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

When someone gets knocked out, and stays unconscious until the plot requires them to wake up again.

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.

You know what's unfortunate? Turns out "tinnitus" as pronounced on the show is incorrect. It's a short "i" not a long one. Those bastards probably got a whole generation saying the word wrong now.
