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
