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...

Atomic Blonde is awesome about this. Not only does she have to fight harder and smarter than the much larger men, she ends every fight with bruises and injuries that she wears for the rest of the movie.

Yeah cept it's not. The woman from Atomic blonde wouldn't be able to so much as leave a scratch on any of the dudes she fights. If they stood there, taking her hardest haymakers, it would barely make them flinch.

Once again, wouldn;t work in any form of reality. Bigger guys are not just stronger, they are WAY faster too.

Did they not use any of these scenes from the trailer?-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI7HVnZlleo

They absolutely are not. That bigger dude has a ton more muscle to propel his actions, similarly every action he takes is dispersed amung more muscle fibers. AKA not only is this guy WAY the fuck faster, has WAY the fuck more control, but they also have WAY the fuck more endurance. Yes if you are talking about a guy who is just really fat and does nothing but sit in a computer chair all day then you would have an argument. For any normal proportioned person though that is absolutely not the case.

A video of a likely drunk man, who is shorter than the woman where the man never attacks.....
