I'd love to hear everybody's pet peeves in movie and TV production.

Rules:
Concussions. People get knocked out by a blow to the head or neck? They stay knocked out for an hour or so? They wake up okay?
I slipped on ice and cracked the side of my skull into the corner of a dumpster. I was out for...? It was the dead of winter. In Canada. -30. I couldn't have been out more than a minute or two.
I was all kinds of messed up for months. I couldn't control my arms right. My emotions went haywire. I had blinding headaches for weeks.
I still have nasty chronic headaches and memory loss. It happened more than ten years ago!
Knocked out for long enough to wake up tied up in a warehouse? Nah, you died. Buffy? Dead. James Bond? Dead. Sorry.
Yes, it's pretty established that a) it's not as easy to knock someone out as movies portray it, and b) someone who gets knocked unconscious is unlikely to wake up and be fine.
Wow, there's a hell of a story, pretty scary. Thanks for sharing!
Great point about concussions
maybe the antagonist snuck them some sleeping pills off-camera...
