As someone who loves movies, I’m well aware that there are TONS of things that happen in films that are just…well…ridiculous…
And sometimes those things can really get on our nerves!
AskReddit users went on the record and shared the unrealistic things in movies that drive them crazy. Let’s take a look!
1. Unrealistic.
“Unrealistic wealth.
Typical family with one working parent has a four bedroom house with in-ground pool; college graduates living in some swanky penthouse on a babysitter salary.
Twenty-four year old doctors.”
2. Nerd alert!
“Playing video games.
Randomly mashing all buttons at the same time and pressing R1/L1 and R2/L2 for no reason…”
3. Don’t you have somewhere to be?
“High school scenes where there are lounges in the hallway and students are free to be wherever they want to be around the building(s) no matter the time of day without consequence.”
4. He’s somewhere…in Europe…
“Omniscient bad guys.
I know you have to have the plot move forward, but dude is trying to hide in Europe and somehow the villain is always where the hero wants to go before they get there.
I mean… Europe is pretty big, and I can’t imagine getting totally lost there would be all that difficult.”
5. What’s the rent here?
“People living in these gigantic NY or LA apartments while working jobs that realistically could never pay for such a nice place.”
6. Not realistic.
“People doing CPR. Then the person who just got CPR wakes up like 10 minutes later and eats lunch.
Also movies are really bad at maintaining sterile fields in operating rooms.”
7. Gotta go!
“When the mom prepares a feast for breakfast and everyone only takes a bite or two before rushing off.
My mom would have scolded me for wasting food. Also, she wouldn’t prepare a huge meal for breakfast.”
8. Guns.
“Gun silencers being that quiet. In reality they’re like the sound of someone clapping.
For that matter just about any gun being fired inside. The noise is deafening. Even in the movies you see people wearing hearing protection at a range, but then when action scenes occur that aspect is completely thrown out.”
9. Time to walk away.
“Casually strolling away from a massive explosion.
They have eardrums of steel and shrapnel proof skin.
It’s legit, I Googled it!”
10. Both of these things.
“Stalker-ish behavior being portrayed as “romantic”.
The man in a relationship being portrayed as a near-braindead doofus.”
11. Knocked out.
“People getting knocked out cold for an hour, then waking up and going about their day like nothing’s happened.
I once got knocked out for like two minutes and ended up sick for a month.”
12. Computing powers.
“My son in law is a video game programmer and it drives him crazy when in cop shows/movies they use a computer to search for a match to fingerprints or a face and the screen scrolls with the images flashing on the screen.
He’s like do you know how much computing power it takes to render all those images the computer doesn’t need to flash them on the screen !!”
13. You again?!?!
“Mostly in romcoms: people randomly running into each other out in public.
Like, how small is your town that you bumped into the same person 3 days in a row at a restaurant/bar/shop?”
14. No sparks at all.
“When two characters do something simple like glancing at each other and then the romance has started.
If a man and a woman bump into each other and some music plays that’s enough to ensure the romance has begun.
I bump into guys all the time, where’s my boyfriend??
15. Nailed it.
“Pretty much any police detective show…
Female detective constantly wearing high heels (which would be uncomfortable alone and very challenging during the inevitable foot chase scene).
Immediately upon discovering evidence at a crime scene they will pick it up using a loosely held glove or the tip of a pencil.. in real life evidence needs to be documented/photographed before handled and how lazy are you that you can’t properly slip on a glove.
Just about everything else forensics wise. I everyone with loose hair, rarely wearing gloves, every fingerprint or other peice of evidence is relevant to the crime.
The crime scene line is like 10 feet from the body so the public has a great view of everything and of course any nearby evidence is destroyed.
Every time the cop says that you have to tell me X or I am going to arrest you for obstruction.”
What do you think?
