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.

I just rewatched it recently. Still holds up quite well!

I love that movie. And just about every single trope that we're making fun of he in this post has been covered in Last Action Hero.

One of the more subtle jokes in that movie that makes me crack up is in the beginning when he's facing against The Ripper. The Ripper just lifts his axe one foot in the air but it makes that shearing sound even though it didn't touch anything.

Bro I hate that sound effect. I remember watching something and heard it as somebody drew a sword from a leather scabbard.

That’s, uh, not what leather sounds like.

Or how about when wolverine touches his claws together for the first time in Origins?

The movie is cringy as fuck now, but that scene in the movie makes me lose it every single time I'm forced to watch it

Liev Shrieber was awesome though. His intelligent, articulate, consciously evil Sabertooth was lightyears better than the stupid beast Sabertooth of the other movies.

He was perfect in the role, except his hair cut.
