Cars - Who re-stacked the tires big Red knocks over twice?
The Core - Why would the crew of a subterranean drilling submarine headed to the planets core need space suits?
Amergeddon - What possessed NASA to install a mini gun on their asteroid drilling rig?

Chook.

This is probably a well known fact but i'll say it anyway... Fast and the Furious movies and the infinite gears in the cars...

Rocky 4 - when he's training in Siberia or wherever in the middle of winter. He's either indoors or wearing a heavy coat outdoors, but when the fight comes around he takes off his robe and he has a deep tan. Sorry man, I can accept a bum beating a world class athlete like Apollo creed or a drugged up super fighter like drago but don't give me that

Transformers 4. Optimus Prime spends an agonizing amount of time helping the humans get the whatever bomb away from the city by land, and then when all the excitement is over he takes it and just blasts off into space.

Sex and the city - we're supposed to believe there are people who are voluntarily interested in engaging in coitus with Sarah Jessica Puker?

Batman Begins - Bruce Wayne refuses to execute the caged criminal in Ra's Al Ghul's compound and instead burns it to the ground, killing the caged criminal in the process.

My sicko friends and I used to religiously watch Beverly Hills 90210. We'd just get heavily stoned and rip it apart for an hour. You have no idea how much fun that was ...

Like, I still want to know how the nerd that was f**king Tori Spelling (ewwww) ended up becoming a cocaine addict after having 2 lines. Ahhhh Aaron Spelling, the ultimate purveyor of shit.

Young Einstein. Young Albert blows up the beer shed while discovering the mass energy equivalence equation. Yet he's able to present his old man with a perfect schooner of beer

LOTR - Frodo and Sam risk life and limb to throw the ring into Mt Doom and are rescued by big eagles.

Why didn't Gandalf just get the eagles to deliver the ring?

Anyway I loved LOTR. I'm glad it turned out the way it did. Sauron was an arsehole.

Tolkien explained this back when he was alive.

1. The eagles aren't servants, they don't do anybody's bidding. They help out when/if they feel like it.

2. Sauron would be on the lookout for powerful creatures like the eagles trying to attack Mordor by air. Little hobbits are experts at going unnoticed.

Its still a pretty weakk explanation, the Eagles are a classic Deus ex machina.Whenever Tolkein needs to get someone out of a sticky situation he just writes in the eagles turning up. Twice in the Hobbit, twice in LoTR. It's as if they just hang about in the sky looking for a moment to hog the glory and be heroes.

Tolkien truly is the Bob Fulton of literature

In Grease the big race down Thunder Road was for "pinks" aka ownership papers. But the scarfaced loser of that race rocks up to the Rydell High Dance in the car, obviously still the owner.

Another, with Grease: it was Kenickie's car but Danny Zuko steals the song of Greased Lightnin'.

I think in the stage production, it's Kenickie's big number.
