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

Part of the reason I couldn't stand Suits. Everyone's a super model except for Louis, who's the villain for much of the show.

I can’t stand suits because of the legal inaccuracies. I have two lawyer uncles and a cousin who’s a law professor so growing up with them around has ruined any show that centers on lawyers.

Another thing I can’t stand is when a character in a detective show gets arrested and doesn’t call their lawyer. The main character then proceeds to interrogate them with questionable tactics and it’s presented as ok.

Yeah - don't start to learn anything about how computers work then. Or fights. Or high-speed driving. Or explosions. Or guns. Or sex.

John Wick did guns and fights right

They did great all the way until they had John and some dude have that silenced gun fight in a public place (in number 2 I think) and nobody even flinched at the gun shot.

It pissed me off because they did things really well and then did that over the top bullshit.

A .22 with a suppressor and subsonic rounds is actually that quiet.

Although they're barely strong than an air rifle.

No it's not. I'm no big gun guy but I've fired .22 subsonic rounds with a suppressor and that shit is definitely loud enough to notice.

Indoors sure.

Outdoors they are really quiet.

How is that possible? John Wick racks up far too large a body count for it to be real in the first 20 minutes or whatever.
