Hollywood movies often show combat scenes that are exaggerated and lack reality. These scenes sometimes show a single individual taking down multiple individuals with accurate shots, which, in reality, is far from the truth. These unrealistic, violent scenes may create a false impression of warfare, which is often more chaotic and unpredictable than what is shown in these movies. The movie Top Gun is often criticized by viewers for its unrealistic portrayal of aerial combat.
