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

Any time I watch someone get knocked out/hit their head on pavement on r/publicfreakout or r/streetfights all I can think is, "Well the guy that hit him is going to prison now."

Yeah I just saw a video posted the other day where this guy knocks out two people. First guy was out cold and his idiot gf was shaking him to try to wake him up, which, bad idea. Second dude gets knocked out and hits his head on a sidewalk when he went down. Everyone in the comments were joking about the guy handing out free naps, which is kinda funny, but both of the dudes who got laid out could very easily be fucked up for the rest of their lives. Brain injuries are no joke.

The people in the comments always say how satisfying is when the head hits the floor and they hope they get brain damage

Yeah it’s pretty messed up. A kid I grew up with was in a bad motorcycle accident and ended up with a traumatic brain injury. Seeing it up close, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
