10 Perfect Movies With One Glaring Flaw 

Right? He wants people to think he's crazy and does the unpredictable because that way they won't be expecting him to have a calculated plan and try to figure out what it might be (which is why, traditionally, Gotham's Uber Detective Bruce Wayne is his nemesis, because he doesn't make this false assumption). If anyone watched that movie and thought to themselves, "Well, this was an otherwise perfect movie, but that crazed, clown make-up wearing crime boss just told a *lie*, it completely ruined the whole thing for me!" then... I honestly don't know what to say to that person.

what happened to dent was planned, that's why he told batman the wrong addresses because he knew he would go after Rachel, and keeping harvey alive with rachel dead would allow him to turn harvey into the bad guy, was most definitely planned

Eggsactly.

Thank you!

The REAL point is - bad writing.

Bobby Phillips no yeah that's true. darth Vader being Lukes and leias father had not been written yet as both of those scenes were shot.

"No....there is another." - Yoda, referring to Luke's sister.... It was known to the writers that they were siblings, at least before Empire Strikes Back. This was probably worked out the same time Lucas decided to make Han her love interest.

The Irony here is great, we're talking about the Joker saying he doesn't have a plan and actually having one, and Obi-Wan saying Vader killed Luke's Father, which IS metaphorical, dumb shits. Anyways the best part is you guys are trying to prove that George Lucas didn't have a plan, I just find this whole thing funny... and revealing.

It's not really all that convenient it is all pretty much all planned out as obi-wan has lied on many accounts much more is explained in the comics but one instance where you can see obi-wan caught in a similar situation is when he tells luke "I never owned this droid" is another misleading answer refering to r2 when he is shown leia's holovid. And he never did own r2 or c3p0 they belonged to anakin. you see later however on the falcon r2 moves to obi-wans side while hes training luke with the sensory disruptor and he says "its been a long time my old friend" showing that he does still remeber r2 and just about everything else. some of the more current cannon comics detailing obi-wans time on tattooine show him growing pretty senile he is the ultimate troll and thats that there is no flaw there. for them to point that out as a flaw is silly id rather them cover flaws of how some of cannon now interacts with legends and where plot holes followed after cutting so much from the EU because now there exist quite a few random holes that they are pretty much ignoring

Wolfsgeist yeah the Joker said he doesn't have a plan while holding the gun with dent and if u look he's actually holding the gun in a way so dent couldn't shoot him if he wanted

so, why would the bonds after still greige his dead wife.

when do they grieve his wife?

It does not need an explanation, did i even once say that I subscribe to this theory, it's just a fun theory, food for thought. But for the record, "there is only one bond" could still be in reference to the codename of bond, and it being considered prestigious

I believe in the film for your eyes only, he is shown putting flowers on her grave and in the spy who loved me, it was mentioned that he was married and had his wife killed. There is also references in Goldeneye, the world is not enough and license to kill.

i'll have to check those references before i can argue back or concede, gimme a minute

Would the slur Copper top instead have been "Pentium"

That's not even the biggest issue here. Humans CAN be better 'batteries' because of how nutrients are extracted. A gallon of gas has more energy potential than your car's engine produces from one gallon of gas - but you can't extract the energy in that gas without a motor... So yes, humans would produce less energy than what they're consuming, but humans may be the most effective way of turning that POTENTIAL energy into USABLE electricity

Mitochondria are damn efficient machines!

WHAT... the... FUCK... are you on about, Jake? Get back to Physics 101!

Yeah but with one simple (BS) line Morpheus sorta explained it... "combined with a form fusion'... they never really explain this 'fusion'... So yeah WhatCulture fucked up on this list, the 'glaring flaws' they pointed out just looks like Adam missed a detail that actually 'explains it all'... maybe not a great explanation... but hey its a movie not a classroom

I always assumed it reset as dawn, but the bigger thing for me is that they multiply in water but spend most of the first film running around in the snow.

Apart from precisely 00.00AM. You must feed them in that split second.

Even as a child, I wondered about this 😂 when CAN you feed them again? Are time zones taken into account?

As Adam describes Andy's shoes as "shiny new Oxfords", the shoes pictured are Derbies. I wonder if he is just messing with pedants everywhere.

