Things that only happen in movies, not reality


List things that never occur in real life. I’ll start.

1) a small yank on a necklace/chain will remove it 1st go
2) swords make metal on metal sounds when removing from leather scabbards
3) cars go airborne and flip when rear-ending other cars
4) computers beep constantly as you use them

Choreographed fight scenes, especially in action movies. Real life fights are usually very awkward, with a lot of flailing around, badly aimed punches, stumbling, grabbing, and gasping for breath.

Smart ass kids on television are funny. Smart ass kids in real life not so much.

The FBI and CIA are nowhere near as cool as they're portrayed.

Very True. I went to college with a guy who is now a senior investigator with the RCMP. He has worked on fraud/organized crime and terrorisms cases. He says 70% of his job is sitting at his desk going through databases/financial info/preparing reports/reading reports.case files and so on.
