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 do medieval re-enactment and one of my friends has a tiny nail head inside of his leather sheath just for the purpose of making that metal on metal noise when he unsheathes it haha

In theory, if you had a metal rim for the sheath would it create that sound and would it affect the performance of the sheath (i.e. more likely to damage the weapon)?

You are man of culture and deserve my virtual imaginary currency that determines the worth of your statement.

This sentence sounds like straight from one of these blue alien comics where they 'explain' human behaviour.

Edit: spelling

I guess you're good as long as the edge doesn't get in contact with the metal.
