The lies of Tv shows and Movies

It used to be the # to a use car lot in the 'boro. Not sure if it still is though.

Yep, it's a Murfreesboro number. I had a friend in high scool who's number was 867-5389 and I still remember that number because of the song.

i'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned yet,but a woman beating up a man whose a whole lot bigger than she is!

Having intercourse for 30 minutes. Seriously... who does that?

People who are into quickies.

Sharks are brutal killers that eat humans.
Jaws, and vast other Shark movies.
Unprovoked shark attacks happen but not like what is shown in the movies at a high occurrence.

Shooting a oxygen tank will result in a large explosion.
This from Jaws was tested in mythbusters and proven to be false.

The sound of motorcycle never seems to be right and it seems to have a endless amount of gears to go through.

The camera shot through the windshield showing the driver constantly turning the wheel left to right yet still going straight down the road or when the driver turns the steering wheel opposite lock but only changes lanes.

While the continuous 360 shot is cool the way he's steering took me out of the scene.

Truth
Road runners are not the size of coyotes they are small birds.
Coyotes are faster than road runners.

Whats shown in entertainment
Looney tunes shows road runner to be the size of a coyote, and faster than a coyote.

Next you're going to tell us that a beagle cannot fly an airplane (a Sopwith Camel to be exact) and engage in aerial combat with the Red Baron.

Perhaps there should be a separation between things that are somewhat presented as realistic (there's a number of examples listed) and things that, let's be honest, cannot possibly be taken seriously as presented. I mean, "Looney Tunes" should pretty much work as a disclaimer for accuracy in content...don't you think?

So cartoons should be left out including scooby doo?
Ok fair enough.

Fast and the Furious 6
If I recall right in a trailer it showed a car going through a fire explosion unscathed.

that whole movie is filled with one preposterous scene after another

the final chase is a perfect example unless there is an airport somewhere with a 40 mile long runway

 

[Volwark]

If a bunch of guys gang up somebody, most of them are going to stand around and watch while the one guys beats up the gang one at a time.

(Really annoys me in the Nolan Batman movies).

It's one on one combat with about 6 guys.

So it's Super Bowl over the top.

Turn over a table and it'll make you safe from gunfire.
Unless this is paintball no it won't.

Also batman landing on a car with no injury to his body. Is there something in the costume that give him protection from high falls?
Does bane have some superhuman strength in the Nolan universe? Seems like he would have to damage a freakin large block that was holding up a building.

I never understood the scene when the Joker threw rachel out of the window and batman fell with her onto a car to save her. I have a few beefs.

1. There is no way Batman and Rachel should survive that 20+ story fall.

2. The Joker and his thugs were still in Bruce Wayne's penthouse. Did they just kindly leave after that scene?

The inside of a refrigerator will protect you from a nuclear bomb.
Clear bullcrap from Indiana jones 4 .

This may be wanting to have a cake and eat it to. I'll further add are you freakin kidding me a bus goes out of a bank and no one finds that at all unusual that police should be called.


Maybe not before creating damage to the penthouse.

It was a "Lead Lined" fridge from back in the day, but correct nonetheless.

Indeed. I thought that too.

What are you referencing?

As in it would protect a human?

I was referencing the start where joker drives a bus out of the bank, and for some freakin reason no citizens found it unusual.


There are snakes that can eat humans but anacondas are not them. Still it's what is shown in the anaconda movie series.

Actually they are, along with the Burmese, African Rock and Reticulated Pythons.

Having said that there's still a LOT of debate about how many genuinely verified cases of snakes eating people exist. There are lots of verified deaths (many involving pets) however.

Ok but anacondas don't get to that massive amount of size as shown in the movies.


It's easy to hack into a school computer and alter your absence record.
One cab will arrive fast to the one you and others use to replace another that a person wouldn't notice.
It's easy fool a host at a restaurant you are a famous person.
From Ferris Buelers day off
The above three could happen but not a piece of cake, walk in the park, or as easy as the movie shows,

Anybody who drives at night knows that you can see a lot more than what Hollywood portrays. Unless, of course, you are looking through a cardboard tube and your headlights are aimed straight down.

The opening football scene from "The Last Boyscout" is ludicrous as well. Not because the player shoots other players on the field before shooting himself, but because the rainy stadium at night looked as though it was illuminated by the headlights of cars in the parking lot.

A lot of football games at night in movies seem to have that problem. My guess is to hide the fact they are shooting in an empty stadium, but I remember the night games in Any Given Sunday were like that.

 

[firestorm]

If you want something factual represented of guns shown in a movie it's terminator 2 judgement day.
The t8000 uses his back to shield John Connor when in a hall at a mall, the t1000 relentlessly shoots then is shown reloading when the t8000 shoots the t1000 with a shotgun multiple times that he also is shown reloading.

 

[firestorm]

Also just about any movie where it shows people loving each other instantly or in a short amount of time.

Almost any action movie where a character is able to escape from something fight off multiple foes also use a foe as a shield with the convent timing when getting shot at.

No caution for when a grenade or some other explosive explodes when there should be since if it's near of in a building is going to result in glass and other material being broken and moving around in a rapid manner.

 

[hndog609]

Can't believe I didn't think of this one earlier. You can't "cover up" something by nuking a location and blaming it on the (pretty convenient in the first place) nuclear plant going critical. Other than radiation there are basically no similarities whatsoever.

This was brought on by catching the end of Resident Evil:Apocalypse. Think they used the same thing at the end of the second Alien vs Predator. Probably other examples out there.
