Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

    Getting knocked out for a length of time after being hit on the head is likely going to cause pretty significant brain injury or death.

    CPR is so hilariously bad and completely against what is taught in even first aid classes. This includes hospital based medical dramas. CPR is also always successful in movies, but relatively rarely in real life.

    If a man and woman consume alcohol, there’s an 80% chance that it’s about to transition into a sex scene.

    Explosions release a crazy amount of fire. In reality explosions are violently expanding gases with almost no flame seen.

    Poverty is rarely ever shown accurately. Malcolm in the MIddle was a good example though.

    Forensics and science concepts in general are usually fabricated or badly screwed up for the convenience of the plot. “Zoom and enhance!!”

      Also, if a woman vomits without first consuming alcohol, that means she’s pregnant. Bonus points if it’s in the morning.

        Some quotes are so unique, you’ll never come across again and they deserve to be immortalised.
