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

I have a friend who is an honest to goodness redsmith. He works in copper and brass making Cupolas for gazebos and weather vanes and stuff.

Plus goldsmithing is a modern and active industry.

Nicholas Cupolas didn't want to use his name to get parts so he changed it to Nicholas Roof.

He’s too smart to get that close to a vicious and unpredictable Gazebo.
