What are some of the things in movies that make you wonder why the characters are doing it for? For example, in The Mummy (1999), why put a curse on a guy who could come back and be a plague on the world? Why not just find some other way to punish the guy?

You are a supervillain who has captured James Bond.
Do you...
a) tie a rope to him, throw him off the back of your boat and drag him repeatedly over a coral reef?
b) tie him to a table and activate a slow moving laser bear which will eventually disect him?
c) lock him in a room which will soon be filled with the fiery blast of a rocket's engines?
d) shoot him. In the head. Twice for good measure.
How come Bond villains never choose option D?

In Godzilla Raids Again, they bury Godzilla in ice/snow and just assume he's dead.
I'm sorry, when I'm fighting something as absurd as a 400 foot tall Nuclear Dinosaur I'm not going to just assume that an avalanche is going to kill him.
In fact, I'm probably not going to assume anything until I see the monster's rotting corpse. This kinda goes for all movies with a supposed "assumed defeat" in them.
Come on people, get some verification beyond "Meh, nothing could survive that!"

Horror films:
People split up into groups (for whatever reason). At the beginning of the movie I can understand - but when they know they are being hunted by a killer? Duh.
You get someone like Jason. You shoot him, set him on fire, etc....but he keeps getting up. Why not just hack him into pieces? Tommy should have known better. "Oh let's toss him into the lake again, that'll do the trick".

I remember in one Scream movie, they were in an accident and the girl was conscious, but the Scream killer was out cold. Why not grab his knife and cut off his head? It's not like he was holding it or anything. Also in horror movies...why does the little tiny killer gain more super strength and invincibility than Superman, Hulk, Thor, and Wonder Woman combined? Sorry, but the "odd ball kid" or the "98 pound I always get picked on kid" aren't going to beat the 300 lb jock who gets 10 sacks a game just because they have on a fancy costume and carry a butcher knife. |
