Lo Scandalo - S3-E8

Question: How did Krieger manage to dispose of Savio's body and how did he even manage to get the entire bathroom cleaned up with so much blood in the room so quickly? With how much blood there was, it should have taken a long time to clean up.

Question: A "modified" racing stock car, white with the number 1 on it, appears in the scene when Frank Lucas is calling home to North Carolina for his brothers to join him up north. One brother answers the phone on the garage wall and when he heads toward the house the camera scans the yard following him and there is a white stock car parked in the yard, does anybody know the significance to the movie? Can you tell if it is a red, white and blue number 1 on the side? Charlie Jarzombek's car?

Question: Something I'm confused about... every home-video and streaming version of the movie available is in full-frame. But I've read it was released in theaters in some countries. So was the movie initially released in widescreen? It seems odd that the DVD editions are only in full-frame, especially as at the time they were released, widescreen was pretty much taking over as widescreen TV's were becoming more popular and full-frame was being phased out.

Question: Was there an intention by the writer or director to make an allusion to the Japanese cartoon "8th Man", as he was the 8th experiment and first success? Or is it coincidence that the similarity exists?

Question: When older Adam tells young Adam that he has no friends in high school, barely has any in college, and gets arrested for an unknown crime in a couple of years, how does all that not discourage Adam to not continue helping his older self now that he knows his life will get worse? Why wouldn't young Adam attempt time travel to fix all that? Do the events of the movie after destroying the accelerator help Adam have friends in high school and college and prevent his arrest?

Old Friends - S2-E1

Question: At the end of the first season, D'arcy has broken her hand falling the cliff, but in the first episode of season 2, which continues from the same sequence of the last episode, she is playing baseball, and her hand looks fine. Is it a mistake? Or enough time passed while Harry was in the hospital?

Nir Krasner

Question: Based on the answer on the above submitted question about the song difference between the movie release and the home video/DVD version, I was wondering what song title/artist was played on the home video/DVD version during the swimming pool scene where Damone pushes Mark into the pool. I know the original release played Never Surrender by Don Felder during that scene, but looking for the other song info from the other version. Does anyone know it?

The Last Haircut - S4-E19

Question: How could one of the three have been in prison during the murder at the barbershop? Did he have a twin?

Question: When the Lakota go to save Dunbar, Bauer gets away, one of the Lakota kills him. Should've the hatchet been in his back and not the front? (02:49:11)

Ultra Fine

Question: In the beginning of the film, the sea monster thing was mistaken for a level 10-11 earthquake. If it was that powerful, wouldn't it be creating tsunamis? The same thing with their thermal energy core that Sarah blows up. Wouldn't it cause a tsunami? I don't really know geology very well so sorry if this is stupid.

Question: The gang meet the prisoner Jeff on the ship given by Rassouli. After his first appearance, he never shows up in the rest of the movie. What happened to him? Were his scenes edited out?

Bunch Son

Question: Is Chris Rock's beard throughout the film an appliance, or did Rock actually grow it out? (I know his goatee in the flashback is fake, I'm talking about the beard he has during all the modern day scenes.) I could swear I saw a little glue on his chin next to his beard in one scene, like it was an appliance, but I couldn't quite tell, so I didn't submit it as a mistake.

Drugs Actually - S5-E11

Question: The Army says Ian could serve 5 years in prison for going AWOL. Given that he fraudulently enlisted at the age of 17, could they actually charge him with going AWOL when he wasn't legally allowed to serve in the military in the first place?

Phaneron

Question: Red is involved in weapons smuggling but why would he hijack the rig that Jack was driving if the weapons were supposed to be delivered to Cutler?