Frederick Bird touché

You wouldn't go out dressed like that unless you had a plan

In fact, from the original movie's perspective, there is no flaw at all. When the movie came out, George Lucas had not yet come up with the "I am your father" plot twist, so the story Obi-Wan tells Luke is the rightful one. The problem is only with ESB, which, by creating the great plot twist, created a great plot hole along with it.

Yeah Obi Wan was just trying to protect Luke from his father’a true identity

Obi Wan lying wasn't a flaw - it's his attempt to justify it that's a flaw.

Did anyone know Darth Vader was Anakin?

Yeah, he tells him that from a certain point of view he was right, so yeah he just lied kinda.

Thank you. Some people pay no attention to details. They f--ed up on a few movies, and it is annoying me lol

Joker is reading his boat speech from a notebook he's holding when he takes the prisoners and civilians hostage. He's also holding the hammer of the revolver down when giving Harvey the choice to kill him or not in the hospital. Joker had plans.

I mean I chalked up the whole, "Do I look like a guy with a plan" As just another of his many many lies, as he was there, planning to drive Harvey to madness when he said that...

@@streetrat48 He was trying to manipulate Harvey, so of course he would lie about not having plans.

@@SallinKari Yes, the Joker was telling a joke with the man with a plan line. Imagine that.

I don't think it would be hard for anyone to understand the analogy between a human brain and a computer...

Benjamin Vroman good job not saying brothers when referring to them 👍🏻👍🏻

@@Trias805 no, but people from studios are idiots and think everyone is as stupid as them

It doesn't make a lot less sense. It makes sense it's just kinda a plot filler

The brothers the made the matrix are sisters now.

Thinking a little isn't Whatculture's strength.

It's really a rather fucking shitty channel. Like HISHE, or Cinema Sins - they take all the suspension of disbelief out of movies.

Cinema Sins is meant to be sarcastic...not Whatculture

one, those other channels are meant for humor, not to be taken seriously. this channel, although it HAS humor, he is trying to make a serious point. two, there is a difference between "suspension of disbelief" and 'bad writing/plot holes', both of these are not synonymous.

Justin Kiwi I was typing the same thing then saw ur post. Lol

adam is an idiot

about half of these werejust bs

I don't think Adam knows that everything Joker said in that movie was a lie.

He didn't lie. He asked "Do I look like a guy with a plan?". Of course he wanted him to think no, but it was really just a question. I don't remember the Joker lying even once throughout the movie.

Jan Christoffersen he told his henchmen that he was going to kill Batman, then he told Batman that he never had any intention on killing him.

@Pappy Tron do you not get that by that point in the movie and the book pretty much all the guards trusted Andy and likely never looked down to see the shoes. They pretty much him alone to do the books.

@@Shadothecat Exactly.

The point in the movie still stands. How often to look at someone’s shoes? rarely.

Same here. Spent my entire internship wearing tennis shoes and no one noticed till i pointed it out

Well as a socially awkward person I would say i look at peoples shoes all the time.

Bad analogy. You totally missed his point.

Yeah. It doesn't mean he's incapable of planning or something. He just has no long term goal other than to be the antagonist (in the most literal of ways) and simply cause chaos...

I think the bigger plot hole is, how the hell did Joker rig an entire hospital to explode in such a short amount of time with no one noticing (he wouldn't have known harvey would have a burnt face or when someone would just happen to go on the news to out batman).

t's pretty obvious that the Joker was playing Harvey Dent, and pretty much everyone else around him, like a fiddle. He's a criminal and psychological genius! When he asked Dent if he looked like someone with a plan he was manipulating him. That wasn't a plot hole, it was brilliant character development.

Prowlingmonkey but he did know Dent would be in the hospital, because he is the one who set it up to happen that way.

Jeff C He knew Dent would fall on the floor, get fuel on his face, have batman get him out of the building, but not far enough away so that Dent's face would catch on fire?

Mike Blodgett that's exactly how I perceived it. He was the inmate living the most comfortable life and he did the guards tax returns so they were always gonna let things slide

Exactly and most would have assumed, he just took the time to shine his own shoes. No one would have imagined he'd stolen the warden's shoes because if caught, where could he go?

There it is, - if you didn't say it I would.. You are correct. he says "At precisely 10.04pm"Hope you're reading these WhatCulture

So how does Doc know that? He's the only person around when it strikes, which means _originally_ no one was around to witness it

He reads it on the flier which Marty shows to him.... In the film.. When they discuss it in great depth It's not rocket science and it's not a conspiracy....

and the one we're Doc sets the alarm clock to precisely go off when Marty needs to set off from the start line. Yet he's still struggling to start the car when it goes off, so should have missed the strike

but precisely 10:04 just means it wasn't, say, a couple minutes either way, If it said "exactly" then i would agree with you.

