The most advanced universal translators can successfully translate Vulcan and Romulan languages into Federation standard English but cannot handle thick Russian accents.
That's a wery good point ~ IcyNeko / link

Never ignore nerds or geeks with creative ideas, they come back at you with a vengence.
I think they should have learn't that in batman forever. ~ qwkslvr / link

Stark has all types of armor suit weapons for any situation, but he never ever thought about equipping his house with any sort of defense system from even straight forward missile attacks.
That from a guy who till recently made his living from building missiles. ~ qwkslvr / link

The Ewoks made a dress for Leia... George Lucas has explicitly stated there is no underwear in space... dude, I think the ewoks totally saw Leia naked...
lucky furry bastards ~ nee / link

Wookiees make excellent peace offerings to intergalactic mob bosses.
Only if it comes with a thermal detonator. ~ nee / link

The Dictatores and Terrorist Leaders you see on TV are only Scapecoats. They actually are british Actors with a drug problem who sit in a fancy Villa with minimal security watching Soccer games in there Bathrobes.
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or think it was a slap to the face of comic book followers. ~ agentdc7 / link

Apparently 2027 didn't have the tech to have Terminator go back in time with infinite cash.
Infinite cash? They couldn't even send a pair of speedos with him. ~ qwkslvr / link

Your landlady has no problem opening your door to FedEx employees carrying boxes labelled "poison" and other highly suspicious words.
If fedex didn't have any problems, why should she? ~ qwkslvr / link

If a crashing ship is about to roll on you, run parallel with the path it's going rather than off to the side.
I love how she tripped, then got away by rolling over a few feet. ~ Meushell / link

The aliens on the other planet will surely be happy to welcome Dr Shaw. After all it's not like they were going to destroy humanity the last time.
Lol. It could have been a rouge group. She's probably doomed though. ~ Meushell / link

Bird poop works just as well as hair gel!
That's all I ever think about when I saw that guy. ~ agentdc7 / link

Jon Voight makes everything better.
He couldn't save Ned Beatty from being rapped by hilbillys now could he. ~ Max / link

Paralegals make $11 an hour and apparently are able to own a house with no child support.
You forgot the child, music lessons, and weekly drinks at the bar ~ nee / link

It is almost guaranteed that about the only thing scary in this film is a dead guy with his eyes poked out.
Blood and gore doesn't make a horror movie. If anything it makes the movie less scary and more goofy . Horror comes from suspense and shock (and I don't mean jump scares). ~ Max / link

The future military will have coed showers.
sign me up! ~ nee / link

Prozium does not keep one from being a complete kiss ass.
Well spotted....LMAO ~ Movie Genius / link

The Magic Mirror might not know how to answer the question, "does this cape make me look fat?"
This is one of the best learnings - hilarious! XD ~ Movie Genius / link

No one made the connection that when Batman disappeared so did Bruce Wayne.
Must be some kind of coincidence :) ~ Movie Genius / link

If you and your groomsmen are late to a wedding, passing a tuxedo company van on the freeway who happens to have tuxes fitted for you can be a plus.
Damn, I accidently voted it up. You should know that your learning is bad and you should feel bad. ~ randy / link

It takes a total of five roofies to knock out a tiger.
not for too long, though ~ randy / link

The thousands of police officers descending into the tunnels carrying assault rifles, shotguns, explosives, and ballistic armor emerge with a handful of pistols, no armor, and pristine uniforms, primed and ready to ignore their urban focused training, shun cover and tactics, form into tightly bunched lines in front of enemies with automatic weapons and tanks and march stoicly forward into a rain of bullets, and end up losing approximately 5 men.
The dumbest scene in this movie, indeed. ~ randy / link

When you're being chased by nine blind dudes with swords, put pillows on your beds so that when they stab in the bed, they think they killed you.
Yep. Aragorn is the master of pranks. ~ randy / link

Uh oh, my coffee is acting trippy, I must be by a black hole!
you can edit you learnings, you know ~ randy / link

A race that could only put up a 9 minute fight during the initial invasion will be able to take back their planet in less than 48 hours with the same technology and only an eighth of the manpower.
Eighth of the manpower? There was just a bunch of savages as far as I know... ~ randy / link

Jon Voight makes everything better.
I personally hate Jon Voight ~ randy / link

How does Doc Ock survive punches to the face from Spiderman who can hold up a building? The doc was a mortal with robot tentacles on his back.
you dont get this site, do you ~ randy / link

He's Batman. He can survive getting shot in the head, with no consequences other than being unconscious for a few hours.
After a while, I actually read somewhere that there's a big chunk of deleted scenes that involves him getting amnesia temporarily and then remembering. ~ agentdc7 / link

Batman may be the first guy in the world ever to smile after being turned down for sex by a woman as scorching hot as Chase Meridian.
It's a Schumacher thing. ~ agentdc7 / link

Bat-Credit Card. What were the writers smoking to come up with that?
Bat-weed. ~ agentdc7 / link

