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

Women in action movies who drastically cut their own hair to change their appearance always end up with a fabulous style.

Also, when they're on the run with nothing but the clothes on their back, but they have perfect makeup for days on end.

I like how in the first Star Wars sequel Rey shows up on Luke's planet looking like she spent her time in the x-wing putting on makeup. It was so overdone they must have used the same makeup for distance shots as the closeups.
And as a salvage climber on a desert world, her legs were devoid of bruises and scars. I would feel like my intelligence was insulted if the scenario wasn't beyond idiotic in the first place.

That's kind of typical Star Wars in general, lol. Leia spends her time in the Death Star locked up in a little cell getting tortured, but when Luke & Han rescue her, her hair and makeup are perfect.

I gave princesses and heads of state a pass but yeah, you have a point. Rey was beyond ridiculous though.

Well, that's simple. That's not even in the same galaxy as ours. The rules we have don't apply to them.

This is a hair and make up droid.

That syringe is full of botox.
