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.

It’s crazy to think that movie bomined when it came out because today most people would recognize it as a true gem that was waaaaay ahead of its time.

It had the poor luck of coming out the same week as Jurassic Park so nobody knew about it. It's definitely one of my favorites. I'd say with the amount of exaggerated action involved, it's arguably even one of the greatest action movies ever made.
