Sheena mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Sheena goes barefoot most of the movie but near the end when she's riding a zebra she's wearing a pair of sandals which disappear a few minutes later.

The Initiation (1984)

Plot hole: When the riot and escape happen they never reveal how the girl's real father escaped, he wasn't an inmate of the asylum, merely a trustee from the nearby prison so at night he'd have been in his cell.

The Initiation (1984)

Plot hole: Kelly's twin sister, Terry, must be quick. She's inside the mall though it's never shown how she got in, didn't sneak in behind them or kill someone to gain access. She just shows up.

Rob245

Trivia: Teri Weigel and Rebecca Ferratti star in this movie, the first movie since HOTS to feature both a Playboy centerfold and a Playmate. Terri would go on to bigger fame as an adult film star.

Revealing mistake: When one character's killed, stomach sliced open, you can see the wire yanking open the prop stomach to the left of the camera.

Chicago P.D. (2014)

Answer: Because he is a great cop and gets the job done better than anyone.

Answer: Also, if you watch Season 1 of Chicago Fire it gives a little history of Voight before he goes to jail when he was actually a "dirty cop" and Antonio Dawson is actually the one who takes him down. I found it interesting and was surprised by his character back then.

Answer: And cuz he's only dirty to the bad guys. He takes care of the victims.

Below the Belt (1980)

Audio problem: Terrible Tommy and Rose exchange words just as their match begins but neither one's mouth opens.

Dallas (1978)

Answer: In real life, that might happen, but this is a fictional TV show that revolves around the characters and the dynamic interaction between them. Getting rid of JR, a main character that much of the story line revolves around, would make the show far less interesting, less melodramatic, and less intriguing. It's just an entertaining, over-the-top exaggerated soap opera.

The Initiation (1984)

Stupidity: It seems idiotic that only mesh gates hold the inmates of the asylum back when indoors, surely they'd use steel or have them shut in with concrete and electronic key pads.

Question: Why is Del even homeless? I know he's a widower but that alone couldn't explain why he's homeless unless it's supposed to be some sort of cryptic answer like he couldn't live in his house without his wife.

Rob245

Answer: He's not homeless, he has a house or an apartment somewhere, or lives out of hotels. He just no longer has a 'home', ie, a place where he's happy and someone loves him.

Graduation Day (1981)

Other mistake: When the killer and the girl's body fall out of the window she's barefoot. Given she'd been dug up she should've been wearing shoes.

Graduation Day (1981)

Continuity mistake: The actress playing Dolores is suddenly played by scream queen Linnea Quigley. The original was recast due to the actress having problems with the nudity, and shots of her were cut out as much as possible.

Question: Why did Joan Collins character let herself get beaten up by her ex husband's second wife? She surely could've used this to get her arrested for assault.

Rob245

Answer: Alexis instigated the fights, by lying cheating and mouthing off. Plus the publicity of an arrest or trial was no doubt unappealing.

Ready Player One (2018)

Question: Why shut down their game system for only two days out of the week? Why not let it be on for only the weekends as they fix the world?

Rob245

Answer: Why not shut off TV or the internet so we can can concentrate on real world problems in our own universe? The game system is pretty much the only source of entertainment and joy for most of the world's population, and the kids don't want to take it away.

Brian Katcher

Answer: Not to mention that kids use the OASIS to go to school.

Carrie (1976)

Question: Why do Chris and her friends bully Carrie? She's never done anything to them and I've read the book which also provides no answers.

Rob245

Answer: Bullying doesn't have anything to do with whether or not someone did anything to someone else. Bullies zero in on people they know are emotionally weaker and less able to defend themselves. Carrie was extremely shy, awkward, naive, etc. These are traits that bullies tend to exploit for their own amusement and to make themselves feel superior.

Three's Company (1977)

Answer: She was worried that Jack would come to regret his decision. She thought at some point in the future he would marry and want to have children.

LK

Answer: There could be any number of reasons. Some people believe any form of birth control (even for men) is wrong. Janet might (erroneously) think Jack is being selfish and immature by avoiding fatherhood, and so on.

Question: Luke lost his lightsaber in Cloud City, how has it been retrieved?

Rob245

Answer: It has not yet been answered in a canon source. The novel series that continued the stories after Return of the Jedi had Luke's lightsaber being found along with his severed hand which was then used to make a clone. The new movie series has made those stories no longer canon. It is possible Rise of Skywalker will answer this question.

BaconIsMyBFF

Answer: In "Return Of The Jedi", after Luke turns himself over to Darth Vader, he is handed Luke's lightsaber to which Vader says, "I see you've constructed a new light saber." This would mean that after Luke lost his first lightsaber at Cloud City, he made himself another one.

Luke did make a new lightsaber after losing the first one, but he was the sole owner of it. In The Force Awakens, when Rey finds the lightsaber in the dungeon, Maz Kanata tells her that it once belonged to Luke Skywalker, and before him, it was his father's (Darth Vader). This would mean it is the same one that Luke lost when Vader sliced off his hand that was holding the lightsaber during their duel in Cloud City (The Empire Strikes Back). Somehow, that lightsaber was found on the planet's surface and made its way into Maz's possession. It now belongs to Rey.

raywest

Answer: When asked about how she came into possession of Luke's old lightsaber, which once belonged to Anakin Skywalker, Maz Kanata says that it's a tale for another time. Presumably it will be explained in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

raywest

It is not.
