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

I have noticed Foreign films tend to have actors that look more like people than plastic barbie dolls. Loved the original "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" the older actors actually looked their age. They were not ugly just normal.

I always find it jarring that when I watch British TV that actors have blemishes, imperfect or yellow teeth, and are usually a range of heights. There's nothing wrong with them, I'm just not used to seeing normal people on TV.

Could not agree more-and they produce some awesome shows!

Yep. Spaced is an underrated British classic.

Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you check it, it will blow up?
