History Narm / TheHungerGames

* Rue's screaming for Katniss to save her while she's trapped under the net. It's especially egregious because she had previously been established as a stealthy, rational and reasonably intelligent character, and her panicking, screaming and flailing seem tailor-made to draw Clove in and get her killed (and give Katniss more angst).

* President Snow's ridiculously cliched villain line, "They're ''holding hands''. I want them dead," had an entire theater burst out laughing.

* Coin's speech during [[spoiler:Snow's execution]] is so heavy handed that it's impossible to take seriously; not to mention that, by itself, makes it obvious what's going to happen to her.

* Katniss' rage-filled speech after the District 8 bombing borders on this, but Jennifer Lawrence delivery mostly saves it. [[NarmCharm Mostly]].

* Clove overpowering Katniss at the Cornucopia is another example. In the book, Clove had a size advantage over Katniss that allowed her to easily pin Katniss to the ground. In the movie, Clove is much smaller than Katniss, so the resulting fight scene comes off as rather unbelievable.

* Some of the deathtraps are a little over the top. Like the death-by-evil-black-jello in ''Mockingjay''.

* The Quarter Quell arena outfits look like dance leotards, given their description as blue, thin jumpsuits that zipper up the front.

* The devices used by the troops in ''Mockingjay'' can self-detonate. One has to say "Nightlock" [[RuleOfThree three times]] to activate it... which sounds ''very'' impractical.

* The trilogy's wording can be this at times. From the first book, ''"I avoid looking at anyone as I take tiny spoonfuls of fish soup. The saltiness reminds me of my tears."''

* President Snow? Are you there? It's me, Katniss...

* The morbid cause of it makes it BlackComedy for sure, but there's still quite a bit of narmy humor in Katniss's squeaky voice at the very beginning of the film.

* The Capitol citizen's fashion can look a bit silly on screen, especially considering that they're the villainous high class ruling over the Districts. On the other hand, this is possibly the IntendedAudienceReaction, as Katniss finds their fashions absurd in the book too, so the villainy here is more that they can afford to do so when people are starving to death in the lower Districts.

* In District Two, the Capitol has established a rather powerful military fortress filled with soldiers and weapons. The fortress's name? [[UnfortunateName The Nut]].

* The scene with the lumberjacks in District 7 bombing their Peacekeepers can come off as this, due to the Peacekeepers' [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy poor aim]] and the fact that the trees are left conspicuously undamaged by the bombs.
* If they were antipersonnel mines with shaped charges (likely) they wouldn't damage the trees much by design, but the results on the Peacekeepers would have been anything but BloodlessCarnage.

* The name used in the Spanish translation of ''Mockingjay'', translated as ''Sinsajo'' (pronounced as "Seen-Hah-Hoh"). According with the translators, they choose that name as a pormanteau of the birds "mockingbird" (translated as "'''Sin'''sonte" in Spanish) and the "Eurasian jay" (translated as "Arren'''dajo''') just like in English. The problem here is "Sinsajo", due of the way how Spanish language works, being a phonetic language, sounds as both "Sin Ajo" (Without Garlic) or "Sin Sabor" (Tasteless), losing the translated name any kind of dramatic impact on the way.

** Later on, he manages to camouflage himself to point of near invisibility, but Katniss notes that most of his body is covered by grass and dirt, making his camouflage skills, and by extension his cake decorating skills, look [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway useless]].
* During the interview with Caesar, Katniss's wedding dress burns up to resemble a mockingjay. Then, Caesar comments that Katniss looks like a bird. In response, Katniss states that she resembles a mockingjay and [[LiteralMinded flaps the wings on her arms]] as she replies, making a dramatic scene become unintentionally funny.

* When Katniss tries to defend Peeta from a leaping monkey muttation:

** The description makes it sound as if the monkey muttation was able to defy physics and fly through the air to dodge Katniss' knife. While the muttations are genetically modified, they shouldn't come straight out of a comic book.

* While escaping from the sewer, Cressida shouts out "I know a place." She means somewhere for them to hide but she says the line as they're still running up, [[CaptainObvious making it sound like she thinks they should go upstairs]].