MisterSchweetz that would be all well and good except the first time that buzz is played with is before he meets any of the other toys. they are all upstairs in andys room while the kids are downstairs.

M Papalionakis huh, guess I haven't seen it in a while, I didn't know that. Thanks!

I always think of Toy Story 2 when this comes up. In the scene when Buzz and the other toys are in Al's Toy Barn shop and Buzz meets the other Buzz (the one with the belt), the Store Buzz says he cannot be awake and has to wait on hyper-sleep status until awaken by an authorized human. While it doesn't clarify the fact that Buzz remains immobile while people are around but it does indicate that there are some rules that they have to follow even when they believe they are real Space Rangers from Gamma Quadrant, Sector 4

I always figured that not moving around a human was just some kind of subconscious thing that all toys have, whether they know they're a toy or not.

MisterSchweetz nah he's made to attack and he did it to Woody too with his lazer. .surely he would want to attack Andy too and not act like a toy when he enters the room

Ukiyo 😂😂

10/10 would actually be perfect

Jerm da Worm yes, yes it would. Which would make it the wrong ratio for this comment. Anybody else have irrelevant comments to add?

THANK YOU!!

what plot holes where in return of the king?

The original thumbnail was from the return of the king. They switched it out for a pic from looper.

Milo cassarino They changed it, the original thumbnail was from the return of the king.

Duncan Mackenzie nwo its die hard

I'm pretty sure Hitchcock was forced to include that scene. He was constantly fighting the censors.

There needed to be *some* kind of explanation at the end, or else everyone would think the movie was just one big mindf#ck.

source? don't say this video

It’s the studio that pushed for that scene, not Hitchcock. So be happy with them if you liked it :)

But how did anyone know it was 'precisely' at 10:04?Also that in now way is the films biggest hole. By changing his parents lives for the better he basically created a new timeline. His parents lived vastly different lives then then the parents he remembers, he basically now is living with strangers.

I always wondered why they couldn’t just put the car on blocks and have it constantly gunning it at 88mph until the lightning struck. but i guess the movies gotta movie

Agreed. If anything, the Joker was just fucking with Dent just to get him on his side.

Manuel Jimenez the gun would still go off and just break right through his finger

The Joker Lies. I thought that was a given.

Break through his finger? The hammer of a gun does not have anywhere near that kind of power. You can easily decock a cocked gun by holding down the hammer firmly and pulling the trigger, then gently guiding the hammer down into its resting state.

Marcus Östgård ah my bad

TheBobBrom He probably packed shoeshine into the bag he brought, or else got them cleaned up before he visited the bank. And the punishment would be a big deal. Remember, Andy had swapped the ledger for the bible and the warden finds it just as the alarm goes off. If he had not escaped, Andy would probably be invited to go smoking outside the fence at night...

TheBobBrom they're still shiny because he wrapped all his clothes in plastic, including the shoes. Did you watch the movie?

Andy is just lucky he didn't live in the time of affirmative action.

The issue in Shawshank is that Andy Knew the people, they are Predictable and Complacent. Yes, it's a risk, but it Felt Good! He might have Planned an Excuse-Breaking them in for the Warden, for example- Are they going to wake him up at Home to ask? Challenge Andy and your Taxes don't get done!

"Seriously, how often do you look at a man's shoes?"......A great line, in part because it's true - Women's shoes get noticed, men's don't.

I honestly had a rant ready to go over this. I'm glad some people get it. Well said.

Yes. The Hill Valley Historical Preservation Society 'save the clock tower' Lady gave Marty the flyer which said at 'precisely' 10:04 pm the clock was struck my lightning. All they had to do was sync their clocks with the working clock in 1955. My flaw to add would have been that the DeLorean wouldn't start when the alarm clock went off to signal Marty it was time to hit the gas. he lost about 10 seconds there.

What? The flyer said NOTHING about what precise second lightning hit the tower, just that it struck at 4 after 10 pm. With no knowledge of what second lightning hit, past doc had no real clue of when in that 60 second gap lightning would strike. But for Movie sake of course it happened to hit right at 10:04 on the nose.

