Question: Does the FBI officer sat in the front passenger seat of the prison truck survive when he jumps out of it as it's being lifted in the air? The shooter, who is stood on the roof of the FBI prison van, fatally shoots the driver through the top, and the front passenger jumps out and has a short fall onto the car roof below. Some resources are saying he dies on impact and counts as the body count, but others say that he survives.

Question: In the extended deleted scene in the Brody house, Martin is ordering Michael to take the boat out of the water by tomorrow night, and the extended scene shows Michael walking into his room in a huff and then blasting some classical music out loud, which Ellen tells him to turn down. Then they chat. Does anyone know what the music is that Michael plays? Thank you.
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?
Question: Was the whole reason for the AC130 strafing the White House rooftop to eliminate all the Secret Service snipers that could potentially stop the attack?
Answer: Yep. And to massacre as many innocent collateral damage/victims as humanly possible. The more carnage, the better.
Question: What is the deal with Emma's underwear? We see her wearing shorts when she goes swimming, but other times her underwear goes over her knees.

Question: Dr. Gill Gilliam freaks out when checking Mr. Krabs' health chart. What did he see that hinted to him that Krabs wouldn't be okay?
Question: Why does the Prince stick around the Queen if he doesn't like her? And why does he come to her Kingdom in the first place?
Answer: He's travelling to start trade agreements with the neighbouring kingdoms. He doesn't hate her; in fact, he doesn't know that she's evil. Even after Snow White informs him, he gives her the benefit of the doubt. Snow says she's evil, but he hasn't seen her do anything wrong.
Question: How does Emma manage to get out of the ocean with her lead shoes on? She couldn't have swum all the way to the shore.
Question: Why doesn't Millard just sneak past the wights in the Blackpool Tower and free the Ymbrynes from the cellar himself? Also, why doesn't he do more during the final battle?
Question: How did Abe know at the end that the peculiar children were still in Blackpool and hadn't left on their ship yet?
Question: Why couldn't Miss Peregrine create a loop sooner? Surely there were safer days before the bomb hit her house.
Question: What breed and colour was Henry Fonda's horse in the movie? It was beautiful.
Question: How many men on Dark Shadows wore toupees, and what drink did Quentin slug down constantly?
Question: Would pouring whiskey into the tank have really thinned down the mix, giving the submarine more speed?
Answer: Adding alcohol to gasoline can lower the fuel's viscosity, thinning it to flow more easily. It can only marginally increase an engine's speed and power.
But the question was, would it have actually increased the sub's speed?
Thinning the fuel mix would not increase energy or performance, so it would not make the submarine faster.
Technically, yes, diesel with alcohol burns better. As for what happened in the movie: no. Whiskey is not alcohol; it's water with alcohol, and the water reduces the flammability a lot. Also, a sub has fuel tanks that hold tens of thousands of gallons; adding a few ounces of whiskey will not have any effect at all.
Question: When Gunnery Sergeant Hartman first addresses the recruits, why does Joker start making jokes? Does he think Hartman is trying to be funny? Doesn't Joker realise that Hartman is serious?
Answer: Joker, a fresh recruit, is being a somewhat rebellious smart-ass and not taking things very seriously. He certainly does not think Hartman is trying to be funny but is mocking him for acting like an over-the-top, gung-ho John Wayne movie character.
Answer: There are non-magnetic scalpels, made of titanium, used for emergent situations in MRI rooms.
