Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

    Getting knocked out for a length of time after being hit on the head is likely going to cause pretty significant brain injury or death.

    CPR is so hilariously bad and completely against what is taught in even first aid classes. This includes hospital based medical dramas.

    If a man and woman consume alcohol, there’s an 80% chance that it’s about to transition into a sex scene.

    Explosions release a crazy amount of fire. In reality explosions are violently expanding gases with almost no flame seen.

    Defibrillators. They don’t start a heart that is stopped. They stop arrhytmias and give the body a chance to return to a normal rhythm.

    Gear changes in cars. Any car racing or high speed chase these cars are always accelerating and changing through endless gears despite being on a long straight.

    Except Ronin, Ronin does it well since the chase is in the city and they’re always slowing to avoid objects turn down alleyways etc so going through the gears over and over actually makes sense!

    One I read about once.

    Bonking people over the head to knock them out.

    If you manage to hit them hard enough to actually put them out like that, they are likely bleeding internally and going to die without immidiate hospital care. Maybe even die anyway.

      Passwords can be guessed.

      You would be shocked how often they can be.

      Season plus year with a ! Is still very common.

    People getting shot or killed. In reality, they don’t die instantly. They will act more surprised, then the panic sets in as they realise what happened and the pain sets in. They will cry for help as they slowly bleed out. It will take minutes. But that doesn’t look good on the screen. Some movies did parody this.
