According to Hollywood, we can all survive a crazy car crash and walk away with just a scratch on us. In fact, we might even be able to take a bullet and avoid going to the hospital at all. But having a 5 minute long conversation that could easily resolve a misunderstanding and allow us to skip the rest of the film’s plot? Nope, we can’t have that!

Cinephiles on Reddit have been discussing unrealistic things that happen in films that they’re tired of, so you’ll find their most spot-on thoughts below. Enjoy reading through these moments that always require suspension of disbelief, and be sure to upvote the ones you’ve seen enough of too!

“Digging Graves In Wooded Areas”: 50 Fake Things That Happen In Films That Annoy Audiences Whenever some idiot is running on foot while being chased by a car that's trying to run them down, they without fail ALWAYS run straight down the middle of the street, when all they have to do is simply run off to the side where there's trees and lamp-posts and plenty of other s**t to block them from getting hit.

In that case, I always root for whoever's driving.

“Digging Graves In Wooded Areas”: 50 Fake Things That Happen In Films That Annoy Audiences Setting off Fire Alarm / Fire Sprinklers.

1. Pulling a fire alarm will not activate fire sprinklers

2. Setting off a single sprinkler head will not set off the entire system. Each fire sprinkler has either a glass bulb with heat sensitive liquid or a metal fusible link. You need to essentially break the bulk/link on each individual sprinkler to allow the water to flow.

3. The water leaving the sprinkler system will be black from the years of corrosion that occurs inside due to the stagnant water, you do not want to be around this water when it comes out.

I design these systems, I know how this s**t works.

One of my favorite scenes is in a film called Romancing the Stone starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Turner's character is lost in Columbia and has to rely on Douglas for help. The first thing he does is take his machete to the heels of her shoes, cuts the heels off and hands them back to her and says "Follow me".

As a type 1 diabetic myself, this has got to be the worst thing shown on TV, I even complained to the BBC once when they showed this exact thing on an episode of Causalty, the person who they showed as having a Hypo was given an insulin shot and miraculously recovered, no checks on Blood Glucose were done to check what the issue was, just immediate insulin shot. In reality if someone is presenting ANY diabetic symptoms it is far better to give them something with sugar in it, and call for an ambulance, if they're already going Hyperglycaemic then the extra sugar will not make much difference and the paramedics/hospital will be able to get them back where they should be, if they're going low (Hypoglycaemia) then the sugar will bring their blood glucose levels back up and save their life. Unless you are the one responsible for giving someone their insulin doses, NEVER give them a shot, you do not know how they will react, just leave it to the professionals.

Not to mention (this from my husband, Vietnam Vet, Special Forces, who also had his share of fist fights back in the day), that the fights, and number of punches landed, would be more than an average human could take. He said that even a couple fist punches solidly landed to the head would definitely knock a person out and possibly kill them. In movies it’s repeated punches to head and stomach and they jump right up and go on to save the day!

People sneaking-around inside air ducts. Don't get me wrong, in big buildings you absolutely can walk around in there, i've done it a lot, but: 1) they're dirty as sin, not gleaming metal 2) There are screws poking in there and sharp edges everywhere 3) There are lots of barriers to movement, fans, filters, humidifiers, dampers and fire dampers. all of those would stop your progress 4) it's not a quiet process, that metal bongs and klunks like crazy under your weight

Or the sound of crickets chirping. I've heard this several illogical times on shows/films. Really, it's Valentine's Day in Wisconsin and crickets are chirping outside? Valentine's Day is February 14th and it's too cold for crickets in Wisconsin during the month of February. Or, a couple is outside on a porch swing. Heavy coats, scarves and you can see their breath when they speak. Yet, there are crickets chirping. Are these professional crickets that are hired and kept warm just for the scene?

The way movies and TV shows handle the childbirth process kills me. It's always a pregnant woman going about her day before suddenly she either feels a very painful contraction or her water just simply breaks out of no where. In reality, contractions are a slower process. You have them for a long while before they actually get to the painful level. I know plenty of women who were in labor for days, some of them didnt even realize it was labor and thought they had the flu.

Also the way movies and TV shows portray newborn babies is hilarious. I've seen them use a literal six month old in place of a newborn and lemme tell you, those are two completely different stages.

