Factual error: At the end of the film, when Duchovny and Jones are on the ladder truck shooting the head and shoulders, they are yelling "go go go". They slide down the ladder and the next shot is the fire truck speeding away. Movie elapsed time 5 seconds. It is a physical impossibility for a fully extended ladder to be lowered, retracted and bedded in a span of less than 4-7 minutes. Even if the hydraulic lines are cut, the ladder would remain upright and not collapse/retract. (01:32:59)
Evolution (2001)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Ivan Reitman
Starring: Julianne Moore, Dan Aykroyd, Seann William Scott, David Duchovny, Orlando Jones
The alien organisms become acclimatised to Earth's atmosphere and are spreading throughout the town. They are evolving rapidly to become smarter primates. It is revealed that fire is a catalyst for the growth of the alien organisms, and the Army is planning to use napalm against them which would be disastrous. Ira (David Duchovny) suddenly makes the brillant assumption that the aliens are weak against Selenium, and collects large amounts of Head & Shoulder's shampoo which contains Selenium. The Army bombs the aliens and suddenly, a large blob-like organism comes out of the cave which all the aliens originated from and crushes the Army. The heroes drive close to the Blob and pump in large amounts of shampoo. The Blob explodes. Everyone is happy.
