Cobra Kai (2018)

Show generally

Question: Silver tells Chozen he's never had any children himself. If that's the case, then how are people calling Snake from part 3 Silver's son?

lartaker1975

Answer: I've seen the 1989 movie many times and never once did Silver ever present Snake as his "son." Snake and Dennis were two young men who simply worked for and/or lived with Silver and only called "the boys" when Mike first arrived.

I never said it was said in the movie. I said people are saying it. Social media. Etc.

lartaker1975

Simple, people don't know anything and assume baseless things for absolutely no reason.

Answer: When the movie came out in '89, it was revealed that the director's son had a part written just for him as the villain's son, and he would be called Snake. This relationship, however, was never addressed in the film itself and Snake just became a member of the house staff for Silver.

Lean on Me (1989)

Question: At the end after Clark tells the Mayor the state can go to Hell, it seems like there was a cut scene. Clark tells the students that he was not going anywhere. They then show scattered cheering before Clark ask the students, "Are you ready, maestro?" without any lead-in. Was there a deleted scene to describe what appears to be this gap?

lartaker1975

Answer: He actually said "are you ready my Ghosts (not Maestro)", but what I wondered is how he was able to just walk away after he was arrested.

Question: In Kobra Kai, Silver tells Chozen he never had children. Then why are people saying Snake was Silver's son especially since it was never established in the movie that he was?

lartaker1975

Answer: When the movie came out in '89, it was revealed by the director John Avildsen that he had cast his real life son Jonathon as Terry Silvers son Snake. Although that connection is not mentioned in the movie, it did help explain why a grown man had a teenage boy living in his house.

Question: At the end of the movie when Dave exits the truck, he holds Debbie from behind and in a romantic way sniffed her hair. Not only did Debbie lean back into him and smile, but Mike looked at them and didn't seem bothered. Is there an interview anywhere where the crew explains why Debbie and Dave seemed like they got back together out of nowhere? Are we supposed to forget the movie started off with Mike and Debbie as a couple?

Continuity mistake: After The Count insults the crowd, they boo him. As they show Jason's mother booing with everyone at her table, the man with the mustache is on her left side. However, all shots before that and all shots after that scene, he is on her right side.

lartaker1975

Continuity mistake: When Jason and The Count duel, the cut on Jason's cheek is already there before The Count cuts him there. By that point, Jason was only cut on the shoulder.

lartaker1975

Other mistake: At the end, when Bill and Ted reunite with their wives, one of them mentioned hearing Ted say something about distributing instruments to everyone throughout all time. However, Ted said this a minute or 2 before they arrived. We even see the phonebooth they are in land after the statement was made. Therefore, there was no way for his wife to hear him say that.

lartaker1975

Plot hole: In part 6, Jason kills numerous people as well as the entire sheriff's department (minus 1) yet investigators just leave his body in the lake and not recover it? Very unlikely.

Sixteen Candles (1984)

Question: What was the purpose of Samantha at the end saying "she fell" before turning back into the church? It's obvious her sister fell, but Samantha acted all surprised over it.

lartaker1975

Answer: She actually said "The VEIL" after remembering her sister tossing it away (when bugged she couldn't see with it on). Sam simply went back in the church to pick it up.

Plot hole: At the end, everyone was returned to their own timeline. Except for Ted's dad. He's shown still playing till the end and not disappearing like the others. However, this version of Ted's dad came from the future when he attempted to arrest his son at David Grohl's house. Therefore, he should have disappeared with the others and returned to his future timeline.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: That's not what happened at the end at all. Only those whose were time-displaced returned to their own timeline. Which is why we see Kid Cudi leave, he was time-displaced and not picked up in the time machine. You can even see Ling Lun is still playing.

Bishop73

Incorrect. Ted's dad was time displaced as well. He never arrived by the time machine, but was sent to hell after being killed by Dennis. Therefore, he should have been sent back to his future timeline.

lartaker1975

Ted's dad was never time-displaced, nor did I say he arrived by time-machine. He was sent to Hell in his own time line and then went with the group to 2020. Unlike Kid Cudi who was time-displaced because he popped out of his own timeline because of time and space collapsing. Just being from a different time isn't what time-displaced meant.

