Things we would never know without the movies ...
1) Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip within seconds - unless it's the door of a burning building with a child trapped inside.
2) Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it is not necessary to speak the language - a German accent will do.
3) You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.
4) A man shows no pain when taking the most ferocious beating but winces when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
5) When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet when you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.
6) Cars that crash nearly always burst into flames.
7) A single match is sufficient to light up a room the size of the Astrodome.
8) Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.
9) It's always possible to park directly outside the building that you are visiting.
10) A detective can only solve a case once he's been suspended from duty.
