People getting shot or killed. In reality, they don’t die instantly. They will act more surprised, then the panic sets in as they realise what happened and the pain sets in. They will cry for help as they slowly bleed out. It will take minutes. But that doesn’t look good on the screen. Some movies did parody this.
That makes me think of Peter Sellers’ in-movie scene at the beginning of The Party. I love this movie when I was a kid, but I suspect that an English comedian in brownface playing an Indian would not go over so well these days.
