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

Loudness of gunshots. Every action hero would be deaf.

Archers being told to "hold". Nobody's holding a +100lbs warbow.

Sprinklers. In the vast majority of cases they react to heat - not smoke. They only go off individually rather than all at once and the water inside the pipes is black ink-like rust water sludge, not clear tap water.

Also another plumbing related: you don't need a huge wrench under the sink and drains are not pressurized so there's no water spraying anywhere when you mess with the p-trap.

Also archers being told to "fire"

as firing didn't exist until gunpowder, the instruction wouldn't make sense. Like telling a soldier now to "activate the positronic tacyons!" instead of "fire"

Also they didn't really do massive coordinated volleys
