Unrealistic things that happen in films..

[BumbleBee120]

Recently I am noticing more than ever things that are so unrealistic and think it would be so simple to make more believable, is anyone else like this? 😂

• When someone pulls out their phone & presses one button and their instantly calling the right person!?

• How a sudden downpour of rain can just start with no warning!?

• Always the most extravagant meals on the table for every mealtime but the kitchen is never messy!?

In the first series of 'The Rookie' Lucy needs the toilet, but hangs her belt with gun/taser/radio etc and it is stolen.

Fortunately stolen by her training officer but it made me think, if you are a cop in the USA or elsewhere you can't just use any public toilet.

Back to the unrealistic.

If a woman throws up she is either drunk or pregnant. No other reason for throwing up.

The fact that there's a market stall that only seems to sell oranges in the line of destruction for every car crash.

Any film with horses in that are constantly neighing, snickering, snorting and squealing.

Horses are actually quite quiet, and unless it’s a stallion eyeing up a mare, certainly don’t neigh when rearing up!
irritates the shit out of me when every horse on screen has something to say!

No one ever catches their pocket or top on the door handle.

No one ever wears slippers, except the very old.

Make up stays fresh and renewed despite running from a volcano, being half eaten by a dinosaur, crashing a car, nearly drowning etc.

Laughed out loud at this!
I was worried you might have CCTV in my house until the third point.

In every game of poker someone will say 'i'll see your 10 and raise you ...' which isn't allowed in the rules of the game.

Your suitcase for a week's holiday can just be picked up in one hand.

To be honest, and judging by the number of hacking events suffered by large businesses just lately, I think that one is true!

I managed fine on a recent 5-day holiday with one underseat bag, so that one is possible. Although it did take careful packing to fit my souvenirs / presents in coming back.

People drinking cups of tea or coffee that clearly don’t have any tea, coffee, or liquid of any kind in them.

In American films I often see young people chatting in a way that wouldn’t happen IRL. Teenagers wouldn’t talk like that to each other day to day. Say it’s based in a 6th form setting, you’ll see them have a conversation that’s extremely articulate and sounds like it should be part of an essay rather than in real life.

Nobody ever needs to nip home to feed the cat or let the dog out for a shit.

Calling an ambulance and it coming quickly
getting a doctors appointment

high ranking police doing investigative enquiries and interviews
full armed response team behind a detective who is not trained and at scene
high speed police chases through crowded streets

people being knocked out or having head injuries and being absolutely fine after

people fighting and not getting exhausted

lifestyles not matching the persons salary - holidays / houses / eating out wtc

American women always keep their bras on during sex, and are still wearing them in the morning, when they wake up with perfect hair and make up.

Nobody ever gets blisters on their feet from all that running about in unsuitable footwear while chasing baddies, escaping the clutches of baddies, or indeed being one of the baddies.

Oh yes, and another one...

There is always someone who can fly a plane.

high ranking police doing investigative enquiries and interviews

In books, too. I’m currently reading a series which I’m thoroughly enjoying but where a superintendent is going out & doing the investigating, which feels pretty unlikely.

Getting soaking wet then magically dry within five minutes.

Operating theatres or mortuaries are always dark. No they are not!

Someone shouts "turn on the TV" and it is always tuned to the exact channel and news report the other person has has been watching just as the announcer says "for those of you just joining us these are the devastating scenes from...."

Computer passwords - they're always something obvious of significance when someone is trying to crack one, like the date the couple first met or their children's names. It's never made up of random words/letters/numbers.

I never understood why no one says goodbye on the phone. They just hang up. I’ve never done that except in an argument. I find it odd every time I see it.

Women always seem to be wearing matching underwear, and normally nice underwear too.

A man waves his penis in the direction of a woman & she’s screaming in orgasmic ecstasy

A woman chasing a man, has no problem catching him & felling him to the ground

The police arrive to tell you that your colleague, friend has been murdered & you continue non chalently filling the dishwasher

Yes luggage/rucksacks that are obviously empty/too light.

but the one that really upsets me is people bringing take out coffee cups that clearly have nothing in them. Same with mugs in an office scene. And then people pretend to drink them
