7 Mistakes You Won't Believe Every Hollywood Action Movie Continues To Make
5. How Cuts And Bruises Automatically Re-heal In The Next Scene
A very common error and not just in action movies, but cuts and bruises sustained on one of the main characters always reheal in the next scene. So often I've seen a person who has been struck in the face leaving an obvious cut, but the next scene shows they have been completely healed up. Batman is certainly the worst for this: after every fighting scene, you can clearly see the damage done to character Bruce Wayne as he's being cleaned up in the aftermath, but in the next scene his face looks as smooth as it did before. How these characters aren't sustaining any permanent damage to their faces after such brutal fight scenes is beyond me you'd think spending half the film being in fights with a number of people would lead to some serious and permanent damage to your appearance. Apparently not in this case, and the character in question clearly must have better powers of healing than Wolverine from X-Men. Bruce Wayne should surely have a shiner or two, and as for his weirdly recurring ability to shake off stabbings, I'm really at a loss. Another add-on to this problem is how so many characters are seen just wiping off blood they have sustained, but there's no cut where the blood was reportedly coming from. Often forgotten or ignored by the majority, but I certainly feel they are being slack with some of the details.