+Nysguy2003 It did. Watch Back to the Future 1, Doc reads the flyer "It says here that a bolt of lightning is going to struck the clock tower at precisely 10:04 p.m. next Saturday night!" +David Scown About the Delorean stalling before driving off to the lightning struck, maybe Marty drove faster than expected (or Doc miscalculated, which would not be probable as he would not miscalculate 10 seconds off in an event with elements so closely together) but then again you gotta drive WAY faster to catch up 10 seconds in such short distance.

toejam119 Doc says the word "precisely". Precisely doesnt appear anywhere on thr flyer.

Are you implying you want a sausage fest? O_O

Chris Brooksbank here's a love heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Me too... want some company?

we are sitting next to you, you just cant see us

Chris Brooksbank "One is the loneliest number."

Me

The Major Crimes Unit existed before the Marvel Cinematic Universe

ME! I thought that's what he meant?

Except of cause they do know the precise second the clock will be struck. The clocks gears, as it is an analog clock, would have preserved it, and likely marty would have been taught the exact time in school, he may have even had an excursion there. It could have also been written on the flier, which we are told said the precise(meaning down to the second) time. Plus Doc loves his clocks, and during setting up likely would have inspected the gears himself. When the word "Precisely" is used to describe the time, it means "accurate to the second". In BTTF we see the gear move to the position before the lightening hits. So they knew the exact time, because "Precisely" was used in the flyers description and by the "save the clock tower" charity worker.

Although Doc used the word 'precisely' in describing what the flyer supposedly said about the time, the 'save the clock tower' charity worker doesn't do this. She only said lightning struck the tower 30 years ago.

As I conjectured above, what if the car hitting the wire is what caused the lightning to strike? It created the best path to ground. Just a thought.

I've always assumed the pamphlet gave the term 'precisely', which they would be able to work out by looking at the clock mechanisms somtime between 1955 and 1985. Convenient, yes.

+Matthew Kite Cars only touch the floor with large thick rubber tires and rubber does not conduct electricity. Cars are one of the safest places to be if lightning strikes because it's almost impossible for the car to be the best way for the lightning to ground itself. I suppose he could have had some unseen metal cable or something dragging under the car so that the lightning can bypass the rubber and ground itself through the metal cable that is attached to the rest of the metal on the car, but more likely the lightning would have struck there regardless of the position of the car as there was another path for it to reach the ground that didn't involve traveling through the car and it's tires.

the joker calling maggie gyllenhaal beautiful was the biggest flaw in that movie

deathweapon247 i cuncure

That's my answer. He's lied many times before vis-à-vis his facial scars. He tells people what they need to know for them to do what he wants - "Would you like to see a magic trick?" not "Would you like me to skewer one of your henchmen in the eye with a fucking pencil?" If he told Harvey Dent "Turning you into a hideous disfigured villain is all part of my master plan" what would Dent say? "Oh why didn't you say so? Hand me my gun and my coin and let's get to flushing my entire life down the drain." probably not.

I think The Joker meant plan like a goal for personal gain, He just wants anarchy.

I guess it depends on who you are. Personally, I find her quite beautiful.

Even the first point is invalid. While we do have 75%water it is also mix in different level. The water evaporate in gothom is just water. Not blood. It was also aim downwards. It directional so you can target your enemy's water supply.

Nothing ever is. You just live to love it with it's flaws. That's what my mother says anyway. 😕😅😅😅😅😅

Most of them are and the guy who made the list is just a moron. Like the Back to the Future one, Doc says the lightning will hit at precisely 10:04. Of course the Joker has a plan and just says that to con Two-Face. No people in jail right before bed probably wouldn't notice his shoes just because they're shiny and so on and so on.

They also weren't sure there were going to be any other movies, so details like that didn't matter. According to some sources, the next two movies weren't even completely written yet and underwent a lot of changes. So who knows, maybe Lucas actually meant it in "New Hope" but then decided by "Empire" it would be cooler to have things turn out like they did.

Actually, not true at all. What Obi Wan said was originally true. It wasn't til the screenwriting of Empire that Lucas decided to make that twist. It's why I don't see why people were surprised bout the HD changes since it's all Lucas ever did from the very beginning. In fact, Luke got to meet his real father's force ghost thing in the original draft for empire on dagobah.

