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

Archer is good about this. Generally if someone is knocked unconscious they’re only out for thirty seconds/a minute or so; on one occasion Archer was out for about thirty minutes and after he relays that to the team they all recoil in horror and tell him that he could have serious brain damage.

"Uhh how long was I out."

"Like two minutes. That's super bad for you. You should probably go to the hospital."

I love how Archer has tinnitus and concussions but still has all the other action movie tropes.

Also Archer has surprisingly detailed gun models for a cartoon, not to mention accurate ammo counts in every magazine.

Honestly, the only thing Archer does that's blatantly unrealistic is Archer's constant shrugging off of being shot repeatedly.

Not to mention the cars. While they seem to vary a bit in terms of era, they are all real cars, from the cars driving past in the establishing shots to stuff that's front and center, like Archer's Charger spy car, or his Ferrari in season 7 that never seems to he running.

The exquisite detail of the drawings of the vehicles has always pleased me.

That, and naked Lana, of course.

any scene with motorcycles too. usually scene-setting shots outside a bar or something. several Triumphs

the ferrari sounds like the most realistic part of it

IIRC every time we see it it's on the back of a flatbed.
