Question: In the movie, there were four guys plotting the bomb in the room. One guy says he doesn't want to do it anymore, and one of the older guys has them killed while everybody is there. There's a younger guy and then the two older guys, which would leave three, but it only shows the two assassinations plus the guy that stole the bomb. What happened to the third guy that was in that room? Did he get away?
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: Is it said, anywhere, if Anakin and Padmé decided on their "baby's" name (not knowing there were twins) before Anakin turned? Maybe they chose Luke for a boy, Leia for a girl? Padmé seems to say the names quickly during childbirth. However, after Vader discovers Luke in the future, it would be an interesting coincidence that he and Leia have those names, are the same age, and Leia looks like Padmé.
Answer: It is never said, but since Vader did not know Leia was his daughter, it's safe to assume Padmé came up with the names herself.
Question: Why didn't Violet's mother stop the Oompa-Loompas from jumping on her daughter during their song? They didn't care about her comfort as they jumped on her from a big height, making the impact painful, and they also rolled her on her head, making her hit the floor and mopping it with her hair. She can be heard several times pleading with the Loompas to stop, crying for help and screaming. So why didn't her mother stop them?
Answer: I'll be completely honest - I think you may be drastically overthinking this quite a bit. There's nothing to suggest that the Oompa-Loompas are causing her significant pain, nor is screaming or crying as much as this question suggests. It's a highly stylized song sequence in a highly stylized movie. You shouldn't necessarily be watching it as though it were totally realistic and logical. But to give you something of an answer, you could also say the mum is just in a state of shock.
Question: In Pleasure Island, why did the curse take so long for Pinocchio and Lampwick to start feeling its effects after the other boys were already donkeys?
Answer: The other boys pigged out on all the sweets and other sugary substances. Lampwick smoked only cigars and drank beer. Plus, Pinocchio was a wooden puppet, not a real boy.

Question: Why did Sam insist on going to the library? Laura suggests they should just go back to the apartment, and Sam says, "They have to get higher," but the library doesn't appear to be very high at all. At this point, none of them know about the freezing temperatures, so you can't even say that he knew there were loads of books to burn for heat.
Answer: It's a library and people wouldn't know there are books. The place was a huge open auditorium-type building. People were running amok; it was the one place people could gather with room to spare.
Question: Why were some words in the film changed to signs/symbols years after the film's release (e.g. KID-TASTROPHE being changed to a toxic sign with a child on it)?
Answer: There was a US/English language version and an international version of the movie. Also, several edits of signs and other graphics have been made over the life of the movie. Check IMDb for details.
Question: Given that Heather is supposed to be a gun expert, why did she grab a flare gun and shoot it at the Graboid when there was a wall full of other choices?
Answer: They were throwing literally everything they had at it to see what worked. At a certain point, it shrugged off enough regular bullets, so why not try a flare and see if fire is its weakness? They eventually realised that only high-powered ammo and explosives were effective.
Question: Why would Emma go to the show's premiere at the Inn if she was sure it was going to humiliate the General? (And why would the General keep her on knowing she routinely reads guest mail and listens in on private phone calls?)
Answer: Emma was told off camera what was going to happen and that they weren't going to humiliate the general. And it's never stated that the general knew she listened to phone calls or read mail.
Question: Why are there no police vehicles parked outside the Genest home when Jesse arrives to deal with the domestic, even though Luther and Tony are already there?
Question: What about Al's driving made John question if Stevie Wonder was driving? Later on in the bathroom, he states, "The way you drove that car, I figured you for the streets." What exactly is wrong with his driving?
Answer: At first, John made the mocking Stevie Wonder remark because Al drove up to the Nakatomi Building very slowly and leisurely after John's frantic emergency call to the police. He expected a forceful police response. Later, John is referring to how Al had suddenly flown into action and expertly drove the cop car backwards after the dead body hit the hood/windshield. John meant that Al must have been a patrol cop skilled at high-speed driving. Al responded by saying, "In my youth."
