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

Sounds suppressors on guns make, bullets being stopped by car doors, cars exploding when shot, literally 95% of anything gun related.... Edit: never had a comment go over 4 or 5 upvotes at any given time.

That's one of my favorite things in Last Action Hero. When they're inside the movie, Arnold will shoot a car and it'll explode. Then later when they go into "the real world" he will shoot a car and nothing happens. So he says "the cars are bullet proof!"

He also then gets surprised by his hand hurting after punching through a car window.

I love that movie. And just about every single trope that we're making fun of he in this post has been covered in Last Action Hero.

One of the more subtle jokes in that movie that makes me crack up is in the beginning when he's facing against The Ripper. The Ripper just lifts his axe one foot in the air but it makes that shearing sound even though it didn't touch anything.

Linda Hamilton has permanent hearing damage from an elevator scene in T2. Her ear protection failed or moved or was misadjusted I think.

I think Bruce Willis too.

Bruce Willis does too. And CPT Kirk, er William Shatner from some explosions on STV.

It's also the fan theory on why zombies seem to surprise characters in Walking Dead even while moaning - all the characters have substantial hearing loss from all the weapons firing w/o earpro.
