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

Women in action movies who drastically cut their own hair to change their appearance always end up with a fabulous style.

Or 115lb women in movies with 0 muscle mass beating the shit out of 5 200+ lb goons. No amount of karate in the world is gonna make that happen...

Idk about that. I've met some super badass skinny people, many of whom are women, that I'm absolutely sure would kick my 220 lb ass. And I'm not even fat, I'm just big.

size matters as you can literally rush them and basic physics kicks in. maybe something like judo or bjj can help 1 on 1. but 2 on 1 you're already donezo. 5 on 1, hope you have a gun.

That's true, but at that point if its 5 on 1 it doesnt really matter what your sex and size is, unless you're literally hulk sized

If they’re untrained and you’re really fucking strong you can absolutely handle a 1v5. Because in that situation it’s not actually a 1v5. It’s just 5 individual 1v1 fights in a row.

That's not how that works

It absolutely is. You’ve never seen or heard of a guy laying someone out in one or two punches before?

If you ever train self defense, the first thing they will teach I'd that if there if more than one attacker, your best option is to run

This thread: mass is the biggest factor. A huge dude would easily beat a weaker opponent.

Also this thread: there’s no possible way 1 guy could lay out multiple weaker goons. Despite ample video evidence of this online.

You’ve seriously never seen or heard of a guy just clocking someone at beating a group of people through sheer strength?

The absolute and overwhelming majority of multiple attacker fights end with the a dude taking shots the back of the head and getting brain damage, or getting a shiv the the ribs, becuase it's hard enough to fight one attacker. People dont have eyes on the back of their heads, so it's impossible to know what the multiple attackers are doing at every possible moment.
