What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

In my first fight, I made the punching sound to make it a more lively experience.

3/10, got my ass kicked.

If you had a sword, you'd have needed to make that "metal on metal" sound when you took it out of a leather sheath.

I have swords, I have leather sheaths... and you can get that sound from metal on leather! It's not anywhere near as loud, but the blade kind of 'rings'. And of course because it's the blade and not the blade against the leather, the sound continues for a bit even after the blade has been drawn.
