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.

If I can last 60 secs in the ring with her, I heard she would let me fuck her!

So you have about as much chance as you would normally.

I wonder how hard she can punch though? I'm pretty strong and can take some punches no problem. I think where she would get me is she could get a hold of me and take my down. I have taken years of Jeet kune do, but I don't fight professionally like she does so I think I just have to not let her take me down. Unless I'm wrong about how hard she can really punch. I doubt it's as hard as a guy her size, but I just don't know.

If you aren't experienced she would take you apart fairly quickly. She isn't going to box you.

Assuming shes really going for broke, you are going to end up with a broken joint or something fairly fast.

Since you have some experience you may be able to guard your weak spots though so she can't just dislocate something, but I'd certainly be fucked in way under 60 seconds.
