“Digging Graves In Wooded Areas”: 50 Fake Things That Happen In Films That Annoy Audiences

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.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Magical cures. We all know that all disabilities and chronic illnesses are cured the instant someone falls in love with us, right? That's why eHarmony opened all those hospitals! Love cures *everything*!

I get it. I do. But I've been told the 'willing suspension of disbelief' is essential to truly enjoy theater, movies, television and books. I like that. Gives you permission to ignore the the b******t stuff.

Yeah, if these were all shot to be 100% accurate then it'd take a 3 hour epic for the character just to get up and go to work in the morning. Sure, some of it is just plain dumb, but the rest? Jus t accept some shortcuts that illustrate bigger concepts and just let the story move on.

This doesn't annoy me ... [TRIGGER WARNING: blood, death and violence] but people might be surprised how little blood there can be in a very sudden death, even a very traumatic death. Living people bleed a lot, so do dying people. Dead people, not so much. It's sometimes surprisingly ... clean's not the right word, but you get the idea. Likewise, horror movies etc go to a lot of trouble making the corpse look real. In my experience, real corpses look surprisingly fake to me. It could just be that my mind rejects reality for a bit, but I've found that bodies and body parts just look really fake somehow. And before you ask, I used to be on a team that investigated industrial accidents.

There are some films that are extremely realistic but are not popular because people found them boring. Fast and Furious is very popular but has little to no reality or physics in it. The producers follow what the audience likes.

Fast and Furious reminds me of how I played with my toys when I was a kid. Can a car turn in mid air while making an impossible jump? Oh you bet it can!
