From the silver screen's captivating embrace, we have imbibed a wealth of invaluable knowledge. Mastery in combat. Artfully retaliating against foes, or gracefully navigating celestial realms amidst treacherous asteroid belts. Life's tapestry unfurls, and who's to say when such wisdom may prove its worth? Yet, let us not be beguiled by the celluloid's illusions, for today we shall unveil the veracity behind the cherished legends of your beloved Block Busters

DEFIBRILLATOR SHOCK

1. In a captivating tale, witness a heart revived by a defibrillator's shock. On-screen, a patient's monitor's flat lines, and white-coated saviors rush in, shouting for a defibrillator. A miracle occurs as the heart reignites, but once it stops, the defibrillator cannot bring it back to life.

COVERING MOUTH WITH CHLOROFORM

2. Chloroform's potent power renders victims instantly unconscious. In a dimly lit alleyway, a figure approaches their unsuspecting prey with a chloroform-soaked handkerchief. The victim falls into a peaceful slumber, allowing the villain to easily transport them. However, the effects of this chemical marvel only last a fleeting moment, taking up to five minutes to fully take hold.

TRACING PHONE CALLS

3. In a realm of cinematic brilliance, the police possess an uncanny ability to swiftly unravel the enigma of a phone call's origin. With bated breath, they implore a courageous soul to engage the malefactor for a mere three to five minutes. "Maintain the connection! We are on the precipice of triumph!" Yet, the reality is far more intricate, for the art of tracing a phone call demands an hour more than one could fathom.

FORENSIC INVESTIGATION

4. The art of forensic investigation, my dear, possesses the power to unravel the most perplexing crimes. As aficionados of detective dramas, we are well-acquainted with skilled forensics investigators. Yet the mere discovery of blood-stained saliva or a single strand of hair merely unveils a fragment of truth. The true mastery lies in the hands of the diligent policemen, for they must weave together the threads of evidence to unmask the elusive criminal.

REPORT THE MISSING PERSON IMMEDIATELY - DON'T WAIT FOR 24 HOURS!

5. Forget the old wives' tale that you have to twiddle your thumbs for a whole day before reporting a missing person. Nuh-uh! Time is of the essence, folks! Every single second counts when it comes to finding a lost soul. So, if you're genuinely worried, don't hesitate - dial those digits and reach out to the police ASAP. No time to waste!

DROWNING - A SILENT STRUGGLE

6. Forget what you've seen in movies - drowning victims don't scream for help and wave their arms frantically. In reality, it's a silent struggle. They can't call out because they're gasping for air, and their hands are busy trying to keep their head above water. So. keep a watchful eye and be ready to act if someone is struggling in the water.

GUN IN BOTH HANDS - WHAT A SKILL!

7. Forget what you've seen in action flicks! Dual-wielding guns may look cool, but it's far from practical. Don't be fooled into thinking a hero can effortlessly take down multiple bad guys and save the day simultaneously. It's nearly impossible to aim accurately at two targets at once.

GUN SILENCERS

8. Let's bust another myth, shall we? Silencers don't magically turn guns into stealthy ninja weapons. Sure, they do muffle the sound a bit, but you'll still hear that unmistakable bang. Sorry to disappoint any aspiring spies out there. But hey, at least silencers can save your ears from ringing like church bells.

SHOOTING AT A PADLOCK

9. Ah, the classic movie scene where the hero whips out their trusty gun and blasts open a locked door. But let's bust that myth! Padlock shackles are made of thick iron and a measly bullet won't do the trick. Save your ammo and try the key instead!

WEEEEE!! I'M SUPERMAN!

10. Imagine the thrill of skydiving, soaring through the air with the wind rushing past you. But wait, have you ever seen those movies where skydivers casually chat mid-air? Well, let me burst that bubble for you. In reality, the wind is so loud that it renders you deaf. Instead, skydivers communicate through a secret language of gestures.

YOU HAVE TEETH INSURANCE?

11. Get ready for a jaw-dropping revelation! Brace yourself as we debunk the explosive myth that actors effortlessly yank out a grenade pin with their teeth. Oh, the brutality! Truth is, they'd be toothless, while the grenade remains unperturbed. Only a hand can unleash its power, but with caution, for designers cleverly secure it with dual wires.

ASTEROID BELT HAS MORE VOID THAN WE IMAGINE

12. Forget what you've seen in movies, the asteroid belt isn't a chaotic mess of flying rocks. In reality, it's more like a vast, empty desert. There's plenty of space between each asteroid, so spacecraft can glide through without fear of collision, It's time to bust this myth once and for all!

Calling all movie buffs! Let's debunk some popular movie myths together. Drop your knowledge bombs in the comments and let's have a lively discussion!

    "In the realm of cinema, scientific limitations often fade as we marvel at the likes of Thanos and his reality-shattering snap. Our complex minds, weary of science class, revel in the soaring exploits of Iron Man. Embracing these harmless myths, we find a refuge—a world where imagination roams free, unbound by reality's confines. Within this delicate balance, we discover solace, indulging in unrestrained wonders and boundless dreams. What do you think author? 😄
