Just saw this in a film...
A woman is being choked out by a madman. She squirms and her eyes bulge in terror as her tiny hands tightly grip the assassin's wrists. But, why doesn't she just finger poke the guy's eyes? I'm pretty sure the bad guy would let go. It worked for Moe%.
Why?!
Because there is always a scissor or paper opener.close enough to grab, and stab him.with..
See: my previous post on.this trope.

You're better than the rest of us, Marshall. Just say it.
I'm no Stuart Smalley ( obscure SNL reference)

Except in real life, most people would probably react like her, not a stooge or action hero. Likewise lacking the leverage to knee the attacker in the groin. Speaking of leverage, there's a particularly egregious scene in "Taking Lives"(2004) where the killer is hiding under a cot that's a foot off the floor. The heroine lies down, and he punches THROUGH the mattress despite no room to swing his arm. Ludicrous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmE5ryLi34o
You obviously never watched KILL BILL.
Awesome scene of Uma punching her way out of a coffin!
The rest if the.movie sucked.

But that's the kind of movie where impossible feats are the norm, not the exception.
The twist at the end of "Taking Lives" (involving a disguise and long-term planning) is just unbelievable, but there's an even crazier, completely unpredictable twist in the Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode "Death Scene" that lingers in the mind. Has to be seen to be believed.
Martial artists can do some amazing feats.
Bruce Lee.once stood inches from another fighter and with just a short punch sent.him flying ( I think the story is on the ENTER THE DRAGON supp).
Not to say some thug could perform. like that!

...a character is wandering a post-apocalyptic landscape, and all canned or boxed foodstuffs he comes across will still be edible, no matter if the apocalypse in question occurred ten years ago? Next time you're at the supermarket, look at the "best by" dates on the back of a half-dozen random items in your carriage, and if any of them are good for a year after the date you're shopping on, I'd be very surprised. The Walking Dead has been running for almost ten years now, and they're STILL finding random cans of veggies or whatever and yet there's never a scene where a character eats something that's gone over and gets a raging case of food poisoning.
Not to mention how fast EVERYTHING else would deteriorate once the skilled workforces and techs would no longer be around.

Bank robbers make everyone lie on the floor. They.just want the.money, no killing.
But, the minimum wage security guard ( or bank manager) decide to risk their lives by trying to stop them- and are killed!

Over choreographed action sequences. I love exciting action scenes but today I just roll my eyes and yawn they're so over the top. Not only are the sequences impossible, they're so over designed they look like "dance competitions". Most guilty are the Avengers movies. But just about any other action film are the same like John Wick.
Pointed!
As bad as those horrid " bar room brawls" from old tv westerns!
