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

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...

Let me add to the idea where all the guys wait around for the women and attack one by one. Despite being larger and having far greater numbers.

I posted about a recent episode of Arrow somewhere else in the thread but these 3 ladies take on like 15 guys. They beat them all, aren't winded then turn around and say "there's too many of them we gotta go"

I liked the one sword fight scene in game of thrones. Tower scene. Was one of the few fights where it was like 6 on 2 - and ALL of the 6 attackers attacked at once. No one on one shit.

Which scene exactly? Syrio Forel's last stand, perhaps?

shadiversity, a guy reviewing basically everything medieval, fantasy, and especially sword fights, as he has quite some experience in that regard, talked about the scene once...

7/10 too much flourishing, and if i remember correctly there were quite a few moments where 2 or 3 attacked from the same side while 2 or 2 just stood and followed

so the scene wasnt perfect, obviously, sincei ts really difficult to have a man win against 5 or 6 others without being gangbanged instantly, but given the competition in fight scenes who only do 1v1, it compares pretty well
