in the book Forrest is a big guy, not a runner. He plays o-line and rooms with Bubba. The purpose of having Forrest go to Bama is so he can meet/interact with Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant, arguably the greatest college football coach of all time, one in a line of famous and infamous people he meets. When the movie was retooled (considerabley) for the big screen, they made Forrest fast instead of big and were left with the kick returner angle. I don; think it’s much of a strectch. At least they didn’t make him a receiver. I also think you overestimate the size of then Denny Stadium circa 1960whatever. In the sixties it never exceeded 60,000 seats in capacity.
in Thank You for Smoking, the lead character is hit with an idea while watching his two friends eat a piece of apple pie covered with a slice of cheddar cheese (with a little American flag toothepick). The camera focuses in on the pie and the perfectly draped slice of cheddar. The problem is, seconds earlier, one of the people eating the pie cut off a piece with her fork and effectively dragged the cheese off of the pie. How did it get perfect again?
In League of Extraordinary Gentlemen:
-
The Venetians celebrate Carnival in July, unlike the rest of the Catholic world which usually celebrates Carnival/Mardi Gras in February, on the last day before Lent.
-
A submarine the size of a modern aircraft carrier can not only fit into the canals of Venice but sail invisibly beneath the surface.
:rolleyes: Deleted scene?
FWIW, until 1950 the rule book pretty much let the home team bat first in the inning. In that year the rule was made hard and fast: The visitors bat first, home team last.
And the Pythagoran Theorem is: “The square on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.” My Dad taught me that one when I was about eight. He wasn’t a math teacher–he was an aerospace worker and former Navy cook. 
…Think of it this way… If I am rushing to the dock to catch an ocean liner… and it just leaves the dock… I can swim can’t I? Why don’t I just jump in the water and swim up to the ship.
ET floats up to the ship… what does he do? Knock on the door? Someone just happens to be hanging out by the hatch? Come on…
I think several of you are in the wrong place. You should have been in the other thread.
Everyone re-read the OP.
In I, Robot (a truly dreadful movie),
The doctor played by James Cromwell is trapped in his lab by a rogue A.I. controlling the building, so he decides to have his robot pal throw him out the window to his death, with a cryptically-worded recording meant for Wil Smith’s character to find and thereby uncover the A.I. menace. The same robot later jumps out the same window and lands, totally unharmed, and leads the police on a chase.
Which leads one to wonder
[spoiler]Why didn’t he have the robot simply break the window, jump out, and go tell the police exactly what was happening?
Or, failing that, why didn’t he have the robot jump out the window and deliver a coherent message that could be easily understood?
Or, failing that, if it was truly necessary for him to be thrown to his death, why didn’t he at least record a helpful message for Wil Smith, rather than the vaguely worded mystery message that was shown?
[/spoiler]
The answer, of course, is that the movie was written by Akiva Goldsman, who is responsible for more stupid, illogical crap than any big-name screenwriter in Hollywood.
In Star Trek: Generations, when one of the evil Klingon sister’s (whose names escape me at the moment) is hit in the mouth, her blood is red. In STIV, Klingon blood was purple.
The footprint in 1998’s “godzilla.” (No italics, no capitalization. I hasn’t earned the right.)
Apparently, the monster walks by hopping up and down. While wearing gigantic cookie-cutters as sandals.
The Emperor’s Death Star throne room in Return Of The Jedi: watch the blue screen starfield out of the windows behind the throne as the stars drift lazily past. Now watch each shot which cuts back from Luke to the Emperor as the space/time continuum apparently resets and the same stars do the same slow drift again: yup, ILM have just reused the same effects shot. Repeatedly. Impossible to watch anything else in the scene once you’ve noticed it - there…they…go…again…wheee…
Wizard did it.
(Gandalf, that is. He’s got a thing for horsemeat.)
Well, maybe the undershirt was a were-shirt.
Although, it looks like the curse on the shirt was not lifted with the coming of the sun.
That’s because it was originally supposed to start Tom Cruise.
I understand the purple coloring was done because huge gobs of floating red blood would’ve earned the movie a PG-13, which the filmmakers didn’t want. It wasn’t really the “intent” of the filmmakers that Klingons had purple blood.
In The Rock, near the end when the jets are flying toward the island to bomb the threat away, there are three shots of the jets flying. In the first and last shots, there are six jets, shown from the side, flying in a triangular formation. In the middle shot, there are five, shown from behind and above, in a flat pentagon formation, flying under the Golden Gate Bridge. While the first and last shots are close and short, the middle shot is long and wide angle, and offers no chance of the sixth jet somehow being out of the shot.
Be that as it may, Klingon blood was established as purple. It’s rather jarring that it is suddenly not so.
(Oh, and VI, not IV. :smack: )

Am I being wooshed? When you show somebody using a telescope in the 1190’s, an extraneous sound effect is the least of your problems. (Later, they use gunpowder.)
I think Warren Zevon could tell you that werewolfs are in fact very particular about their apperance.
