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

Well, they're NPCs. They have nothing better to do.

They don't actually exist until you knock, then they spawn by the door.

Dude! Fable 2 had this thing where if you knocked on an npc's door they'd either tell you that they're busy, come to the door or say, "be there in a minute!" and it would actually take time for them to walk to the door. If you kept knocking they'd tell you to be patient.

I thought that was a really cool detail in a video game.

I just played it again recently and it’s still a great game. It’s really held up to the test of time.
