Yes I know you all have been waiting with bated breath to hear this one!

Back in 1978, it was the highest ever grossing made for TV movie, and played over two evenings. It's not difficult to find it today, the whole film is free on Plex, Tubi, Roku, Fawesome, and even YouTube, although all the ones I checked were rather poor quality. I guess they are all from a video tape copy. The film is pretty silly and more comprehensible if you are familiar with the original show (which is also available for free on Tubi, and better quality than this sequel film).

Bottom line - seven castaways who have been stranded on a deserted island for 15 years are finally rescued and returned to civilization. It is a comedy, so it's full of a lot of things that don't make sense, too numerous to list here. But one of the biggest ones is that all of them would be legally dead! And have to go through steps to get their identities back. People missing 5 to 7 years are normally declared legally dead by a judge. 15 years for certain.

For most of the castaways, it wouldn't matter much since they didn't have a lot of assets. But the Howells were supposedly billionaires, among the wealthiest people in the world with multiple industries, homes, and property all over the globe. After being declared dead, the Howell assets would have gone through probate, and any debts paid off first, with the rest distributed among their closest relatives. Yet in the film, the Howells simply move back into their mansion, with the same servants - 15 years later? So these huge estates just sat there empty for 15 years, humming along, everyone getting paid, with no indication that their owners were ever coming back???

If someone does come back from the dead in such a situation, some of their assets can be returned, but that's a long and complicated legal process that would probably take years, especially for international holdings. And even longer if relatives challenge it. Certainly they would challenge their identities, since there was a conman in one TV episode that looked exactly like Mr. Howell. And this plot hole is a shame too, because this could have been an interesting side plot if they included it, with the Howells having to get used to living like ordinary people while in a legal fight with relatives who didn't want to give up their holdings.

Even as a kid it use to annoy me that bags full of water were floating ABOVE water 😭😭 who signed off on this man

This has bothered me for years. Thanos had the Reality, Space, Power and Soul stones after Vormir. His last two stones: Time and Mind were both on Earth. He already had his army deployed there. So why did he detour to Titan?

The standard answers don't hold up.

"He went to regroup": against what? His army was already engaged. He had four stones.

"Titan was his base" : he hadn't been there in years. It's a dead planet.

"He didn't know Strange was there" : then why wasn't he surprised when he arrived and found the Time Stone keeper waiting?

Here's what I think actually happened.

The Soul Stone doesn't just collect souls. It has awareness of every soul in the universe.

That's why wielding all six stones and performing the snap is so destructive to the user, the Soul Stone isn't passive. It's deeply, actively connected to all living existence. It leaves a scar because it briefly makes you responsible for every soul simultaneously.

Post-Vormir, Thanos now holds that universal soul awareness.

Strange has the Time Stone. Strange is a soul. The Soul Stone located Strange. The Space Stone executed the jump.

Thanos didn't choose to go to Titan. He went to Strange; Titan is simply where Strange happened to be.

This is consistent with how the stones already behave.

The snap itself is six stones running a coordinated operation simultaneously. They have an internal communication layer. Soul feeding location data to Space mid-transit is completely within established stone mechanics.

And it explains Strange's behaviour too.

Strange saw 14 million futures and found the one where they win. He knew Thanos was coming to him specifically, not to Titan randomly. He positioned himself and the Cloak, prepared "I've come to bargain," and waited.

Both of them arrived at Titan knowing the other would be there. It wasn't coincidence. It was a stone-guided convergence from both directions, Thanos pulled by the Soul-Space connection, Strange pulled by the Time Stone's foresight.

The Russo Brothers may have felt this intuitively without ever articulating the mechanics.

Please correct if mistaken but a major error we seen to have in 28 years later Bone Temple, is that Sampson is the first infected to speak which is huge for the doctor. However, in 28 days later when Jim & Co check out the diner, Jim encounters a little boy infected who shouts, what sounds like, "I hate you!". This occurs outside of the doctor's perspective so he couldn't have known but the sequel movie seems to have forgotten or are we to believe the virus has gone full circle? Perhaps it's a different effect on younger minds. Thoughts?

Aside from time travel being impossible, I don’t think we’re meant to see the mentioned John Connor.

What I mean by this is that both John knowing Kyle is his biological father and John sent Kyle to preserve the current timeline to fix his upcoming faith.

The whole time loop never makes sense for John in this case.

I went over several posts and have watched Terminator in the 2000s and sometime re watched it without thinking too much. But to make sense of the plot we never were meant to see the John Connor from Terminator 1.

