Things that exist only in the movie world not real life


1. Being thrust backwards when being shot. A bullet will actually pass throw or embed, both scenarios will now have the force to send someone flying backwards.

2. A knife being pulled out of a sheath will produce no metallic sound. Only metal on metal will.

Please add to the list

Tires don't squeal on gravel roads.

this is a small annoyance about Terminator 2. when Arnie is pulling into a side road on the motorbike carrying John Connor near the beginning, the bike engine *should* decrease in revs. it increases in revs

MY KNIFE'S SHEATH IS LINED WITH METAL...IT SOUNDS AWESOME.

Being able to outrun cars, explosions, the earth crumbling beneath oneself, volcano eruptions, fiends on motorcylces w/ chainsaws, vicious dogs, marauding aliens shooting death rays, the thing that follows you in 'it follows', etc.

Broken Arrow, main character TWICE, on foot caught up to a truck in the desert. And that was only part of the stupid.

Remind me to continue to miss that one.

OMG, it had so much potential. John Travolta and Christian Slater (they were both doing well at teh time) and a good premise, a crashed bomber with a nuke, now in play.


When hte plane crashed in a national park, the first person there was a park ranger. Who tried to arrest the pilot....


It was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen on screen.

A crowded bar on a busy night and yet… the seat next to the attractive girl / guy is free, so that the love interest can move in and strike up a conversation.

I was going to say something along those lines--pretty woman sitting alone at the bar, reading a book, without a care in the world.

reply

Can't happen, can it? Guys just can't leave nice looking women alone.

somehow they can hear themselves speak too!

A group of bad guys attack the good guy one by one, instead of all ganging up on him at once.

From the vids I've seen, anyone whose only experience is in the Dojo will fail miserably against a professional fighter.

The hooker with a heart of gold.

Endless bullets when it comes to guns and shooting without any hearing protection.

As loud as a gunshot is, if you are the one pulling the trigger, your ears will be prepared to deal with the noise by closing in time. It's when our ears are unprepared for noise that the most damage occurs.

reply

Please teach me how to "close my ears." It's a skill I have been in need of most of my life. i.e. [citation needed]

Everybody else, please ignore this and *always* wear proper hearing protection whenever possible when around anything loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss. Tinnitus is no fun. Yes, this includes shows/concerts, sorry. No, a ball of cocktail napkin jammed in your ear is not "just as good."

🤣

WTF?

reply

The eardrum closes faster with loud noises when you are the one making the noise. That's why hammering isn't as loud if you're doing it as opposed to someone else doing it.

reply


Yeah right.
