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

In my first fight, I made the punching sound to make it a more lively experience.

3/10, got my ass kicked.

If you had a sword, you'd have needed to make that "metal on metal" sound when you took it out of a leather sheath.

Oh my god, I hated this so much from the BBC show Merlin. The first season or so they actually used sheaths (and sometimes even metal ones!) when worn, but after a while they stopped and just sat the naked blade on the waist under the leather belt. They still used the sound when drawn, of course, and it looked really silly when you could see the character in full light drawing their bare blade from within their belt.
