Oh My God, Megaforce! I haven’t though about that movie in years. Those same motorcycles had retractable wings and could fly! Barry Bostwick does a barrel-roll on one at the end, via one of the most hilariously unconvincing special effects ever committed to film. (I was working as an usher at the time and thus saw that scene multiple times.)
A true cinematic classic.
This thread would not be complete without a link to the flying motorcycle scene from Megaforce.
Something was suspended in that scene. Wasn’t my disbelief.
Never watch the movie “Twister” if you are worried about continuity errors -
and don’t watch the time clock thats on the bridge in ST Undiscovered Country.
That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Thank you!
I think I cried a little at that clip, but in a good way.
Plus we got to see what happened after Michael Beck’s career was launched by “The Warriors”!
Something about the guy @ 1:24 reminds me of Will Farrell.
To me, the big one is in Spiderman 2, the fight between SM and Doc Ock on the train. I can accept superpowers being granted via radioactive spider bite. I can buy-in to the concept of a high-school student turning superhero and not using his powers to impress, then bang, his way through the female half of the student body. I can accept some pudgy guy somehow ending up with mechanical tentacles. Hell, I can even accept that Kirsten Dunst can be romantically interested in Toby McGuire.
But I can’t accept what happens here, from :33-:39. You CANNOT throw something ahead of you, only to have it catch up to you from behind. You cannot, dammit! I don’t give a crap what sort of movie-world you live in, just don’t blatantly violate Newton that way. WTF?
I am one of “those people” who notices the weird stuff. E.g., an actor putting the book down on the table twice in a row, etc.
These usually make me enjoy the movie/show much more. I get drawn into it. So a glitch like on the OP is a fun thing thing to enjoy, not a bad thing.
But sometimes it’s just plain old “Oh, come on now!” and the I get the unsuspended feeling.
It’s one thing for an actor, stage flunky, whatever, to screw up. It’s another when the writers and/or producers just get into “We just don’t care.” mode. E.g., you have a Halloween episode and then several months later say it’s 3 months until Christmas. Can’t you folks plot out the show against a calendar?
Is Hotlips’ father dead or alive? What is Henry’s wife’s first name? C’mon folks. Figure things out and stick to it.
The worst: Laugh tracks. Egad. Just … stop. And as to the BBT: You’re not fooling anyone. That’s not the audience laughing most of the time.
Stuff like that nags at me too. I notice it with hair a lot too. Mainly women (just because they’re more likely to have longer hair) they’ll have like a strand hanging loose in the close up, then they switch to a wider angle and it will be tucked behind her ear, then back to closeup and it’s loose again.
I mean, I know it’s just a show and that I should really just relax, but it just gets to me sometimes where I can’t ignore it, it just draws my attention and I wind up missing dialog I’m so busy waiting to see where the hair goes in the next camera change.
My response to this idiotic, obnoxious post is here
Actually Mona Lisa Vito. (Marissa Tomei)
Given how fast the train was going and the amount of air resistance they’d have been feeling, Spidey getting behind Ock isn’t a problem. Catching up with him, of course, is. Maybe when he was passing through the pedestrian bridge (or whatever that structure was) he grabbed it and flung himself forward super-fast. I think, though, that just to do all the other stuff he does, Spiderman has to have some low-level flying ability.
Actually, in the comic doesn’t he get his wall-crawling ability from some kind of cosmic sticky-force (sort of the opposite of DC’s speed force)? If so, it would make (comic book) sense that he could also reduce his stickiness, and thereby fly through the air frictionlessly. If he eliminated the friction caused by air mid-flight, but kept his momentum, he would accelerate! (Right? Ok, what if he maintained his ventral friction but eliminated it dorsally? That would provide lift and allow him to transfer some of his downward motion forward. Maybe?)
Look at the scene again - he doesn’t grab anything. He just (miraculously) turns his body around, mid-flight, and then catches up to Doc Ock through his own momentum.
And, no, he wouldn’t accelerate if he was frictionless - the laws of physics don’t work that way. He needs a force acting upon him to accelerate.
The only way Spidey can catch up to Doc Ock from behind after having been thrown forward is if the train accelerates to bring Doc Ock past Spidey, then slows down again. What they should have done instead is have Spidey grab the bottom edge of the bridge he passes through and whip himself around to hit Doc Ock from the front.
True, but I don’t think trains are that responsive.
