Scientists doing everything and coming up with ideas on their own without any assistants or collaboration. They are also somehow mad genius experts on every field, like they are also physicist, biologist and engineer all in one. Most scientists in real life are specialist because it is impossible to be a generalist. There are also no such thing as home laboratories. You can't work in an uncontrolled and unregulated environment because it affects not just results of experiments, but health and safety is a major issue if things go awry.

Similarly, when a movie scientist/engineer insists a thing can't be done, until an authority figure chews them out/threatens them. Then, there's suddenly a breakthrough.

There's other ways the person in charge can help!

Yeah I have sometimes the feeling that stuff like this is rubbed of to real executives/managers who e.g. think a small team of programmers can achieve a big application in a manner of days or something...