Originally Obi-Wan was the one who had killed his father, but then Lucas had the idea of making Vader his father for a massive plot twist. All the continuity errors really are errors because Lucas made up the story as he went along and then tried to salvage it in ROTJ... And then we have the prequels making an even bigger mess of the whole thing...

Actually the reason is much simpler than this. Vader wasn't originally written to be his father. Luke's father was originally written as a deceased Jedi spirit that would guide Luke to saving the day. As the movie went on tweaks were made changing Obi Wan into the guiding spirit and his father was essentially written out, leaving way for the plot twist to be added in Empire Strikes Back. It all makes sense if you think about it. I mean.. if Luke was originally meant to be in hiding from Vader from the start, hanging out on his home planet with his aunt and uncle would hardly have made sense. Same can be applied to pretty much all of A New Hope's misgivings: The Luke/Leia kiss wasn't gross, because at the time.. they weren't meant to be siblings, Obi Wan wasn't a liar, and of course Vader not "sensing him" during the original death star fight.

Except the joker never really wants to actually kill batman because he has so much fun fucking with him at least in the comics

I've been saying this about BTTF2 for years. I was beginning to think I was the only one who cared.

I suppose this is why the movie isn't that good. Not because this is a flaw, but because at that moment, you know that Marty will be successful. You could stop the movie at this point because doc and Marty restore the original time line.

It's because old Biff leaves before young Biff has placed his first bet. At the moment old Biff leave 1955 the future hasn't changed yet. Until young Biff does something different the original future still exists. And you don't know at that moment that Marty will be successful because the original future isn't the one that is set in play by the end of the films when Marty avoid the car crash. At that point, the original future is also changed.

shouldn't Marty and Doc travelled back along the original 1985 timeline then rather than skipping over to the alternate one? Oh, that's right - "Timey-Wimey"

James Roberts but he's already changed time by giving him the book. A new path is made at that moment.

Ok, here's a flaw. Frodo was wearing his mithril armor in Shelobs caves which apparently is supposed to stop anything. Frodo was stabbed by the giant spider in his torso area. The armor Frodo was wearing should have protected him..... but didn't. Also, the part in the movie where they get ghosts to take out an entire army was kind of ridiculous. 6000 Rohan soldiers travel all that way, many of them die in the battle to defend Gondor, King Theoden also dies...... And then the ghosts show up and take out everything without busting a sweat.

don't forget the famous "why didn't they just fly the eagles to Mordor" hole

shanetheclassic they couldny because the eagles would be hunted if they flew over the land of man but could go to mordor at the end because the men had all went there

shanetheclassic because: "One man does not simply walk into Mordor"

comedyshortime but there were multiple eagles to bring multiple people, and they would fly in not walk...So you're meme doesn't apply

Most guys just don't pay attention to shoes, women do though. as another person posted, guards would not be paying attention to the floor, they would be paying attention to hands eyes, general movement.

I have to agree. I once wore two different shoes for a whole day and never noticed until I got home and took them off. I'm sure nobody else noticed either or they would've said something.

agriperma not all women notice. I sure as hell don't notice. I don't focus on shoes, or even socks. Stuff like that would definitely slip past me. Just like colors. You could mention specific colors like chartreuse, and I honestly won't know what you're talking about. Took me years to find out what color mauve was.

Particularly in 1966 it'd be pretty unlikely for someone to really look at another person's shoes. Agreed.

women usually do i don't know why, when they see other women it's kind of a profiling reflex, style, faces, shoes, body shape, they usually unconciously commenting on it, most of my girlfriends do

Also back to the future's plot hole you pointed out doesn't stand up either, Doc showed he had access to the inside of the tower & he could check the exact time to the second by checking the gears, just because it doesn't have a second hand doesn't mean it doesn't count the seconds internally, if it didn't then it wouldn't work at all. This is why studio's treat us like idiots, because you can't seem to think outside what they show you on screen in blatant fashion screaming "look at this, you see this? it's important! we'll show you it just in case you don't understand"

dpoc couldnt check the clock in the past. they got the idea from the flyer that marty picked up at the begining. mmarty would have had to have the informatioon on the second before he went back

Fuzzy Duo your Back to the Future explanation doesn't make any sense. Even if doc DID have access to the internal second hand of the clock, how would he know which second lightning was gonna hit the tower? Like the video said, he only knew it would strike at 10:04 pm, not which second in that minute. Nor did the flyer provide such info.

