Corrected entry: If CLU's plan was to lure Sam into the Grid to draw out Kevin, then why did he try to kill Sam in the light cycle arena? Sam would have been much more valuable to him alive. Even worse, Sam was almost killed by Rinzler because nobody knew at the time that Sam was a User. Shouldn't CLU have been monitoring the portal for Sam's entry? If CLU's plan was merely to get Sam to open the portal, and the movie stated that the portal could only remain open for a limited time, then wouldn't it have been better to obtain Kevin's disc first?

Corrected entry: The Programs on the Grid have developed all sorts of new weaponry such as swords and fighting staffs, so why do they still use the Identity Disc as a throwing weapon? Loss of the disc results in "immediate de-resolution", so it makes no sense the Programs would want to toss them around.
Correction: CLU and his henchman have set up the games. The prisoners have no choice but to play the games by their rules. Thus some game rules require them to use their discs whether they'd want to or not.

Correction: Two plausible reasons why he wanted to kill Sam. 1) Even if he killed Sam, Flynn would eventually hear about it and go after CLU, which is what CLU wanted. It would give Flynn a reason to come out of hiding. 2) CLU has a very strong emotional hatred towards Flynn (as evident when he discovers Flynn's hideout). So he may have originally planned to keep Sam as a prisoner, but his hatred overcame him and he decided he wanted to kill Sam instead, to punish Flynn.