8 Mile (2002)

Question: At the end, during the battle with Lotto, Rabbit tells him to "Pay attention. You're saying the same shit he said" while pointing to Lyckety-Splyt. Lotto's insults were all racist, while Lyckety (whose only racial comment was calling Rabbit a Nazi), focused his insults towards beating Rabbit and insulting his friends. Therefore how was Lotto repeating Lickety's insults?

lartaker1975

Answer: Lyckety made several racial insults in addition to calling Rabbit a Nazi: "You the New Kid on the Block about to get smacked back to the boondocks", "form a squad with Vanilla Ice", "this guy's a hillbilly, this ain't Willie Nelson music", "you'll get dropped so hard that Elvis will start turnin' in his grave", "need to take your white a** back across 8 Mile to the trailer park." Cleverly, all of Lyckety's racial insults refer specifically to white recording artists besides his final insult. Lotto does essentially the same thing, saying generic things about Rabbit's race. This is why Rabbit says "you see how far the white jokes get you" when he battles Lotto.

Baby Driver (2017)

Question: During the heist at the post office, Baby shakes his head at a woman who in turn grabs a cop. When the lady was walking up, she smiled and waved like she knew him. However at the end during her testimony, it seems like she didn't know him after all. If that's the case, why did she smile and wave at him? Did I miss something?

lartaker1975

Answer: The woman works at the Post Office and was the one who served Baby and Sam the day before. He's shaking his head at her because he doesn't want her to go in the building and get hurt/ killed in the heist that's happening at that time. She doesn't know him in a personal way like Joseph or Debora.

Tik-Tok Of Oz

Plot hole: In the 8th Wizard Of Oz book titled Tik-Tok Of Oz, the group runs into Polychrome, the rainbow's daughter. Polychrome and Shaggy Man first met up in book #5 titled The Road To Oz. However in this book, Shaggy Man and Polychrome act as if it is the 1st time they ever met each other. They make no mention of them meeting before in the prior book.

Stargate SG-1 (1997)

Pretense - S3-E15

Question: Either it was explained in this episode and I missed it or maybe it was explained in a later episode and I haven't seen it yet, but I have always been curious. If the Asgard were able to remove the Goa'uld from Skaara, then why couldn't they do the same with Teal'c?

lartaker1975

Chosen answer: Skaara has a Goa'uld in his head controlling him. Removing it returns him to a normal human being. Teal'c has a Goa'uld in a sac in his stomach. The Goa'uld in Teal'c acts as his immune system and helps him to have a very long life span. Removing it would kill him.

Plot hole: When Rachael/Ruby is attacked by Pluto in the rafters, Cass, being blind, is able to hear her cry out. When she does, Cass calls out to her by saying "Ruby." However it was a couple scenes later when Rachael tells everyone that she is really Ruby. Cass is surprised to hear this. Therefore, not knowing that Rachael was really Ruby, she should have called out "Rachael" instead of "Ruby" when she was attacked because she didn't know the truth by then.

Trivia: If you listen to the music throughout the movie, you will notice it is the same music and theme that was used in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter.

It (1990)

Question: What is the deal with everyone saying "beep beep" to Ritchie every time he tells a joke?

lartaker1975

Chosen answer: It's their way of telling Richie to be quiet. To get him to stop talking.

Answer: In the book it is explained that they are telling Richie to shut up.

Phantasm: Ravager (2016)

Question: I am confused as to what really happened. Was the entire series of movies a fantasy of Reggie's like Mike said it was? Was the planet taken over by the Tall Man like the other reality showed? Or are we left to our own imagination on which reality was real and which was not?

lartaker1975

Chosen answer: This film is infamous for its confusing to follow narrative, owed to the fact it was originally intended as a series of shorts rather than a linear structure. As it stands it is up to the viewer to decide, however the post credits scene seems to suggest one world is real as Reggie plays no part in the scene.

BaconIsMyBFF

Plot hole: In chapter 19, while talking about Leah Rose, it is stated "She and Rayford had spotted the seal of the believer. Otherwise she might have never given him the time of day." Fact is, when she is introduced in the series, it is Buck whom she meets and they notice the mark of the believer on each other's forehead. When she meets Rayford much later, they both already know each are believers.
