Questions about specific movies, TV shows and more
These are questions relating to specific titles. General questions for movies and TV shows are here. Members get e-mailed when any of their questions are answered.
Question: Is this true that David Thewlis initially wanted to play professor Quirrell in this film before being cast as Lupin in the later movies?
Question: Why did Knuckles say "wait, that wasn't the deal" after noticing Robotnik trying to steal the master emerald?
Answer: Because Robotnik was betraying him. Dr. Robotnik promised to help Knuckles get the Master Emerald, so they could use it to defeat Sonic. But Robotnik was using him all along because he wanted the Master Emerald for himself... he never actually cared about Knuckles and never intended to help him get the Emerald. Thus, Knuckles is shocked and says that Robotnik taking the Emerald for himself was not part of their deal.
Question: Why didn't Mid Size Sedan age sooner since he was there longer than the others?
Answer: I submitted this answer previously, but it was deleted for maybe appearing to be inappropriate. The reason for his slower aging is addressed in the film when he says "Black don't crack." Black people tend to age better than other people in real life, due to having a higher production of melanin and other factors.
Answer: Guests with medical conditions were given drugs in their drinks, and so they didn't age as fast as the others did.
The drugs had nothing to do with aging. The whole point was that they aged fast.
Question: Why does Obi-Wan want to watch over Luke, but nobody needs to watch Leia?
Answer: Leia was placed into the care of a very wealthy family, and would be given protection 24/7. Luke, on the other hand, was placed into the care of a very secluded home and a poor family, with almost little to no protection from outside dangers. Luke would have been more at risk if the Empire found out who he was.
Answer: Incidentally, this question is kind of being addressed in the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
Question: What song is everyone whistling while they're carrying the giant egg?
Answer: The music playing while they are carrying the giant egg is from, "The Bridge on the River Kwai." It's a classic World War II movie, soldiers marching into a Japanese prison camp are whistling that tune.
Answer: The song being played is "Colonel Bogey March", which has the whistling in it. No one carrying the egg were whistling themselves though. Although in one shot I did see a character breathing out (something people do when lifting or carrying heavy things) which might look like he's whistling.
Question: What number does Sarah Connor have on her door/apartment?
Answer: When Kyle looked in the telephone book for her address, it was 309. The Terminator also found Sarah J. Connor listed as 309 Calder. When she comes out of her apartment, 225 is on the door.
Question: What were the Count and the bus driver arguing about?
Question: How much money was in the cases the bad guys lost?
Answer: It totalled more than $100 million.
Uh, wouldn't a stack of $100 million in cash be too big to fit in a case?
The money was in 3 cases.
This, plus it's also worth noting that they were $1,000 bills, which would greatly cut down on the size.
Answer: Yes, it was a goof that no-one caught (according to Alex Borstein). And this mistake has already been listed.
Question: Where was Jackson when Shelby was dying?
Answer: He was at the hospital, often by her bedside. He signs the permission form to remove Shelby from life support. Later, at the cemetery, M'Lynn says she was the only one in the family able to remain in the room as Shelby passed. Jackson, Drum, and Shelby's two brothers were too emotionally devastated to stay and went to the waiting area. As in the entire movie, there was more focus on M'Lynn and Shelby's relationship and a mother's reaction to losing her daughter.
Thank you. I watched it again and saw that. I don't know how I missed it.

Question: When Korben first drops of Leeloo at the Priest's apartment, he is wearing a tank top. At the seam of his shoulder running vertically is a scar. The year before, Die Hard with a Vengeance premiered and McClane was injured in that same spot. Seemed like a strange bit to add to T5E. Did anyone recall any backstory or explanation for that scar? Other than his general only survivor of his unit (don't tell Fingers, that deserter!) description.
Answer: Bruce Willis has had that scar since he was 17, as a result of surgery after a broken arm.
