1. Chloroform
Although it takes several minutes to anaesthetise someone with chloroform, in movie-land you just pour some on a handkerchief and your victim will be unconscious within about ten seconds
2. Stopping someone sneezing
Our protagonists (usually a man and a woman) are hiding from a nearby adversary. The woman is about to sneeze and give them away, but the man prevents it by putting his finger horizontally under her nose.
3. Exploding cars
Although the only way to make a car explode is probably to detonate a bomb underneath it, in films, you just drive it off a cliff. Or even just into a valley. Ka-boom!
