Watching American films, an attentive viewer may notice how often certain scenes are repeated. Whether it's a police chase, a military battle, or an adventure, Hollywood filmmakers are full of movie stamps. And many of them are very far from real life. Further in our review - in more detail about those deceptions that everyone believed in based on the plots of the films.
1. Arrest

Thanks to films and TV shows, most often of American production, almost all people firmly believe that when you are arrested you should be read out your rights. Fans of detectives and action films already know the phrases by heart: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to a lawyer. If you cannot pay for the services of a lawyer, he will be provided to you by the state. " In the movies, American cops pronounce them, handcuffing the offender.
In real life, during arrest, no one or anyone reads anything out during arrest. At most, the offender will be asked to show the documents, otherwise the arrest takes place in deathly silence. The suspect's rights are read to him during the first interrogation. Moreover, real police officers, unlike cinematic ones, do not rely on their memory and read the rights from the card that each of them has.
2. Shot
Often in films, we see how a person who has been shot is actually thrown back. And many viewers really believe in this, considering it logical that a bullet that develops a high speed during flight can knock a person down. In fact, this is just a gimmick of the cinema. If the bullet had such force, the same recoil force would act on the shooter. So he would have fallen as well as his victim. Nothing supernatural, simple physics. The only thing that can knock a person who was shot from his feet is pain.
3. The right to call
If you watch Western detective stories, thrillers and crime dramas, you know for sure that the detainee is entitled to one phone call. However, according to Novate.ru, this is a fiction. There are no rules about the number of phone calls, everything is decided by the investigator. If he thinks that your call will interfere with the investigation, the detainee will not be allowed to call at all, and if the police will decide that your contacts with the world are harmless or even useful, they will allow you to call how many whatever.
4. Flaming meteorite
Now the number of films about the fall of the meteorite has diminished significantly, but previously they were very popular. However, enough has been filmed in the past to convince people that a meteorite is a huge, incandescent object that falls to Earth, burning everything around.
However, anyone with a little interest in space knows that meteorites are actually very cold. And the fiery trail that appears behind them in the sky is the air of the atmosphere, which burns due to the high-speed movement of the object.
5. Put a person to sleep with chloroform
Scenes where someone is euthanized with a cloth dipped in chloroform are not uncommon in cinematography. It is not surprising that many believe that it is very easy to put a person to sleep in this way. In reality, a few drops of this remedy will most likely have no effect on an adult. According to Novate.ru, in order for the substance to work, you need to inhale a large amount of it for 5 minutes, and sometimes longer. Unsurprisingly, criminals don't actually use chloroform. But in anesthesiology, he is quite popular.
6. DNA in amber
The myth that DNA can be stored in amber for millennia came about thanks to the film Jurassic Park. As the film proved to be very popular, many viewers took the cinematic fiction at face value. However, this is just fiction. DNA cannot be preserved for so long neither in amber, nor in any other rocks. So, unfortunately or fortunately, it will not work to revive dinosaurs in this way.
7. Bodies for autopsy
In many films and TV series, after the discovery of a corpse and police work at the crime scene, the bodies are immediately sent for autopsy. In the morgue, the pathologist immediately gets to work in order to shed light on the details of the crime and help colleagues as soon as possible. Yes, no matter how. In life, everything is different and not because real workers are supposedly lazy ignoramuses. The main reason is that until the blood clots, it is simply stupid to start an autopsy, otherwise the laboratory will be completely dirty. And this takes at least a day.
8. Shooting
In adventure films, we often see tough guys shoot two pistols at once. In fact, this idea is very meaningless. The fact is that you can shoot with two pistols at once, but you cannot hit the target. Human eyes are simply not designed to keep focus on two scopes at the same time. Therefore, in real life, the so-called. only a few are capable of mastering shooting in Macedonian style.

9. Grenade
Brave officers, as well as other desperate characters, more than once demonstrated their coolness to the viewer, pulling out the pin of the grenade with their teeth. However, for those who are familiar with this type of warheads, such cinematic chips are simply ridiculous. The thing is that the check is a fuse and it is not so easy to pull it out, and it should not be easy. If you do this trick in reality, you can easily be left without teeth.
10. Quicksand
In a number of films, the hero, stepping on quicksand, begins to plunge into it rapidly. At this moment, the viewer realizes that his affairs are very bad and only a miracle can save him. Yes, the scary quicksand that killed many of the movie characters is a myth. In reality, such traps are just a mixture of sand and clay that can pull a person up to their waist and then push them back out. Of course, you will be very dirty, but alive.