Actually, the flyer did provide this information. When Doc first read the flyer, he said "it says here, that a bolt of lightning would strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04pm next Saturday night" He also said during the scene with the model where he was explaining what they were going to do, "according to the flyer, at precisely'10:04pm [...] lightning will strike the clock tower". Later on in the movie he finally said the lightning would strike "in exactly 7 minutes and 22 seconds", which was him counting down to that exact time. "Precisely" = 10:04pm sharp.

echelon2k8 Have you seen or read the actual flyer? I have. Precisely isnt on the flyer anywhere nor does it mention the exact second lightning strikes. Doc just made a huge assumption that it meant at 10:04 on the nose and of course for movie reaaons, he was right.

Faffy Waffle That's the weird thing about future time travel. Futures like that would only exist WHILE you are in that time. The minute you return to your own original time (say 1985), that future would cease to exist.

Have you ever been to an used book store? Old seemingly useless books, like a sport's almanac, would be dirt cheap. So they're probably close to the same price. Unless the movie states the price of the book somewhere.

It looks like a new store, but Marty did NOT have $50 on him for that book.

Why wouldn't he have the $50 Doc gave him earlier?

Because that's the price of a Pepsi, which he ordered in the Diner?

Wade the Wilson how about the fact that future biff steals the delorean and gives past buff the almanac then is ABLE to travel back to his future. He should only be able to travel to a new future the second he gives himself the sports almanac. As a matter of fact he should be erased from existence the second he hands it over and so should the almanac. And time travel is exhausting and sensitive. And I like back to the future

It's the one glaring flaw with this video

plot hole!!

maybe because the eagle thing is the most famous plot hole in movie history and doesn't need to be addressed beyond the thumbnail? I actually once pondered starting a youtube channel fixating on plot holes called "the eagles are coming"

Leviathan 77 Sauron would've easily seen Frodo coming if they'd used the eagles and they'd be fucked. this doesnt excuse this moivie (as its never mentioned) but in the books its explained that basically the eagles don't care. Like they weren't bothered doimg that

I read both hobbit and lotr often enough. I know this. but it doesn't explain why they suddenly care at the end. I mean, it doesn't bother me as much, because we get an amazing story. but its still there.

So that's it? We're some kind of even the joker saw that the DCEU franchise was gonna be bad ?

The Major Crimes Unit (MCU) is a section within the Gotham City Police Department.

Jorge Mexicani it was a joke 😐

Ordinary no it wasn't. It was clearly thought to be a snafu. Most people wouldn't have got the MCU reference and thought they meant Marvel.

clearly, Adam said MCU because The Dark Knight is absolutely perfect, so it must have come from the Marvel side of movies.

Griffin Reviews you mean The Brain Kendrick

156imdibr Not right now. THE Brian Kendrick was in 2010.....i think

A.J Fercho they're still calling him The Brian Kendrick. It says it on their most recent Brian Kendrick upload on 205 live.

Griffin Reviews you win the internet. :)

+ Hmmm I thought it was Verbal Kint...

I always found it to be a nice little denouement to the story, a way to explain the story, but leave it open since Norman is still clearly nuts at the very end.

I think the sequels to Pycho were good at further explaining, especially the 4th one, which is an aged, married Norman calling into a radio station and telling what caused him to become what he was, he then tried killing his wife because she was pregnant and he didn’t want another “monster”, this had really nothin to do with what you’re talking about really, but still...

The whole escape is pretty contrived and requires you to just go with it for the sake of the plot of the film. He knew exactly when thunder would strike so that nobody would hear the sound of him striking the pipe with a rock?

It would have been so much simpler if, in "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE", the main villain would have been OSATO. Or, if the character in the volcano crater had been someone OTHER than Blofeld. Frankly, Roald Dahl's script for "YOLT" continues to make LESS sense to me every single time I watch what started out as one of my favorite films (as an epic visual spectacular, with incredible action, choreography, camera-work and music, it's damn-near perfect). One of the SMALL bits that annoys me more and more over time is when, completely out of the blue, Bond tells Tanaka, "No, Osato's just a front." "Who for?" "SPECTRE." At that point in the plot, he has NO reason to suspect their involvement at all!!!! Another major bit of stupidity is the way-- after SWIPING the opening sequence of "MURDERERS' ROW" with Dean Martin (they fake Matt Helm's death so his enemies will think he's dead), nearly every baddie in the film figures out Bond is still alive less than halfway thru the film. I once watched "THUNDERBALL", "OHMSS", "YOLT" and "DIAMONDS" in that order... and would believe? It "felt" more right.

