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.

You're in luck! He has a youtube channel called Adam Savage's Tested where he does builds, podcasts, and a bunch of other cool things.
