The part in Drop Dead Fred where Elizabeth's best friend's house boat sinks and she gets rich off the insurance payout. That's not how that works unfortunately.

Quiet conversations on airplanes and dance floors as if there's no background noise.

Anything gun related in most movies is probably wrong

The horror movie character who searches a scary room by walking in and immediately looking intently up at the ceiling, while slowly turning around until he ends up backing into the dangerous thing he somehow didn't notice.

Two people draw guns in each other's faces point blank but nobody fires. Instead they have a tense conversation.

Talkin' to you, Malcolm Reynolds and Saffron (or Yolanda or Bridget or whatever).

Recently, I've been mindful of how long fights are in movies.

Sword fight? Fanning at each other, crossing and smacking swords. Maybe even walking around each other. I don't think that's how a real sword fight would look.

Fights where it's mostly talking. Talking and talking. Nobody would fight like that.

Fist fights without a smack and dead. It's fancy movement - only because of the shaky camera and cuts of course. Give me back Jackie Chan or smack them once and they fall over.

I also dislike noticing the wire-guided movements. Fast acceleration and you can see them balancing in the air lifted by wires. Wires removed after-the-fact, but it's such unnatural movement.

And of course, the classic gunfight where nobody hits anything.

Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it's faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies.

It's certainly prevalent.

"Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it’s faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies."

Monster: struggles to catch a running humans

Monster in next scene: catching up with a car pretty easily

Speed always kills me in things.
