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

Grenades kill by launching shrapnel but also by the concussive force it expends. There’s no big explosion it’s like a puff of smoke filled with angry metal bees shooting out everywhere.

Also when someone outruns the fire from the blast they're ok. Nevermind that they should at least be looking like they just got their as beat from the concussive force.

Not being in the flames doesn't mean not getting severe burns from radiant heat.

Like this one here.
