Question: From what I can tell Jason went to the American embassy in Zurich, couldn't be bothered waiting in a queue, went through a door and got shouted at to stop, then ran up some stairs and climbed down the wall and escaped. What was his original purpose for going to the embassy?

Answer: The reason he didn't have to wait in "the queue" is on the sign he passes as he enters. He enters the American Citizen door because no one is in line. His passport was a "fastpass" into the embassy to avoid the police. The reason police were looking for him was because of what happened at the park. Police were looking for him. The guy at the bank called the CIA. So... the original purpose of entering the embassy was to avoid the Switzerland police. The shouting was to detain him, probably to question him about the park.
Answer: A man in the bank had called the police.

General questions
I'm looking for a movie from the 80's, possibly early 90's. There are two guys and one of them seems insane or delusional talking about aliens. The second guy doesn't believe him, but starts to wonder. The "delusional" guy sees an alien news story on the cover of a tabloid in a gas station store and he believes its true. Near the end, he pulls out a pen that transforms and flies around like a helicopter. Any ideas?
Answer: "Real Men" starring John Ritter and Jim Belushi. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093828/).

General questions
Looking for a movie title of around mid 80's, whereby the character has problems with seeing certain colours and if he physically see's red he would run superhumanly fast. If he saw yellow, something else would happen that I can't seem to recall. He was given a special pair of glasses that allowed him to control his powers. There is one scene where he chases a motorbike on a freeway. There is another scene where he avoids looking at a fire. The rolling credits end with him on top of a large building looking down on the city. Can anyone help?
Answer: Sounds like "Super Fuzz." (http://imdb.com/title/tt0082924/)

Spider-Man (2002)
Question: Wasn't it suspicious that right after a wrestler in red and blue tights appears in a wrestling match with the name 'Spider-Man', that a superhero in red and blue tights appears in new york with the name 'Spider-Man'?
Answer: The guy who was wrestling decided to go into superheroing. Not suspicious at all. Peter never signed a contract or told anyone his name, so the 3 or 4 people who saw him without a mask would just remember "some kid."
Also don't forget one of these witnesses died. After him you only have the cop and the robbed guy who knew his face. Old people forget kinda quickly.

Question: While at the New Year party near the end, Mace tells Lenny that his clip of the Jerico One murder is the only one, and that there are no copies. Yet when Faith was explaining the situation earlier, we see Philo setting fire to a clip with the same content. Did I miss something?
Answer: Iris had gone to Tick to get a copy made before going back to Philo. Philo burned the master, so the copy she gave to Lenny was the only one left.
Answer: To avoid the local police. They were following him and he had an American passport, so it was the quickest way to escape.
