Things in films I think, why would you do that ?...
Discussion
I am a fan of the King Kong films, I suppose stems from when I was a child and the old 1939 Empire State Building one was really scary in those days.
The thing that always foxes me though is this...
Your a tribe of inhabitants of an island,you share the island with 60 foot tall monster gorilla.
You are a tribes person, living inside a village, surrounded by a 70 foot wall.
Every now and then they sacrifice a woman,outside the compound to keep Kong on side so to speak,
Anyhow they go out tie up the woman and then call Kong,the excitement rises Kong is coming, the trees are shaking, and the tribes people think Christ, he's on his way lets get back inside, they all run inside the compound, drums banging people shouting,excitement rising, they all get together to heave to close the massive 70 foot high doors and push those greased tree trunks across,to bar the compound doors, and stop Kong getting in.......
My problem with this is if, the tribes people who are say 5-6 foot tall,and wanted to keep Kong out, why did they build the compound doors 70 foot tall,why didn't they just build a normal door.. big enough for them to get in and out........
Anyone else have any similar observations of films or tv

You know the bit where Indiana Jones has torun away from the huge stone ball rolling towards him?
If he actually ran towards it as it started rolling he could have ducked down between the 2 ramps the ball rolled down and he'd have been just fine :-p
...but trapped forever when the huge stone ball sealed the chamberIf he actually ran towards it as it started rolling he could have ducked down between the 2 ramps the ball rolled down and he'd have been just fine :-p
A part in Land of the Dead (happens in all Zombie type films) where a soldier is in a tower at the entrance of a gate where the zombies break through, he zip lines off the tower straight into the zombie horde path and gets mauled. He could have just stayed up there, picked off the stray zombies and survived.

...and be stuck up there until he starved to death...Similarly in the original Dawn Of The Dead one of the protagonists stops to check his blood pressure just as the zombies break into the shopping mall and suprisingly gets eaten. I get the humour but surely he should have either done it earlier or not at all!
Another one, Independance Day,they stick the president on airforce one, and he flys through the night to get to his destination.....
The campervan famillies, the presidents wife, Wills wife and everyone else drives through armegedon, and yet they all get to the same place Roswell, at the same time as the president And Will conveniently crashes there also ????????

They were coming from different sides of the continent and Roswell is nearer one side than the other...The campervan famillies, the presidents wife, Wills wife and everyone else drives through armegedon, and yet they all get to the same place Roswell, at the same time as the president And Will conveniently crashes there also ????????

people getting chased by cars / other fast moving objects, always try to run away from said object, rather then turning to the side
usually there are multiple opportunities to escape in this manner, yet they do not.
I wish they would get ran down and squished more often, fools.
Perfect example, car falling through the tree in Jurassic Park, take two steps to the left or right and avoid falling car or climb down the tree as the car falls straight towards you from above? Not too bright.usually there are multiple opportunities to escape in this manner, yet they do not.
