In The Lost World: Jurassic Park what killed the crew on board the freighter that brought the T-Rex to San Diego?

The T-Rex was sedated and locked below deck until it crashed. Everyone above was killed to the point of having severed hands.

How?

I've read that there's speculation to this but there doesn't seem to be anything filmed or written to support that.
Yeah, I think the general consensus is that they had the Rex tranqed but didn't know dosage, so gave it amphetamines to save but again messed the dosage so it woke up and started causing havok meanwhile a fatally wounded crew member managed to lock it in the hold probably with more tranqs.

I always just assumed the t-rex woke up on the journey and killed everyone but I guess I never really thought about it much since 1997.

I don't know why Batman had to take the heat for the murdered cops at the end of the Dark Knight. Gotham City was under siege; I don't think anyone would question who was responsible for their deaths when the Joker and his henchman were running roughshod and blowing up half the city.

Did he hear him blow the whistle at the end of Prisoners?

I hope not.

Edit: They filmed an extended scene of him actually finding him. So yes he did technically speaking. I've always felt Jackman was deserving of not being found based on the way he acted throughout the film, even though he was justified he really shouldn't have fucked around on his own.

I always wondered what kind of diplomatic clusterfuck Lethal Weapon 2's third act would have caused.

Why does the FBI guy at the end of The Jackal (1997 film) go to buy coffee?
My sister claims she fell asleep during the movie, also she was pretty young, but I'll NEVER let her live down that she asked that question after the movie ended

a parallel universe
He thinks he hears something, then he shrugs it off, then he looks like he swears he hears something again and it ends. I guess you can say he hears it but its still left pretty open IMO. Did he shrug it off again? Did wolverine keep blowing the whilste? who knows. I think the intention was to leave it open like that and not have you thinking hes getting rescued. That was my takeaway anyway.

edit: I actually just watched a breakdown of the ending and I changed my mind. They wanted you to think he was getting rescued. huh.. I didn't think that until just now. But is he going to jail??

Great movie anyway and great ending.

If he's going to have a past, he prefers it to be multiple choice.


In Spider-Man 2, if Octavius need either Peter or MJ to lure Spidey, why did he throw a car at them?

In Spider-Man 3, why didn't MJ tell Peter that Harry was blackmailing her into breaking up with him? She was being blackmailed with the idea that if she didn't break up with him, Peter would die. this despite the fact that Peter had already beaten Harry after being ambushed while keeping track of an engagement ring. How hard would it have been to whisper it to him while they were talking face to face out of Harry's earshot or have it written on her palm or some shit?

Not a movie, but something that always bothered me from the Simpsons:

Why did Milhouse have the bowl, Era? Why did he have the bowl?!

Then why didn't he just kill her?

In Transformers: Dark of the Moon.


Why did the bird decepticon stay low key after killing the Asian guy but decided to go all out and fuck the place up when the dude was figuring out the "copier"?

How did Luke learn the Jedi Mind Trick in ROTJ?
Luke already learned about it from observing a Jedi Master using it in A New Hope, and then in the following movie Luke received Jedi training from another Jedi Master. They're not even close to the same thing, as it plays out in Force Awakens is incredibly dumb and would've benefitted from a reworking of the scene (maybe Rey accidentally does it by yelling at the storm trooper to let her go while she is in that state of extreme duress, or something similar).

Wait, you're telling me in the the years in between a new hope and return of the Jedi where Luke was training with two Jedi Master on top of training on his own is not comparable to Rey learning it in the fly hours after she learns the Force is real? Naaah

But they're the same thing, and as implied earlier I'm just being low key sexist! I ain't slick!

Luke gets told by a ghost to "Use the Force" and to shoot a laser in tiny hole. Nobody trained him for that.

Rey has an awakening and channels it through her feelings just like Luke did.


This argument always comes across like a scapegoat. Luke sees Obi Wan do it. Nobody teaches him. Yoda doesn't teach him it either. If you say it happens offscreen, thats convenient. Same convenience of Rey possibly having a voice telling her to do something that isn't telegraphed explicitly in the film.

Luke shows up one day and apparently he's a Jedi Master after initially failing and cutting his training short with Yoda.

I think people think too much about Star Wars. Its not that deep. Luke is same chosen prodigy trope that Rey is.

I agree, it's not that deep. However, one scenario is more logically consistent given how the story had played out up to that point, while the other scenario is much less so, especially if what was posited in Last Jedi about Rey's unimportant parentage is true. I like the idea of her as a character, but so far the actual writing and direction of her character has been partly shit, partly middling, rarely good.
