Question: How does Wade have a photo of Francis for his board, if he doesn't know how to find him?
Question: Why did Bugsy trap the waitress inside the phone booth and leave?
adamtrainman@aol.comAnswer: He didn't have the money to pay the diner bill, so he called the operator, in the phone booth, to call the diner number to test the line.
Question: Was the fairy godmother the one who cast the ogre spell on Fiona?
Answer: In the first movie Fiona says that it was a witch that cast the spell on her when she was a little girl.
That witch could have been fairy godmother disguised as a witch.
Answer: Possibly. It's confirmed the fairy godmother locked her in that tower, and her son Prince Charming was supposed to go there and kiss her so she would not transform into an ogre anymore. However the curse worked in reverse and the fairy godmother told Fiona she was still cursed because she was still an ogre. But it is never stated she put the curse on her.
lionheadQuestion: Was Hobb Cain's son? If not, who was he to Cain?
The_IcemanAnswer: They're not related. Hob was just a skilled fighter and leader and Cain essentially made Hob his apprentice in the Nuke Cult.
Bishop73Answer: Voldemort knew Dumbledore was not only an extremely powerful wizard with loyal allies, but that he had no fear of the Dark Lord. Dumbledore knew Voldemort better than anyone else, his strengths and his weaknesses, having known him since he was the young Tom Riddle. Dumbledore could always predict what Voldemort's intentions were.

Question: With the help of Assistant Mayor Bellwether, Judy and Nick look at the traffic cam where two timberwolves took Manchas away with them. How did the wolves know Manchas went savage and where to find him?
Bunch SonAnswer: The wolves were spread out and checking the areas for any animals who gone savage until they end up finding one.
Question: Did Erik know that Zuri was his Uncle James before Zuri told him he was the one responsible for his death?
Answer: Although many fans speculated it was because the Hulk fears Thanos after Thanos easily defeated him at the beginning of the film, the Russo brothers have since come out and said that it's because the Hulk feels that Banner only wants the Hulk around for helping him in fights, so his refusal to transform is a protest of sorts.
PhaneronI think it's both.
Well it's not both. The Russo Brothers, who directed the film, have openly stated that the Hulk is not afraid of Thanos.
PhaneronAnswer: Because he doesn't like being used as a tool and he also is summoned in two places he's already destroyed: New York and Africa. Those are two places he's shown regret for the damage he's caused, which caused him to leave in the first place.
DetectiveGadget85Answer: Cause Hulk is afraid of Thanos.
This is directly contradicted by the directors of the film, who have stated it's because he doesn't like that Banner only wants to use him for his strength.
Jason HoffmanWhile I understand that this is what the directors said, what we have in the finished product would never lead one to this conclusion. We first see Hulk fight Thanos and get completely over-matched. From then on, we only get glimpses of Hulk inside Banner, refusing to come out, and seemingly scared to do so. If they wished to convey inner strife between Banner and Hulk or anything else, that did a very poor job doing so.
oldbaldyoneQuestion: Why would Bea have to move if Thomas went back to London?
Cody Fairless-LeeAnswer: The Rabbits assumed that she would leave to be with Thomas.
Question: How exactly were Dracula's servants successful in stopping Van Helsing in 1897? What did the monster hunters do wrong?
Answer: They caused enough chaos and terror in the hunters that the girl couldn't focus on reading the incantation. Van Helsing was desperately trying to get her to hurry up and finish but she just couldn't get it done in time with everything going on around her. Apparently Van Helsing's group was not prepared for the undead bursting from the ground and frightening everyone.
BaconIsMyBFFQuestion: Was there a deleted scene where Clint tells Cap that he is definitely retired this time?
THE GAMER NEXT DOORAnswer: No, Civil War barely has any deleted scenes, and not one between Cap and Hawkeye.
Friso94Question: I don't understand that when Cheng keeps picking on Dre, he's telling Dre to stay away from him and his friends. Can someone please explain that?
THE GAMER NEXT DOORAnswer: It is a common bullying tactic, telling someone to "stay away" from you knowing they cannot. Kids who go to the same school or live in the same neighborhood are bound to run into each other. It just gives the bully an excuse to antagonize the victim whenever they do run into each other because the victim isn't following orders to "stay away."
BaconIsMyBFFQuestion: When Angela is buying the Baby Ruths, most of the other candies are turned backwards (I assume to avoid product placement). But above the Baby Ruth is one with the name facing forward that looks like it's called "Picaroon." Is this a real candy bar that's local to the Scranton area or just completely made up? If it's made up, any inside information about where the name came from or if there's an inside joke or show reference to it?
Bishop73Answer: There does not appear to be a real candy bar by that name. The word is real, however. It refers to someone who is a rogue, a scoundrel, a thief, or an otherwise dubious character.

Question: What is the name of the song Ted's band plays at the end?
The_IcemanAnswer: Eight days a week by the Beatles.
Question: At the end, how does Joe know where to dig?
Jon SandysChosen answer: Earlier in the film, it's mentioned that he had some money buried in a special spot in his yard, but that it had been dug up. When he saw the shovel at the end (which indicates that something was buried that he should did up), he realised that the new money stash had been buried in the same spot as his old stash. They basically gave him the clue, and he put two-and-two together on his own.
TedStixonQuestion: Did Amy forget to say goodbye to Adam before she went to college? She did say bye to Wayne and Nick but not Adam.
adamtrainman@aol.comAnswer: She may have said goodbye to Adam but it just wasn't shown.
Question: Did the guy and the girl at the end of the film end up living? I don't think they brought it up in the other films.
Answer: We are led to believe that they did in fact survive. The guy most definitely did. He is in the support group in Saw: The Final Chapter. (He has a bandage / cast on his destroyed arm).
Alan KeddieQuestion: Can someone please explain why Carmen has to say "My feet stink"?
THE GAMER NEXT DOORAnswer: This was a reference to the previous movie, in which a scene showed Juni and Carmen able to read each other's minds. In this scene, Juni told Carmen, through reading minds, that her feet stink. She said it because he wanted to be told something only Carmen would say.

Answer: Because it's much easier to find a photo of someone than it is to find the actual person. Law enforcement agencies very often have photographs of wanted criminals on file, even if they're still at large. In addition, it's a pretty common movie trope for a hitman to be given (or otherwise acquire) a picture of his target, then be told to find him/her (which may or may not be based in reality...more likely, it's just a film cheat to give the audience a visual reference and help them follow along).
