Questions about specific movies, TV shows and more

These are questions relating to specific titles. General questions for movies and TV shows are here. Members get e-mailed when any of their questions are answered.

Question: Can a cabin on a truck really do a wheelie like the one in this movie does? And if so how is it possible? For years I've wondered if this is a real world thing that can be done or it's just made possible in the movie. Is it just a 'Bond' thing?

Answer: According to Wikipedia, the stunt driver (Rémy Julienne), was able to perform the trick with no modifications or rigging. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licence_to_Kill#Filming).

So it's a specialised thing that anyone can do if they know HOW to do it?

I have seen online that the rig received extra suspension on its back so it could lift its front wheels.

Question: Were Aiden's 7 days not up at the end or something and is that why he didn't die? I know that's why they were making a copy for him to give to someone else but I thought his 7 days would be up by now.

Answer: He still had several days left. Rachel was nearing the end of her seven days when he watched the tape, and she realises she needed to make a copy the morning after her seventh day, and in all likelihood, she had Aiden make a copy on the same day.

Phaneron

Question: Apparently former VFL/AFL star Warwick Capper has a cameo appearance in this movie. Wondering where he is? Is he the zombie looking dude around 20:30-20:40 minute mark?

oobs

Answer: Yes, that's him.

Question: When Tiana and Naveen get married in the Bayou they become human and appear in a church. What I want to know is did they physically leave the Bayou (e.g exit by boat ride), then arrange wedding plans, or did they literally magically appear in the church and everyone magically appeared at the wedding?

Answer: They physically left. Just because we didn't see it happen doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's a montage of their activities after they returned to human form.

LorgSkyegon

I thought as much, but it would have been even better to see a montage of them physically leaving the bayou and planning their church wedding.

Love Boat - S1-E16

Question: After Sly jumps onto the lifeboat and they are in the water, wouldn't a propeller from a boat moving forward push water and objects away from the prop? Instead they are getting sucked under. (00:33:20)

Answer: A propeller sucks in from one side and pushes away from the other side.

Question: Mike Webster dies in the beginning of the movie. At the end, during the speech of Dr. Omsluit, I see him in the audience. Am I missing something? (01:50:16 - 01:51:26)

sJoost23

Answer: He said "I'll make it go away, Bella" Meaning he will make the venom and pain go away.

Answer: From what I can make out, he says, "I'll make you go away, Bella. I'll make you go away." He wants her to leave him so she can live her life as a human and be safe from other vampires.

Question: The Emperor tells Grievous to send the separatists to Mustafar so that Anakin can later kill them to quote "end this war" but why? Why not leave them with Grievous and have them be captured by Obi Wan? To add to that wasn't the war already over when Obi Wan killed Grievous? Wasn't that the whole point of sending Obi Wan to kill Grievous? Why bother killing them, the war is over, you'll have control of those systems back anyway.

Answer: His long-term plan still has to make it look like he's playing both sides. He must convince the Separatist leaders that he's trying to protect them and extend the war slightly until he gets Anakin completely on his side.

LorgSkyegon

To add to that Grievous was in control of the armies, so he had to be killed so the armies would be disbanded, better to risk a Jedi for that task. Also the separatist leaders had to be killed eventually because they could disappear and come back with another army or ships. They had served their purpose, they had to go.

Question: Is it Rudy's friend Jim who makes the catch on the halfback pass thrown by Vince Vaughn, Jamie near the end of the Georgia Tech game?

Answer: No.

Question: Can someone share some light on the prison scene at the start of the 2nd movie. Where is this prison? How does Jack know about it and who runs it? It is a scary looking place that is well designed but has next to no explanation or further role in the movie past this scene.

Answer: There is no explanation given about where the prison is, who runs it, or how Jack knows about it. Its only significance is that it is a plot device that sets the movie's story into motion. Jack needed the drawing of the key that will eventually lead to the Dead Man's Chest. He finagled his way into the prison solely to steal the drawing, then he escaped. There is no need for the audience to know more details about the prison or how Jack learned about the drawing's existence and its meaning.

Question: What happened to Doc's girlfriend from the first film? She risked her life to be with him at the end of Young Guns, so its a little odd that there's no mention of her in this film.

Gavin Jackson

Answer: Doc says in the movie he is married with kids. So you have to assume he married her.

Question: Who's the character who's the driver of both Sanchez's car and (after the second truck explosion and the shooting of Truman Lodge) one of the 2 remaining tankers throughout the truck chase at the end? Can't seem to find any info on him. Don't think he dies, as we see him leap out of the truck just prior to it tipping over (due to the damaged brake pipes) during the final confrontation between Sanchez and Bond.

Question: How come every shopper at Sir Sav a Lot didn't evacuate when Van Pelt had a gun and was shooting up the place while going after Judy, Peter and Sarah?

Trainman

Answer: They are probably too invested with their own looting to worry about someone else committing a crime.

LorgSkyegon

I especially like that one woman that is hesitating to take the box or not as everyone is running away when he shoots into the ceiling.

Question: When Pee-Wee offers gum to Francis and Mr. Buxton as a peace offering, what was it with the gum that caused Mr. Buxton to scream?

Answer: It was some sort of gag gum (popular in the past) that either had hot pepper/cinnamon or simply tasted terrible.

Brian Katcher

Question: When Harry and Marv capture Kevin from the hotel, what are they going to do to him and where are they taking him?

Trainman

Answer: They are presumably taking him somewhere secluded so they can exact their revenge.

LorgSkyegon

Answer: According to Harry, he wants to take Kevin to the subway tunnel and kill him.

Question: When Tommy, Jimmy, and Henry stop at Tommy's Mother's house to pick up a shovel after killing Billy Batts, why does Tommy take the kitchen knife even though at this point they all think Billy Batts is dead?

Answer: Any answer would be speculation, but given that Tommy is a violent psychopath, he may have been thinking of further mutilating Batts' body before they dispose of it.

Answer: TOMMY SAID HE HIT A DEER AND ITS HOOF WAS STUCK IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR.HE WANTED THE KNIFE TO CUT THE LEG AWAY.

You're completely missing the point of the question. Cutting off the deer's hoof was the excuse he was giving. The question is asking why he wanted the knife.

Question: When the survivors are in the cabin, it shows the smoke die down and a chilling noise can be heard. What is the purpose of this?

Answer: I'm just speculating here, but I think it was to try to show us that the inhabitants didn't plan on being away from their cabin for long. They used "just enough" fuel on their stove, so the smoke dissipating was a way of telling the viewers "This is around the time they were planning to be back". A bit like when using a slow cooker, you set it to go off around the time you'll be home from work.

Question: I'm the scene where X-ray takes the shorter shovel from Stanley, another boy walks up and says "smaller shovel, smaller hole." What is he eating? It looks like a tortilla shell but it's shiny like something is on it?

Answer: It's probably honey.

It is indeed honey, they mention it in the DVD commentary with the younger cast members.

Question: What did Katniss mean by asking if Gale's bread was real? I understand they don't often get bread in the Seam but how could it not be real?

THE GAMER NEXT DOOR

Answer: She is wondering if she might be dreaming.

Question: How did Cain get the McClains from the other car to his. Did he change all the tires? Did he make the guy he robbed do it? Did they go to a shop?

Answer: He would have either made the other guy take his wheels off and put them in his "Cains" car to be changed later or he held the guy at gun point and made him change the wheels from his car to Cains and Cain left his wheels for his victim to use.