My fav is in adventure movies that are just balls to the walls tense with c**p coming down on them when the main couple, who never knew one another before this, suddenly find time to make out and even find a place to “do the dirty deed”, whilst being wounded, with filthy and ripped up bloody clothes with a couple dozen bad guys two minutes away! Realistic? I like “sexy time” but I doubt I’d even be in the mood at a time like that!

I'm a journeyman blacksmith for a heritage town for background. I absolutely CANNOT stand blacksmithing scenes in film and TV. They NEVER get it right. I've seen people hit metal a few times, dunk it in the slag tub, then put it right back into the forge. Or when they take it right out of the forge, quench it completely, and then proceed to hammer it. There are times when specific areas need to be cooled as to not deform then during forging, but you never get rid of your whole heat then hammer the damn thing. Lastly, when a character puts their knife or blade in a fire to heat it up for a torture scene or intimidation or whatever, it drives me crazy. Completely ruins the temper on the blade. Anyway there is my blacksmith rant.

Doesn’t p**s me off, but as a paraplegic whenever someone in a movie is supposed to be disabled and they’re using some s****y fold-up wheelchair that you would see in a hospital or Walmart. Anyone who lives in a wheelchair and has some minimal insurance or medical assistance would have a much better chair. I’m currently sitting with about $4000 under my a*s. Paid about $500 after insurance. The only time someone would be using one of those s****y wheelchairs would be if they were recently injured or are temporarily injured.

When they give a person CPR and the person walks away unscathed. When you give proper CPR, you are essentially breaking ribs to pump the heart and sure, it doesn't happen to everyone but still see a doc after!

That, and anything medically related like Epi-pens being used then magically all normal. All of these require being looked at a doctor/emergency care directly afterward.

Agreed !! Also, as a smoker, I can not stand when the actor is not really smoking. I can always tell; either they're not inhaling or the editing is such that you never see the entire sequence of drag, inhale, exhale. Either have a someone who can really smoke play the part or have the character not be a smoker...I don't get it. (ಠ_ಠ) It just looks dumb and takes me out of the moment.

There is a phenomenon in Hollywood known as "laying pipe" (at least, I think that's the name). It's where characters go out of their way to explain something because you, the viewer, probably don't understand the process.

CSI was the worst at this. Example: CSI Miami, Calleigh walks in and Eric is using a red fingerprint powder to dust for prints.


Calleigh: But Eric, you won't get any usable prints
Eric: With the blue powder no, but I'm using red powder
Calleigh: Red powder?
Eric: Yeah, it's better at lifting prints off of porous surfaces


This kind of dialogue is a NIGHTMARE and it's everywhere, especially in procedurals. It always breaks me out of the immersion of a show when I realize it's happening. These people are professionals in their field.


Imagine the real life equivalent of two attorneys talking, both of whom went to law school and have been practicing for 20 years.

"I'm going to issue a subpoena."
"SUBPOENA? WHAT IS THAT?"
"It's a document that compels the witness to show up in court!"

People in real life use toothpaste when brushing their teeth.

Somehow there is ALWAYS a parking spot in front of the building you need to go in.

ALL building ventilation shafts are man-sized.

Most high-school kids do not call other high-school kids by their last name, "Hey, Johnson! Gonna beat you up after class."

Need a vital piece of information to solve a case...a convenient news cast will tell you about it.

A shot from a .38 special will not knock you 20' backwards.

And the **Chekhov's gun** is always so obvious: Main character gets a job in Mall Security. Early on there's a display of a motorcycle...yup, he's DEFINITELY going a chase someone, or run away from someone, on that same motorcycle in about 20 minutes.

Bella didn't have depression. She was a moody teenager. It's their default-setting when they're not angry-confrontative or snippishly righteous or over-the-moon silly giggling-y. Actually in that aspect, the movie wasn't that bad. They got the teenager-bbehavior pretty well.

And they do. Just watch real car chases, they usually end with the driver going straight at a freeway exit and rolling it, or wrapping it around a pole or tree. Only once I saw an absolute legend recover the car multiple times after the cops did the pit maneuver on his car. Each time he simply did a 360 and kept going straight. I have taken a few advanced lessons in Rally driving and I know how to recover from a spin like that, but a) it's not natural, we started on gravel, then wet asphalt, and then dry asphalt, and b) it needs to be practiced or you likely end up either transverse on the road or you roll the car. On the opposite end of the spectrum in the movies they are running from the law but they are drifting all the way. NEWSFLASH: by and large not-drifting is faster than drifting, except in certain type of turns.

