You’ve probably seen this happen in a movie: There’s an explosion . . . and someone flies through the air in slow motion, and they’re totally fine afterward. Even their hair is somehow perfect. That . . . probably wouldn’t happen in real life. People on social media are listing things that happen ALL THE TIME in movies, but are “100% unrealistic.”
Here are some of the most popular answers:
1. Somebody falls and catches the edge of something, hanging on by just their fingers. (Just try it sometime.)
2. Spotless air ducts. Or, “Air ducts that can support the weight of a 200-pound man moving through them . . . aren’t full of screws . . . AND absorb the sounds of the man moving around.”
3. People getting pistol whipped, being knocked unconscious, and waking up later . . . functioning normally, as if nothing happened.
4. A character moving four feet from the other characters and having a full-volume side conversation . . . that no one else can hear. (This seems like a CLASSIC soap opera trope.)
5. A hero being assaulted by a dozen henchmen . . . using fists, feet, and metal bars . . . only to end up with a small butterfly bandage on their cheek. Also, everybody attacks . . . ONE AT A TIME.
6. The general lack of tiredness.
7. Unemployed bachelors with spacious penthouse apartments in desirable locations.
8. Waking up looking fresh and styled and mostly in a very good mood.
