English Motherfucker posted a statusI thought we should have a thread specifically for discussing plot holes we might have noticed in movies, along with other things we might have questions about. This thread is just for fun, as some of the questions we have may not even have answers.
Here's something I've wondered: in The Ring (if I understand correctly), after a person watches the tape, they get a phone call telling them that they're going to die in seven days. But suppose that person is stranded some place where they have a TV and a VCR (maybe one of those portable TVs), but they aren't near any phones (including cell phones). If the ghost can't make the call, will they still die in seven days, or will the ghost wait until they get to a working phone to make the call? I should note that I never saw the second movie (I thought the first one was overrated).

Permalink Reply by Clearsky38 on January 4, 2012 at 1:27am I think Lucius was joking about the dog thing. The new suit might have been designed to handle greater impact to a degree providing she landed on top of him. Also Batman's cape probably helped slow the two of them down enough (I'm guessing), the cab they both landed on would be quite a bit softer than the side-walk (shocks, tires, body)
As for the helicopter, I figured that the assault rifle the guy was using has a limited (effective range) so they had to get lower to engage a target. (joker knew that and planned for it)

The M16A2 fires a 5.56mm round with an effective target range of 550 meters and an effective area range of 800 meters.
He could have been standing on top of the Sears Tower and had range to spare.
Personally I'd like to know why they only had one helicopter...

This was the first thing that got me. It was said that in the previous movie, by Lucius, that "this sucker will stop a knife". Immediately in the next movie, the suit easily gets bitten through by a dog. I understand the biting force of a dog is quite considerable but putting how much force is exerted aside, I assume that if a man (who engages in moderate exercise) is trying to puncture the suit by stabbing it and the suit is strong enough to slow down the knife and the man pushing it in to a point where it is rendered ineffective in such a short amount of time, how is it that a dog can bite clean through it?

The Dark Knight: What does Joker do after Batman jumps out of Wayne Tower to save Rachel. He's got a building full of unarmed rich people and Harvey somewhere in there. Why does he just bail?
