Two cars can be driving and one car can drive over the other with a flip and still land with no damage.
This was busted in mythbusters to be crap.

The sound of gun shots in vast movies.
The sound of gun shots is very loud but in movies it doesn't sound as loud.

If I recall right this was a Toyota pickup commercial.

Bulletproof vests in tv shows and movies

They aren't designed to stop knifes.

That's a conditional observation. While correct in that a ballistic specific vest is not designed to stop edged weapons there are multi-threat vests that are designed to resist bullets and blades.

Not sure if it's been shown in tv shows and movies but another is they stay in place with no adjustment needed which is clearly baloney.
If you put it on while standing it'll need to be adjusted if you sit down, bend over, etc. So think of them as shoes that don't stayed tie in a way.

Also while bulletproof vests do stop bullets they don't result in no force of bullets are fired at the vest unless of course it's toy cap guns.
The whole no force like your superman is clearly baloney.

People talking during skydiving.

Pretty much how fights are shown. You take some of those punches in real life there's a good chance you never wake up.

Running away from police is a wise move to clear your name after being framed or in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Also exonerating or proving your innocence is done in 2 -3 days so mostly a short period of time that isnt even a week.

In real life it makes you look guilty plus hugely unfavorable to prove your innocence, plus exonerating or proving your innocence can take several years,a decade or decades.

Do you seriously not understand hyperbole or satire? This thread is entertaining to say the least.

So basically it was going for epic fail.

If someone gets punched there is not cartoon sound effects in real life.

The incredible speed rate of how fast when scanning finger prints.
In real life it's not going to happen in the short period of time of 12 seconds or under which often gets shown in CSI, and other movies or tv shows.

Goldenfinger

A small hole in a airplane will result in utter catastrophe.
This was busted on mythbusters not even the golden gun could make this bullcrap happen.
Painting your entire skin in paint including gold paint will result in a quick death, along with James Bond saying we breathe through our skin.

It won't result in a quick death if your entire body was covered in paint, we don't breathe through our skin so we can't suffocate what doesn't breathe, we breathe through our nose and mouth.
Obviously if you left the paint on for a long time you could die considering all the harmful stuff your leaving on your skin and the fumes but that is vastly different than the utter crap that gets shown in Goldfinger.

Dirty Harry

In the movie Harry uses a SandW 29 Revolver gun shooing assailants which sends them through the air even when shot from a distance.

In the real world this gun doesn't produce these amazing results nor does it come even close.

What guns can do doesn't change just because you got a badass shooting it.

This isn't like swinging a baseball bat which will have variable results when hitting a baseball.

From vast movies and tv shows
You can wash dishes at a restaurant if you can't pay the bill for compensation

It's illegal for a non employee to be in that work area and perform that task so obviously that won't happen for those reasons.

Ace Ventura pet detective when nature calls
You won't get harmed eating with lions the carcass of a zebra.

This is amazing crap to begin with humans eating a raw animal carcass is unsanitary combined with hugely likely you would either be mauled and killed by the lions.
Or severely injured if the astronomical chance the human were to escape.

The Godfather
The whole mafia doesnt engage in drug dealing.

The mob the mobster Lucky Luciano was in engaged in drug dealing of heroin and Luciano got busted for it.

Bullets can travel under water
From Navy seals and multiple other movies.

It got tested on mythbysters in a swimming pool and was easily busted.
Also the bullet's structure was negatively altered.

Anacondas The Hunt for the Blood Orchids
Factual mistakes

At the start of the movie hunters in Borneo are hunting a Tiger.
There are tigers in Indonesia but none in Borneo.

In the movie crocodiles hunt like sharks by smelling blood in the water.
Crocodiles do not hunt that way they have keen eyesight and would be attracted by the splashing water.

This thread is gold. Pure gold. So many favorites. I'll start here. A well thought out, articulate post by RDU here.

Therefor the radicals and jihadists get the most press and have the loudest voice.

That's your story right there. A young hero emerges from Aleppo, Syria, and the brutal dictatorship of Assad vowing to stand up for all that is true and right within Muslim world. Kicking ass from the Sudan to Malaysia.

Followed almost immediately by firestorm's response, quoting mean girls straight out of the gate who apparently misquotes Edmund Burke...

firestorm said:
Yeah undeniably that's true for in mean girls there was some line about people that see evil do nothing, and people that join in evil.
Also "the only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing."
Either they're paralyzed by fear and terror,two they're so use to this they under some false impression this is the way it is and they can't change it, three they've seen what happens to those that stand up to the terrorists syndicate so they feel discouraged as terrorist syndicates use mafia style intimidation tactics. I would say all the above.

Incredible. I love this thread.
