In general, I think movie and TV characters are WAY more willing to engage in mini-arguments with essentially strangers. The average real-life person is mostly conflict-averse.

Car jumps a ravine, bottoms out on the other side and drives off like they just pulled out of the driveway.

I remember reading that they always wet down streets in movies because none of the detail shows up on camera. It would just be a bland black and you would hardly be able to tell it was even a street

Maybe things are different in other places, but on TV you get your lettermans jacket as soon as you make the team

Or how cars just ram through all sorts of metal gates and fences and just keep on driving and never even get a flat tire.

all car chases.

Technology is magic in TV.
Not to be confused with ultra futuristic science fiction, but rather when things we deal with everyday (like hackers, viruses, etc) are depicted in absurd ways. Happens a lot in TV especially, because I suppose they cannot bother to hire a consultant on those things?

You can’t make it look “cool” or exciting.

Think about that first part: "knock a guy out". I recently asked on here if you can just knock a guy unconscious so he blacks out for a few moments, then wakes up with no serious injury. Ir he's hit hard enough to pass out, has he had a concussion?
IF a person is "out" for more than a few seconds, he likely needs serious medical attention. If for a minute, might as well sign up for being fed from a tube.
This isn't like slipping into a coma; this is a violent injury causing brain damage.

In The Rock when Cage is chasing Connery the Ferrari and Hummer they are using both have magical healing powers and can smash though anything without slowing down.
At one point Cage plows through a several parking meters at full speed, the front and and windshield are blatantly wrecked, and a split second later everything is fixed. Connery smashes through multiple cars and obstacles that would have at the very least slowed him down to a crawl yet never once needs to slow down.
LINK LINK Related to car chases, you are always going to get at least once of these as an obstacle that needs to be dodged: Some sort of large group of people riding bicycles, wheelchairs, or in a march/parade of some sort. A giant pile of empty boxes in an alleyway. A single truck slowly going through an intersection while hauling giant stack of office sized water bottles. Cop cars that instantly launch 50 feet in the air after colliding w/the exact same thing the escapee just collided with themselves. A little old lady carrying groceries or a woman pushing a carriage (almost never a stroller) walking very slowly and with zero awareness through a cross walk, usually alone, and if the stroller gets hit it's always full of cans revealing the woman to be a crazy bag lady instead of a mother.

99% of the reason for the stuff talked about in this thread. Can you imagine a breakfast scene (discussed above) where the characters spend 40% of the scene chewing food and staring at each other? Or a hacking scene where the guy is just quietly typing code for hours?
Quick story - My co-worker was a Navy SEAL who was detailed to be a Technical Consultant on the infamous Charlie Sheen movie "Navy SEALs". One of the first scenes filmed was a hostage rescue scene of some pilots. The actors rappel through some windows and mow down the terrorists with full auto machine gun fire. My buddy, Steve, steps forward when they yell cut and says out loud "we would never utilize full auto fire in a hostage rescue as the chance of hitting a hostage is too high. We would take careful semi auto shots." The Director stared at him for a second and said, "when we want your input we will ask for it. Go stand over there off camera please." Steve quickly learned that entertainment and appearances trumps reality every time in Hollywood.

They parodied this a bit in Marvelous Mrs. Maisel where she tells Zachary Levi's character to give her a call and walks off coolly, only for him to call out, "I don't have your number." Leads to a wonderfully awkward moment where they discuss trying to look cool but failing.
