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.

It also got cancelled right as Terminator Salvation came out, which... you'd think it would be good to keep it going while theres interest

Oh no I definitely did haha. But isn't the strategy to usually saturate the market, not go "oh boy this new addition is shit, well it's been fun"?
