Movie Logic Moments That Don't Happen In Real Life


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the movie logic moments that don't hold up in the realm of the real world. It'd be great if we could always show up at the right place at the right time, or walk into a bar and order a "beer" and magically get exactly what we were thinking of; but thus is not how the real world works.

Text - SirFrogger • 4h Most "knockout" drugs don't work very fast. Chloroform is always depicted to be some "instant- knockout" drug when in reality it takes several minutes of constant exposure to knock someone unconscious. I'd guess a bad guy standing there for seven minutes waiting for the hero to pass out would probably make for a boring movie. Reply 6.2k
