Fly via the power of their own bodies
Be effectively immortal just in case you decide to become a masked serial/spree killer
A more "down to Earth one": decide "yeah, I'm sure I can do parkour, and I'm sure it's a good idea to try it" when you're a cop chasing a perp, even though you've never done parkour before, and even though you're not that athletic normally.

Sorry, I guess I should have excluded fantasy and supernatural films. I really meant films that purport to show life "realistically". Your last example is a valid one, though. |

Perhaps BAT meant using someone else's computer to bypass passwords or find stuff intended to be concealed? I know some hackers are brilliant but it cannot be as quick or easy as often depicted, especially when the perps are not even IT specialists. Incidentally why do such people only use the keyboard and never a mouse? |

In horror movies, modern ones, when people either don't use their phones or forget to do what comes second nature to owning a phone like charging them or they dropped them b/c they didn't place them in their pocket.

Related to scrapbooking, someone on the trail of a killer or some mystery fills up a bulletin board or wall or city map with newspaper clippings, pushpins and lines drawn to connect points. Somehow it will all become clear if you can just SEE it.

I would say anything that involves instant disappearance/reappearances from non-magical beings.
If anything they need to redo the camera angle to show how Batman simply disappears out of a bank vault without anyone noticing. It would be hilarious.

Incidentally why do such people only use the keyboard and never a mouse? NOPE …. What Bat meant was … In movies or TV programs (especially those involving detecting) they are always able to sit down at their computer and within seconds (minutes at most) find out the entire life history of someone whose identity they are totally just guessing or details of what they are looking for. Like tappity tap... BINGO ! It takes me longer than that to just find an image or a reference or link to go with an IMDb-V2 post !
Nothing to do with hacking or password busting , as usual the OP has misread what I was saying. |

Have unprotected sex regularly.
Turn on the TV to the exact moment a newscast talks about a story that is important to the plot.
Use guns and other weapons with ease without any or with few lessons.
Fall through windows without getting cut up.

People not explaining things.
Most misunderstandings could be settled within 5 seconds if people actually talked.
It's the biggest issue I have with timelines and shows how something is scripted.

Standing there when someone has a gun pointed at you.
That'll increase your chances of getting hit 1 gazillion percent

Walking calmly away from a massive explosion occurring behind you. Throw in dropping two handguns or an automatic rifle during said walk away.

Walking calmly away from a massive explosion occurring behind you. Throw in dropping two handguns or an automatic rifle during said walk away. What? You forget to bring your hand grenades to work with you or something? Borrow someone else's hand grenades. I got to wonder if film makers intend those scenes to be stupidly funny. About the computers. The poster who said finding something right away doesn't happen in real life, well that poster is correct. The nature of internet is that whatever gets the most "hits" comes up first. If you're looking for a cage being sold in Nicholasville, the first billion pages are going to be about Nicholas Cage. Never seen a search engine in today's internet that was worth crap. Really like the post about standing still with a gun pointed at you. If the person freezes, I understand, but the actor makes it clear he isn't frozen, just somehow calm and cool. In real life, that makes you a target. I'll add "going with someone who has a gun on you." Letting the kidnapper tie you up, take you an unknown secluded location in which you can't possibly know where you are, and thinking your odds are better than making the killer kill you in front of a dozen witnesses". I've actually been there. I don't go with kidnappers. People don't get kidnapped for ransoms most of the time. Kidnappers are just demonic beings out to control others. Your only chance is to dare them to kill you in the middle of a crowd. Another one I'll add is the way the movies show people acting nonchalant around dead bodies, as though guts and dead bodies don't smell. It works in comedies to have people drink eat, kiss, be natural, around corpses, but it fails in action and drama. Hot wiring a car. Very few people can do this. I've been shown how, and I can't do it. I've had cheap autos that I had to do it to in order to start up, but in those cases we had to take apart lots of parts to get the ignition capable of being started by a tool, and even then it took over three seconds to start after being ready. Even experienced mechanics take longer to do it than people in movies. It isn't something you do in three seconds. Big myth. Being knocked out and knocking people out all the time. Then getting back up as though it didn't affect you. Good guys always get killed easy. Bad guys never miss, unless they're aiming at a big muscular hero twice the target area size of their earlier victims. Good guys are killed immediately after one shot, magically. But bad guys have to be shot fifty times, then they still can't die, until the star kills them. This dates back to classic Greek demi gods, and is used by the mob to induce people to think that mobsters are demi gods over them. Moderate people smoking. Never seen a smoker in real life who was calm and cool like the movies portray them. Tobacco companies tie with the other three main interest groups for most heavy handed propaganda in films. Every citizen carries a gun. Every male character who survives a disaster is either a gang member, a hit man, or some other exotic Hollywood icon. The 1965-1990 era was worst about this. Again, this is mobster propaganda, and it really has influenced the feeble minded public into accepting it as reality. |

Knock someone out with just a single punch to the face.
Have a high speed chase on city streets without or with little traffic.
Cops never getting reprimanded for causing city destruction as they pursue a suspect
Having a soldier like Rambo take on an entire army and accurately kill everyone with ease while the enemy guards never hit the soldier when they shoot at them.
