Continuity mistake: Popeye goes to Bluto's ship. He finds his pappy there: he's tied to the chair hanging in the ceiling. Popeye gets excited, and notice that before he hugs his pappy he takes his pipe out of his mouth. When we see Popeye again, the pipe is back to his mouth. Too fast to be real.

Popeye (1980)
Directed by: Robert Altman
Starring: Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, Ray Walston, Paul Dooley
Revealing mistake: During the fight, Popeye ducks Oxheart's swings. If you watch carefully, it appears to be the same swing repeated multiple times from different angles.
Trivia: The voice for the animated Popeye was done by Jack Mercer who provided the voice for the Popeye the Sailor cartoons.
Trivia: Robin Williams had to re-dub most of his dialogue after the producers discovered his muttered Popeye voice was inaudible after filming was complete.
Trivia: Although they play mother and daughter in this film, Roberta Maxwell (born in 1942) is only seven years older than Shelley Duvall (born in 1949).
The Tax Man: One sunflower, embarrassing the Tax Man tax.
Popeye: Another thing I got is a sensk of humiligration. Now, maybe you swabs can pool your intelligensk and sees that I'm axking you for an apologeky.
Geezil: Fooey! The Commadore. Besides Wimpy, I hate him best.





Answer: One, Bluto is a bully and threatened him, after all his name is Wimpy. Plus he most likely offered to buy him a hamburger, which he would have paid next Tuesday.
