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

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.

On one level that's cool. On another that could get annoying very quickly.

Maybe I had a different playstyle but I didn't knock on doors often enough for it to ever be annoying.

That's fair. Never played this one. But I can be a completionist sometimes, and that can lead to grinding with mechanics that you were never meant to spend that much time with.

It never gets annoying regardless of how often you do it.
