People Are Pointing Out "Unrealistic Things" That Always Appear In Movies, And Now I Can't Unsee Them,"Breakfast scenes in American shows or movies. The mom makes a big spread with pancakes, bacon and eggs, and all that stuff. Just for someone to pick up a slice of toast and rush off. I'd be super pissed."
People Are Pointing Out “Unrealistic Things” That Always Appear In Movies, And Now I Can’t Unsee Them
Reddit user u/Vaydn recently asked, “What isn’t like it is in the movies?” and the comments came flooding in!
Here are the top-voted responses:
1. “Ripping out your IV is a terrible idea.”
TLC—u/Far_Yam_9412“Also, how a patient can come out of the coma and leave the room to go find the person who wronged them, all WITHOUT alerting any nurse, doctor, or security…lol, what.”
—u/SapphirePineapple
2. “When they hack a computer and it’s like ‘Access denied.’ ‘Override.’ ‘Oh, ok. Since you put it that way. Access granted.’”
—u/DrewMacOrange
3. “Breakfast scenes in American shows or movies. The mom makes a big spread with pancakes, bacon and eggs, and all that stuff. Just for someone to pick up a slice of toast and rush off. I’d be super pissed.”
Warner Bros.—u/dizzycow84
4. “Carrying an unconscious person. I found out the hard way when my wife was sick and fainted. An unconscious body is surprisingly limp and slippery. Try to lift them by the armpits? Nope, that just makes the arms flail and they’ll slip right through your fingers. Try to lift them from under the knees and around the back? Nope, their back won’t stay stiff enough, and their ass will just sink to the floor. Not to mention their head is rolling around the whole time.”
—u/quickshot125
5. “Digging a grave. Soil is SO MUCH harder and heavier to move.”
CBS—u/vBeto
“It’s always so perfectly rectangle, with straight sides…dug by hand.”
—u/19snow16
6. “Car accidents. People don’t just lightly bleed from their heads then die. They are some of the goriest, most traumatic deaths I’ve seen.”
—u/sweetperdition
7. “Prison being exciting. A friend of mine told me that prison is unbelievably boring. He spent most of his time reading books.”
The CW—u/Hubsimaus
8. “A cough is not usually the sign of a terminal illness.”
—u/Fanfrenhag
9. “Driving. Unlike in the movies, you really have to pay attention to the road. Parking, too. It’s very rare to get a space just outside where you need to be.”
CBC—u/LennoxLuger
10. “In movies they never say ‘goodbye’ on the phone; they just hang up.”
—u/MorningLineDirt
“They also never say when or where for the meet-ups, either.”
—u/mssheevaa
11. “Basically, everything about guns. Drywall and furniture don’t stop bullets. Also, reloading is a thing.”
Universal Pictures—u/Drakeman1337
“Also, people not having their eardrums absolutely obliterated after having assault rifles and shotguns going off half a meter from their head.”
—u/bffffs
12. “Walking into a bar and the news is showing a story about your exact situation.”
—u/drink-beer-and-fight
“‘Hey, are you watching the news?’ and then the other person turns on the TV, and the reporter just so happens to be explaining everything from the beginning.”
—u/Alas7ymedia
13. “Waking up. You do NOT wake up fully refreshed, dressed, hair done, and the blankets are still neat on the bed.”
Sony Pictures—u/llcucf80
14. “Taking matters into your own hands to defeat an entire group of criminals.”
—u/GeneralSpectatorTots
15. “CPR. The chances of someone recovering from chest compressions and breaths alone are very slim. The character always ‘comes to’ or is revived right when all the other doctors (except for one) gives up.”
Warner Bros.“It’s the critical intervention of a defibrillator that actually gives the casualty the greatest chance of survival.”
—u/carargyle
16. “Going through glass. That shit is dangerous as hell. Potential major lacerations every time. Speaking from my experience.”
—u/nas_deferens
17. “Foreplay. All they do is rip off each other’s clothes and slam each other into the walls.”
Sony Pictures—u/cutelyaware
“Oh yes! Yes! Throw everything on the floor! Yes, yes! Break all the furniture! YES! Show me how you throw those plates on the ground! Proceeds to orgasm.”
—u/ZaphodB_
18. “They remove the headrests from cars in movies so you can see the actor better.”
—u/Kent_Knifen
19. “Blackjack dealers are not sleight of hand masters with the ability to magic up wins. They are as surprised at the cards coming out as anyone.”
Universal Pictures—u/Captainjock
20. “People who are teachers or have low-paying jobs owning massive homes or luxurious apartments in cities like NYC or San Francisco.”
—u/Beastlysolid
And finally…
21. “I found the Air Bud series really set unrealistic standards for dogs.”
Keystone Pictures—u/Lucky-Particular3796
