grenades have huge explosions
Cars don't burn easily... unless it's a Pinto.
The pinto was no more flammable than any other car. They were known for rear end collisions causing fire (not explosions) do to there being no fire wall between the gas tank and the passenger compartment
Evidently in Movies when it comes to computers you can always save the world with just a Keyboard no Mouse required.
you can actually do most things without a mouse tbh
This hits home. One time, on a major road with 55mph speed limit, I came to a stop at a red light. Looked up in my mirror, and saw a fuel truck coming at full speed behind me. No brakes, no horn, no nothing. I pulled out into the intersection and he sped through the red light, and THEN hit his brakes.
I would have been toast if I hadn't looked in my mirror that one time. I thought my car would explode like it does in the movies.
Probably not, but you could've been seriously injured.
Wouldn’t explode but most likely crushed. Not to put that picture in your head but good quick thinking there!
I actually miss when helicopters exploded in every movie. They only had to look at a building and they would burst into a huge fireball. It was campy but it was entertaining. Gritty reality has it's place but there have been a few recent films that haven't been as fun as they could have been.
The thing that gets me is when people are shoot and fine the next day. I was shot in the shoulder in Afghanistan and the first 3 days my body was so sore I could hardly take a deep breath. It took six weeks of rehabilitation to get my hand over my head and I had to learn to write again took about 9 months. And to this day my shoulder still hurts constantly and I can't pick up much weight over my head or do pull ups.
If they revisit/expand this list they should add gun silencers. Even a .22 LR with a silencer is going to be in the 110 dB range (equivalent to a running chainsaw).
Back in the Vietnam war,the Special Forces guys would go deep behind enemy lines and they had silencers, but they were really called suppressors and nicknamed hush puppies, because SF guys would shoot dogs/puppies.Suppressors were designed so that the sound wouldn't carry,but also,suppressors were designed to confuse the enemy of what type of weapon was used.The suppressors that Special Forces use now sound like ants F*CKING,which means,you can't hear nothing.
A few movie myths that always bug me: 1. "Silencers" on guns make them whisper-quiet 2. Bullets are still deadly underwater 3. Humans falling at terminal velocity will magically be okay (i.e. not smashed to a bloody pulp) as long as their fall is stopped by something before they reach the ground...yeah, this includes Superman or Ironman catching you! 4. Getting knocked unconscious is no big deal.
'Persistence is Romantic' thing is extremely common in Asian cinema. As an Indian, I have watched movies where that syndrome goes to places beyond just a simple stalking. It is wide spread too. There are hardly any movies that doesn't show romance in that angle.
That is one of the reasons people's version of romance is skewed in India and we have incidents where a person stabs someone or acid attacks just because of rejections.
And the one famous dialogue, Ladki ki Naa mein hi haan hoti hain! (When a girl says No, it's Yes)...
I mean, come on! That thing is widespread in every language cinema of India...
I guess, that's why Indian Man doesn't understand No means No, because they see different in the virtual world... 🤦🏻♂️
They say you don’t gotta wait 24 hours to report a missing person but all documentaries I’ve seen usually has a cop saying that to the families or saying they probably ran away wasting valuable time in finding that person alive
If they're found at all
Maybe that’s how it used to be
Laws have changed you had to wait 48hours then 24 now with the case that started the amber alert is what started the change, it just recently changed
@@ibaconbits8997 source?
@@fortifarse me being alive before the amber alert 😂
Quick sand. I spent way too much time as a child believing that this was an absolute plausible way that I could die as an adult living in Southern Ontario, Canada 🥴😭
Just proves that some grand gestures can be rather creepy, whether anyone knows it or not. Sure, it's just movie fodder at best, but in real life, it's bound to end with a possible restraining order. In other words, if that person is just not into you, let it go and find someone else who is.
