"Tip for Hollywood: tv and movies are usually more interesting when consequences are realistic."

Not necessarily, it really depends on the movie IMO. It's like when the hero has a gun with a bottomless magazine. Sometimes it does not make sense, but sometimes it's fun to watch him mow down all the bad guys using full-auto fire.

Let's say the creators want the bad guy or whoever to survive "impossible odds" - there's a fight near some cliff, the hero punches the villain in the face an he falls to the water below. There's no body found and later we ind out that the villain actually survived (but maybe was crippled by his injuries) and now there's another confrontation.

In "realistic mode" the fight would take place somewhere else, something else would happen to the bad guy to make it look like he was dead when he wasn't. But, you know, fights in high places with steep cliffs are cool to watch.

Worse is when a person is falling and someone catches them and they are fine. Fall 100 stories, land into someone's arms, no problem.
