Why is no-one concerned about a nuclear bomb going off in the sea? Surely it would wipe out all marine life for miles around, and make the area unfit for ships and cargo to sail through, and practically destroy all businesses in/around the harbour? That isn't even taking into account the nuclear fallout. (This is a valid mistake for the theatrical cut of the film, regardless of book, etc., discrepencies) [The yield of the bomb is never mentioned. From the shot of the suitcase falling towards the ocean, you can't see the harbor, we have no idea where it hit. It is not clear how far it sank before exploding. Their immediate concern was that it did not explode on land and kill people. Fallout would not be a concern for the police or the FBI on the scene. Those concerns would be covered by others not shown in the film.] Corrected by Rlvlk

However, that high up, it would create a strong sucking force, pulling everyone towards it. [I was in a plane similar to the one in the movie, cruising around 5000 feet (from Freeport to West Palm Beach), and the cabin door popped open. Some guy who had seen too many James Bond movies gave the passenger nearest the door a bear hug to keep him from getting sucked out, but it wasn't necessary. The sucking comes from the difference in air pressure and at 5000 feet there isn't that much. Not enough to pull people towards it.] When Arthur finds out that the TV has been shot, he screams that it was a RCA 39 in. horizontal. But, later in the movie, Tim Allen (as the narrator) says that Arthur knew the bullet was meant for him and not Mr. Zenith. Two completely different TV's. [He says "the bullet that hit Xena" (as in Xena: Warrior Princess) not Zenith]You may also like: Pollyanna | Desperate Measures | Double Take | Darling Lili | High Plains Drifter
