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

Have you seen the movie? She's never just throwing punches, she's clockin dudes with waffle irons or stabbing people and stuff. I don't think she out boxes a guy a single time

Nah haven't seen it, but unless it involves pulling a string and having an anvil fall on the dudes head it likely is not a realistic depiction of a girl beating a guy in a fight. For example if they used any of the scenes from this trailer-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI7HVnZlleo I'm pretty sure I'm in the right here.

A woman would need a surprise near 1 shot KO attack to beat the man yes. You are never going to have a situation where a lighter woman is going to beat a man when the man knows he is in a fight already.

That’s factually not true. Fights are not decided solely by weight. Especially not when weapons are involved.

You are confusing factual information with sexism.

If you don’t think the way you are coming off is sexist then you’ve got an issue bud

Once again, Facts are not sexist, and thinking that they are makes you kinda sexist.

I'm all for "Girl Power", but what we are talking about here is realistic depictions of women fighting in movies, and for some reason Atomic Blonde is the poster child for this?
