have also noticed lines in movies that just do not make sense.

For example, In the movie, In the line of Fire, starring Clint Eastwood as a secret service agent chasing a guy who is threatening to kill the president, he finds out the would be assassin is a former CIA operative and happens upon his house.

While in the house, he is confronted by a Senior CIA agent who is also looking for this wacko. Anyway, gun in hand, Eastwood asks, "Who are you here for Leary, or me?"

Senseless.

In the movie Seven, the Captain of the 2 detective searching for a serial killer, moves to a desk near the dicks to ask some questions. The phone rings incessantly and he answers it by saying, "this isn't even my desk" and hangs up.

Again, senseless.

Anyone else have some bloopers or useless lines that make you wonder?

Thanks

In the original Star Wars after the droiids wander through the dessert the stormtroopers investigate. One bends down and picks up some springs and gears and says "Look sir, Droids."
Droids leaving springs and gears behind would be like people leaving toes and fingers. Just doesn't add up.

In the Arnold movie "Commando" he got into a car chase with a yellow Porshe that flipped over and was real banged up on one side. Arnold pushed the car to make it go back on all fours and the damage was obvious.

A few frames go by and he and the girl drive on their merry way with no damage at all.

This is more along the lines of "fantasy" than a true blooper . . . in "Jersey Girl" the Ben Afleck character has to take his newborn daughter with him to a press event featuring Will Smith at the NYC Hard Rock Cafe. Somehow he manages to get a street parking space directly across the front door in the middle of the day . . . talk about suspension of disbelief!

You guys need to see Film Fakers on AMC, they produce these pitiful movies without the actors knowing the movie is a fake so the actors are acting out the most awful scripts ever written.

How about the scene in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK where Indiana Jones falls into the pit with the snakes. He falls and is face to face with a cobra. You can see the reflection of the cobra in the glass that is between him and Harrison Ford.
