School Spirit (1985)

Continuity mistake: Madeleine's dress sleeves are pulled back when she's first on campus with Grinshaw. Then, when she meets Danny, they're suddenly down at full length.

Question: Unless it needed final tuning, why doesn't Kingpin order Doc Ock to operate his collider that very day, as soon as possible?

Batman: Arkham City

Stupidity: Regardless of his schedule in the side mission "A Shot In The Dark," Deadshot could've killed Batman while he was talking to his first target.

Other mistake: Doc Ock's weakness in Spider-Man 2 was electricity, which knocked him out. Yet Electro doesn't bother him as he's shooting off jolts prior to Ock curing him.

Spider-Man (1994)

Answer: I believe it was just a way to try and show the suit is "oily" or reflective. It also helps define the character's features since otherwise, he'd just be a flat black color. It's similar to how the black suit Spidey had blue outlines. (I don't know why they chose a pink/red color... maybe because red is associated with power/fire/war, so it's a more "evil" color?)

Question: Since Norman doesn't die, does this mean Harry won't die either? What would happen to Oscorp once he's exposed?

Clue (1985)

Answer: The game has tons of different possible outcomes. So, to emulate that, they filmed different possible endings for the film.

TedStixon

Answer: I think to tie in the movie with the gameplay of the board game more. Often when playing, someone will incorrectly guess what happened, who was the killer, with which weapon, and what room. Then the answer in the envelope is revealed to show what really happened. So they made different endings like someone guessed wrong. I think the real question is why were there 3 different versions of the film released to theaters, each with a different ending. It seems it was a marketing idea that backfired and didn't even fit the concept of tying it into the board game.

Batman: Arkham Origins

Answer: His belief in a family curse.

Captain Defenestrator

Question: Given Kate met Gizmo in the previous movie, how could she mistake Daffy for him? He looks different from Gizmo.

Rob245

Answer: She only saw him briefly, never in full light either. Plus, it was some time ago. I don't think she would suspect there is another one either.

At the end of the first movie, after killing the gremlins, everyone is at Billy's house, and Kate puts a thermometer in Gizmo's mouth and looks directly at him while doing it, giving her plenty of time to look at him.

Still, very briefly, still in low light. She has had way less interaction with Gizmo overall.

No Hard Feelings (2023)

Question: If Maddie's driving a van borrowed from her friends, then why not use this for her job until she can buy a new car?

Rob245

Answer: Uber has multiple rules regarding the cars drivers are allowed to use, and the van wouldn't meet most of them. Ex. It's not technically her car, so her name wouldn't likely be on the insurance policy, which is one of the requirements. It doesn't have a proper passenger seatbelt. The condition of the van itself doesn't seem to line up with what they want in terms of cosmetics and accessibility. Etc. You can't just drive any old car you want with Uber. If she tried to, she'd probably just immediately get reported by a rider, given the van's condition.

Trivia: When Miles is shrunk by Mysterio, this is a nod back to Amazing Spider-Man issues 66-67, when he shrunk Peter inside a miniature amusement park model.

Plot hole: Surely Dr Strange would notice the Wand of Watoomb missing from his home and come looking for it.

Suggested correction: He did know it was missing. After Miles sent Felicia to Paris, the wand immediately vanished from his hand. Miles then received a note from Wong saying that they had just returned and owed him one. So Dr. Strange knew that the wand was missing and used magic to find it.
