MOVIE ODDITIES THAT MAKE NO SENSE
Added on: 12th Nov 2015
X-MEN: THE LAST STAND
If you’ve seen this film then you know that Phoenix AKA Jean Grey
literally crushes and tears everything and everyone apart. Sadly, in
the final scene, where Wolverine kills her and saves the world, she’s
business as usual but she fails to rip off one thing and one thing only,
Wolverine’s pants. Even his auto-healing skin is about to be ripped
from his adamantium frame but his pants won’t retreat no
matter what! From what are they made of?
THE USUAL SUSPECTS
We’re not about to ridicule one of the greatest movies ever made
with one of the best endings in film history. Nevertheless, we can’t help
but notice that Keyser Soze wasn’t all that bright after all. Think about it:
the man spent hours and hours in the police station talking with the cop,
showing his face, when a faxed picture of him could have
arrived any minute.
TERMINATOR
Seriously, why didn’t Skynet just send more Terminators to finish the job?
First it sent A Cyberdyne Systems series T-800 Model 101 Terminator,
who failed miserably, and then it had to wait over a decade to send the
liquid T-1000 who didn’t manage to finish the job either. Why couldn’t
they send a dozen Terminators to make sure John Connor was dead?
TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY
In the first Terminator movie, its explained pretty clearly that only objects
made of organic tissue can time-travel, which is the main reason why
Kyle Reese and the Terminator are both naked when they arrive.
The problem is that T-1000 is made entirely of liquid metal and therefore
has no tissue matter, so how was he able to time-travel?
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
A question I always have after watching this amazing movie was
“Who put the poster back in place after Andy’s incredible successful
escape? How exactly did he reattach the poster from inside the
tunnel after going-in head first?”
THE KARATE KID
In this classic 80s film which made Karate a major trend among
youngsters we hear again and again how kicking your opponent
in the face is illegal and won’t be tolerated by the tournament’s
officials. However, Daniel-san beats Jonny in the final with the
legendary crane kick to the face, becomes a champion, and gets the
girl too. So what? Just a minor little detail as long as it’s the
“good” guy doing the face smashing, right?
THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
When Evan asks his cellmate to look at his hands for proof that he
can time travel, he then travels back to when he was a kid and stabs
his palms. He now has marks on his hands as proof. But if he got
those marks when he was a kid he would have had marks on his hands
when he went to jail, no? So the marks being there wouldn’t have
proved anything to anyone but Evan himself if you think about it.
RETURN OF THE JEDI
This is not just another oddity but probably one of the greatest
blunders in modern film history: the Empire builds a second Death Star
with the same incredible design flaw—a straight path to its reactor
that if blown, destroys the whole station.
STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE
Wasn’t the existence and identity of Vader’s children supposed to be a
secret? Why, then, did Luke have the name Skywalker, and why was
he raised by Anakin’s own family in a place that Anakin himself
visited and knew about?
