According to Hollywood, you’ll be totally fine if you jump out of a moving car. Maybe you’ll get a few scrapes. Babies come out of the womb perfectly clean and looking three months old, and hacking into a government database only requires smashing a keyboard for a few seconds.

We all know movies aren’t real life, but sometimes, they could try a little bit harder to be realistic. Reddit users have recently been discussing moments in films that cause them to seriously suspend their disbelief, so you’ll find their most spot-on replies below. Enjoy scrolling through, and keep reading to hear from the man who started this conversation in the first place, as well as film critic and founder of Every Movie Has A Lesson, Don Shanahan!

“Uh, It Doesn’t Work Like That”: 40 Unrealistic Movie Moments That Require Viewers To Suspend Their Disbelief In the disaster movies people don’t hoard toilet paper.

We reached out to the Reddit user who started this conversation in the first place, u/czp55 or Ryan, and lucky for us, he was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. As far as what inspired him to ask this question, the OP shared that he's been over-analyzing media for as long as he can remember.

"I had watched one film in particular that day which prompted the question, but I honestly can’t remember what it was now," he noted. "Could have been one of the Fast and Furious movies, but I might be wrong. I definitely never expected the question to pick up activity the way it did. I had to silence notifications for a while."

    We also asked Ryan which scenes he always has a hard time taking seriously in TV shows and films. "As a Software Engineer by profession, I’ll go with almost any scene with a 'computer expert' in it showing off their 'skills,'" he says. "There were several great comments to that effect in the thread which explain the problems with those scenes much better than I could."

    On the other hand, we also asked the OP if he could share any films that he appreciates for how surprisingly realistic they are. "This movie is fantastic for many reasons, but I loved the unexpected depiction of iterative design in How to Train Your Dragon, when Hiccup is creating a replacement tail fin for Toothless," Ryan shared.

    "The first few times he tries, he runs into problems, which he designs around before trying again. He eventually figures out he needs unique positions for different maneuvers before having a complete working product," the OP explained. "There was a surprising amount of experimenting and redesigning for a fictional, animated movie. Contrast that with most movies treating first generation prototypes as flawless artifacts that work perfectly."

    I add defibrillation systematically administered on asystole (flat trace)! This is totally absurd since the defibrillator is so called because it is only used during fibrillation (ventricular). In semi-automatic mode, it is impossible to shock a patient into asystole. And even in manual mode, there is no chance that his heart will restart if the shock occurs during a flat route. Yet we see this in all films, even those dealing with internal medicine or emergencies...

    Ryan shared that he actually posted the question shortly after he started writing his first novel several years ago. "It certainly helped motivate me to do my fair share of research for certain aspects of my story, and I hope it’s better for it," he told Bored Panda. "I published the novel in 2022, and I’m working to publish the sequel soon. Having delved into the art of writing a fair bit more now, I can confidently say that, for fiction at least, we all generally want realism to take a backseat to effective storytelling."

    "There was one comment that mentioned unnaturally perfect dialogue without stuttering or pauses for instance, which is absolutely true, but depending on the genre and tone of the story, the audience may appreciate the efficiency of the dialogue to allow time for other things," he went on to explain. "Still, even when we appreciate the trade-off, it’s always great fun to harp on everything stories get wrong!"

    To gain even more insight on this topic, we also reached out to film expert Don Shanahan, founder and writer of Every Movie Has a Lesson. Don shared that, aside from being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic, he's also a fifth grade school teacher by day. "That makes me notice movies have inaccuracies or impossible conveniences that take place in school settings," he told Bored Panda. "For example, there are so many movies (Back to the Future, the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, Ender's Game) where outside, non-active student characters somehow just infiltrate a school and wander the hallways undetected or unstopped by school personnel."

    This is correct for "I americký actively trying to kill you" sword fighting. Which is what they are trying to present in The shows. But for The stage sword fights or reenactment it is, exactly like dance. You Need counting, tempo, precise choreography si it looks cool but you do NOT kill each other. Basically The fightchoreographers should use their routine and techniques from stage fighting to máme it look like unpredictible "killing" fighting, but... It is, hard. Classic form over substance fight (punc intended).

    "In today's day and age, especially in this sensitive era of school shootings, visitor security protocols would never let that happen," Don explained. "That and the staff know everyone. No stranger would get through without getting spotted and questioned by even the most low-level school employee."

    "Another school setting inaccuracy are those moments when a big speech scene that interrupts a school event is allowed to happen with all kinds of bystanders," the film expert continued. "Take the big graduation public confessional that goes down at the end of Crazy, Stupid Love. The number of school staff members or witnessing parents would squelch and shun those moments in a heartbeat."

    EpiPen usage!! You HAVE to call the ambulance or rush to the hospital after administering it. EpiPen’s are not a magical fix they simply buy you enough time to get to medical care.

    We also wanted to know if Don ever has a hard time taking scenes seriously, when he knows they're extremely unrealistic. "I tend to pride myself on suspending my disbelief and letting things play out," he shared. "In most cases, those examples I'm talking about are done with humor where the fish-out-of-water or public spotlight circumstances make for good laughs. I may chalk them up to lazy research or uninspired screenwriting, but they don't take me out of the movie like I know they do for others with more sensitive antennae for accuracies."

    How "beautiful" depression and disorders are. How it makes you so dainty and pretty and soft.