He was in a hurry because he had dreamed of a time machine for the past 30 years. He now knows it works, he was simply excited. Remember, most of his other inventions are total failures. He explained that 30 years was just a nice round number based on Marty's accidental trip.

you're confusing the two movies. Doc is in a panic to get marty to the future in the second film as if he can't just travel whenever he wanted. They could have waited 29 years before they did anything and it wouldn't have made a difference.

mitch, he shows up at the very end of 1 originally. The scene is replayed as the opening of 2 but it is also the end of 1

+Cody W -- Mitch does raise an interesting point. Remember the letter Marty was going to leave Doc? Depending on how the paradox of Marty erasing his own existence worked out, Doc could have recorded the exact second lightning stuck the tower, spent the next 30 years trying to get Marty's parents together and left a a complete set of instructions for Marty in the glove compartment of the DeLorean.

And it wouldn't work. Most people's brains don't have enough processing power to even do their own thinking, let alone loan some out to augment a computer. I write the concept off as part of their fantasy universe, the machines need some sort of "psychic energy" from the humans, not actual power. That's just my rationale, nothing about it makes any sense.

Tony Hammitt The human brain is more powerful then ALL the computers on Earth right now. We have near infinite in terms of memory and processing of information. Every person in your dreams are people you have seen in real life, how many have you seen since your birth? Even the most stupid person you know, has brain power greater then all computers on Earth.

Processing power for wetware works a bit differently than for hardware. As a grossly over-simplified analogy, your central processing unit does not have the computational capability to render all the shit on screen that you see in the time it takes to refresh the entire screen, no matter what is being displayed. Similarly, your video card does not have the computational capability to search a database and update memory registers that keep track of all the stuff that its drawing on screen, sixty plus times a second, either. They both crunch numbers in different ways, so that they can get their different jobs done effectively. The video card thinks about numbers differently and has a tool set (as well as parallel processing tracks) that lets it work really fast with enormous volumes of data; whereas the CPU thinks about numbers in a way that allows it to do many different things with those numbers, but not quite as fast. Human brains are amazingly good at certain kinds of computational tasks, but really bad at others. If I asked you to give me the square root of 9, you might take a second to remember the answer or you might have to write down a few tests to get to the correct answer. It's not a problem of "wouldn't work" because "people don't have enough processing power"; it's a problem of not working because we're analog but they (machines as we understand them) are digital.

I was mostly calling out stupid people... Our brains are ours and they can do the things they can do fairly effectively, but they're really bad at sharing information. We're good at pattern recognition, which, if you could tap that, could be good for some processing functions of the machines. But the machines would have to plant the images into the brains in ways that everyone could agree on symbolization to such an extent that they could later use your pattern recognition skills to help maintain the illusion of a world. That seems cumbersome and hard to get started. I think it's simpler to write off the "energy extraction" as a plot device based entirely on fantasy world physics.

+MammonDaughter In memory sense kinda yeah, but human brains cannot do mathematical calculations nearly as fast as even basic computers.

i think since that the rainmaker recently took power they were closing all the loops because they didint need them anymore since the rainmaker can kill a bunch of people by himself if he wanted to and he was too powerful for anyone to stop him including the government

Thank you! yes, I have already thought the same. In the scene, right before he meet Agent Smith, he is sitting operating the computers and when Neo comes he gets scared. The reason why they need help from an operator to plug in, and more importantly, to plug out is because they are always escaping from agents. However, Cypher does NOT need help as he is meeting with an agent.

I thought the reason was that they needed someone to physically insert and remove the connection that goes in the back of their heads.

Precisely. These guys are engineers and programmers and hackers. Are we therefore going to assume that Cypher is a hacker yet cannot program something to get in and out of the Matrix. That's a plot hole right there.

Although it doesn't explain how, also in the considered canon Matrix MMO there were humans who didn't want to side with Zion or the Machines, and had their own private hidden terminals. It is assumed that these people sided with the Merovingian and probably stayed plugged in for very extended lengths of time, however. They wanted to remain in the matrix like Cypher, however they didn't want to forget and be able to bend the system like the Zionists. The "truce" didn't last horribly long as a cold war standoff occurred with handfuls of other parties being introduced and screwing things up.

