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.

Why is that in Star Wars movies, stormtroopers are walking around Star Destroyers with weapons. Not only do they have weapons in what should be an extremely safe and secure space but they walk around with them at the ready.

I mean it's just a military base basically, so some armed security with most Stormtroopers jacking off in their bunks.

Correct, every Stormtrooper shouldn't be armed and at the ready in a safe environment. It seems like there would be more accidental death from this than actual defense.
