-When firearms are involved, bad guys can't hit anything.  Good guys never miss.

-You can defeat ten bad guys armed with axes, machetes, and chained weapons, as long as you have your trusty spoon.

-No one really looks at passports.

-Yes, you can dodge the bullet after the gun is fired.

-If you're pinned down in a hail of gunfire, relax - the bad guy's gun will always jam.

-If you're ever sent to prison for a crime you didn't commit, the criminal who framed you will always be in the same prison.  Sometimes in the next cell.

-The daughter you thought was dead is alive and living under an assumed name in either Rio, Milan, or Toronto.

Looking back at the TV show The A Team, I love how they never killed the bad guys no matter how many bullets they sprayed.  And even with CHIPS, how the cars would launch in the air and flip dramatically. That really hasn't changed with action movies today. I actually find the adds for action movies today to be even more absurd than the stuff I grew up watching. Now everything to me looks like you are playing an X Box. 

I also laugh at airplane scenes, when someone is hanging out the door of a jet and manages to hang on. Um no, if a door or window is blown out you get sucked out and die.
