maverick and goose were told not to engage below the hard deck. You could fly below it. The crap is that is an easy out for Jester to just fly there and escape.

Lorraine and george knew Calvin Klein for what a week and had no picture of him. They probably remember him since they named their 3rd kid after him "Marty such a nice name" but would have just claimed they looked similar

---

But isn't the hard deck supposed to simulate the altitude of the ground? Couldn't Mav and Goose say that they got Jester because they chased him into the "ground" to crash?

I guess they really are cowboys.


Just saw one last night that has always bothered me from Point Break. During the beach football game, the field is about 30 yards when all of the touchdowns are scored. But when Bodhi goes for the wheel route and Johnny tackles him into the beach, they both run a good 40-50 yards down the beach. Bodhi would have already scored.

Sports movies in general - couldn't they bring in a coach for a day and teach these drama dorks the basics of how to throw, swing a bat, look like someone with athletic ability, especially when they are playing pros?

Costner, Redford, Sheen, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Pedro Serrano are exceptions.

This is mine. Conversation is going well and then all of a sudden, *click*.

When the hero falls faster than the victim (Batman, Spider-Man (McGuire version)

I think it was in enemy of the state. Will smith calls his wife she picks up her cordless phone, presses the button. The phone makes a "beep-beep-bum-bum." Then she starts talking to Will.

I owned that house phone and the "bum-bum" sound means it didnt connect to the reciever properly. I applaud them for using an actual phone, rather than a prop and soundboard, but it snapped me out of the suspension of disbelief. That phone was frustrating and the actress just acted as though that's a connected call.

If they used the blood from mosquitoes to clone the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, what did they use to clone the plants?

This one has always bugged me.

Good point.

And I've wondered .... where did they get the DNA sample for that mosasaur in Jurassic World?

This is a GREAT thread! I don't agree with all of these BUT they are still good!

Do you really want to see people saying "bye bye" at the end of a call, or see hacking that takes a long time and doesnt have a neat interface (or see jack bauer stop to grab a taco and drop a deuce)?
I'm trying to think of all the phone goodbyes I can remember in popular film/tv/culture and they seem to fall into one of 3 categories:
1. Comedy movie or SNL type skits mocking this where someone serious is trying to end a call and the other person wont let them.
2. Very serious scene where a female character gets very bad news on a phone call and we see the call end so she can sob as the scene cuts.
3. Mystery Science Theatre 3000 making fun of a 50s-70 bad B movie.


Minor movie continuity errors were fun to try and catch in the 80s early 90s before the internet made it easier. People lost their damn minds over the ghost boy in the window of 3 men and a baby. My favorite one as a kid was during Beverly Hills Cop when Eddie is supposed to throw a guy over the buffet at the country club but the stuntman looks like Richard Pryor.

As great as Jurassic Park is, the science in that movie is pretty crappy.

I don't think they cloned the plants, I think they were using flora from today that would still be similar to what was around back then. There are a lot of plants that have changed very little from then to now. Kind of like Crocs and sharks haven't changed a huge deal since the Cretaceous.

Jurassic Park the big scene with the car falling off the cliff like side wall of the T-Rex paddock but then later when Ellie takes the Jeep to the area where the car is it is at the same elevation level that the road is.

---

Not only that, the goat is at the same level as the main road when it gets eaten, but then all of a sudden there is this huge cliff like drop?

---

this bugged me forever. I think there is a real explanation on wtf was happening in that regard, but I don't remember what off the top of my head. I was like... where did the cliff come from?

I don't like how the magical community in Harry Potter uses owls when the muggles use a far better technology. You'd think the wizarding world would utilize some of the convenient current technologies.

---

Not only that, since many of the Wizarding community have muggle parents, you would think they would keep things like the telephone or computers.

All of you are kind of off the mark on this one. The problem is with figuring out how the Tyrannosaurus could just walk out of her paddock. The moats are a security feature mentioned earlier by Hammond and the lawyer. So we have the explorers on level ground just like the goat but separated by a moat.

Obviously the worst moat in history because TRex can just reach out and rip the fence apart with her semi vestigial arms. But it gets more complicated because the car goes into the moat... but we see that the moat is freaking massive like as if it's not a moat at all but rather a 75 foot chasm.

How the hell did TRex get out? The only explanations I've seen focus on there being a big hill and where the explorers were was at the top of the hill and then pushed to a spot further down. But that leaves the question of where the moat mentioned by Hammond is and why would Grant not simply walk back up the hill and to the road rather than deciding to hike through the park.

Theres a moat in the books. Not that it matters for the movie...

Also the scene with the explorer galling thru the tree establishes the road is above the TRex paddock.

An attempt at explaining it, which helps, but still doesn't quite check out...

There are scenes that establish that the road is above the paddock and ones like the one I just posted that show the paddock and the goat are on the same level as the road...that's what makes it a mistake in the movie
