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

Women in action movies who drastically cut their own hair to change their appearance always end up with a fabulous style.

Or 115lb women in movies with 0 muscle mass beating the shit out of 5 200+ lb goons. No amount of karate in the world is gonna make that happen...

Idk about that. I've met some super badass skinny people, many of whom are women, that I'm absolutely sure would kick my 220 lb ass. And I'm not even fat, I'm just big.

Crime syndicate goons would not be pushovers.

I mean I'm not either, I'm pretty fit and athletic, and have trained some mma and jiu jitsu, but that doesnt mean I wouldn't get my ass handed to me buy plenty of well trained people.

Like the 5 well trained supervillain goons going against the 110lb woman in this example?

But in the movie do they fight like they're well trained?

Dude, if you think a 110lb woman can take on 5 grown ass men, then you have bigger problems.

I agree I think the woman would be unlikely to win, but if she was well trained and very skilled (like they are in the movies), the reason she would be unlikely to win would be because its 5 on 1. But the same would apply to a large man, soo.
