I vaguely remember a movie about John Dillinger who held up a bunch of people at gunpoint but it was a fake gun made from soap or something. The movie reviews included how unrealistic it was that he could fool 3 people with this. The movies response was that they toned it down because in real life he fooled like 20 people.

I am sure I got that story entirely wrong but the sentiment is the same! I know after 2020 I apologized to many books and movies where I said "surely that wouldn't happen"

😂😂😂 And what's crazy is, if you were in that situation, you would rationalize that it MUST be real because surely no one would...
