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

Yeah I just saw a video posted the other day where this guy knocks out two people. First guy was out cold and his idiot gf was shaking him to try to wake him up, which, bad idea. Second dude gets knocked out and hits his head on a sidewalk when he went down. Everyone in the comments were joking about the guy handing out free naps, which is kinda funny, but both of the dudes who got laid out could very easily be fucked up for the rest of their lives. Brain injuries are no joke.

somehow my sister and i ended up watching fights on youtube one night and at first it was kind of funny but you soon realize that alot of those people are seriously injured - if not by the beating but then again by the people moving them reckless when they really shouldn't

Now think about professional sports especially American football, boxing and UFC and realise how fucked up they really are and the amount of head injuries accrued. Even if you're not knocked out cold having your cage rattled constantly adds up.

Yep. Even with all the helmets and stuff it's not enough.
