Why do people in the movies always pull out the arrows or knives they've been stabbed with and keep on going like nothing happened?

From what I've heard that's actually pretty dangerous and could worsen things up for the wounded person as the object keeps you from bleeding out. I know it's fiction, but don't you think that's kinda too unrealistic?

[@It would certainly be different. Gunfights and car chases would be almost nonexistent.

@Brenda That's quite true for some things. But some of it is just alittle bit too far out there for reality.

It is more dramatic for the character to do that.
In real life, I imagine the fighter would not have time to do that in the heat of battle.

At least in the movie 'The Meg' they applied 'realistic' first aide to the woman who was stabbed with a screw driver.

Because movies suck at realism when it comes to blood, gore, and death it's all about what looks cool.
