Banking for turns?
The one that set my teeth on edge was Alien with a space craft with dripping water, chains dangling in a vessel that could go zero gravity in an emergency. (Even a sea going navy has no gear adrift rules)
Hollyweird has so much poor science-practicality that a lot of Authors seem to treat as gospel.
J W Campbell had a rule: If you are going to break known science, the explain why (the known does not apply).

If you believe anything that Hollyweird says, you're damaging your brain. They invariably get almost
everything about law enforcement wrong. They get almost
everything about weapons, guns, gun laws, carry permits, etc. wrong. They get politics WRONG. They put Sheriffs in cities, answerable to
mayors (as if) and the list goes on and on and on. That's just a few things from last night, never mind the usual. (Don't get me started on anything scientific at all--e.g., space flight--because that's just
excruciating to watch.)
And then they lecture you, too, which is hilarious. "Hey, here we are, we're experts and genyuses and we're gonna lecture you about Topic A, even though anyone with a room-temperature IQ can easily see that we have NO idea what we're talking about!" (on
ANY topic at all; doesn't matter if it's a political hot button, or not, or PC or not PC etc. They are just...
scary illiterate.).
