Plot hole: Foster served in the military and even received a Purple Heart as indicated by the plaque in his mother's home. Yet he needs a kid to explain to him how to handle an M72 rocket launcher. A weapon introduced in the 60s and thus well within his time at the military.

Suggested correction: Not everyone in the military knows how to use this particular type of weapon. In fact, probably most don't.

Continuity mistake: When D-Fens' wife realises that D-Fens is just down the road, calling her, she locks the white gate in front of her house. She then walks back into the house. But when D-Fens comes running after her, the gate is wide open. (01:28:45 - 01:30:05)

Question: Why does the Beggar throw the apple at D-fens? I found it odd since he just gave him a briefcase and a lunch.

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: Because the beggar thought there would be items of value in the briefcase and he was frustrated that there was nothing in there. So in frustration he threw the apple at D-Fens.
