Sudden Death (1995)
Plot hole: Two helicopters approach the arena and one gets shot down. A huge explosion in the middle of a large city would be seen by thousands of people and police would respond, but law enforcement do not come and investigate.

Sudden Death (1995)
Stupidity: The secret service officer near the elevator gets shot right in the middle of his head by the Penguin mascot, and she drags his dead body into the elevator. Suddenly he's able to moan and groan and she shoots him again. The guy was very shot in the head, as in graphically. How is he suddenly alive enough to moan?

Suggested correction: A bullet to the head is not guaranteed to kill someone. Movies and video games have taught us that being shot in the head is instant death, but that just isn't the case.
Pretty sure you wouldn't wake up in seconds after a bullet to the head.
Correct. You probably would just lay there stunned while moaning and groaning... exactly like the scene depicts.
He didn't "wake up", he moaned. Which is 100% possible and actually happens quite frequently.

Doug Takes the Case / Doug's Secret Song - S2-E1
Audio problem: Around 3 and a half minutes into the episode, Doug, as the Chameleon, says he has a good idea as to who would've taken BeeBe's radio. The end of this sentence is very unnaturally pitched up.
