The Takes a Licking but Keeps on Ticking award goes to Hard Cash. The bad guy crashes into a lake in his car, and standing waist-deep in water, he takes his cell phone out of his pants pocket, and it still works. John Cameron Swayze would have been proud.
The Yet Another Freudian Theme award goes to Analyze That. Robert DeNiro makes a call on a phone outside his cell to Billy Crystal's cell phone.

The On the Other hand, Tranquilizers Must Give You ESP award goes to XXX. Vin Diesel, waking up in the diner, says "there's no way a career waitress comes to work in high heels". How did he know that it wasn't her first day on the job?

In Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ferris takes his girl friend on an adventure, has Cameron phone the principal pretending to be Sloan's father, while a teacher rambles on in an Economics class, claims to be the sausage king of Chicago, and dons sunglasses to avoid being recognized; and a disheveled Mr. Rooney gets on a bus after his car is towed.

As if we wouldn't notice.
