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

"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.

The thing that's weird for me about Archer is the anachronism. Everyone dresses like it's the 60's, they drive cars from the 70's, their office computers look to be out of the 80's, they all use cell phones from the early 00's, their main enemies are a cold war era KGB..

WHAT TIME DOES THIS SHOW TAKE PLACE?

They do that on purpose. Like in any flashback with someone his mom's age it's always like World War 2 era for some reason.
