Annoyingly Unrealistic Movie Logic Moments


Yeah, if only life were actually like the movies sometimes. But alas, instead, this is the real world baby. People have things like morning breath, gifts can be impossibly hard to wrap, or the outlandish terminology that's dispensed when it comes to describing the shady underworld of hacking. Movies certainly take their liberties when it comes to "portraying" the real world. Oh well, that can make for a great part of the escape from reality.

Text - tahonng • 3h 1 Award The way gifts are wrapped. They're always in boxes with actual lids (like shoe boxes, not ones with flaps) and the lid is wrapped separately from the box so when the open the present, they just lift the lid. Also, if there's a ribbon wrapped around it, the ribbon's not taped on and slides right off. Has anyone ever done this in real life?! Reply 2.3k ...

Text - kcpt4z • 4h 3 1 Award The total lack of acknowledgment of water needs when people are wandering around in post-apocalyptic settings. As a hiker and backpacker, awareness of my next water source is a huge issue. Scenes where a group are passing around a single canteen, some pouring water on their heads, are obviously scripted by someone who has never been out in the wilderness. Q Reply 1 3.8k

Text - RooR_ • 4h 3 1 Award How they fantasize relationships between men and women. No one acts like that, and it can put unreasonable expectations in the head of teenagers and young adults who are just starting to date. Reply 572

Text - demonardvark • 4h Most fight scenes Bar fight, guy gets hit with six broken chairs, several bottles broken over his head, still gets up fine and fights off like twenty other guys. real fighting is the most physically exhausting thing you can do. your average person would barely last a minute. most street fights are one of two punches before they get winded. athletes have to do insane amount of endurance training and conditioning to be able to fight. three minutes in the ring will feel lik

Text - theWildBore • 4h 3 Awards I always enjoy watching lab scenes. People looking into microscopes that aren't even turned on or plugged in. No one has gloves on or their hair pulled back.. unrelated formulas scrolled on whiteboards. And always, I mean all fucking ways, if they are in a lab, be it a biology lab, physics, what have you.... there will be chemistry glassware too. Reply 1 6.8k 3 + ...

Text - TechyDad • 3h 1 Award As a guy who works with computers, pretty much any computer scene - especially hacking scenes. "If I bypass the firewall using a SQL protocol, I can load the XML into the CSS stack and update the database to cross the JavaScript and SVG streams... And I'm in!" Much of that is legitimate terminology, but used in a very wrong manner. Reply 1 861 ...

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??? Reply 3.5k ...

Text - VaDem33 • 4h 1 Award 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 !! Reply 1.1k ...

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 damn big, and I can't imagine getting totally lost there would be all that difficult. Reply 120 ...

Text - RosaBr • 3h When people are driving and randomly moving the steering wheel back and forth while also looking solely at the passenger they're talking to and never once at the road. Once I started driving I realised how sensitive the wheels are and how the tiniest adjustment with steering makes the whole car go side to side Reply 428 ...

Text - WatchTheBoom • 4h It's very clear which movies/shows don't do their research when it comes to representing the military. It's not a movie, but I made a post about the show Virgin River and how ignorantly they portray a community of veterans- in case you're unaware, anyone who has ever worn a uniform is basically a more virtuous version of Captain America.

Text - Northern_Way • 3h 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
