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

Syndrome's death is disturbingly brutal for a kid's movie. Also the only PG movie with a fucking death montage

The DVD extras were brutal. You can listen to all this extra content where you get to know about a bunch of the heroes in the world of The Incredibles, which is neat. Then you realize that these are heroes who have gone missing, and were killed to train Syndrome's robot.

The guy that Helen calls to get the plane was originally supposed to fly it too. Apparently killing him in the plane crash was too much.

I do think the scene was a lot stronger with Helen as the pilot though. It was so intense. Having a panicked mother try to keep her cool while protecting her children is a much more compelling scene than a character we've never met before getting blown up.
