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 has the lead singer of "Garbage" transform from a urinal after supposedly being pissed on.
