Bits of films that make no sense
Discussion
Watched Iron Man 2 the other night. Surely a major plot point of the films is that the suits are powered by the arc reactor in his chest (see the first Iron Man film where he has to use the old reactor and runs out of power)?
So what the hell is powering the suit Rhody takes?
So what other films have you watched and wondered if the writer or director had even read the rest of the script?

An Arc reactor that is built into the suit.
Lol, an arc reactor also powers the suit that Mickey Rourke wore with the electro whips in IM2 and it's just part of the suit too. Having it embedded in your chest is optional, not a pre-requisite. Tony Stark only does it because he already has a big whole in his chest, he also uses it to power the magnet that is keeping shrapnel from entering his heart and probably thought it just looked cool. Lots of films have plot holes but this isn't one of them. Jefferson Steelflex said:
I'm probably being stupid, but i can never understand the scene in Die Hard when John McClane meets Hans Gruber and Gruber pretends to be someone called Bill Clay (as he saw that name on the employee board).
How does McClane know he's not Bill Clay? Never understood it.
Or what is an employee directory board doing up at the top of the building?How does McClane know he's not Bill Clay? Never understood it.

Good one, I've never been able to figure it out either! How does McClane know he's not Bill Clay? Never understood it.

It's been a while since I've seen it but if in a siege situation with loads of highly professional bad guys running around the place then it would be fairly foolish to hand a loaded gun to some stranger you've just met. Especially so when that stranger is hanging around where the explosives to blow the roof are set and as 'Bill CLay' states he's never really shot a gun, giving him one with no bullets probably isn't going to make much difference in a fire fight but may encourage him to reveal himself if he is in fact a bad guy.How does McClane know he's not Bill Clay?

Not knowing for sure whether he's Bill Clay or not McLane gives him an unloaded gun just in case. This proves to be a wise decision when Clay starts speaking German into his walkie talkie confirming McLane's instinct to be cautious. That's my take anyway.How does McClane know he's not Bill Clay?

Yes, as above, Bruce is just generally suspicious; why is this guy on the roof? How did he get there? Why is he in fancy European tailoring? So he uses the empty pistol as a test.
While we're on the theme: die hard 2. Much of the dramatic tension comes from the planes running out of fuel. But no plane would ever arrive at an airport without sufficient fuel to reach an alternate. If Holly's plane was likely to be running on fumes by the time they were on the approach, they would already have diverted.

If you're going to start attacking Die Hard 2 on points that make no sense, we're in for a long haul! While we're on the theme: die hard 2.
