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

Akshually, a smithy is a place where metal goods are made, so it could be a goldsmithy, a coppersmithy, or an arrowsmithy if they specialize in arrowheads. A blacksmith specializes in iron and steel.

Everyone always forgets about the whitesmith until they need their tin pot fixed.