    Our hero is beaten, stabbed and shot. Next scene he wakes up bandaged in the hospital. Within seconds, he yanks out all the tubes and wires, jumps out of bed, finds his - suddenly clean - clothes, and rushes out to continue his quest. In the next scene he's full of energy as he pursues his foe, and while his face may have a single scratch or bandaged cut - usually above one eye - there's no sign of what would ordinarily be a yellow-purple swollen pulpy mess with blood-red eyes.

    In the movie Total Recall the Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Sharon Stone characters get into a fight. The Stone character kicks the Schwarzenegger character in his nuggets. He goes down in pain. I am sure that every almost every man in the theater clenched up in horror. Well, it took less than five seconds for the Schwarzenegger character to get back up and start fighting again. Lordy! I think that I would have been down for a week.

    "Harrelson's blunt honesty and callous expectations in his interactions with Hailee Steinfeld's Nadine Franklin are spot-on for high school teachers," Don explained. "Yet, his stern and sarcastic persona still balances an available empathy that 99% of teachers have and never lose when it comes to supporting their students. He's far more realistic than the usual book-smart, naive idealist stereotypical traits they lather on actors and actresses playing school teachers. Give me more movie teachers like Max Bruner."

    Icebergs aren’t only what can be seen on top of the water. You only see 10% of it above water, and depending on how big that 10% is, the other 90% can be BIG, and go very VERY deep under the water. Haven’t seen this movie (and probably never will), but I’m curious. Did they actually obliterate 100% of the iceberg, top and bottom?

    Hitting animals with tranquillizer darts and they collapse immediately.

    The reality is that it can take 30-45 minutes for an animal to go down completely, longer if the animal is agitated.

    This is why when kids fall into gorilla pits, the lethal weapons are used. Responders don’t have 30-45 minutes to wait for a large, agitated dangerous animal to stumble around and possibly injure someone. The response has to be immediate, and tranquilizers don’t do that.

I can't remember if I passed out - I think I did because I remember one minute being on the ground, seeing my friend's shocked face and then seeing their mother squatting next to me. I do remember that, because of that bonk, I completely forgot my address and phone number for about 10 minutes, even though I just lived down the block and had memorized my number years earlier.

    I was taught its better to have a shotgun than a handgun for home defense. First, everyone knows the noise when you pump it the first time and the movies have made it scary. Hearing that coming from upstairs should encourage someone who broke in to steal a TV to leave. Life is better when you don't shoot someone (for both parties).

    For those who don't understand, shocking doesn't restart the heart, it actually stops it in an attempt to get it to restart naturally. If a patient's heart flatlines, it is already stopped, thus stopping it again isn't going to do anything further. In that case, you'd give an injection to attempt to force the heart to begin beating again.

    People in movies being "scientists", meaning they are good at all forms of science - biology, electrical engineering, physics, programming, communication protocols, advanced mathematics, hacking, robotics...

    Sure, you could have some knowledge in all of those fields - but specialising in just one of them takes decades... These characters are usually wizards in all fields.

    Scenes that involve swimming. I try to hold my breath whenever a movie character (non super hero / fantasy) dives underwater and try to hold it as long as he/she is swimming or submerged. I end up dying 9/10 times. I mean there’s probably a lot of things to consider but the amount of time some characters can hold their breaths is super human.

    All the movies with science babble in them. Or tech babble. All of them. At least it's pretty funny. Just stick "dark energy" or "quantum physics" somewhere.

After all, I have accepted a talking, angry racoon in a space suit with a huge machine gun. Who cares if they show audible explosions in deep space?

    Most explosions. I was in ammo and it ruined most movies for me. They're still fantastic movies and I love them all, but when a building explodes you're not gonna walk out casually barely beating the flames, and those thousands of pieces of wood aren't all going to magically not impale you as they're hurdled all around you with incredible force.

    Hollywood explosions are usually just big bags of propane. They want big showy fireballs that roll across the shot at a jogging pace. Real explosions happen in milliseconds. That shockwave is literally traveling at the speed of sound and that shrapnel is right behind it traveling hundreds of miles an hour. Pardon my freedom units.

Avalanche debris sets like concrete, you're not getting out without help.

    MANY years ago now, I had a work visit to England. Went through 2 - 3 cities. What I noticed was, at that time a lot of the smaller pubs were based around a single brand. Sure, they offered a number of options, but there was clearly the star brand. I found it great that we could walk into a pub and say "I'll have a pint" and we'd get one. Consistently the best beer I have ever had. Of course that was compared to 1990's American "beer" so of course it was good.

    There was an episode of ER where the one character is going to a military base to find her brother. Goodness, it was stupid. It's a base, in the states. But everyone is driving the green jeeps like they're on the set of MASH. She goes to the base clinic to find her brother and there are MPs stationed at all the entrances and all around the hallways. They're just all standing at full attention, randomly in the hallways. Why? Why would they do that? And they had their covers on...inside while they're just uselessly standing guard over hospital hallways. It is one of the absolute worst depictions of something military related I've ever seen on tv. Another one is Leverage (a show I love) when they go onto a base and the gate to get on is just a small booth, and an arm. It looks like something from a parking garage. They're able to sneak onto the base with no problem at all.

    Getting hit with a bullet and flying back. No, a tiny little bullet is not going to make a 170 pound person fly back, and still have energy to get through the out tissue and cause damage. A person gets hit with a bullet, they keep on doing whatever they were doing until the damage causes parts of the body to shut down. A really powerful rifle with a large low speed bullet may snap your head back or cause you to twitch, but then you will simply fall where you are, not be thrown back dramatically.
