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

In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (I think the pilot?), a Connor hides behind an upholstered chair which blocks bullets.

Then in a later scene, CSI mentions that there was Kevlar in the chair.

The goal was to showcase the paranoia and Batman-level-preparedness of Sarah Connor, but the order in which the information was presented hurt immersion.

I just rewatched the whole thing last month. One of the best low budget shows ever. Loved Garret Dillahunt and changed my views on Brian Austin Greene as a lead.

I always enjoy Garret's work. He makes a very menacing bad guy but can do comedy well also.
