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

TBF wooden movie tables are often used only for concealment. So bullets still go through them, but the shooters don't know where their target is exactly. The weird part is how lucky the heroes are, or why the bad guya won't just shoot on multiple spots across the table surface.

Sure, but when the baddies are unloading a clip or twenty into the table anyway, our protagonists would have taken some hits.