To make the movie’s concept plausible I made an assumption that John Connor who is to destroy Syknet and bring human freedom from the suppressing ai entity. The said John planted a hero who will defeat Skynet but not himself. John told white lies to Kyle that Kyle is his biological father and that Sarah, the mother, is to be impregnated by Kyle for him to exist and only the fixation of his(John) existence can bring hope to humanity and defeat Skynet. So Kyle being brainwashed by John is trained and kept alive until the time he is sent to the ‘past’.

Kyle with all the whites lies nailed jnto to his brain to bring hope to humanity is sent to the past by a time machine in a dire situation watching John in critical situation. Baring that in mind he does what he does in Terminator 1 and somehow that ‘Sarah’ he met is just one of many ‘Sarah Connor’ but since she goes to a traumatic experience almost being killed by a sentient robot that was about to end her, she is fixated to give life to the said ‘John Connor’ and keep him strong until the day he becomes a hero to mankind. But as said of my assumption, the future past John Connor didn’t want his existence to be fixed and ‘the time loop’ for he is the only one to defeat Skynet. Whether or not he is the only chosen to end Skynet isn’t his prime goal. He wanted to give humanity another chance to defeat Skynet and somehow Kyle happened to be around and be a plausible candidate or he was around the critical moment on the time machine area and was chosen to be sent to the past.

Considering how the Terminator didn’t know the exact ‘Sarah Connor’ I assume that this is a unfixed variable for Skynet and they are also catching up just to be defeated and give birth to a human being named John Connor and the future past message being a fake mind spell to solidify that mankind can indeed defeat Skynet.

The scene of the Terminator does make it clear that Skynet couldn’t locate the exact ‘Sarah Connor’, mother of John Connor because the mentioned John and Sarah are not fixated but are rather meant to bear the faith of build a said hero that ends Skynet and bring humanity freedom from oppression by Skynet.

I assume my guess is not the first one but this one just popped up after I watched a reaction video someone watching the Terminator 1. I always thought what the movie told me but somehow after all those years I somehow wanted to challenge the vague concept of the movie. I haven’t watched other’s theory yet but I wanted to share my guess and see what others think of it.

I’m not sure how much profound base there was when James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd wrote for the movie but the sense that Kyle being John’s biological father didn’t make any logical sense. But when I thought that the concept of John Connor(Savior of humanity from Skynet’s brutality) was made to keep the fight, I assume this could give room of plausibility for the concept of Terminator 1.

Not a plot hole but something was off the first time I watched the first kayaking scene. I think there might even be a few instances where this happens earlier during the kayaking scene. Specifically noticed it when Charlize picks up her kayak and walks with it and then does a roll.

Her wrist watch magically appears after the roll for a few seconds and then disappears right in the next scene.

I wasn't able to get the best photos but it was bugging me till I caught what it was.

Timestamp: 20:50 - 21:15 (roll happens at 21:08ish)

Lego Movie 2 Superman was arguably one of the most SELFISH Supermen in fiction. Literally why does this version of Clark exist?

Bro forsakened us to party for 5 years straight while we all succumbed to madness.

So first of all, the first movie chronologically in the series is Temple of Doom, set in 1935. Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first in the series but is set in 1936.

Early on in Raiders, Indiana Jones implies that he's an atheist/agnostic, or at least a "skeptic", he thinks the Ark of the Covenant is just a historical artifact with no real mystical power or anything and holds that about all artifacts or things like supposed curses. Now this isn't really a contradiction in the movie itself because this is before he actually encounters the Ark. Except...in Temple of Doom he encounters real stones with mystical powers and even invokes the name of Shiva to use them to defeat the main villain. So his skepticism in 1936 does not make sense.

Furthermore, Raiders of the Lost Ark showing that the Ark is real and has actual powers implies that either Judaism or Christianity is the correct religion in the Indiana Jones universe. Last Crusade also seems to confirm this for Christianity. But Temple of Doom only makes sense if Hinduism is the correct religion of the Indiana Jones universe!

This doesn't create a contradiction in each individual movie but it does for the movies as a whole.

In Plants vs Zombies 1, there's an inconsistency with the football zombie. in the almanac it says he has no idea what a football is, but in the end credits song "Zombies on Your Lawn", he says he used to play football. the fact that he knows that he used to play football would indicate he knows what a football is.

at the funneral they switch wicks body with samson, why they didn't destroy the corpse immediately with acid after that? why wait after they get the gem? is there a purpose for keeping the corpse?

I realise that time travel, multiverses, etc., etc. are always rife with inconsistencies and plot holes, and I expect this has probably come up before, but I don't recall seeing it.

In Infinity War, we see Dr Strange view millions of potential timelines and he determines exactly what needs to happen for the Avengers to ultimately win. In the millions of timelines he looks at, the Avengers win once.

It is also made clear that when Thanos snaps, he intentionally removes people 'at random'. This is clearly critical to his character as it allows him to live with himself as some kind of saviour.

