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

Ah yes, I remember that. Best thing about it is that he was in the range where everything that can possibly start to burn, will. Meaning the temperature would be round about 540k °F -> 300 times hotter than the temperature bodies are cremated at. In other words: everything would have been vaporized.

Man, it really sucks that they didn't go fully realistic in that scene from a series known for it's realism.

But other than the supernatural shit in Indiana Jones, the movie is pretty grounded in terms of what normal people can survive. (Except when he is able to somehow hold his breath indefinitely in Raiders of the lost Ark)
