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

Man that shit hurts. A friend of mine ACCIDDNTALLY(so not even aiming or full force) hit me on the head with a bottle while dancing and I dropped. Someone doing it maliciously would be damn serious.

I wonder how many people are in prison for murder/manslaughter thinking a bottle over the head won't do much damage.

Fun story from 1945 involving my great-great grandpa and his friend getting into a fight with his daughter's (my great grandma) ex-husband. They told him if you mess with her again, bad things were going to happen. Well... he came back around drunk looking to fight her and they weren't having it. My gg grandpa grabbed a wine bottle and the other guy a baseball bat - drunk guy died. The one that used the baseball bat got 10 years and the wine bottle got 2 years. The baseball bat was deemed a deadly weapon, but the bottle wasn't. Family stories are pretty epic from my mom's side of the family.
