The lies of Tv shows and Movies

[firestorm]

I agree Lethal Weapon 2 was pretty silly... but it did apparently inspire a bizarre, real life murder. Google "Anthony Liu death - Sydney, Australia"... X-rays confirm this poor guy was shot in the head 34 times with a nail gun which fired 85 mm nails. Gruesome. A detective was asked if he had ever seen anyone killed by a nail gun before, he replied, "Only in Lethal Weapon 2." LOL.

Not the 1st time life imitated art in a negative way and I doubt it will be the last time.

Not at all... there were an amazing number of idiots who played Russian roulette in the late '70s following the popularity of The Deer Hunter.

Movie: Jaws the Revenge
Factual Errors
In this awful movie the Shark roars.
Also A man is eaten by the Shark, it is blown up but still he survives how utterly unbelievable.
A boat makes contact with the Shark in the climax and this causes the shark to blow up.
The Shark stands up in the surface of the water.
A person can flash back to a event that person.never saw.

Truth
Sharks cannot stand up in the surface of the water, and since sharks sink if they stop swimming no doubt sharks wouldn't attempt to stand up on the surface of the water.
There is no damn way Sharks could roar because they have no organs for producing sound.
If a person is eaten by a Shark they wouldn't survive, and no damn way a human inside a shark survives after the Shark was blown up if the slim chance that they are still alive inside a shark that ate them.
A boat making contact or touching a shark would not cause a shark to explode because there is nothing to create the explosion.
Obviously a person can't flash back to a event that they never saw.

Have you not seen sharknado? All you need is a chainsaw to survive being eaten by a shark!

Anytime a horror movie claims to be "based on a true story"... it may include the names of some real people (see The Conjuring 1 and 2) but is otherwise BS.

Note: I liked both of The Conjuring movies.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Also when getting shot at by multiple enemies you can easily dodge it.
In the real world a person would be killed when being shot at by multiple humans unable to dodge the gunfire.

I used to get a good laugh back in the day watching the A Team. Nearly every episode ended with both sides firing M- 16's at each other, yet nobody was ever hit. And those guys were supposedly special forces.

Blue Bloods
Danny decides to take a blowtorch while on then point it close to the mechanic's face to get major information while threatning if I recall right to hurt him in a specefic way with the blowtorch if he doesnt give him the needed information.

Truth
I don't doubt at all that a Detective or any cop in the real world specefically the USA can't use those actions to get information from a person without huge problems with the Law.
Spoken verbal intent to harm spefically with a deadly weapon, coercion, threatening a human with a deadly weapon yeah its pretty much a slam dunk they will have legal problems if they used the actions above.

The problem in both the movies and real life in those situations is that unless you have audio or video evidence then it is the suspect's word vs the cop

Yes but I recall this was in front of other citizens so Danny left a huge trail which in most situations is a fire that can't be extinguished.
I'll assume located in a buisness that has surveillance cameras but if not still other citizens that can testify about his illegal actions.
That's why I say slam dunk that the cop or detective will have legal problems if they use those illegal actions in this specefic kind of situation which includes another citizen or other citizens that can also testify about the specefic illegal actions of a detective or Cop.

Yes a intentionally ridiculous movie which is so bad its good. This includes uncredible science that seems like it belongs on Dexter's Laboratory.

Nothing implausible that a huge Gorilla could fight a huge lizard.

Crocodile 2 Death Swamp (2002)
4 Bank robbers have no problem transporting stolen money and guns into a Airport and onto a freakin Airplane the same day they robbed a bank.
How very unbelievable after 9/11 plus they have no damn inside help so yes utterly unbelievable.

Truth
No damn way persons carrying guns would get past airport security spefically the freakin metal detectors after freakin 9/11.
Persons carrying guns would be detained and questioned along with the large amount of tangible money.

Also highly unlikely bank robbers that want to escape to a Safe Haven after a successful bank robbery highly unlikely are going to go to a Airport in the same City where they robbed a Bank, or any airport.

It's more likely they'll try to drive to a Safe area, or if they have a boat use that to move to a Safe Haven.

Italian Job:

Blowing a hole in the street the exact size of an armored car then the sign to cover is just big enough to cover

14 gold bars in a Mini and handles like a race ready Corvette

You can add in 1 man easily able to hack into a city traffic system under 15 seconds with 1 damn laptop and no regain of control so the crew can steal the gold.