Characters in period dramas complaining about corsets.

1) Half the time, it takes place in a period where corsets *weren’t invented yet*, so complaining about tightlacing doesn’t make any sense.

2) It’s about as accurate as a modern character complaining about the confines of a bra. There are absolutely people IRL who find bras uncomfortable, but most people wear them anyway because all our clothing assumes you’re wearing one and you need something to keep the badonkers in place. Corsets served a similar function, and so even people who found them uncomfortable would at least know how to wear them because of how ubiquitous they are.

THANK you. I'm big into historical fashion and this always annoys me. For example, an Elizabethan woman complaining/fainting due to corsets would NOT HAVE HAPPENED. Even the girl from Pirates of the Caribbean (i think more of a Georgian era there) would not have fainted. Corsets were not, as OP says, even invented back then. She was wearing stays, which are different; they aim for a conical silhouette rather than the hourglass of a corset. You couldn't even lace stays very tightly or they would break. Very inaccurate (great movie though).

It is a strange thing but when one writes dialogue and tries to make it sound natural with hesitations, filler words, ums and ahs, it does not "sound" natural when read. This may be because when we think we do not include those affectations. In other words, what we say does not perfectly reflect what we thought and vice versa.

Dr. Satnam Tsurutani : It looks like the neutrinos coming from the sun have mutated into a new kind of nuclear particle. They're heating up the earth's core and suddenly act like microwaves. 2012 is just a mess of bad science all over.

1. Where a witness Confesses on the stand
2. There’s sudden surprise prosecution evidence
3. Witnesses monologuing on the stand
4. Minimal hearsay objections.
5. So much forensic evidence.

Drives me batty.

It seems like a witness confesses on the stand in every old Perry Mason episode.

In British soaps (which are shite in general) everyone goes to the pub every day but no one ever gets drunk. They also order a pint, take 1 sip and then just leave.

Or they go to the 'caff' everytime they want a cup of tea like every kitchen in the UK doesn't have a kettle. Everyone always gets jobs in their cul-de-sac and no-one commutes to work. Like 'I need a job so I'd better ask at the pub and shop over the road, if they're not hiring then I don't know where else to look in this big city I live in.' 😆

Scenes on the back of military aircraft. It’s loud, you can’t have a casual conversation on the back of a C-130 or a C-17 without the aid of an avionics headset. You can talk on a C-17 while in flight without one but it’s going to be a difficult conversation without the headset. A C-130 requires active yelling from the pit of your diaphragm to be able to speak louder than the flight noise.

Also, people driving their private vehicles on a flight line. Nobody drives their motorcycle or their street car on a flight line without being obliterated by security forces or the MP’s.

When a character gets a full cup of a drink with a straw and they sip and it makes a slurping noise. Drinking through a straw doesn’t make a slurping sound until the near end of the drink.

Girls "unexpectedly" starting their periods and they made it super dramatic. Like they'll be at school or something and all of a sudden they start bleeding out from their crotch like someone just stabbed them and they're just sitting there like they have no idea, and everyone around them notices and it's whole embarrassing mess. Like no, that's not a thing, it's very unrealistic. Having accidents and spotting is a thing, but not like they make it in the movies.

No, but what is accurate is a lack of education for little girls that causes them to be terrified when they start bleeding for no reason. Especially in period pieces set before modern sex-ed.

If I'm not mistaken (of course it varies depending on the country), there may be situations where you need to take initiative, after everything is over (again, depending on the situation, I'm talking about sudden and emergency situations), you prepare a report and serve whatever punishment you have. Maybe you'll be rewarded, who knows.

Motorcycles. The are distinct engine sounds. Generally you have 2, 3 and 4 cylinder motorcycles and each engine configuration has a different sound. Seeing a Hollywood star tearing up a city on a hyper-naked but hearing the sound of a Harley v-twin pulls me right out of it.

Once the hands are bound, it does actually work quite well... especially if you insert a sock before taping... or... um... so I've heard... 🤐

Frantic typing, a whole bunch if code windows open on like 6 monitors, they press enter, sit back and the big company just drops dead. Like that is not even slightly what hacking looks like, usually you're just sat, typing up code for a few days maybe even weeks. I get you have to play it up for theatrics but HITMAN III shows an incredible hacker (who I forgot the name of) and while its unrealistic, it makes sense how she's just 1 person with a laptop.
