  1. Firearms and bullets.
    When my mother and I watched old western movies in the past, she counted the bullets high and was excited when they only had two bullets left in the revolver.

    Nowadays, she is much older and very confused about the number of bullets in firearms, and has solemnly proclaimed that acton films are no longer fun to watch.

  2. Spy movies with gigantic fight scenes and shootouts in major metropolitan cities and the spy just gets off scot free. Sorry but if there was a huge shoot out in downtown Tokyo or Seoul and dozens of people were injured/dead, it would be international news for weeks and that spy would be imprisoned for life

  3. Guns make metal sounds when they hit cars. That was true in the 1960s. Cars are made out of fiberglass and plastic now. Bullets hitting cars now sounds more like plastic snapping and legos falling on the floor.

  4. That most deaths are easy and quick, as if you’re gunning down npcs in an fps. Truth is humans are resilient and struggle. The guys with gut or chest shots would scream, probably for their moms. Probably why when violence is actually depicted (like Saving Private Ryan) people get uncomfortable.
