Movie details that bugged you [Archive] - Two Plus Two Older Archives

In Spiderman 2, how was Doctor Octopus going hit for hit with Spiderman? Spiderman is far superior when it comes to strength - one hit should have been sure to knock out any normal guy. The robotic arms did not make Doc Oc anymore stronger or invulnerable.

This detail bugged me. What are other details in movies that have bugged you?

He had the will of the robotic arms since they were controlling him, which meant he was going to keep on fighting till the death.

That one bugged me too.

In Friday Night Lights, they are clearly preparing for the last play of the game, as they are out of timeouts and there is very little time left.

So the guy runs in and gets a first down before the endzone.... and they are acting all happy? The clock would have run out and they would have lost... but instead, there is a penalty, and they get another play?

I hate in general when sports movies are made and the director seems to think the audiences don't care about any specific details of a football game.

I hate it that phones rings more quickly in movies. I know you are trying to fit everything into 90 minutes, but can't you just let the damn phone ring every 4 seconds or whatever it does in real life?

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 (I know, I know.. it's a bunch of lifelike turtles, etc.. however), as Shredder drinks the ooze, he becomes super huge. The obscure detail is that his whole outfit grows proportionally as well.

I realize that most of you hate this movie, but... In Napoleon Dynamite, when Napoleon is calling Kip and asking him to pick him up, bring him his Chapstick, etc. they keep cutting back and forth from the school office and the kitchen. From one cut to another the cheese on top of the nachos grows exponentially, and it is definitely more cheese than any mere mortal could possibly shred in a few seconds. I noticed that one time when I was drunk... I thought it was real funny.

this one has always bugged me - in Rounders, after Mike and Worm chop up the trust fund kids. Worm and Mike head into the City and Mike sets up Worm at the Chesterfield on credit, then goes home and gets popped by the old lady for the roll of cash in his pocket (snooping bitch).

Why doesn't Mike just give the $900 or so they won to Worm, plenty of roll for a decksmith like him and let Worm fend for himself for a bankroll with $900? Instead he takes ALL the money, stakes Worm with Credit under himself (Mike), his girlfriend finds the 900 roll and ends up leaving him eventually because he lies to her about playing. Seems like the story could have been really cool, but this is what they came up with instead. Not trying to give the Rounders hard core any disrespect I mean its the Best movie about Poker and all since 'Cincy, so we'll take it but think about what a Rounders 2 storyline would be in this day and age, I would hope deeper then the orig.
Plus my vote for the title: 'Rounder' funny the writers are touted for the 'Tilt' series, I never thought the movie was very well written but was inspiring to watch and had a generation X feel with the quick scenes cutting quickly from place to place, that made it easy to watch and was visually entertaining as well.

Ok, was I the only one who got soo pissed off at the end of Signs when I found out that the Aliens were alergic to freaking water! What was the aliens' plan when it rained? Talk about being short-sighted. What was the alien board meeting that came up with this genius idea? "Well, everyone, we found this planet thats perfect, but there's one thing, 2/3rds of the planet is covered with deadly poisonous acid, and sometimes deadly poisonous acid just falls from the sky." God I hated that movie!

TStokes

01-24-2005, 02:38 PM

maybe that is because aliens have never encountered water before. what if humans found a new planet went there and it was covered with a goo and we found out we were allergic to it. should we have just assumed it would kill us before we got there?

In the movie behind enemy lines where Owen Wilson gets shot at ohhh about 1,500 times and never gets shot yet he is somehow Vassili Zaitsev when he fires a gun.

I mean, I guess this is similar in every action movie yet this one seemed to really stick out in my mind as a joke.

Yeah, the movie that sticks out in my mind in this way is Face Off with Cage and Travolta. John Woo (I believe the director) has soooo many bullets whizzing by and both of them just run around in pseudo-slowmo not getting hit while everyone else is dropping like ducks. Of course, this is every action movie but I think there is always one or two that stick in your mind for being too over the top.

When Doc is trying to plug in the wiring harness on the ledge of the clock tower, they clearly show his velcro fastening shoes. While velcro was in fact patented in 1955, velcro shoes were not really widely available to the public until the 1980's.

he is a semi-crackpot scientist/inventor. if velcro existed, why is it so far fetched that he decided to put them on shoes? sounds like a good invention to me.