The Power of Plot convience.


Got to love Hollywood entertains you and usually not bound by real world physics, logic, etc.
If Hollywood only used utter factual information nothing for Mythbusters to analyze of Hollywood movies and tv shows.

Movie: Baby's Day Out
For some damn reason monkeys can escape a cage because the bars don't go to the ground area but they don't.
If I recall right a large man survives his hand being smashed by a freakin adult Gorilla no surgery required.
Another man isn't killed when grabbed by the Gorilla instead survives cartoon violence.
Also so many damn times a baby because of the utter convience of plot dodges death.
No 1 except the 3 kid kidnappers notice a baby crawling in dangerous areas the zoo and a construction zone.

A Butler looks at the disguised kidnappers but screw logic the mother leaves them alone with 3 disguised kidnappers with unbelievable fake disguises.
A baby proves to have remarkable memory because it visits all locations in a book that he memorized.



Truth
A mother won't leave her baby alone with persons that a Butler believes is suspicious with repeated up and down looks because of unbelievable fake disguises or any persons that they don't know at all.
I'm pretty sure persons building a zoo would not have approved a cage for monkeys with a obvious area of how they can escape under the bars. That's build a car with no safety break kind of dumb design.

Monkeys no doubt could discover the flaw and take advantage by escaping from the cage.
No damn way a baby crawls into dangerous areas including a construction zone and zoo with no 1 else noticing including employees, and visitors for the zoo.
I don't doubt getting your hand smashed by a adult Gorilla would require major surgery.
If you are grabbed by a Gorilla with no weapons for protection most likely you'll be killed including a protective Gorilla.
A baby doesn't have the ability to remember all locations from a pictures book and then easily visit all the same locations
And if a baby is in the area of construction zones and zoo highly likely the baby is killed or severely injured.

Or a loaded safe falling in a boat and it rebounds like a shock on a trophy truck.

Didn't that safe actually sink to the bottom? Handsome Rob sold that it was in the boat to draw the security away from the area so the old man could crack the safe in scuba gear.

 

[firestorm]

Movie: Benchwarmers
In the movie a robot Butler mows the lawn and mows over a dog which removes lot of fur from the dog.


Truth
A lawnmower has deadly blades that can easily cut grass so if a lawnmower mowed over the body of a dog the dog would most likely be killed suffering a brutal violent death with large amounts of blood, or if by some miracle the dog survives it would still have a severely injured body with a large amount of blood.

Why wouldn't they be?

Also would a person highly likely not run with a running chainsaw because of it being a large deadly weapon combined with its dangerous?

And wow recapping what I already freakin know.

So yes humans running with a running chainsaw is a unwise dangerous action.

 

[BowlBrother85]

This one bothers me a little bit because it's one of my favorite shows and pretty glaring:

On Modern Family, Mitchell and Cam adopt a baby girl (Lily) from Vietnam. Vietnamese law (and the law in most Asian countries) prohibits adoptions by single parents or gay couples. If they adopted Lily illegally, they would have never made it out of the country by plane like the pilot episode shows them doing.

You can add Growing Pains.
In just about every episode the problem is solved before the episide ends the convience of a sitcom.

In real life problems don't get solved at that speed, and some never get solved because either persons refuse to use the solution or no solution can be thought of where both persons win or are both happy.

Ok real life doesn't have a convient nature while fiction including the Sitcom Growing Pains does.

Movie: Ace Ventura Pet Detective

Ace stops a bullet easily shot from a hand gun using his teeth easily like it's a grape.
Also 2 guys easily invade a studio and kidnap a star nfl qb Dan Marino with no security in the area.
Most likely the record keeper was fooled they are nfl players because they're bjg, plus wearing the nfl dolphins uniform so he was convinced they are apart of the photo shoot.

Truth
Humans do not have the ability to easily stop a bullet shot from guns using their teeth as shown in that comedy movie so they would be killed, and if by some miracle of God they survive still severely wounded.

Invading a studio and kidnapping a celebrity including during a photo shoot would be hard because no doubt security would be not far from the celebrity add in most likely security close to the entrance area.
