- The gun in the sand that just magically appeared would not just magically fall into your hands off the earth when you stomp on it

- Tom Cruise is NOT cool; whereas the movie thinks he is cool

I would state some of the other 1000s of flaws, but thankfully, lsd, pot, and alcohol have allowed me to erase some of the memories of that crappy crappy movie.

I just can't stand movies that leave me with so many unanswered questions.. it puts me into an infinite loop of frustration.
To add to this list... an SUV cannot possibly catch up to a sportbike like that... no matter how hard they try...

Not so much a goof as just something that bothers me to no end along the line of the "neverending magazine" is the way certain characters in a movie will cock a weapon repeatedly; yet you never see a live round fly out of the gun, you never hear it hit the deck, they just cock it to be cool and appear "deadly". Be it a pistol or shotgun there is never a reason to pass up a chance to make the cool scary noises of cocking a weapon.

Super duper cop cool guy with bad attitude pulls pistol and cocks it menacingly while walking toward bad guy. Super duper cop cool guy with bad attitude threatens bad guy for information while cocking gun again menacingly in bad guys face. Bad guy tells super duper cop with bad attitude "You'll never get anything from me copper!" Super duper cop with bad attitude again cocks gun and places barrel in bad guys mouth while saying something pithy like "You wanna talk now?" Bad guy gets scared look in eyes and motions that yes, he'd LIKE to say something BUT there's a gun in his mouth. Super duper cop cool guy with bad attitude removes gun from said bad guys mouth. Bad guy tells super duper cop cool guy with bad attitude "I can't tell you or he'll (ostensibly the bad guy's REALLY bad boss) kill me!" Super duper cop cool guy with bad attitude cocks gun YET AGAIN and says more suave dialog along the lines of "What do you think I'LL DO???"

Not to go off on a minor rant or anything, but... damn.

S.

If I recall correctly, Kyle Reese racked the slide on his shotgun (Those with dirty minds, feel free to make light of this) three times before he finally shot a round in "The Terminator."

Also, in "Commando" when Arnold pushes that little yellow car back over and drives away, the side it had been laying on was untouched.

Fellowship of the ring when frodo and sam are first leaving in the corn or wheat field or whatever it is you can see a car going by in the backgroud

Near the end when Sam jumps into the water, Frodo pulls him up and they are both dry (IIRC). Must have been the ring...

That pissed me off too.

You fortunately did not see the movie "Need for Speed" where every one was yelling "He's got Naws!" (NoS - Nitrous Oxide) It was truely annoying! 🙁

No it was Fast and the Furious. It was nos they said. They never said Naws. I have watched that movie a lot, Im positive they said NOS.
