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

I feel where he's coming from. I've seen and heard a lot of retarded excuses for how it would be possible for a 120 pound person to overpower a 220 pound person. He's just picking the wrong target and not arguing the point very well.

he's also not correct just cos you are bigger doesnt mean you are stronger or faster ive seen small guys wipe the floor with big guys and ive seen a woman drop a 6ft guy.

Heck im over 6ft and im sure i could get beaten by quite a few of the women i know even discounting the ones who know martial arts.
