Waterworld (1995)
Question: Why didn't the Mariners' boat sink? At the start of the film, he tells the drifter that the hull is busted and the hole's so big there's room to breathe. Later on, after the atoll, he states to Helen that his boat is tore up and it's taking on water. Not once do we see him pumping water out of the boat, nor do we see any water inside the boat until after the smokers burn it.
Answer: 1. He's lying to the drifter so he doesn't have to explain how he was down there so long. 2. He certainly had time to fix it between the escape from the atoll and the Smoker attack.
To fix his boat after escaping from the Atoll attack, Mariner said he needed resin.

Flight of the Navigator (1986)
Question: After David got in the ship, he spent the majority of his time trying to find his way back to his family. Why at the end, when he arrives at the house, does he get back in the ship and leave after he spent ages looking for them?
Answer: Because he realised that he is never going to fit in here in the future. As well, there's a good chance he wouldn't see them again because the government would keep him prisoner.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Question: In the bar scene where the German officer has 2 guns pointed at his testicles, why does he insist on not letting the British go? The semi-answer he gives that they are outnumbered is irrelevant because they still would have no choice but to kill him. Practically speaking, it's suicide.
Answer: It is suicide, just like running into battle when there are hundreds of guns pointed at you. He has just caught a British spy, who potentially could be doing terrible things to his country. Sacrificing himself to save Germany isn't a bad trade for him.
Answer: He knows they are going to kill him anyway. The "basterds" have that reputation, and he knows who he's dealing with. So, he can either betray his honour and tell them the information and die anyway, or retain his honour to not betray his own people or nation/military and die with what would be perceived as dignity for him.
You're referencing a different scene when the Basterds are questioning the German officer after ambushing his squad. The question is about the scene in the bar between Hicox and Hellström and the ensuing gunfight.

Mission: Impossible (1996)
Question: What I have never understood is why Jim wires the money to Ethan's parents' bank account. He would have presumably had to have done that some time before the mission took place, at a time when Jim didn't know it was a mole hunt. What would have been his reason for setting Ethan up well in advance of the Prague mission?
Answer: Jim had been setting up Ethan the entire time. He knew that there was always a possibility of his actions being discovered, and he wanted Ethan as a fall guy.

General questions
Does anyone recognize this? 80s or 90s horror movie in which one character is a "nerdy" teenage boy. Despite being bullied by a group of stereotypical "mean popular kids," he ends up lying down or throwing himself on top of an explosive device in order to save them. I think they were standing some distance away, so they don't even see him deciding to make the sacrifice.
Answer: There is a scene like that in Child's Play 3.
This might have been it. Thanks.
Answer: Massacre at Central High. 1976. After being bullied and nearly crippled by the "cool" kids, a nerdy guy gets revenge on them. At the end, he sets a bomb to blow up the prom in the school gym. When the girl he loves discovers this and refuses to leave, he grabs the bomb and runs with it. When he reaches the outside, it explodes. Everyone ignores it.

Curly Sue (1991)
Question: Why did Bill say he wasn't Curly Sue's dad if he slept with her mum?
Answer: He said so himself, "Some get VD from a one-night stand, I got a kid." In a movie, Cinderella Liberty, James Caan got involved with a woman, Marsha Mason, who had a 12-year-old son and a baby on the way.
Answer: Just because they slept together doesn't mean he's the father. She was likely already born by the time he met her mother.

Brewster's Millions (1985)
Question: Things are vastly different these days, obviously, but back when this movie was made, would a bank really have $30 mn in their vault like that and let him take $3 mn with him, or is this just for the movie?
Answer: A bank would never have that much money on hand. Not only would it be poor asset management to keep millions in cash on hand instead of in some sort of investment, it would be a safety hazard as well. Even in modern day, most banks would have less than $50,000 in cash on hand.

