These inaccuracies are the things we often hear from audiences trying to sound intelligent. Or maybe they forgot their suspension of disbelief at home and try to be Isaac Newton when they go watch a movie. This may sound hypocritical considering that I too poke fun at these sort of things all the time, like I did here and here. But hear me out.

Of course, I too cried out bullshit when the three Charlie's Angels glided their way into a foldout chopper, got it running in mid-air and flew their way to safety. I'm talking about inaccuracies here, not some bullshit action sequences. Some creative liberties film-makers often take, and we know that it's a bit of a stretch, but we ignore the science, physics and logic behind it because... Well, as I've said before, if you want to see physics at work you'll only have to walk outside and throw something, or tip something over.
