It winters there, yes.
That’s just how big the explosion was. 
In The Green Berets, at the end of the film, the sun sets in the east. You don’t get much more glaring than that one.
Godzilla has a giant lizard stomping around NYC yet somehow does not set off car alarms.
Watching the sun setting over water is not impossible in certain areas.
Not if it’s a foreign cartoon.
Definitely happens in California. Vietnam, not so much.
That is Vietnam in the photo. Specifically the Vung Tau Peninsula, southeast of Ho Chi Mihn City.
“Drive” the TV show. Cool concept but horrible execution. Driving through arid mountain scenery in “Florida”.
I’m not certain this counts as “glaring” to anyone else, but…in So I Married An Axe Murderer, Mike Myers marries a lovely young woman. Being the son of a Scottish immigrant, he wears Scottish dress - philabeg, hose, sporran, the full monty. So does his Scottish father. And so does the maid of honor - a kilt, sporran and even a Balmoral bonnet! Okay, I know it looks like a skirt, but it is in fact men’s clothing. So Mike’s new sister in law came to his wedding in drag.
Far from the biggest problem with Die Hard 2 (which is that all the airplanes on the ground have radios in them), and I don’t think it’s unreasonable as far as the movies go. The writer wanted a gun that would get through security, so he made up a plausible-sounding one.
Clearly, the Die Hard universe is at least a little different from ours. There’s no Nakatomi building in LA either.
Given what we find out about that sister by the end of the movie, this may not have been a mistake. She was clearly not playing with a full deck.
I’m watching Land of the Dead on DVD right now, and I’ve noticed a few. The film is set in Pittsburgh. In the opening Riley & co are raiding a small town for supplies. They raid a liquor that; a) also sells cigars, and b) has a sign saying "We accept Foodstamps. Neither of which is possible in Pennsylvannia; liquor stores are all government run, don’t sell tobacco (just booze, mixers, & corkscrews), and don’t accept Foodstamps or EBT. This really stands out because I’m also listening to the commentary & during the scene Romero talks about how they keep having to travel further & further to find supplies to scavenge. Then you see a light-up skyscraper in the background (ie Fiddler’s Green). Which means the small town they’re raiding is only a suburb of Pittsburgh. :smack: There’s also some major plot holes regarding how the local economy seems to be working.
As an air traffic controller, Die Hard 2 is almost a wacky comedy, at least as it deals with absolutely anything related to aviation and air traffic. Not only do all the planes on the ground have radios, as you mentioned, if planes in the air lose radio contact they won’t simply fly in circles until they run out of gas and fall out of the sky. They have to have alternate airports in their flight plan. There are dozens of ATC facilities in the area of Dulles that the pilots could talk to. You can’t reset the ILS glide slope to “below ground” to force an aircraft on approach to fly into the ground - even if you could, approach procedures have a minimum altitude that pilots can’t go below, regardless of what the glide slope says. Runway lights don’t go off one-by-one like that; the entire runway goes on and off at once. What was Fred Thompson supposed to be, exactly? Dulles ATC Tower chief? Airport manager? And, most hilarious of all for us in the controller brotherhood, we wouldn’t all just stop working our airplanes and silently gaze at our tower chief as he gave us a pep talk. Yeah, that isn’t happening.
Still a rousing action flick, though, if I turn off the ATC portion of my brain and go along for the ride.
At the start of the Clint Eastwood movie Hang 'em High after the lynching when his character is being cut down there is clearly a road in the background with a white van driving along it.
I was watching an episode of Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett), The Dancing Men last night and the same thing, the very last scene shows a wide shot of the country manor-house involved. Top left of the screen in the background, at least two large trucks with white containers drive down a road. 
Since someone has resurrected this zombie, there are quarries in Iowa - Iowa
I only looked that up because I grew up in southern MN, and we went swimming in a quarry there, so I assumed that Iowa would have them also.
Regarding the Die Hard franchise, Hans Gruber’s goal made no sense either - they hit the Nakatomi building so they could rob them of hundreds of millions of dollars of bonds, “earning 20%”(!)
But all they stole were the certificates - the bond owner of record is still Nakatomi, all principle and interest payments will still go to Nakatomi, etc. What the hell is Hans Gruber going to do next - call up the company who issued the bonds and say "You know all those P&I payments you were making to Nakatomi, Inc? You need to send them to this address, care of Hans, er, John Gruber… "?
In other words, if you have your mortgage with Wells Fargo, and some idiot breaks into the bank and steals your original, signed mortgage paperwork, you don’t start sending him the checks, do you? 
I don’t think 6-week lapse qualifies this as a zombie. It was only mostly dead.
Gotcha. Didn’t realize the difference, and the 1982 act was recent enough for there to still be hundreds of billions of dollars of the things on the market.
Glad to help. Also note that the 1982 law only applied to bonds issued in the US. There are many entities outside the US still issuing bearer bonds. For example, Eurobonds are often issued as bearer bonds payable in yen. It’s not unlikely that Nakatomi held non-US bonds.
