Question: When Jimmy says: "fell asleep on the train, wound up in bloody Neasden" was that possible in 1964, as the Jubilee line didn't open till 1979? Was there a different train station in Neasdon at the time?

Answer: The Jubilee Line was previously called the Fleet Line, and Neasden was on it.

Question: Can anyone please tell me what is the song, and the artist/band playing during the movie credits? Thank you.

Answer: If you're talking about the opening credits, it's "Prophecy" by Remy Zero. If you're talking about the end credits, it's "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer followed by "Prophecy." Although, in the opening credits, they skip the first "verse" of the song.

Question: If Ralph has robbed the victim, how come Harvey can also steal his money?

Answer: He didn't. After Ralph killed Mr. Colbert, he stole his wallet. He took the money and threw it away. Harvey found the empty wallet, and that's why the police charged him with murder.

Show generally

Question: Maybe I missed a full explanation or it's a plot hole for the show, but how do Michonne's armless, jawless walkers on a leash help mask her scent or let her walk among the walkers?

Bishop73

Answer: The other walkers see the two already upon her, figure that she's already taken, and move on.

Captain Defenestrator

What do you mean "upon her" if they're in front of her and walking forward?

Bishop73

A satisfactory answer hasn't really been given. The general consensus on Reddit is that having the two tame rotting zombies close by overpowers her own smell and the zombies can't detect her. In my previous answer, I was thinking that it was a psychological tactic. The other zombies see that they're about to eat her and about to attack, figure "that one's taken," and move on. This time, I'll go with the internet's answer.

Captain Defenestrator

I broke this question up into 2 because I ran out of room. But, yeah, I thought the idea was either mask her smell or make other Walkers think she's "taken." But in the show, those options don't seem to work for other characters.

Bishop73

"Upon" as in "They are about to descend down on their prey."

Captain Defenestrator

Yes, but I was asking about times when they're in front of her and she's following, not that ever showed any signs of descending down on her.

Bishop73

Well, zombies don't look that carefully to distinguish "Oh, those guys are walking in front of her instead of about to throw her on the ground and eat her. Let's get really hung up on the word "upon" now, shall we?"

Captain Defenestrator

It was my polite way of letting you admit you didn't know what you were talking about and were guessing with a total BS answer.

Bishop73

Ah. Well, I DID admit that earlier.

Show generally

Question: Has there been any explanation (in-show or by show creators) about the inconsistency of what attracts Walkers? They've shown that people who cover themselves in Walker guts aren't detected or attacked. When it rained, the rain washed off the guts and then the Walkers do try to attack. But if people hide under cars or don't make noises, the Walkers don't detect them. But it's also been shown that people under a pile of "dead" walkers are still attacked. So what causes a Walker to attack?

Bishop73

Answer: Walkers are attracted to noise, they can tell who's dead and who isn't dead, in S1 when Rick and Glenn cover themselves in walkers' guts they're able to get far by walking through the herd of walkers because they smell like they're dead, but as soon as the guts get washed off by the rain the walkers immediately attack them, if you draw attention to yourself they will attack you which we've seen that many times throughout the series that it's not always successful. Whether you're covered in guts hiding under dead corpses or under a car.

Answer: Walkers use sight and sound to find their prey, with sound being their first choice. When the characters cover themselves in guts, they aren't attacking because they can't "see" them and they're not making any noise. The same goes for when they're hiding under cars - walkers can't hear or see them. They'll go for anything that makes a noise, regardless of what it is. It's also very likely that walkers don't have the ability to smell, since they can't find people hiding under cars. Nor can they smell the Whispers who walk amongst them.

Question: How come the footage from the security cameras in the restaurant and the mental hospital haven't been looked at when Emily was murdered and all those guards were attacked? They all could've proved Cecilia's claims.

Cody Fairless-Lee

Answer: It's entirely possible that there weren't any security cameras in the restaurant that would have her on camera. As for the mental hospital, it doesn't really matter whether they look at the cameras or not - there are now plenty of witnesses to back her up, as evidenced by the fact she is free at the end.

