What is something unrealistic that you often see in movies that annoys the hell out of you?

Hollywood beauty standards evolving or changing over the last century

There are quite a few things that annoy me and aren’t realistic. Actually, I can think of a ton of these.

Action Films:

• Kicking in a door and it just falling out of its hinges… try it. You would break your foot.
• Hiding Behind The Bar when bad guys break in, shattering all the bottles, walks all around the bar, and the action hero leaps out to save the day, gets three scratches, and lives another day.. come on, really?
• Guns & Ammunition: First of all I hate the way Hollywood glorifies and promotes so much violence. Take a movie like Die Hard (love them!); you see the main characters being shot at with anything ranging from a pistol to a rocket launcher, yet walking away without a scratch. Or the famous double-barrel shotgun that sends a 300-pound guy flying through the air. Nope, sorry to break it to you, it isn’t realistic.
• Age matters: James Bond never ages. Amazing, isn’t it? Neither does Ethan Hunt (Mission Impossible). Kudos to the JB franchise for at least changing the actors every so often. Tom Cruise is in his 50’s and runs around like a pro college athlete. Exceptions there, that isn’t very realistic.

Comedies:

• Fat or Obese People always seem to be the funny ones… really? So if your BMI is above 29, all of a sudden you’re automatically a comedian?
• Another Jennifer Anniston-same-sh*t-movie I don’t think Jennifer Anniston is capable of any other type of acting than prolonging Friends’ Rachel Green and worst is: she ain’t funny.

Crime Movies my favourite genre

• Two rivaling groups squaring up in a remote location. Nah, it seldom happens in real life. Leadership between the gangs interact indirectly and the soldiers follow suit. If thismeeting happened in real life, say between LA Crips & LA Bloods, things would end badly.
• Latinos: According to Hollywood, Mexicans come in four categories: Gardeners, Corrupt Government Officials, Murderers, or Tattooed Drug Pushers. Always with a thick accent. Nowadays, this isn’t reality.
• Blacks: Apparently according to Hollywood, Blacks by default are either gang bangers, priests, great singers,, or loud & funny people who can only speak “Ghetto”… such nonsense.
• Dead guy in the car: You often see a guy driving with a dead body in the passenger seat. Well, if you were to do that in real life, you would think twice, as dead humans tend to release all matter inside their body…

Body & Beautification:

• Perfect Body (Men and Women): Well, as America leads the world when it comes to obesity, I very rarely see it properly reflected. Instead, I see men and women of all ages with nearly perfectly toned bodies. And those who can be on the screen, having a BMI of +29, are very much underrepresented and often typecast (funny fat person, bitter fat person).
• Teeth: Always pearly white, and never a cavity or uneven tooth to be seen. In the US this might be normal, but in most parts of the world, it isn’t always the case.
• Hair: If you see the heads of hair and the styling on the ladies and gentlemen performers, it is always intricate and stunning. In real life, most of us don’t have 8 hours a week to do our hair and most of us guy grow bald at some stage.

But my favourite one is The Bed Scene or, better said, getting out of bed, the woman always taking about half the bed with her. Maybe it is my experience, but I have never witnessed it.
