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

Shitty fire sfx. Holy fucking shit, why is the campfire almost as loud as the fucking dialog!? Snap, crackle, pop! It’s so fucking grating.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Wait … I never noticed that!!!

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.

Rearview mirrors get removed too. Sometimes, especially on column-shift cars, the transmission is still in park.

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.
