Halloween 3

Movie takes place on the west coast. Wouldn't the rest of the country already be dead or whatever by the time the commercial aired at the end of the movie?

i remember reading that real life POWs at the stalag that inspired 'the great escape', weren't too happy about the plot holes.

Your comment reminds me of the major hole in the original Halloween which was supposed to take place in Illinois but was clearly somewhere warm (ie California) when the exteriors of the school were shown along with strange trees and the occasional shot with mountains in the background.

Along the same lines, there were the scenes from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation where they are driving somewhere outside the burbs of Chicago to cut down a tree. Suddenly Illinois is mountainous and filled with giant pine groves and tree hauler trucks.

lampoon was probably just south of I-80.

The Hunt for Red October...

There's a dramatic reveal when ramius uses English. But they had to know he spoke English. The signaled him thru the periscope in Morse code.

I don't think it was "a dramatic reveal". I just think the producers didn't want the audience to read subtitles throughout the movie.

:lol: Just saw this for the first time. These two flaws have grated on me for years. The other thing about Christmas Vacation is when Clark is outside in the daylight hanging lights, the brightness of the sun and the size of the shadows are all wrong for our latitude in late december. And there is snow on fully leafed-out trees.

this reminds me of "shining through" which has an american pretending to have an injury to his neck so he doesn't have to speak german in order to infiltrate them so he would just use basic sign language to get by; but in order to pass for that, he'd have to *understand* german when being spoken to, which he doesn't.

In Caddyshack the match was tied when Rodney says "double or nothing". There was nothing to double at that point. If Danny makes the putt the match ends in a tie and no one owes anything. If Danny misses Dr. Beeper and Judge Smails win $40k. Even if you want to assume they were betting $80k on Danny making the putt - well he didn't as far as the rules of golf say. The ball had clearly come to rest for 10 seconds.
