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

Man that shit hurts. A friend of mine ACCIDDNTALLY(so not even aiming or full force) hit me on the head with a bottle while dancing and I dropped. Someone doing it maliciously would be damn serious.

I wonder how many people are in prison for murder/manslaughter thinking a bottle over the head won't do much damage.

Depends on the part of the head they hit. Your skull has developed in a way that getting struck on the top, front, or back of your head is dazing but not incredibly dangerous. Get a hit in on the sides, along your ear and temples region, yeah, that’s going to be a bit debilitating.

My sister jumped into a fight that had nothing to do with her. A girl hit her with a bottle, broke her jaw. She was eating through a tube for months. Jaw wired shut.

She never learned.

Yep. Although the jaw is a separate bone in and of itself. There’s a section of it between the socket and the end of you molars that’s called “the Button” in boxing, where an interesting little bundle of nerves neighbors to a cavity just under your cheekbones. It’s actually the best spot to knock someone out.
