Stupidity: After eating the bird, why didn't Becky send her phone down inside the bird, but instead climbed down to put her phone inside Hunter's body?
Fall (2022)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Scott Mann
Starring: Virginia Gardner, Grace Caroline Currey, Mason Gooding
Genres: Thriller
Continuity mistake: After Becky charges the drone she climbs down without refitting the glass cover. Later a buzzard lands on the top of the tower, on the red cover.
Becky: Fuck off.
James Conner: Don't talk to me that way. Your mother and I raised you better than that.
Trivia: Profanity Warning: The original cut of the film contained over 30 uses of the word "fuck." When the film was picked up for theatrical distribution, the studio wanted to redub the film's profanity to make it PG-13. The studio had the actors redub their lines with less harsh language, and then used A.I.-based software (similar to "deepfakes") to digitally manipulate their mouths to match the new dialogue.
Question: There is a running theory that Becky actually did not survive, and that her father was imagining reuniting with her was actually his brain reacting to him seeing her body, whether or not first responders were on scene. So, if Becky actually was rescued, how could the helicopter have gotten close enough to reach her without the satellite collapsing due to the helicopter's downwash or the propellers hitting the tower itself?

Answer: There's no indication that the ending is anything but real; the other twist in the film is heavily foreshadowed through dialogue, camera framing, and so on, none of which applies to the ending. A helicopter could have hovered above the tower and lowered a rescue basket/rope to Becky, as she's less than 100 feet from the very top. Given that the tower was probably constructed using a helicopter to position the final pieces of the structure (a common practice for communications towers of this height), there's no reason why it couldn't have held up. The tower itself is never shown to be weakened or compromised, only the ladder affixed to the outside.
