Raiders of the Lost Ark, how was the sunlight spike trap reset after Indy and Doc Oc passed through it?
This isn't years later, but why couldn't the ship fire missiles at the missile turrets in Top Gun: Maverick?
Do not, for the love of all that's holy, attempt to Google Stallone's explanation for how the three seashells work. Toilet paper would be an improvement!
I read it elsewhere, and yeah, blecchhh. But no worries... given that Cocteau was a major germaphobe, I'm pretty sure it didn't work that way. My theory? There are three buttons on 2030's toilets, and seashells are a popular decorative motif for keeping them covered until you need them. Button #1 gives your behind a well placed squirt of warm water, like a bidet but you don't have to relocate. Button #2 hits you with a nice blast of toasty warm air, rendering your "down there" spot dry and cozy. And Button #3 gives you a puff of scented powder or something. Perfectly hygienic, just the sort of thing that would appeal to a guy for whom fluid transfer was a big no-no.
My theory was that the seashells, when combined in a certain way, generated a sonic field that cleaned you out. Kind of like Trek's sonic showers. But yours works too.
Well, that sort of tech did exist in 2032 San Angeles, for removing spray paint anyway... only problem is it was lethal. It's strange that Stallone was called the Demolition Man, but both the buildings that were demolished in the movie were actually destroyed by Phoenix. The museum was busted up as well, but both if them were responsible. The only place that Spartan really destroyed was the car dealership. And fun fact... in the book, after Spartan drives the Oldsmobile muscle car out the window, one of the car shoppers declares: "I want one of those!"
I just watched Air Force One again. It’s a very good movie but that ending is rather silly watching it now. Couldn’t they have the guy just send over parachutes rather than dragging them back slowly? Also, I find it hard to believe the baddie got rid of all the parachutes. I would imagine a plane like that would have them everywhere.
Not necessarily. Most jets of that size don't have parachutes onboard because you can't really bail out from the height and velocity they typically fly at. The wind speed would disintegrate you, and the lack of atmosphere at 37,000 feet would suffocate you.
No, I know that. But if you ever fly on a commercial jet, there are no parachutes for the passengers. It's just not an item they expect you to need. Not saying AF1 doesn't have them, but they wouldn't be a priority, since the odds of people being in position to parachute out is quite low.
Show Sapito some respect. That's not a typo. I'm quoting Ford. Most of the parachutes had been earlier used when the majority of the surviving crew escaped with the future postmaster general. The plane was well over water when the film was about to conclude. Using chutes then would have led to fatal freezings at best by that point. I enjoyed the last third of AFO very much, though certain moments give you throat lumps when you consider historical events from four years later. The middle is a bit extra-derivative. Harrison Ford on his own seemed rather been-there, done-that. For similar reasons, UNDER SIEGE perked up when Seagal found male reinforcements. I just keep wondering what the hell was Bernie Casey doing for the bulk of the movie just before the shooting started. Perhaps the world's longest coffee break?
