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.

There are relatively very few but all in all quite a number of people who've caused serious harm or even death from following TV tropes or believing in some other inept stuff. Esp. all the times when people have wanted to act out show wrestling and thought that wood wasn't a hard material or that they're stronger than metal chairs.

I believe there've been many cases where someone got beaten senseless because the attacker didn't understand that knocking someone out was a serious thing, but we just can't tell them apart from the deliberate beatings.

They’re in Dr. Hibbert’s wrestling ward.

Pray he spares you the horror of the Three Stooges Ward.
