Okay, I'm back! First off, in recent seasons Mythbusters has investigated a lot of gun myths in movies because there have been so many in the last fifteen or twenty years. Shoot, Roger Ebert compiled a couple books of movie cliches in the 1990s, and there were a couple in there. For instance, in real life a gun expert would call a gun equipped with a silencer "suppressed" instead of "silenced". As for the martial arts, I'm going to re-post something I wrote on another site. ''In the movies and whatnot it shows various training methods supposedly used by those seeking to master the martial arts. I know that some of them are made up or greatly exaggerated (such as training one's ears so that one can hear snowflakes fall and plants sprouting) while some actually exist and have been used in real life (such as Iron Palm and meditating under waterfalls). One of the training methods depicted is balancing on posts/mountains or leaping from post to post (Some TV shows and movies exaggerate this to unrealistic levels, portraying martial arts practitioners leaping on stalks of bamboo or standing on the blade of a sword).'' That's actually the tip of the iceberg because there are all sorts of martial arts myths in the movies, such as these- http://www.sagacombat.com/blog/6-common-martial-arts-myths/.