You all are forgetting the main purpose they go back into the matrix. They are constantly searching for more people to unplug. They go in all the time. It's possible that Dozer wasn't watching Cypher 100% of the time, as he has been on the team awhile. The meeting with the agent could have started as a meeting of a "candidate" as we know agents can assume anyone at anytime.

You are correct about processing power... but they didnt change it - the studio did! As you said, they wanted to make it easier for the simple people to understand.

wait hold up. i thought humans were just conductors. not really battery but a buffer between machines malfunctioning

In the first movie, when Morpheus is telling Neo about what the Matrix really is - he actually shows a battery, while saying "... in order to turn us into this".

Morpheus isn't all-knowing he doesn't know of the previews neos....

But the cable doesn't make contact with the antenna for a full second. More like one tenth of a second, if that.

Surely Marty’s father would look at him and assume that his Mrs cheated on him with Calvin Klein!

Would he really remember the face of a guy he only met for a week or less after 30 bloody years?

Its not that he couldnt, its that he only had a few days to do it and there wasnt enough time.

The correct question is why didnt he just revise or send an addendum to his existing note to Marty to bring a tank of gas when he comes

Look at the giant machine he builds to make single ice cubes. So he doesn't have the industrial base of Rockefeller, no surprise there. It's like ridiculing people today for not owning planes.

Yep.

BggProductions not true! Watch it again. His man servant repeats it having heard him whisper it. Have you watched the movie

Milsurp Mike Chances are that he probably play with those kids, because there was a big age group. Second, it was shown Sam was already cheating on Mary and was probably going to dump her. Sam had a chick fawning over him when he he called Bedford Falls. Sam and Mary weren't even engaged.

Except that kids on the same block played with each other regardless of a few years age gap. The real flaw is that at least ONE of those other kids would have saved Harry since his brother wasn't there to do so.

Or, get a grownup to help.

I thought the same thing. What was weird for me to think about was that at one point in 1955, there were 4 Deloreans; The original, the one that old Biff took to deliver the Sports Almanac to his younger self , same one later taken by Marty and Doc Brown to 1955 to steal back the Sports Almanac, and the 4th, buried in the mine. That's a lot of flux capacitors! And another thing, when Marty "prime" returns to 1985, he learns that his parents are successful, healthy and confident (odd they would live in the same house as before but no big deal), but we know that the Alternate Marty also went back in time, creating a loop, since we see Marty Prime running up to the "Lone Pine Mall" (Previously Twin Pines Mall) and watching the drama unfold with his alternate self. Okay, fine. But Alternate Marty grew up with confident, strong parents. Imagine his shock when he goes back in time to discover his father was a nerdy weakling!

The problem was the fuel, not the line. They tried to put whiskey in the tank, but no go. It is assumed the car doc came in was also out of gas.

Kevin, you forget that future events kept changing. The doc in the past was not aware of the tombstone as it probably said a different name in the doc prime's 1955.Also, there was no "alternate Marty". Time paradoxes are tricky, but since Marty never has future knowledge (only the prime Marty sees past events), the same Marty is in all time lines.

You never know before you try, right?

Doc built a goddamn time machine, and he couldn't distill gasoline? Hell, Rockefeller was practically dumping gasoline as waste while producing kerosene in 1885.

William winder they dont they clearly hunt the humans

they decide to hunt the human because, they not just live peacefully but decide to get more men and destroy the system

The Fan Without a Face much better. Marty and the picture shouldn't fade until history becomes completely irreparable.

Maybe Marty changes last because time couldn't catch up to him as easily as time traveling has warped him from the natural flow.

I thought since his future was changing he had the most time because he was the youngest. If you look at the events as they happen, his parents get married then first child, second child and marty. So it's more like time is working forward from the 50's. Now my head hurts.

Its called the 'ripple effect' and used several times through the franchise. Marty being born LAST would mean he would be LAST to disappear as the ripple effect has to go from 1955 to the latest point in time in the future. Look at it this way. Throw a stone into a pool of water and it causes ripples. Those ripples reach out from a central point to the very end of the pool of water before they stop. The last ripple caused (Marty) would be the last ripple to reach the edge pf that pool (1985) of water. That is the ripple effect. Its really not that difficult to understand.
