Question: How did English Spider-Man (the rebel one with the guitar) get back to his own dimension after leaving his watch thing for Gwen in her dimension?
Answer: Hobie or Spider-Punk gave Gwen's father a watch he'd built himself. It's fairly safe to assume he built more than one.
Love Me, Love My Skipper - S2-E20
Question: I never understood the "Monkey Wrench" part of this episode. Skipper deliberately puts a monkey wrench in his pocket, then asks Gilligan if he has seen it. In a different scene, Gilligan sees the wrench in Skipper's pocket and tells him he notices he found it. I never understand the relevance of this whole part in relation to the actual storyline (Skipper thinking he was not invited to the Howells' cotillion). What was the idea here?
Answer: He hid the monkey wrench and acted like he misplaced it, as an excuse to visit the other people on the island to see if they got an invitation to the party too.
Question: Columbia Records soundtrack album mentions an alternate ending for this movie - Cary Grant is carrying Deborah Kerr over the threshold of the French villa they visited earlier. It is unknown if she can walk, but it is a more hopeful ending. Was this scene ever filmed?
Question: Was Veronica the interrogator only pretending to be a fellow Muslim in order to get Katherine to talk, to make her feel more at ease communicating with her?
Don't Get Mad, Get Even - S2-E21
Question: Where did they get the additional $15,000 (total $30,000) to cheat Wainwright? They borrowed $15,000 from Silky but lost $15,000 in the stage holdup.
Question: The daughter already found out about her cochlear implant giving off a frequency that scared the aliens away, so why did she not turn it on when they were in the truck? If she had, Lee would not have had to sacrifice himself.
Question: When Ripley and Newt are trapped in the Med Lab with face huggers (thanks to Burke), Ripley wakes Newt and tells her they are in trouble (which they are). But how does Ripley know this? She hasn't seen the face huggers at this point.
Answer: The two face-huggers were being kept in glass containers. When Ripley woke up, she saw that the jars had been tipped over, were empty, and the creatures were loose; Burke had released them, took her weapon, and locked the doors, while she was sleeping. He also turned off the CCTV monitors.
Question: Mel Gibson used what looked like an AK-47 to shoot Jet Li. Is a rifle like that watertight and able to fire underwater?
Answer: It can be fired underwater, yes, although its effective range is tiny since the water instantly slows the bullet down. It'd definitely be able to kill Jet Li as demonstrated though, since it's pushed right up against him, thus the bullets would have very little resistance from the water. Although I don't know if it'd get quite as many shots off before jamming up. There are plenty of videos of people firing them underwater, but they always only fire a single round, presumably for safety reasons. Either way, the scene is more or less realistic.
Answer: The AK47 is known for its simplicity and durability, with a design that is easy to use, maintain, and repair, even in harsh conditions. It can function in extreme temperatures, dusty and sandy environments, and even when it is dirty or partially submerged in water."How far can an AK-47 shoot underwater? - Not very far. Besides having to push water out of the barrel, bullets don't go very far through water even when the bullet exits the barrel at full muzzle velocity. Bullets hitting the water travel about 3-feet before stopping."
Question: Were there any hints that CJ was the spy before he reveals himself to Brian O'Conner at the end of the episode?
Answer: No, nothing foreshadowed his true colours.
Question: After being found not guilty, why would Joe whisper to Randall that he would kill more kids?
Answer: Joe was taunting him because Randall was a do-gooder who thought that he could change the world for the better but just made things worse.
Question: When watching Tony on the news, what did Anton mean when he said it should have been Ivan?
Answer: Howard Stark and Anton Vanko together developed the arc reactor technology that made Stark Industries so big and wealthy, and indirectly responsible for the Iron Man suit. But Anton got discredited, so his son Ivan didn't get the opportunities like Tony did, by not inheriting any of the wealth and recognition.
Question: Why did Mrs. Incredible look at herself in the mirror? I never did understand that.
Answer: She sees her reflection and notices her thighs and rear-end look a little big, before letting out a slightly disappointed sigh. It's there to indicate that she has minor body-insecurity issues, much as Bob did earlier in the film. She hasn't been a super in a while and has had kids in the meantime, so she's put on a little weight... it's a nice moment to remind us that despite being a superhero on the surface, she's also a normal person with normal worries deep down inside.
Answer: She was noticing her larger hips/butt thanks to the skin-tight super suit. As with a lot of people, she gained weight as she got older, and she was no longer a superhero, so she didn't get the exercise she had in her youth.
Question: Why were the Proffitt boys all in the same class even though they're different ages?
Question: Why did Catherine Zeta-Jones and Julia Roberts hate each other during the filming?
Answer: Sometimes actresses just do not get on. Being that they were both from different backgrounds. For more examples of this you just have to look at Charmed and Desperate Housewives.
Question: Why does Alice team up with Carlos after he points a gun at her in the school?
Answer: The movie quite literally explains it. They've both been contacted by the same person with the same offer, so even though their initial meeting is tense, they quickly team up. As the phrase goes... strength in numbers. It's easier to complete a difficult task with more allies.

Answer: It's never definitively explained, but Eeyore apparently suffers from depression, is sad about his tail, and generally always feels unhappy. Actually, he is just one character that displays a certain emotional type. Tigger is hyperactive and attention deficit, Rabbit is obsessive-compulsive, Owl is narcissistic, Piglet suffers from anxiety, and Pooh has an eating disorder.
