The sound of guns in general is absurd; from a "sounding impressive for impact in a movie" standpoint, actual gunfire is relatively unremarkable.

Albeit REALLY fucking loud if you do not have ear protection on.
Some of these guys fire literally thousands of rounds without ear protection. They should spend halve the movie literally saying "what" to every person that spoke to them.

And without reloading, far more impressive.

I saw a guy shoot a revolver in a show the other day at LEAST ten times.

Hershel in TWD shoots a pump-action shotgun so many times without reloading it makes me laugh every time.

In every car chase, one of the cars involved inevitably hits a parked car, but never actually "hits it". It somehow goes up and over the back corner of the parked car, and explodes.

And of course, the ever-contradictory fist fight versus single punch.
Two guys in a bar/saloon will get in a fist fight, hit each other a dozen times, and neither will show any sign they were even touched, then one channel over, one character will punch another one time, knocking him unconscious. And, of course, whenever that person comes to (as is convenient to the plot) they have no ill effect from the punch.

That's my favorite, honestly. I legitimately enjoy the fast & furious movies specifically due to how outlandish they are. I love the scene in Transporter 2 where statham flips his car in mid air, removes the bomb attached to the undercarriage by grazing the crane, then lands back on his wheels and drives off lmao.

Have you seen Mad Max Fury road?
Lol when he punches Nux one time in the chest and he crumples and is disabled for like 20 minutes.

Just noticed another one. Why is it in every movie, if an actor is taking a pill or on a prescription, they always take it without any water? Lol wtf I’ve never swallowed a pill in my life without a glass of water.
oh they also always have to have their pill bottle on them and always open it so aggressively lol and throw the pill down their throat

Last night, I watched "Get Shorty" for about the 4th time..
There is a scene in there where Danny Devito orders an omelette for the entire table just the way he likes em made.. Then proceeds to leave and not one person ate anything.

I remember a similar thread to this a while back someone brought up something I would never have thought of but I have noticed it since. On TV shows when people enter the house they don’t close the front door. I don’t know if that’s still true but on older shows I started noticing it and found it very funny.

I love when characters come up with some like weird out-of-the-box plan and the computer program they use has an oddly apt display.
Like they decide to overload a power system to cause it to explode, and when the time comes the display has giant letters saying "INITIATE OVERLOAD?"
Aint no programmer building you a UI for that shit lol it'd be a UNIX script or some shit you execute from a command line.

I'm currently watching US Marshalls. It's the scene where Tommy Lee Jones is in the ambulance with the dude who Robert Downey Jr. shot. TLJ clearly has blood on his hands in the scene, and he is putting his face in his hands - but no blood on the face.