Mike now has $40,000.

He pays $15,000 to Grandma. He pays $10,000 back to the judge. He squares up with the Chesterfield for the $8,000 he owes them.

$40K - $15K - $10K - $8K = $7

But then Mike goes on by saying that after he pays everyone off, he is right back where he started with a little over $30,000. How did that happen?

The one I never understood was the climax of Seven. Kevin Spacey does an impromptu ending that I think is supposed to be accepted by the audience as a tightly wrapped conclusion. The fact of the matter was, he started killing on the premise of the seven deadly sins. He carefully identified all of his victims until the last two. Pitt's wife was an innocent bystander, free of sin, but was killed anyway. Spacey didn't even know Pitt when he started the killing, but Pitt became the final sin evidently not meant to die unless he was expected to kill himself.

I guess you can argue that the cops got too close for the real plan to unfold, but I think the movie tried to make it seem like this was his intention all along.

Since its B&M, they probably only played 20 hands, so he only paid 900 - 1000 in blinds depending on blind structure. But you are right, he was definitely under bankrolled.

In Minority Report, the whole premise contains a big hole. Instead of only predicting murders, the psychics are causing one. The only reason Tom Cruise eventually ends up in the room with the pictures is because they predicted that he would. Had there been no prediction, no murder would have taken place.

Has anyone seen The Flight of the Pheonix? It was awful for one thing, and for another, they apparently dig their plane out of like fifteen feet of sand in a couple hours or something with their hands. They just cut scenes and don't explain it.

we cannot encounter material that is entirely new. if need be we can analyze all but the most insanely (ostensibly life-derived) molecules from afar and moreover we (as a species) have produced/encountered all small, stable molecules physically possible. to think that a species capable of space travel/parasitism would not have the same basal skill set is patently wrong.

TROY

I think it happens for most of the movie, but in particular, when the Greek army is camping out on the beach of Troy there is at least one morning shot where the sun is comping UP over the water. This would mean that the Sun was rising in the West. I wasn't alive back then, but I'm pretty sure that the Sun has always risen in the East.

his masterpiece was supposed to be seven acts of murder committed in the name of the seven deadly sins. sort of like a suicide with delusions of grandeur. while spacey did not know pitt, he did have the whole shebang planned from the start as is evidenced by many the years worth of writings. had it not been pitt, it would have been someone else. the people killed are not always the "guilty" ones (remember the particualrly sick "lust" killing where the hooker dies and not the lustful man?). point is that spacey was supposed to be so crazy/dedicated to his "work" that he found himself to be guilty of envy of those he viewed as normal, and so saw the ending as his coup de grace.

lots of movies piss me off, but that one, and especially the ending, was excellent, IMO.

Well, this was TV show, not a movie, but in "The Six Million Dollar Man" Steve Austin was able to use his bionic arm to pick up cars and stuff. For those of you too young to remember the show, it was about a test pilot who last both legs and one arm in a crash, and had them replaced with "bionic" prostheses that gave him superhuman strength. Now, sure he had tha bionic arm and legs, but his back was still flesh and blood. lifting a car would have either torn the muscles or ruptured the disks, leaving him writhing on the ground in agony.

In the movies or TV shows, when there is a car chase on a dirt road, you always here sound effects of tires squealing. If the idiots had ever driven on a dirt road, they would know that it doesn't sound like that. They never have realistic white noise puntuated with rocks hitting the bottom of the car, that you get when you acutally go into a skid on a dirt road.

Yeah, and what's up with always seeing boobs in movies, but NEVER guys private parts. That bugs me.

this board must be filled with homophobes. first off no one ever stated that they wanted to see the incredible hulk's huge cock, they just found it odd that his pants didn't grow propertionally as well. it's details like this that make a movie/show good or bad. if you're gonna skip over the details with no logical explanation then most likely you're offering an inferior product. no need to be gay to agree with this.

i saw this movie one time where this guy walked up to this girl, said like two words to her, and then they had sex. come on, that NEVER happens in real life. to make matters worse, the same thing happened in every scene. wtf?!? some movies are so dumb.

