1. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange
noises wearing their most revealing underwear.
2. Beds have strange L-shaped top sheets that reach up to armpit level
on a woman but only waist level on the man lying beside her.
3. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French
bread.
4. It's easy for anyone to land a plane, providing there is someone in
the control tower to talk you down.
5. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.
6. The ventilation system of any building is a perfect hiding place. No
one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to
any other part of the building without difficulty.
7. You're likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the
mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not
be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.
9. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in
Paris.
10. People on TV never finish their drinks.
11. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but
will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
12. When paying for a taxi, never look at your wallet as you take out a
note - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the
exact fare.
13. If you lose a hand, it will cause the stump of your arm to grow by
15cm.
14. Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at
night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.
15. During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a
strip club at least once.
16. Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family
every morning, even though the husband and children never have time to
eat them.
17. Cars and trucks that crash will almost always burst into flames.
18. A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of a
football stadium.
19. If a killer is lurking in your house, it's easy to find him. Just
relax and run a bath - even if it's the middle of the afternoon.
20. All single women have a cat.
21. Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.
22. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few
moments.
23. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all
than 20 men firing at one.
24. If a phone line is broken, communication can be restored by
frantically beating the cradle and saying, "Hello?, Hello?"
25. Most people keep a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings - especially if
any of their family or friends has died in a strange boating accident.
26. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight
involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you
one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have
knocked out their predecessor.
27. During a very emotional confrontation, instead of facing the person
you are speaking to, it is customary to stand behind them and talk to
their back.
28. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your room
will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.
29. Dogs always know how to spot villains and will bark at them and no
one else.
30. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make
sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total
opposite.
31. When they are alone, all foreigners somehow prefer to speak English
to each other.
32. If there is a deranged killer on the loose, this will coincide with
a thunderstorm that has brought down all the power and phone lines in
the vicinity.
33. There's always a chainsaw around when you need one.
34. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their
arch-enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley
systems, deadly gases, lasers and man eating sharks that will allow
their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.
35. All bombs are fitted with helpful electronic timing devices that
have large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go
off.
36. It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are
visiting.
37. Make-up can safely be worn to bed without smudging.
38. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from
duty.
39. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into
will know all the steps.

Actually dogs and pets in general die pretty often in films. Sometimes they even return from the grave for different reasons like in "Pet Cemetary" or in "The Sixth Day".

#65. And after the car finally starts/said car in poorly maintained condition can crash up to 30 times while newer/better cars stop running after one collision/explosion (see #17). During said car chase one police cruiser/mob vehicle will always cut off another just as you turn onto a side street, you may encounter on coming vehicles, in order to escape turn into an alley wide enough for one car only and back out as fast you can, you will NEVER hit another vehicle or be hit by another vehicle.
