Recently Jersey was upset by the massive blows to the face in The last Lost episode which I also made mention of on a different thread.

In movies

1.People get hit by massive blows to the face and get up like nothing happened.

2.People can get shot in the arm in one scene and yet for the next two hours the arm works just fine.

3.Can be dead drunk and yet the sober up with one cup of coffee or a few slaps to the face.

4.Can be dirt poor with no job or money, yet living in a 2 story house with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths.

5.Who the hell owns 30 candles? Why in romantic scenes do people have like 30 or more candled lit. This can tie into the last point as candles aren't exactly cheap either.

6. Medical Dramas run tests in minutes when they take days to hours. House of course would be a big offender here.

7.No Traffic or even in Traffic Jack Bauer can drive from one side of LA to the other in 5 minutes.

Just thought of these while watching Rescue Me on Hulu. They have violated all of the above except getting shot.

What other unrealistic movie or tv crap gets on your nerves?

6. Medical and Police shows run test in minutes when they take way longer in reality.

It wouldn't be as stupid if the show wasn't based on actual time.

The bullet that traveled in a circle in Unbreakable(I think)which killed about ten bad guys. That hole movie was the most unrealistic I ever saw!!

Excellent thread. You hit on some great points. When I was a teenager I was robbed at gunpoint along with two of my buddies. The cockroach of a robber fired a bullet that passed through one friend's arm and into the other's chest. Neither could move and it was obvious both were in tremendous dehibilitating pain. Whenever I see a movie character take a bullet and carry on unimpeded, I think of that night.

John Connor driving the motorcycle terminator in salvation. The thing didn't even have handle bars. I could list several things from Salvation that were just flat out Unrealistic.

I've also noticed that anytime a woman thows up, then she is pregnant.

There was thread like this a few months ago that was good. One of my favorite ones was "everyone keeps a scrapbook of newspaper clippings of the most traumatic event of their lives".

i would say cars being able to just barrell through stuff with ease... like just crash through another car, or building, or go down a steep rocky hill.... i know that last year someone pulled out in front of me and i slammed on my breaks and probably only hit him going like 20 something miles and hour and there was green stuff dripping from the bottom of my car and it was totaled..... but in movies they just bust through stuff completely not hindered by it like they are driving a tank

I horror movies when the killer is walking and the victim is running, the killer still manages to catch him/her.

and the victim never thinks to kick the killer in the balls.

Horror movies are basically gore porn movies, yet the killer doesn't have vulnerable genitalia. Awesome.

-Bad guy has drop on good guy and instead of just blowing him away, spends 15 minutes explaining to good guy how & why he did it.

- hot chick has romantic sex with guy, obviously he has seen every body part she has (we haven't) and when she gets up she takes sheet to cover herself up.

-every time a car leaves a still position, the tires squeal
-whenever a car stops the brakes squeal
-whenever an explosion happens, the characters are thrown way into the air and come down on concrete then get up and look around
-people run at full speed for miles chasing a bad guy ect. and not get tired

Actually saw a Rockford Files episode where after a foot chase Rockford and the other guy were sucking air from exhaustion. This went on for about 1 minute. Thought it was cool that at least they attempted some realism.
