MOVIE ODDITIES THAT MAKE NO SENSE

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?
