We see some things happen so often in movies that they start to seep into our reality. We totally think they’re real. Like thinking the asteroid belt is some dangerous road or that firing a gun to break a lock works or that silencers truly silence a weapon. But nope! Those are all myths that can’t ever happen in real life.
Here are 10 movie myths from AllTime10s. Some we know but don’t want to believe (explosions in space), some we still hold out hope to work (like using a cigarette to light an explosion):
Breaking a huge fall with water
Big loud fireball explosions in space
Asteroid belt is dense and crowded
Cigarettes can light gasoline
Shoot a lock with a gun
Exposure in space means blowing up
Defibrillators can save someone flatlining
Silencers are super quiet
Shooting a gas tank can cause an explosion
Takes time on a phone call to find a location
