Fortress (1992)

Other mistake: When D-Day discovers that the intestinators are magnetic, he puts the spare intestinator on himself to demonstrate. There are no troubles at all. When Stiggs volunteers to go first and have his intestinator removed from his body, not only does D-Day struggle to find where it is located, but you can also see where the intestinator moves inside his body where it didn't with D-Day's body. (01:04:30 - 01:07:00)

Question: Bitsey Bloom and Zach Stemmons are sharing a motel room together. There are two separate beds in that room so why is Zach sleeping on the floor? (01:35:13 - 01:35:40)

oobs

Answer: Perhaps to give her more space and privacy. Bitsey would be less visible to him from the floor.

Question: Although I enjoy the game of ice hockey, I still haven't fully understood the tactics teams have. Having said that, what is the tactics of putting 2 heavy enforcers in Fulton Reed and Dean Portman on the same line? Wouldn't it be better if they were on separate lines throughout the games, having at least one heavy hitting enforcer on the ice longer than 2 on the same line that I've noticed in the movies?

oobs

Answer: There may be a number of reasons, but the most likely is that, if players work really well together, it makes sense to have them on the same line, regardless if they are both enforcers or not. To give an example, the 1990s Detroit Red Wings had the "Grind Line", which consisted of three forwards who were all known for their aggressive, physical style. The two wingers in particular were team enforcers. They meshed so well as a unit it wouldn't have been as effective to split them onto different lines, just to provide an enforcer to each. The combination of all three on one line worked very well, and other teams copied the format, though of course it was not unique to this team (see, for example, the Philadelphia Flyers' Legion of Doom).

The Mighty Ducks (1992)

Plot hole: When Coach Bombay is in the cafe talking to Charlie Conway about handing over the coaching position to Jessie and Terry Hall's dad. Isn't that a violation of his community service orders that he has to coach this side? (01:01:35 - 01:02:30)

Angel (1999)

Eternity - S1-E17

Plot hole: When someone broke into Rebeca Lowell's place, Angel storms in to fight whoever it was the broke into her place. Problem is, Angel, being a vampire, has to be invited into someone's place before entering, he shouldn't be able to enter her house. (00:12:10)

oobs

Plot hole: At the gas station exploding scene, we see van Damme and the reporter getting in the car and drive off. Just after van Damme and the reporter drive off, we see Lundren get up from the rear seats to try to strangle van Damme. Why would Lundren be there when firstly, they had no idea van Damme took the chip out of his leg, and secondly, after realising they had been set up, they had n idea where van Damme or the reporter would be at that stage. (00:51:54 - 00:52:30)

Suggested correction: He saw the vehicle they drove away from the motel in earlier. Once the building blew up and they knew it was a setup, waiting in their vehicle is a completely logical move. Them not noticing a 6'5 240lb man in the back is a lot more bizarre.

Timecop (1994)

Plot hole: When Max Walker was using the forklift to firstly as protection, then lift himself up while he stands on the pallet, there is no way the forklift would be able to lift Max but itself. It needs someone to be on the forklift pulling the lever to lift the forks up. (00:52:00)

Other mistake: When Freddy puts his claws through Grady, not only do thy go through him, they manage to go well past the door. There is no way Freddy's claws are that long. (00:57:20)

Suggested correction: Since when can't Freddy exaggerate anything to aid his killings?

Oculus (2013)

Question: When the siblings are outside and Tim calls for help, they are unsure whether he did or not, so he tries again to get a muffled sound. Why didn't they run away from the house and try again? Try and keep clear of the house? (01:19:00)

Who Am I? - S7-E5

Character mistake: In every episode, whenever Robert eats, he always touches his food with his chin first before he eats it, but when he took a cookie that Marie cooked for Raymond, there was no 'touching the chin'.

Fortress (1992)

Question: Apparently former VFL/AFL star Warwick Capper has a cameo appearance in this movie. Wondering where he is? Is he the zombie looking dude around 20:30-20:40 minute mark?

oobs

Answer: Yes, that's him.

Plot hole: Nancy has realised she has pulled Freddy out of her dream, but later Freddy and Nancy were basically in the same position in Nancy's dream, why didn't Freddy come out of the dream world and come into reality then? (00:40:17 - 01:18:01)

The Terminator (1984)

Question: Towards the end of the movie when Kyle Reese dies, what will happen to him, considering he's from the future and there is no way he could be identified?

oobs

Answer: He would likely be considered as a "John Doe," with some identifying number, then buried in a modern-day equivalent of a "Potter's Field," where unknown persons are buried. Sarah Conner could have supplied Kyle's name, though this could not be verified and he'd still be considered as an unknown.

raywest

Answer: Also, in the sequel when the T-1000 looks up John Connor's info on the police car's computer, John's father is listed as "unknown', so any info Sarah had given the police was apparently disregarded.

zendaddy621

Answer: He'd be treated like any other John Doe corpse.

Grudge Match (2013)

15th Nov 2019

Kiss the Girls (1997)

Question: The villain is driving off with Morgan Freeman running right behind him with a gun in his hand. Why didn't Freeman try and shoot the tyres? (01:10:00)

oobs

Answer: Shooting out of the tires on a fleeing vehicle is not a viable, realistic strategy. It is a movie cliche akin to shooting out a padlock or saving a hanging man by shooting the rope. It is not something people do in real life and it is therefore realistic that Morgan Freeman wouldn't attempt to do so in this film.

28 Days Later (2002)

Other mistake: When Jim, Selena, Frank and his daughter enter the supermarket, you can notice all the fresh produce (apples, carrots etc) looking fresh. This virus has been going on for a few days now, and supermarkets get their fresh produce out immediately. After 10 days or so, give or take, the fresh produce shouldn't be looking this fresh. (00:46:00)

Creed II (2018)

Trivia: Andonis Creed proposes to his girlfriend to his girlfriend in the "Creed" sequel just after he won the heavyweight title, like Rocky Balboa did in Rocky II, after he beat Apollo Creed for the heavyweight title. (00:11:00)

Pants On Fire - S3-E14

Other mistake: Early in the episode, Frank turns on the heater and the family discover a bottle top in one of the vents Ray has thrown from a party he held 20 years ago. This couldn't have been the 1st time the heater had been used in that amount of time. (00:03:00)

Immortal Kombat - S1-E4

Other mistake: When the monk returns the water bottle to Siro and Taja, not long after talking to them (not realising the water bottle belongs to Kung Lao), how did Siro and Taja get so far ahead of the monk in that short amount of time? (00:05:35 - 00:06:35)

Question: When Will convinces Mark to hold off leaving town so he can go save Lori, Mark says "OK, but if you're not here by morning, I'm outta here." Just wondering how Mark was going to leave town (if he survived the night and Will didn't make it back) since Will had his vehicle?

oobs

Answer: He could choose to either hitchhike or get someone to take him to the next town.

Answer: Mark could have hiked on out of town. Or he could have bicycled. Or got a bus. Or a cab.

ChristmasJonesfan

Answer: The town has said no-one comes in, and no-one leaves (which how do some of the character get to crystal lake which is in the movie mistakes as a plot hole) how could he leave?
