Question: Why don't they use a helicopter to fly back to the Jaguar's Eye?

Question: Why is Mowgli still only wearing his tiny loincloth when he's now living in a proper village where clothes are made? I understand he may be used to it since he's worn it his whole life, but as I said, it is very old and also looks very small on him. Don't you think his parents would at least make him a new, slightly bigger pair of shorts to wear?

Question: During the crew's joyride in a stolen Cadillac, Preacher isn't paying attention while driving, so he accidentally bumps into the rear of another car. Everyone falls out of the car, yelling "whiplash, whiplash". The crew runs. Fast forward, detectives appear at Cooley High to question the crew. How did they know to arrive at Cooley High to question the crew? They didn't leave a trail. Did they drop their school IDs or something?

Question: Is it implied that Sissy and Brandon had an incestuous relationship at one stage? Or were they victims of sexual abuse?

Question: Why exactly does Brick Top hate Tommy so much? What does he have against him? Is it because Tommy reminds Brick Top of someone from his past who he found annoying and insufferable? Or did Brick Top straight up not like Tommy from the start? I've seen this film many times and I've never been able to figure out why this is the case.

Question: Why didn't Finn put cameras in the house to prove that he was right?

Question: When the team is inside the 'laser room', there is a sizable space between the door on either end and the mirrored corridor itself. Why didn't they simply hide in that safe zone to avoid the lasers? (00:30:25 - 00:33:35)

Question: Everyone at the Magic Castle Inn wanted to go and see the abandoned condos that caught on fire, except for Scooty. There are so many people around that tourist area. Anyone could have done it. What makes Ashley (Scooty's mother) think that Scooty was the one that caused the fire?

Question: When does Eisenheim give Sophie the liquid that revives her? It had to be after the Chief Inspector examines her, but we don't see him approach the wagon before going to speak with the Chief Inspector, and the wagon had left after the conversation. (01:02:11 - 01:43:09)

Question: Why would Bill be carrying around buckets of fish in his truck? They're not refrigerated or on ice, so he can't sell them after they've been sitting around for hours. Can anyone who's done commercial fishing explain?
