Hollywood uses experts on set all the time. And then ignores the expert’s advice (and common sense) because the director wanted a certain “thing” that would never actually happen.
Low hanging fruit, but one example would be the movie “Lucy”, based entirely on the debunked myth that humans use only 10% of their brain.
Another example: The beloved Game of Thrones episode “Battle of the Bastards” features several battle scenes that are physically impossible (like using a HUGE pile of bodies as a fortification). The director said he absolutely knew that his depiction was impossible. How many of his expert advisers do you suppose just walked away shaking their heads in puzzlement?