I was a teen in the late 80s and early 90s, when this type of thinking was arguably in its heyday. Regretfully, I did some, well, not over-abundant gestures but some courting that overstayed its welcome. No touching, and from what I could tell not downright creeping anyone out, but making them annoyed and uncomfortable - yes, definitely. I cringe at myself just thinking about it all these years later. The mere idea that an uninterested girl just had to be worn down and convinced of my greatness! The simple truth is, she either likes you or not, no quick fix exists and respect for her expressed wishes should be maintained at all times. I think and hope that I'm a better man now, and that I will raise my son to be a better man from the start.
@@erikthompson619 definitely the best way to do for your son. I'm not a parent, but I respect that all the same.
The ease it takes to break someone's neck or choke them out into unconsciousness 😅
Or that choking someone out kills them, not making them unconscious for under 60 seconds.
morning sickness is caused by the woman's natural immunity perceiving the baby as a sign of illness or parasitic infection. but when the pregnancy hormones kick in, the body identifies the baby as a developing human. though it takes a ultrasound to tell if the baby is a boy, girl, or if you have multiple births. the only bad outcome would be if the baby is disabled or has sign of growing up as a psycho.
- If you are underwater without goggles or a mask, you cannot discern hand gestures, read a map, crack a safe, or disarm a nuclear bomb.
- Also if you are underwater, most people can only hold their breath for about 15 seconds.
- During an actual fist-fight, 98% of all punches claim nothing but air.
- There really isn't any such thing as a barroom brawl. The bouncers break up the fight and toss the participants in about 60 seconds.
- Very few historical figures, athletes, or otherwise real people look much like Elizabeth Taylor, Margot Robbie, or Leonardo DiCaprio.
- If you lose an arm or a leg, you're not gonna be in much shape to do much anything other than go into shock and pass out.
- Even if it is real, the Loch Ness Monster doesn't look much like a dinosaur.
- If you're anywhere near a river/lake of lava, you're gonna be burned to a crisp within seconds.
- Very few if any timed explosives have ever had a digital readout of exactly how much time is left before the kaboom.
Great points. And I'm pretty sure old Nessy has been proven to be a whale penis
15 seconds is an incredibly short time frame and not correct. I just tried it and I held my breath for 31 seconds and I could've held it for longer. I just googled it and apparently on average people can hold their breath between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. 15 is insanely short. Don't know where you got that info from. The rest of your facts I didn't read or check so I don't know.
1:08 And this moment teaches us all about spontaneous combustion without even the requisite crash! LOL!

that 24 hours thing was true in the early 80s and 90s. there were more than a few unsolved mysteries where the police told this to would-be victims
Car doors and table tops stop bullets. Lately I’ve really noticed the trope where every river or stream in the movies end in a waterfall.
Maybe my mom is the exception, but i beared witness when my grandpa sucked the venom of a pygmy copperhead out of my mom's ankle immediately after she was bit. Doctor even said that he saved her life because the nearest hospital was a 40 minute drive. I'm not saying he got all the venom. He didn't. Her leg up to mid thigh turned purple, but she made a full recovery.
What about the 'flynning' effect in sword-fights (i.e. the phenomenon that sword-fights always involve clanging of the blades against each other and the blades retain their good quality afterward)?
100% knew I was pregnant thanks to morning sickness 😬
The waiting 24 hrs to report someone missing is true in many cases but not all. It is always best to call as soon as the person is suspected missing, but if they are an adult, often times the police will ask to wait at least 24 hrs before filing a report. It also depends on the state laws. But it is very true, and has lead to too many people being found too late. I listen to true crime all the time.
The number 1 was also featured on myth busters if memory serves me. The hero would have either been blown down like 5he last clip or have serious internal injuries depending on the explosion
The movie loaded weapon one makes fun of people being shot there bodies thrown in the air.
And we saw a young beardless Simon Whistler in the wild… lol
Came to the comments searching for this observation. Thank you.
eating 30 minutes before swimming
4:45 lmfao is that Simon, I don't even recognise him w/o his beard anymore 🤣
Can you do top 10 actors who could play the Red Hood in the DCEU?
Jensen Ackles should be the top pick, unless they can use someone more action movie oriented
"I must extract the venom before it spreads through his veins! Like in the movies."