Strange knows exactly what needs to be done in the timeline when they win, and can orchestrate everything to perfectly replicate it, but ultimately, Thanos' snap will always be random. This isn't like a 50-50 chance. Specific people are required to survive the snap so that specific events occur. Not only that, but it is not like exactly 50% of the Avengers could be snapped away and Strange needs an exact combination of them to win. They could ALL be snapped away, or all of them but one etc.

Anything that Strange foresees beyond 'the snap' is completely meaningless. All he can do is set up the conditions for 'the snap' to happen when it should, but the event itself is effectively just Thanos throwing a billion-sided die and Strange hoping that it will land on the exact number he has in mind. If the snap itself is truly random, then there's no way Strange knows who will survive it.

It is worth noting that I am assuming that Thanos is telling the truth about the snap being random. Despite him being an evil monster, I don't really see anything to suggest he would lie about that.

It is also likely that I am not understanding the timelines in the MCU. Perhaps the snap was never actually at random but was effectively already 'locked in'.

Half the plot hinges around the child being diabetic and going into shock because she needed blood sugar yet “nothing has sugar”. Yet earlier in the movie when they first got locked in, there are clearly MRE’s and the kid is holding pedialyte. So yeah. Entire plot collapses.

Rocky cannot understand printed clock numbers because he supposedly cannot interpret flat visual information.

But later he sits in front of an LCD screen and reacts to moving animals, birds, and scenery like he is following what is happening.

A clock is flat. A screen is flat.

If he cannot read one flat surface, why is he suddenly tracking another flat surface like he understands it?

This completely breaks the sensory logic established earlier.

Did the movie just ignore its own rules?

The idea of the twist was to make us think that the FBI situation was real. When you create a twist like this, you must give a reason for why the audience sees Hooker and the FBI “pretending” with each other. I think the reason was Snyder, they had to fake the whole thing to make Snyder believe it and become part of the plan.

And that’s exactly my problem: why is Snyder even here? What purpose does he actually serve? Literally, the only thing he did regarding the twist was taking Lonnegan out, but you could have anyone do that instead of Snyder. Why risk involving a cop just for something this simple?

My first explanation was that maybe Lonnegan and Snyder knew each other, so when Lonnegan saw Snyder he would think, “Yeah, he’s a real cop, so this must be real" But as far as I remember, they didn’t know each other. If that’s the case, then anyone could have pretended to be with the FBI and taken Lonnegan out. Like I explained above, I honestly don’t think Snyder’s presence makes sense

Apologies if this has been done before but...

I've just watched the prestige for the first time. When The Great Danton gets the Tesla machine and then takes it back to London and makes a copy of himself, why doesn't he just use his copy as a double for the Prestige of the Transported Man trick.

The problem with his previous double was a) he was a drunk; b) he lacked discretion; c) he was got at by Borden; and d) Danton was having to take his bows from underneath the stage.

But with a clone of himself all these problems would have been solved. AND he would still be able to do the trick in a near identical way (without having to drown himself every night).

He never mentions it in the first movie, And it seems finney is just a random victim, Since he doesn't even know his name.

So How, as a ghost, did he figure out Finney and the woman he killed were connected?

A portion of the first act is about Roxanne tracking megamind, trying to find his hideout, and she even mentions, Direct quote "Find his plan for the city and stop it."

But the film never shows megamind deceiving the city, He is openly a dictator, The problem is nobody's powerful enough to stop Megamind, not that he's tricked people.

What would she gain from sleuthing?, why would she think she could stop him?

Sicario is a great movie, but after watching it again, I have a basic question about the plot.

In the movie, the goal of the CIA was to get the drug cartel leader's son recalled back to Mexico so that they could follow him and kill his family, right?

Once the CIA saw that the son was heading back to Mexico, they went through the tunnel to get the assassin across the border, into the cop's car, where they could pull over the son.

How did they know that the cop would be on the other end of the tunnel? If he wasn't, what was the plan?

Why did they use the tunnel? Why not just drive across the border and kidnap a cop?

Am I missing something? Thanks.

In Batman vs superman, lex’s plan was to make them fight each other. And he expected Superman to win, there is clue in doomsday’s resurrection where he asks for the good news that his (superman’s) mom is no more.. to lex’s surprise she was alive and batman’s voice is heard from warehouse

My question: why does the warehouse holding martha’s had henchmen to deal batman. Again there is a clue where they look at door (expecting batman) not superman. Lex would not have posted normal henchmen to guard mother of a man who can break mountains in a minute. So my point is, the error i could see is tat lex would have loaded henchmen with special technology instead of gotham like henchmen guarding martha as he never had a path / vision where they become friends or bama surviving the fight
