Another issue that should be brought up is how many people have died because of these "artistic" oversights? For example, the bus driver trying to accelerate across the bridges gap mentioned above. By teaching improper laws of physics, the movie industry is giving some people the only (improper) physics lesson(s) they will ever receive and ones that someday, they may stake their lives upon.

Another important one that I am always amazed about is where somebody is shot between the eyes with a pistol from 50-100 yards away. As a shooter, I can say that in general, pistols simply aren't that accurate. For one, the barrels are short thus giving less guidance to the bullet. Second, a pistol shooters arm simply isn't that stable a platform. Finally, the sights on a pistol at arms length are not that fine to begin with. Sure, there are a few people in the world (world class competitive shooters -- some of whom I've known) that can pull of a shot like that but they have dedicated their lives to it and shoot literally 1,000's of rounds day in practice. Pistols are great in close quarters combat where there is no need for precision shooting but it doesn't take much distance to make pistols very inaccurate.
