Question: At the salmon run, what does the foreign bear say?
Answer: A good translation would be "I almost froze to death while I was going over the huge icy mountain pass, it was something which I only barely survived! Barely!
Question: At the end of the movie, Jack receives a message. Who sent the message to Jack's ship and what did it say?
Answer: The message said that the Frenchman that they kept on board was in reality the captain, and not the ship's doctor as they had believed. The person who sent Jack the message was one of his officers (although I can't think of his name right now.).
Question: *spoilers* I read that in the play, Alice is hit by a car and killed. At the end of the movie, we see her walking down a street, and she keeps walking as a light changes to a red hand sign. Is this supposed to mean that she also gets hit by a car in this version, but the movie ends and doesn't show her being hit?
Answer: I think you are correct; that's what is implied by the red light at the crosswalk. A note on that same scene... I couldn't figure out why all the other pedestrians are looking at her, before she gets to the crosswalk.
Answer: It's left for your interpretation.
Question: How come only a select few people are supposed to be able to open the box (the ritual leader not being one of them) but it managed to open just by Amy throwing it across the room at the end? In the past movies also, anyone who gets their hands on the cube seem to have little or no trouble opening it.
Answer: There is no logical answer to this. This should just be added to the mistake section.
Question: Did any of Jonas' DOT parts or even the majority of it come from the little robot, "Jinx" in the movie Space Camp? Most of DOT looks like Jinx.
Chosen answer: Because the two films are completely unrelated (even from a company perspective), and because there isn't some giant Hollywood Prop Flea Market where everybody shares each other's props, I'm going to say no. The design may have been based on the robot from the movie.
Question: How old is Donna supposed to be? I know Meryl Streep is 59 but Donna couldn't be that old, could she? Not if Sophie is 20 and it is indicated that Donna was a young mother, as she got thrown out by her parents when she got pregnant.
Answer: She had to have been in early 20s when pregnant with Sophie because in the beginning of Mamma Mia 2 she, along with Rosie and Tanya, is graduating from Oxford University.
Answer: I looked it up, and not only is it not specified for the movie, but it's not specified for the stage show either. I think it's safe to assume she's meant to be in her early-to-mid forties, though.
Oh hell no - I'm 42 and she is definitely old enough looking to be my mother .
Answer: I would say late 30's to early 40's because, I could be wrong, but it would seem a bit off if she got thrown out when she was in her early 20's, however if she was 17 then it would be more likely she was still living with her parents, Plus she had a diary and the way she wrote in it seemed like how a teenager would. My overall guess is between 39-47.
Not really...if you actually know the movie Rosie says something about Donna sounding like her mother and "Catholic guilt." Her age wouldn't matter at all...she got pregnant out of wedlock and with a possibility of three different men...being Catholic her situation would be a huge deal. She may not have been thrown out either. Donna simply says her mother told her "not to bother coming back" meaning what she'd done caused her mother to disown her. I'd put her age early 20s.
Question: When Randall takes a photo of Warren and Jeannie at the airport after the mother's funeral, what happens to the camera he uses? He seems to put it down on something behind Warren, but then walks past Warren to get his luggage. Warren walks forward toward the gate and isn't seen to pick anything up after saying goodbye. I guess he could have, but wouldn't it have been stolen by then if it was left behind? I didn't see Randall put it in a pocket or bag.
Answer: He could have picked it up. Besides, it may not have been stolen, but picked up by security, or otherwise taken to Lost and Found.
Question: In this episode we see the television show with the house looking very similar. Is this the real Bundy set redecorated, and when we see the porch and living room, is this the same set? Or was this a custom set specifically for this scene/episode?
Answer: Same set, producers often do this to save money. It can even transcend shows and movies; for example most film companies only have one airplane fuselage set, so the plane in Die Hard 2 is the same as the plane in Planes, Trains and Automobiles is same as the plane in Airplane. Just redecorated a bit.
Question: I don't understand how to get to the easter egg. I have several episodes and I tried it on all of them but it doesn't work on any - even the ones that say disc 2. So if someone could help me out or give me specific instructions that would be great.
Answer: This only works with the first season. Simply follow the directions in the Easter Egg section of the Viva La Bam page. Unless for some reason the easter egg was removed from your particular copy.
Question: On the third disc, apparently there are some alternate endings hidden in an easter egg. Can anyone tell me how to get to them?
Answer: The are no alternative endings for this film, all that is on the third disk is the movie played in chronologial order so you can see how things really panned out.
Question: Several times near the end of the movie, the German soldiers speak in German without subtitles. Can anyone translate?
Answer: All I could catch was "VORAN,VORAN" which means "Go, go!"
Answer: I added some translations for this to the Trivia page for this movie here on moviemistakes.com a while back. https://www.moviemistakes.com/entry213396.
Question: According to the credits, Suicide Kings is based on a short story by Don Stanford called "The Hostage". Where was this story published, and is it possible to read it?

Question: Can somebody please tell me the joke that Lynn keeps trying to tell.
Answer: The grandmother takes her grandson to the beach and falls asleep, while she is sleeping a huge wave comes in and sweeps the boy out to sea. Grandma wakes up to find the boy gone and begins to pray "Lord, if you bring him back, I will do anything you want." Another huge wave comes in and deposits the boy safe and sound in front of the grandmother and she looks to heaven and says "he had a hat on, you know!"