TedStixon

Answer: Sydney was upset and reacting irrationally. Being that she is still quite young and not yet fully in command of her emotions or reasoning, she reacted immediately and jumped to what seemed a logical conclusion. From her point of view, there was nothing else that could have hit her.

Answer: Cecilia went over to Adrian's house and found another invisibility suit.

Answer: According to the director, it's almost always Adrian, except for the climax, where it is explicitly shown that Tom is wearing the suit. Adrian had him take over knowing that there was a very good chance Tom wouldn't survive, because he wanted to set Tom up as the fall-guy for him. (Of course Tom didn't know this).

TedStixon

Where does the director state that?

Cody Fairless-Lee

In an interview with Perri Nemiroff, director Leigh Whannell said Tom only wore the suit once. https://collider.com/invisible-man-when-is-adrian-wearing-the-suit-explained/?fbclid=IwAR0FeHR0w-7DPFjFq71By1SEN9e8C5tR_WPDWGQp26Rm9_ASasjqjMLKKMI.

Bishop73

Answer: Tom is Adrian's brother and also acts as his attorney. He apparently helped stage Adrian's fake suicide, then acted as the intermediary with Cecilia regarding Adrian's will. Tom also acted as Adrian's accomplice by impersonating him when he wore the invisibility suit. Adrian later frames Tom to be the "fall guy" for his crimes.

Question: How long has Cecilia been away from Adrian after her escape? Had to ask because the nurse said to Cecilia that she had been pregnant for around a month.

Cody Fairless-Lee

Answer: Using context clues from the movie, we can assume she's been gone for a few weeks. She likely got pregnant shortly before she escaped, hence she's about a month along when she goes to the doctor. The events of the movie transpire over a relatively short period of time, so it all lines up pretty well.

TedStixon

Answer: Here's some online info: Rather than bending light around, Griffin's suit acts like a hyperactive camouflage, by measuring incoming light and projecting it on the opposite side of his body, creating the illusion of invisibility.

raywest

Answer: Wealthy Adrian controlled every aspect of Cecilia's life, so he most likely prohibited her from working - she was his stay-at-home "trophy wife." Cecilia asked "invisible" Adrian, "So why me? I'm just a suburban girl who stumbled into your life one night at a party... There's nothing left for you to take. You've already taken it all", which implies even preventing her from getting employment or starting a career. Cecilia did graduate from "Cal Poly Architecture", so she had skills/ability (evidenced by her portfolio of drawings), but she was stuck at the "aspiring architect" level. She told the job interviewer at "Ruler" architecture, "After Cal Poly, I worked in Paris for six months." That's the extent of her employment history - Adrian took over her life after that. There were no indications in the movie that Cecilia was employed when she finally left Adrian. It appears she just took the first step toward starting her career now that she had (or thought she had) her freedom back.

KeyZOid

Answer: She worked as an architect before meeting Adrian.

Question: The Man in Black keeps telling his victims that there is no afterlife and calls Arra a "seer who lies." Does that mean in this movie, there is no afterlife? If there is no afterlife, what does he mean by saying "been there" when one of his victims tells him to "go to Hell"?

Cody Fairless-Lee

Question: Olivia Castle walks into the office and is holding an envelope with a bereavement check. She probably uses that toward her laser eye surgery. The company suffered a huge and tragic loss in employees. They might work together, but they are not family related. Olivia was single and had no family relationship with any of the employees. So why would the company give her bereavement pay?

Question: What is the name of the drummer in the band singing Jim Dandy to the Rescue?

Answer: The Wright Brothers Band was the musical group that appeared in the film. John Wright was the drummer.

raywest

Answer: No, he did not kill her. It appeared he was about to, but someone came into the room and he left.

Question: Quite often I notice that Brigitta is holding the hand of Greta and was wondering why.

Answer: Kym Karath, the actress who portrayed Greta, was only six-years-old at the time and needed some guidance while filming the scenes, particularly ones involving many cast members and with much activity going on. That would be a bit much for a small child to handle alone.
