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!

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."

Mr. Robot was far far better, much more realistic as a hacking story. So many U.S. productions feel like they pulled words one by one out of the bag.

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."

The correct setup should have been two straight pieces soldered together to make a corner pipe. I love him and his obscure dad facts!

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."

Or they aren't that strong to not bend or break at all. They are also incredibly filthy. I have taken out enough duct work to know that you could almost create another person with how many skin cells end up in your air ducts. I also am not doubting the strength of the large threaded supports some duct work has. I'm doubting the strength of the 20 gauge metal to not end bend in the slightest under the weight of a full grown man.

Ryan also told Bored Panda that the responses his post received were amazing. "I found myself nodding furiously at most of them as they came in," he noted. "One that sticks in my mind is the mention of a certain GI Joe movie scene where they torpedo icebergs, which then sank.

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!"

The object has to have the structural integrity to remain in one piece - all that pressure at one point (Superman's hand) would make the object break apart.

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."

“Uh, It Doesn’t Work Like That”: 40 Unrealistic Movie Moments That Require Viewers To Suspend Their Disbelief Anytime sword fighting or fencing in a movie is related to dancing (looking at you Pirates of the Caribbean and GoT.)

It’s the exact opposite of dancing. The point is to have a completely unpredictable tempo and, if your opponent does have a specific rhythm, to interrupt it in unpredictable ways.

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. It bothers me relentlessly when movies show someone being given and EpiPen and they just take a big gasp of air and go back to eating dinner like nothing happened.

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."

As far as scenes Don has noticed were done quite accurately, he shared, "Sticking with the school teacher hat I wear and the education setting, one of the best examples of a realistic school teacher was Woody Harrelson's character Max Bruner in The Edge of Seventeen, written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, who's an awards contender this year for Are You There God?

How "beautiful" depression and disorders are. How it makes you so dainty and pretty and soft. If you threw up your guts every night you would not be bright eyed and gentle with luscious hair and strong nails. If you were depressed you aren't sitting prettily, and looking mysterious.

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."

Yeah, that would not happen very often.

In reality the holiday campaign would have been finalized quite some time ago after months of planning, back-and-forth with the client, reviewing layouts/proofs, etc. Around the holiday season we would most likely be working on planning stuff for the spring/summer of the next year.

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?

It always takes me out of the movie when say someone will be like “you’ll never believe what’s on the news. Put it on”. Their tv is off, they turn the tv on, and it’s on the EXACT station of said news crew, at the EXACT moment they’re talking about I said topic. That’s not how it works. And it could be anything. Not just news. They turn on the tv and it just so happens to be on what their looking for. Just a small aspect of television/movies that takes me out of it and I’m always like “that’s not how this works.”. Lol

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.

They either don't wear PPE, or they do wear it but don't wear it properly, or for the right things. Food/beverage/chewing gum in a lab is a big big no. If some character in a drama TV show walked into my lab demanding results, the first thing I'd do is give them safety glasses...

Not necessarily the lab, but I loathe the trope of "coroner eating lunch while performing autopsy." Makes me want to scream.

When I was, like, 8, I fell off a friend's swing set and got my head bonked by the seat. 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. The brain and any injuries to it should never be taken lightly.

I refused to see the movie Lucy because it was based around the myth "we only ever use 10% of our brain." Like, no we don't? We use the whole thing. We cannot just unlock our brains with fancy tech or drugs and suddenly have telekinesis and s**t.

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.

When a movie thinks that people with autism are like superhumans. They just have random powers like being super smart and instantly recognizing patterns and s**t. Not exactly how it works. Autism is like having a glitchy brain, not some sort of supercharged intellect.

People with savant syndrome (aka "idiot savant") can sometimes do the stuff that's depicted, and about 10% of them are autistic. FWIW I recently encountered somebody with autism (I'm assuming that's what his particular neurodivergence was) who could tell you the day of the week for any date.

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. "The quantum dark energy is spreading to his a*s!" Hacking is babbling about "I'm in" and you always have to "trace the source" I'm pretty sure. "I'm in his h****i collection, tracing the sources now."

I probably know more science than the average person. I watch movies for the fun factor. If they say something ridiculous about some scientific phenomenon, I just take a deep breath and go on. 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. And most deaths/injuries occur from being bashed up during the slide, so you're not likely to emerge unscathed if it's big enough to bury you.

Avalanche victims can definitely die from trauma but it's not even close to "most". In a study of 56 avalanche deaths in Utah only 3 were from trauma alone. 48 were strictly the result of asphyxiation.

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.

“Uh, It Doesn’t Work Like That”: 40 Unrealistic Movie Moments That Require Viewers To Suspend Their Disbelief It's always a pet peeve of mine when in movies, they're working on a computer and the thing is constantly chirping and beeping with some kind of dumb sci-fi looking interface to it. Like dude, we all have computers now. We all know software doesn't do that and if it did it would be annoying as hell.

I've even seen scenes (can't remember which movies) where they're clearly using photoshop or something similar and it's constantly making little sci-fi noises.

Because of TV and movies people seem to be under the impression ultrasound techs just scan babies, in actuality that is 1/3rd of the job.

Atleast twice a week I have a 60-something year old man ask if it’s a boy or girl as I’m gelling up his beer belly...Sir unless you ate a baby there shouldn’t be one in there and I can only fake laugh so many times without dying alittle inside.

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.

Just about every movie where anything does anything in space. I can count the exceptions on one hands. Ships burning prograde into reentry, maneuvering hilariously close, and 99% of the time burning in the wrong direction.

Imagine an action movie where everyone runs into the big fight shooting themselves in the head as if that would kill their enemy. *It's painful*.

On this specific topic, I'm always sighing for a second when in Armageddon they have the two space shuttles take off simultaneously and (for space travel) incredibly close to one another. If this really was the one mission to save humanity without a second chance, you wouldn't take that unnecessary risk.
