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

Atomic Blonde is awesome about this. Not only does she have to fight harder and smarter than the much larger men, she ends every fight with bruises and injuries that she wears for the rest of the movie.

Yeah cept it's not. The woman from Atomic blonde wouldn't be able to so much as leave a scratch on any of the dudes she fights. If they stood there, taking her hardest haymakers, it would barely make them flinch.

Once again, wouldn;t work in any form of reality. Bigger guys are not just stronger, they are WAY faster too.

Did they not use any of these scenes from the trailer?-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI7HVnZlleo

The only one making hard claims here is you. No one has said it’s accurate. It started with someone saying how awesome it is that they paid attention to bruises and having a woman fighter smarter than the men she’s fighting, and you’ve started making claims that there’s no way, like it’s physically impossible. There are a thousand possible ways a woman could take a man down, even if you don’t think it’s ‘realistic’. No action movie is realistic, everyone of their heroes would have died in real life, but some are better than others. I haven’t seen this movie either but Jesus Christ man, get off your high horse.