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually know for a fact that a girl I know had sex with a guy after he said 4 words to her. Those four words were "Can I kiss you?" After that, they [censored] and that was that. Damn that girl was a slut. I was always the most popular guy at my friends' parties 'cause I brought her along.

Ok, at the end of the Color of Money Newman forfiets against Cruise. Then he breaks a rack of balls while practiving in the Green Room and exclaims "I'm Back!".

You need to watch The Hustler. This was when Fast Eddie was young.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I saw the Hustler. I still don't get why he was "back" just because he broke a rack. In the previous scene he was too proud to lay Cruise after he found out Cruise had dumped a match.

So how exactly is he "back" after breaking a rack?

The Green Berets with John Wayne. The Claymore mine is set up backwards. They have raised letter printing on them telling which way to face them...

Also, the sun sets in the wrong direction at the end of the movie (for Vietnam).

The sun setting in the wrong direction was intentional.

Well, this was TV show, not a movie, but in "The Six Million Dollar Man" Steve Austin was able to use his bionic arm to pick up cars and stuff. For those of you too young to remember the show, it was about a test pilot who last both legs and one arm in a crash, and had them replaced with "bionic" prostheses that gave him superhuman strength. Now, sure he had tha bionic arm and legs, but his back was still flesh and blood. lifting a car would have either torn the muscles or ruptured the disks, leaving him writhing on the ground in agony.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not necessarily true. If we assume that the arm works like a boom capable of lifting a car's worth of weight. The forearm motor would be doing the actual lifting while the upper arm motor would be acting as a counterweight/balancing the load. Obviously in real life this would require a hell of a lot of power, not to mention larger motors, all of which wouldn't fit inside a prostetic limb. Nonetheless, it's sci-fi and we all know that power constraints is not a concern in sci-fi.

Cheers,

I'm with CORed on this one. The load still travels through the guy's torso and I seriously doubt his back could support the weight of a car, regardless of how strong his arms and legs are. I could draw a free-body diagram for you if you'd like - it wouldn't be any problem, as I am a rocket scientist.

Cowbell boy:

Please indulge me by supporting your point with a drawing. I still maintain my point that with the use of computers and gyroscopes the arm would support the entire load independently of the rest of the body. Just look at that goofy little Segway scooter. Thanks to gyroscopes the thing is able to balance a relatively heavy load without much difficulty. And the Segway only costs ten grand, just imagine what kinda crazy stuff you could buy for six million!!!!

Balancing the load and supporting the weight of the load are two different questions.

The gyroscopes aren't balancing it, the motors are. The gyroscopes (solid state gyroscopic silicon sensors, actually) are being used to monitor the pitch of the scooter. If it's falling forward, it moves forward to keep the base under the rider, the opposite for falling backwards. It doesn't have some massive gyroscope in teh base that keeps it from falling over. It's actually rather simple. I dont see any way for this bionic arm to lift a car when it has a flesh base. The arm is being supported by the back, and no matter what kind of gyroscopes you put in there, there is still a helluva lot of force being placed on teh back because of where flesh meets stell.

If you recall in the movie 'Twins' starring Ahnold and Danny DeVito - when they are in that club and they go into the bathroom...notice on top of the vanity mirror that there is a beer bottle. When they both do their little hookshot throwing the paper towels into the trashcan, the camera cuts to the trashcan, and then back to the duo. You'll notice that the beer bottle...IS NOW GONE.

This detail has bugged me for years.

It was an offensive penalty. Not even including the penalty though, they were happy with a first down even though that would have been the last play of the game...

I just caught the end of "The Rundown" today, and this really pissed me off. Christopher Walken is talking down from his watchtower thing to one of his security guards who has captured the girl, and is handcuffed to her. Next, one of the guys watching the tv screens says something, Walken goes over there, change camera angle, and the same guard with the broken nose is now in the watchtower sans girl.

What if they saw the flag right away, and assumed it was a defensive penalty (like I did) and so they knew they had 1 more play?

How did you assume it was a defensive penalty?

They are all cheering as they see the guy get the first down, and then you see the flag on the field and just about everyone on Permian is all upset. The ball goes back 10 yards and all of a sudden they have another play.