Filing missing report really can only happen after 24 hrs, or atleast in here, London, the UK. India has the same thing too, you cannot file a missing person before 24 hours. Or you are just talking about the US.
How about gun silencers sounding like kittens sneezing
"cars don't blow up all the time"
well unless it's a Ford Pinto
Seems you don’t know a lot about early pregnancy signs. A fairly large percentage of women don’t miss a period right away.
Years ago, my cousin was pregnant with her first child and she didn't realize it. At that time she was a little overweight, she noticed she was gaining weight but didn't think much of it. She still had her period and she didn't get sick. Our Aunt convinced her to go to the doctor there she learned she was nine months pregnant and she gave her birth few days later.
"Fer Chrissake, we're not doing a fricking documentary here!"
"No, of course I'm not a cop!" Cops don't have to tell you the truth, in fact they're advised to lie to you if it might get you to confess to a crime. That's why lawyers always tell you, "Don't talk to the cops." Cops also routinely make people think they're just getting questioned as a witness, when really, the person is a suspect.
Even a missed period isn't 100%. A woman could be late. Or, in the case of a friend of mine, continuie having periods throughout her pregnancy m
The same thing happened to my cousin. She had her period through her pregnancy.
Worst one. Being shot in the shoulder is not lethal
I hate when characters get knocked unconscious and are fine when they wake up. If you get hit in the head and lose consciousness for several hours, that means you have a severe concussion and need to get medical attention immediately!
In the multiverse, all the movie myths actually are true.
Thumbs up for the Major Payne clip 😅
Hi, Maybe next you could do Unnatural history from 2010 from Cartoon Network and it's only one season, thank you.
Cool guy rule #1: Don't look at explosions.
Just walk away slooooow
How when someone handles a semi auto handgun it always sounds like a few pebbles tumbling inside a cup.
Or how when a handgun is brandished towards someone the sound of the hammer being cocked is heard yet visually the hammer isn't cocked.
The opening scene in Logan when his wheels were being stolen by those crooks. We hear the sounds of a pneumatic air impact gun yet when the scene cuts to outside the limo the crooks were only using hand tools.
Ha! Using Simon Whistler as a reference! A TH-cam video quoting a TH-cam video!
Can you do comic book origin of DC Azrael?
Number 5 seems like a Hollywood ploy to make it easier to kidnap kids :O. Conspiracy!
I dont think they would Sell Cars if they Explode that easy :))
Also that hacking in movies is so easy
Shouldn't have used the scene from Rush Hour, because the has C4 in the trunk :D
Newton's 3rd law. Agree people don't fly but the firearm does have an equal and opposite reaction. It's called recoil. The response is of the roun leaving the muzzle. Not hitting the target. I don't you quite understand shooting mechanics.
Did you know a vehicle in a movie will have no dirt on it at all
What would happen if these movie myths never existed?
Then we'd be like burned out toaster ovens
IT GOT DEBUNKED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fair, that sucking out the poison won't help. But, poison tastes delicious. So, weigh the pros and cons.
Rush hour guy had come in the truck
Title of the video, top 10 movie myths. Actual video, top 10 movie tropes. Two completely different things.
And......there's Simon Whistler
My oldest daughter took off n was gone for 18 hours we called the cops immediately and they were on within minutes. Screw that 24 hr thing.

Rush hour the car blew up because of c4 not the gas tank lol doesn't matter
Uuummmmm...you're wrong about gas tanks "having very little air" in them statement. The amount of air fluctuates all the time in them. You ever suck the air out of a plastic coke bottle? That's what your gas tank would look like if there was no air in them and you only had half a tank of fuel.
4:40 Holy shit he looks younger and cleanshaven. Prefer the beard.
The only car that *can* explode is a pinto.
I'm posible
How long it takes to asphyxiate someone.
I've seen so many scenes where they basically just squeeze the neck a bit for 5 seconds and the person is dead. For once I'd like a movie to really REALLY show the horror of asphyxiation. No Country for Old Men did it better than all the rest, but still not brutal enough imo.
