An all along, I thought Adventures in Babysitting was just a funny and entertaining movie.
There's a lot to be "learned" from many movies if that's the goal. For example, do not expect your 15 round magazine to hold 5381+ rounds like in the typical cops and robbers movie. And don't expect your gun to automatically cock itself every time an adversary walks around the corner. But do expect your place in hiding to be given away to the bad guy because every time you even look at a knife sitting on a bed it goes "ZZZiiiiiinnggg!!!"
Most movies are designed for entertainment, not instructing. They do the stupidest stuff in movies.
