MOVIE QUIRKS THAT MAKE NO SENSE

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS

At the end of this magical Tim Burton film, we all see Edward carving

ice sculptures in his mansion. Just one small detail though:

Where did he get the ice from? Last time we checked the movie’s

setting was in a very warm climate and Edward’s little home

definitely didn’t have a freezer.

 

 

E.T.

E.T.

In one of the most iconic movie scenes in history (the legendary

bike scene) E.T. clearly showcases his ability to levitate objects

and himself. So the question is why didn’t he levitate himself at

the beginning of the film back onto his spaceship?

 

 

CITIZEN KANE

Citizen Kane en.wikipedia.org

Citizen Kane is one of the best films ever made and the moment

Charles Foster Kane says “Rosebud” in his deathbed is one of

the most iconic moments in movie history. However, have you

thought about the fact that there is no one to hear him say this

iconic word since his maid enters the room a couple of seconds

after his death? Since no one but the audience hears him say

“Rosebud,” there is no reason for a reporter to search for

meaning in a word no one in the film heard him say.

 

 

CARS

This happy animated movie, which made Owen Wilson’s voice

likable to millions of kids (and adults) around the world, has a

serious flaw: In a world built along human lines, but inhabited

by cars, who built it? Cars?

 

 

BATMAN (1989)

During the climactic confrontation in the original movie, Batman tells

the Joker (played by Jack Nicholson), “You killed my parents.”

The Joker’s response is that he was only a kid when he did that,

which pretty much means he knows Batman’s secret identity, which

should significantly change our view on everything that’s happened

before and after between Batman and the Joker. So either we have

to deal with an oversight here or the Joker is just giving the

standard answer he usually gives in such circumstances. It’s your call!

 

 

AVATAR

The spaceship that was supposed to bomb the Tree of Souls could

have simply bombed them from a higher altitude where the flying

creatures could not breathe. There was no reason for it to fly that low.

 

 

ALIENS

Aliens

After the initial skirmish, it takes the aliens a long time to crawl into

the ventilation shafts so they can infiltrate the colony HQ from above.

So the logical question is why didn’t they just try to bash the doors

in? How hard could it have been for them, really? According to

Cameron’s commentary they did destroy the doors but the scene

ended up on the cutting-room floor due to time constraints.

 

 

THE MATRIX

In 1999 there was a flick that changed the way we see films thanks

to its unique scenario and stunning visual effects. Of course,

we are referring to The Matrix, which, despite its undeniable

awesomeness, had a few inconsistencies with the most glaring

one being that since you need an “operator” in the real world to dial

you in and out of the Matrix, how did Cypher manage to enter,

meet Agent Smith, betray his buddies, and then return to the

real world as though nothing happened?
