  • cool guys don't look at explosions.

  • Welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 things.

  • Hollywood always gets wrong for this list.

  • We'll be looking at common, inaccurate depictions of objects, events and experiences.

  • What's the fact you can't stand filmmakers getting wrong in a movie?

  • Let us know in the comments, number 10 gun silencers.

  • Do you have any idea how loud a gun can be when fired?

  • Depending on the size of the weapon, it can exceed 100 and 60 decibels.

  • So despite what every murder mystery and buddy cop flick might tell you, a silencer is not going to make it sound like a quick poof of air while a suppressor can reduce the muzzle blast, it doesn't silence it.

  • There's also still mechanical noise from the gun itself and the sonic boom created by the bullet and no, a pillow is not going to mask the sound coming out of a gun.

  • Either number nine parking in a big city, watch any Tv show or movie and you're guaranteed to see someone parked their car in a spot right in front of their building.

  • You can't do that.

  • You can't just sneak in from the bank like that.

  • I'm not sneaking.

  • I didn't even know you were just sitting there three spaces.

  • If you've ever lived in a place like new york, you know, you're more likely to win the lottery than have this happen first.

  • I look for the dream spot right in front of the door.

  • Then I slowly expand out in concentric circles.

  • It may be fairly common to see it on screen, but in the real world you're more likely stuck parking two or three blocks away and having to walk to wherever you're going.

  • We'll suspend our disbelief for the entertainment factor.

  • But we know this rarely happens in the real world.

  • Look out.

  • This place is swarming with campus security.

  • They will not hesitate to scold us number eight holding breath underwater.

  • The current Guinness world record for holding your breath underwater is just shy of 25 minutes but don't let that record or Hollywood films fool you.

  • She's trying to break the world record.

  • I can't look if she's not up in 10 seconds, call an ambulance.

  • Unlike what we see on the big screen, the average person can't hold their breath underwater for more than a minute or so, 2.5 minutes to switch the security profile.

  • 30 seconds to escape through the service hatch.

  • Remember conserve oxygen.

  • Yet somehow we consistently see action heroes and countless others seemingly holding their breath forever.

  • Even while being shot at only experienced free divers who have trained for years can hold their breath for long periods of time.

  • It requires specific techniques such as hyperventilating and training your body how to handle the C.

  • 02 you produce while holding your breath and all I'm focused is to try to hear my heartbeat number seven screeching tires.

  • If Hollywood were to be believed, every car, truck or van on the planet would screech its tires when you hit the gas.

  • It's a common trope seen in countless movies and Tv shows but bears little resemblance to the real world.

  • Yes, hires can make that awful noise but that requires a lot of friction and just isn't the case for regular driving action sequences involving vehicles and film are often filled with tension.

  • So the addition of a little squealing adds a sense of urgency to a scene.

  • But for the real world, you're only likely to hear it on a very hard break or maybe a street race.

  • We used to come here, come here, we invented it.

  • Number six corsets.

  • Watch any period piece that shows women getting dressed and odds are you'll see them in a corset.

  • Often corsets are depicted as being incredibly tight, even painful.

  • I'm told it's the latest fashion in London.

  • Well, women in London must have learned not to breathe in reality a corset was worn over a shamis rather than against bare skin and designed to provide support as well as for waste reduction.

  • There you are all finished now you can breathe.

  • There's nothing left to breathe with no corset.

  • Men also wore them, although it was less common.

  • Sure they were laced around the body to form a particular shape, but as long as the fit of the garment was correct.

  • The person wearing it would not experience the immobility and discomfort often shown on screen.

  • Never would have thought of that.

  • Clearly you've never been to Singapore number five climbing through air ducts, john McClane may have snuck through nakatomi plaza by squeezing into an air duct, but the chances of making a clean getaway are far less likely to get together have a few lifts.

  • Since the duct work is only ever meant to carry air, it's unlikely that the thin sheet metal would support the weight of the average sized adult nick.

  • You've never gone along one of my prints before.

  • This is exciting.

  • I never noticed you can't have a girl.

  • But plus let's not forget the fact that often those ducks are far too small to fit anyone other than a child.

  • You may want to leave them for what they were designed for tv dinner feels like number four Cpr cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CpR as it's commonly known, is a life saving medical procedure that can be performed by most individuals and I'm going to find the center of the chest interlock my fingers and begin my 30 chest compressions at least two inches deep and at least 100 times a minute.

  • A series of chest compressions are used to help restore blood flow until the patient can be treated properly.

  • Unfortunately, Hollywood often gets the use of cpR wrong arm and hand positions are often completely inaccurate when depicted on film and in the real world, patients don't miraculously revive and continue on their merry way after receiving such treatment.

  • Ok.

  • Ok.

  • Really?

  • Miami beach if you're going to learn how to help someone who's had a heart attack, you may want to take a course on Cpr versus watching it in a movie, number three, explosive shock waves.

  • If there's anything the mythbusters have taught us, it's that explosions cause serious damage even from far away.

  • How many times have you seen action heroes being blown clear of an explosion only to stand up and walk away from it.

  • Still alive, aren't you?

  • Yeah, Alright, you Yeah.

  • As much as we want to think of the hero as being invulnerable, any blast hard enough to blow you clear, would either kill you outright or seriously injure you?

  • The shock wave that follows an explosion can often be more dangerous than the explosion itself, Combine the concussive force with that of shrapnel flying towards you and you're not going to just get up and walk away.

  • Well, maybe they're just a little bit more creative than you think.

  • # two, a woman's water breaking in virtually any fictional story told about a woman giving birth, there's mention of her quote, water breaking.

  • Oh, you're leaking.

  • This typically precedes the delivery of a newborn baby and is completely normal.

  • However, when shown on film, the breaking of the water usually translates into the baby being born within minutes.

  • We have to take you to the hospital.

  • Now.

  • Thebes Thebes the babies are coming now, although it does happen, it's far more likely that a woman will have a considerable amount of time before her child will be, born every pregnancy is different, but the contractions that trigger the actual childbirth can begin as late as 24 hours after the water breaks.

  • It's very unlikely the baby will pop out within minutes of the big splash.

  • The process of breaking into another computer is never as glamorous or cool looking as it is in the movies.

  • There are no fancy holograms or visuals that hackers dig through.

  • Type cookie.

  • You idiot.

  • I'll head them off at the past.

  • In fact, it's more just screen after screen of text and typing more than anything else given how vanilla hacking in real life looks.

  • It's no surprise that filmmakers embellished to look for entertainment purposes.
