crime is investigated and doctors treat people

The movie version of being "knocked out".

Someone is knocked unconscious for long enough to be moved to a new location and probably tied up. And they wake up just fine. They're able to engage in witty banter with their captor. If they manage to break free they're able to fight effectively.

The reality? A massive concussion. Extreme disorientation. Likely to puke if they have to move much.

If you ever watch a "knockout" in boxing or MMA, the unconsciousness lasts a seconds at most, mostly not even a second. Someone's knees go wobbly then they recover, but they're still disoriented and uncoordinated. If they're out for longer than a second or two, everyone's concerned and the fighter is rushed to the hospital.

What pisses me of is when major studios make an entire show about a specific profession but cant be bothered to consult anyone from said profession

When there's a countdown in a movie where something must be done before it's finished but the entire scene takes longer than the countdown.

PUT. SOMETHING. IN THE FUCKING CUPS.

Beans, orbies, just make special weighted cups for sets. No actor in the history of acting has picked up an empty paper coffee cup and gestured with it as if it had something in it.

And while we’re at it.. in this the year two thousand and twenty five, how do we still not have prop ice that floats?

One of the many things that annoys me about the sitcom Big Bang Theory is that as pedantic as Sheldon is, not once does he ever complain to Penny about the lack of headrests in her car. You'd think he'd refuse to ride until she replaced them. Totally immersion breaking.

Forensic experts cover themselves completely, including a face mask and hood, so they don't pollute a scene. They're not there in full glam.

No, there isn't an alert for when your computer system is under an attack. It would go off constantly because every script kiddie is trying an attack 24/7. There also isn't an alert for when the firewall is penetrated because the whole point of the penetration is that you wouldn't detect it and they can quietly steal data.

Stealing gold instead? It weighs a lot. That gold bar you're casually carrying between your finger tips actually weights as much as a reasonable big dumbbell. (16 oz bottle / half liter of gold weights very roughly as much as 2.5 gallon / 10 liter of water or 20 pound / 10 kg)

And every time people are casually thrown into walls. Meanwhile people go to the hospital after a bit of a bad fall when cleaning the gutter.

This is the first time I have noticed the selection of CDs on the sun visor.

When two people stare at each other while talking for several minutes and one of them is driving.

No one secures the neck strap on motorcycles or puts the key in. There is always a motorcycle with a helmet sitting on it with the key inside.

Scientists doing everything and coming up with ideas on their own without any assistants or collaboration. They are also somehow mad genius experts on every field, like they are also physicist, biologist and engineer all in one. Most scientists in real life are specialist because it is impossible to be a generalist. There are also no such thing as home laboratories. You can't work in an uncontrolled and unregulated environment because it affects not just results of experiments, but health and safety is a major issue if things go awry.

and a lot of tv show car scenes ate filmed on a lowbed tow truck. once you notice the height difference you can't really unsee it.

Something that bugged me in the new Stranger Things. In one episode, El turns on a flashlight. It's a mag light, with a click button, but she twists it on and the sfx person still put in a button clicking noise. I'm pretty sure the light beam itself was vfx, too.

Happy family time and joined breakfast with bacon and cereal every morning.

The thing that completely takes me out of the movie / show whenever I see it is people who get knocked backwards by bullets / shotgun blasts. The maximum amount of momentum transferred by a bullet or pack of shotgun pellets is the same amount as the shove it gives to the shooter's hands or shoulder.

If it's in a Chinese Gun Fu, Wire Fu, Gun Wuxia type movie where everything is slightly fantastical, I can accept it as a kind of over-the-top element of that style. But, it really bothers me when it happens in something that's otherwise fairly realistic.

In The Shining, when the family is being given a tour of the hotel fairly early in the movie, they get shown the walk in fridge. There is a shot of the door to the fridge from the hallway and then a cut to a shot from the back of the fridge looking toward the door. The hinges are on opposite sides between the two shots. Immersion ruined.

People almost never misspeak or mishear anything.

Texting someone? This is the first time you're doing it. No text history ever.
Doing something that requires a thing? That thing is always new and fresh and has never been used because its a fucking prop.
Just lots of unrealistic things benign things in movies I never noticed when I was younger. Now it just pisses me off for some reason.

"Over and Out". No, it's either "Over" or "Out".

Close your fucking dust cover.

You salute when wearing a hat.

To me it's 2 things.

Driving with their windows down against reflections when filmed from the outside, even during rain, freezing temps and snow. Or when someone tries to grab them and they get in a car, apparently putting their window down before driving away, then to be grabbed through the window.

Other thing is roughly 600 bullets in a gun magazine, plus regular cars being completely bulletproof. Even when driving in full machine gun fire from a gun with thousands of bullets in a 30 round magazine, at most a window gets popped.

You after cars in movies, if they actually had a crash:
