I know that you'll be shocked to hear this, but sometimes things in movies aren't real.
Go ahead, take a moment to let that sink in, to let the shock wear off.
In today's video Nate From the Internet addresses times when metals aren't dealt with appropriately in movies - primarily because of the density of heavy metals like gold and because of the black body radiation that should be given off when metals are hot.
I had noticed a couple of these myself - the 'molten' gold in The Hobbit and the weight of gold in The Italian Job 'remake' - but neither took me took much out of the movie. In the case of The Hobbit, it's because I wasn't enjoying the movie anyway. In the case of The Italian Job, it's because the cast is just so darn charismatic that I enjoyed the movie anyway.