General questions
There's an animated movie I used to watch as a kid, but I can't remember what it was called or exactly what it's about. I think I used to have it on VHS. The only thing I really remember about it is there was a frog who was a James Bond-like secret agent, and they called him FR07 instead of 007. And he was French. I've been racking my brain trying to remember what the movie was called, and I don't know how old it is. I just know I watched it as a kid. Anybody know?
Answer: It was the 1992 film "Freddie as F.R.O.7."

This is a fantasy movie that I think was made recently, in the 2020s. A young woman marries a prince from a much wealthier family. It turns out that his family always sacrifices their sons' first brides to a dragon or some other monster. This prince seems to actually like the young woman and is glad when she escapes the monster.
Answer: The film is 2024's "Damsel," starring Millie Bobby Brown.
Thank you.

Disclosure (1994)
Question: If Meredith was initiating the sexual encounter mainly for the purpose of setting Tom up to be fired and set up for her incompetence, why does she become so angry and threatening when she is rejected by him, as she is already intending to get rid of him? Especially considering that she's even more volatile and aggressive in this scene in the novel?
Answer: She considers Tom's refusal to have sex with her an insult to herself, in addition to messing up her plans.

House, M.D. (2004)
Question: I'm not an expert, but in this episode, when the patient has an allergic reaction inside the MRI machine, they pull her out and start operating on her throat with a metal scalpel kept right in front of the MRI machine, along with other metal objects which I assume are ferrous. Surely this would never happen?
Answer: There are non-magnetic scalpels, made of titanium, used for emergent situations in MRI rooms.

Beetlejuice (1988)
Question: During the dinner party, Bernard's wife compliments the Deetzes on what they've done with the house. Then Otho tells Beryl (beside him) that he hopes it wasn't one of her attempts at ending her life. I don't understand - is he changing subjects or does this have something to do with the new house?
Answer: Otho was having a separate conversation with her, of which part was cut from the film. The shooting script has a part where he asks her why she was in the hospital recently, since the reason she gave was a lie.

Bad Boys (1983)
Question: When the radio Viking holds explodes, what besides the loud noise and some smoke injured Viking the way it did? He had blood on his face after a few seconds and was yelling while lying down. What exactly was the background to this explosion and how did this severely injure Viking?
Answer: Horowitz rigged the boom box to short out electrically and explode. Viking likely was cut up by chunks of shrapnel coming off the front. The effects aren't great.

Clue (1985)
Question: Throughout the movie, we hear Wadsworth saying that the police are coming/have been called. Then, in one of the endings (I think it's the last one), Wadsworth says, "Why should the police come? Nobody's called them." And Mrs. Peacock says, "Oh my God, of course!" What does this mean?
Answer: She realised that no-one had called the police and that they wouldn't show up to an unreported crime.
Answer: It means since he was the mastermind, she realised that he had been lying about calling the police.

The Patriot (2000)
Question: Why don't Anne and her parents stay at the Gullah camp with the rest of Martin's family? Yes, Tavington and the British don't know that she has married into his family, but wouldn't staying there be the best bet for their safety?
Answer: Presumably, Mr Howard has a business or plantation to run. As well, it would be suspicious for all of them to disappear like that. It could also leave their house open to looting.

General questions
How come in many animated TV series, during the end credits, the individual voice actors aren't credited with the character (s) they voiced? Movies do, even if one person voices multiple characters. For example, Dan Castellaneta is credited in "The Simpsons", but not as "Homer." But in "The Simpsons Movie" they show all the characters he voiced. And how did viewers know who voiced whom before sites like IMDb were around? Or how did people creating and editing IMDb find the information?
Answer: Because most voice actors voice a very wide variety of characters, Hank Azaria voices 18 recurring characters and Harry Shearer 15. This is in addition to whatever minor or one-shot characters they may be voicing. It would make the credits either too long or too cluttered on the screen.

Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)
Question: Why are the deceased bad guys including Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and Kai in the Spirit Realm with the good warriors? Shouldn't the good and the bad be in separate realms like Heaven and Hell?
Answer: There isn't necessarily a separate heaven and hell for kung fu masters. There's just the Spirit Realm.
Answer: It's "I Want What I Want" by Lauren Christy.
