I can add a few:

41. All computers make silly unrealistic sounds when operational.

42. All control panels emit showers of sparks when a spaceship is hit, and they all make the same sound effect.

43. All airfield bomb explosions contain at least 20 litres of petrol, some far more.

44. All old cars and trucks in period films look like new.

45. German troops always have a White half track in the inventory.

46. All Jeeps make a squealing sound whilst braking on desert sand.

47. All German "anti-heroes" are named Steiner.

48. All Smith & Wesson revolvers are capable of firing 6, 538, 358,357 rounds in one action sequence.

49. All Mills bombs (No 36 Grenades) are capable of blowing off the track of any German tank.

50. Tim Tams don't last forever, slouch hats, however, do.
