If i had to pick, it would have been how characters uses guns.
The villain jumps out of nowhere, and trains his gun on the hero.
The hero is unarmed, unprepared, and helpless. He can do nothing against the villain’s gun. He’s completely defenseless.
Then the idiotic villain walks up, and holds the gun right against his head.
Inevitably, the hero will do a cool move, twist the gun out of his hand, and turn it on him.
Sacré bleu! How could this happen?
In real life, that is the dumbest possible move you could make in that situation.
You’re holding a gun. You can shoot hundreds of feet.
He has hands. They can punch about 3 feet.
Even if you stand just 10 feet away, he’s helpless. Absolutely no chance. You have complete control. Why the hell would you ever put the gun against his head, within range of his hands?
Stay back, keep some space, and you have him dead to rights. He can’t do a thing.
Do you really think a professional assassin doesn’t know this? Or a rogue cop? Or an ex-soldier? Or literally any person with at least a minor understanding of firearms?
It’s just common sense. Keep the gun out of range of their hands. It’s super simple stuff, but apparently not simple enough for Hollywood.
