Bah, read the whole thread before you reply jackass!
Presumably they put the car on a ferry.
Max Keeble’s Big Move: The Evil Principal locks Max into the gym’s storage cage, like it’s a jail cell. Excuse me, but aren’t those designed to keep thieves out, rather than keep prisoners in?
Did they have auto ferries across the channel in 1938/9?
Or anyone close to enough to see the blast. And let’s not forget that Umbrella previously managed to build a gigantic multistory underground laboratory facility and move people and supplies in and out constantly with no one the wiser… right under the town.
Why would three men take two boats? That’s just stupid.
It’s pretty clearly established that Brody really has no idea what he’s doing. They could not possibly have anticipated that the shark would be near-supernatural.
There’s a very plausible explanation for this… Jabba and fake-bounty-hunter are both non-human. Maybe their mouths (or other talky bits) just can’t produce the sounds necessary to speak English (ie, Galactic Standard, or whatever it is)
Silence of the Lambs–Even if Hannibal could get his handcuffs off with a paper cilp/ink pen improvised gimzo, when he attacked the first cop, they second cop would have shot him dead in about 5 seconds.
Basic, it’s called. And considering fake-bounty-hunter is (although actually human) buzzy-noise-making, it’s fair to consider whatever species she was pretending to be can’t vocalise like humans.
The recent Planet of the Apes had a similar issue with “Ca-li-ma.” I don’t recall it being a major plot hole in that case; it was just silly.
The explanation I seem to recall reading somewhere was that Jabba refused to speak anything but Huttese, even though he understood other languages. Racial pride, or something.
And five kilotons is a pretty freakin’ small nuke, frankly. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were in the area of 20 kilotons apiece, and they didn’t manage to completely wipe out cities that were mostly made of wood. Five does qualify for a “precision” device, but that’s way too small to “sanitize” an entire city. Not to mention, as others have said, that in order to maximize the punch of a nuclear bomb, they’re normally detonated well above ground level (as in 1000 feet or so), which kinda puts the kibosh on that whole “nuclear plant accident” story. Detonating that little nuke at ground level would have limited the area of effect drastically.
I’m not very religious, but a couple of things bugged me about Constantine.
Corinthians 17. Supposedly in the Hell Bible there is supposed to be an extra chapter that holds some prophetic language, but why would the Hell Bible have any version whatsoever of “Paul’s Letters to the Corinthians”?
Midnite’s bar was supposed to be neutral ground for the forces of Good and Evil, but it’s a pretty scuzzy dive bar. Am I supposed to believe that archangels drop by off hours and have shots of Patron with hellspawn while talking shop?
Have to admit, I never made it to the end of the movie. I’ve seen up to when they take off from the carrier. Surprised I made it that far.
Jill Valentine: Two kilotons? Pffft… pussies.
That is awfully disturbing, Homebrew. It also explains quite a lot about the show. Thanks.
To be fair, Lucas was probably looking for something for C3PO to do. The protocol droid was completely useless in Episodes 5 and 6.
I wondered about this myself, back in the sixties.
Now, I think I know the answer, and it really wasn’t a plot hole. Rather, the early cancellation of the show prevented them from tying all this together for us.
I think what happened, is on the OTHER side of the island, there was an arcan outpost staffed by a mad scientist and his followers, The Others. They had some kind of shield around the island which prevented it from being seen or ever discovered even though it was actually close to Hawaii. The final season would have had Gilligan and all discovering them and stealing their super-science to get back to civilization. Alas, the series ended before they could do that.
What’s that? Why yes, this is the same place the folk on a certaiin Oceania flight wound up on. This is what clued me in to everything.
That’s right: “Lost” is on GILLIGAN’S ISLAND!
To avoid beingg a complete hack ont his thread, I will offer a real plot hole, one of my favorites. The movie “Krakatoa: East of Java.” Umm, cough Krakatoa is WEST of Java.
They crash land in China, somewhere near the coast, just like some of the real guys did. The dirty Japs come callin’ and one of those two guys dies. Can’t remember which one, sorry.
I don’t remember that one. Huh. Was it like Leela’s Sevateem and Tesh?
BUT!.. If you keep on going East, for a long enough distance, you could still end up there. I mean, since we’re on a globe and all… Right?
That’s a very good point. Thanks for pointing it out. At the time, I was thinking “Damn, I want a copy of the Hell Bible” and didn’t think about that.
Unless they are trying to imply Paul went to hell and that’s where he was writing from?