Aliens want gold too.
Certainly true for Cortex Command. ~ kvn8907 / link

Split head zombie dogs won't attack you if you stand perfectly still.
they were ordered not to attack ~ LenzsLaw / link

Jason Statham had to do a you-blink-and-you-miss kind of cameo in this movie.
What? ~ bourbonphantom / link

It only took a few people to stop and destroy the alien attackers while everybody else in the world just carried on with their normal lives.
Actually, according to the news in the movie, they took the opportunity to riot. Which, come to think of it, is the stupidest thing to do when there is what, at the time, was a localized threat. It made about as much sense as, say, people in South Africa rioting because an earthquake hit Chile. ~ kvn8907 / link

In the 74 years of the Hunger Games, apparently there's never been a lucky tribute who wasn't present at the reaping. Because let's face it - that would just be awkward.
They sign in. ~ elphie / link

Ripping off other movies and books will make your movie millions from mostly 13 year old girls.
You do realize that just because someone else wrote a book that had a similar premise does not in fact make it a ripoff. Battle Royale is hardly the first book about people fighting to the death in an arena. Ever take a look at history? The original Blood Games faught during the Roman Empire? ~ NateSean / link

People that have not read the books do not understand plot nuances.
Nor should they have to. Movies and books are seperate mediums and should stand on their own. ~ NateSean / link

A mother in Panem will barely even flinch when her daughter is pretty much sentenced to die.
In their defense, that's the life they're forced to live. ~ NateSean / link

I love how, when Pepper's keycard won't get her into Obadiah's hidden lab, Agent Coulson very casually puts his hand out and gets a bomb put in it. Without even turning around, or saying anything.
thats cos agent coulson is the man ~ mr cool / link

Don't use a cattle prod if you're standing in a puddle and a chimp is aiming a fire hose at you.
That advice is much too specific. ~ kvn8907 / link

Applying brain-enhancing therapy to animals (apes, sharks, dogs...) ALWAYS goes wrong. Virus-based gene therapy ends up either creating zombies or wiping out the human race... or both.
When the scientist said he created an Alzheimer's cure, but as testing it on animals first, I nearly shouted at the screen, "What? Haven't you seen the movie Deep Blue Sea?" ~ kvn8907 / link

If you were a super-intelligent ape, you'd want to so desperately live in a forest without fruit trees or any other type of food substance that not only would you cross the heavily-trafficked Golden Gate Bridge to get there, but you'd apparently pass right through tree-laden Golden Gate Park, possibly through tree-laden Lincoln Park and finally through the tree-laden Presidio, not to mention the gargantuan tree-laden foothills of the San Francisco Fish and Game Refuge bordering San Bruno WHERE THE PRIMATE SHELTER WAS LOCATED!
Maybe he found a tree he really liked, grew attached to it, and named it. Called it Barkley. No other tree would do. ~ kvn8907 / link

Smartness drugs will make you able to lead a rebellion TELEPATHICALLY!
Yep. Even with the help of zoo primates that have never smelled a whiff of smart gas. ~ kvn8907 / link

If you're infected with a deadly new virus, keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone. Don't bother trying to get help immediately and let it spread to everyone you come into contact with.
In the scene where his fat coworker is like "Chimps have a great immune system. I, however, am coming down with a cold" or something to that effect, my response was "That has to be the shittiest, least secure company in the world. No one should trust that company with anything that can't be seen by the naked eye." ~ kvn8907 / link

Even if you don't have the throat structure for speech, you can still learn to talk if you're smart enough.
Here I thought I was the only one a little bothered by that, since I took a semester of Human Evolution and we spent at least one full class on comparative throat structure. ~ kvn8907 / link

Rocky + Over The Top + Transformers + a dollop of shlt = Real Steel Oh sorry! No need for the dollop of shlt, Over The Top already has that covered.
Dude that is hilarious! ~ mrlitl / link

Some Mars aliens look like...well, aliens while others look like humans from Earth except their blood is blue!
Human blood is blue inside . ~ Max / link

Don't touch God's stuff. He will either suck you out like a vacuum, blow off your head, or melt your face.
God will melt your face if you even look at his stuff, but he loves you. ~ Max / link

Use a real 17 year-old actor instead of a 27 year-old one.
At least Tobey Maguire was more convincing as an outcast than Garfield who I think was too attractive looking to be an outcast. It's high school. Everyone judges by plain appearance. If your not attractive looking, you'll have no friends. If you look attractive, but a jerk, you'll have tons of friends still. It's how high school works. ~ Max / link

Jon Voight makes everything better.
Transformers by Michael Bay had no potential to begin with. Jon Voight can't save us here. ~ Max / link

Can Buffy and Van Helsing make a cameo and kill all of these people.
Hugh Jackman or Peter Cushing Van Helsing? ~ Max / link

Take one of the greatest action films ever made, take what made it great, and rape it. Rape it to death. Take the realism of the first three movies and just rape it. People are stupid, right? They won't know the difference. Just slap Die Hard on the title. They won't mind.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. It was a rape. Like running into an old friend and quickly realizing he's become a meth-head. ~ AshBlaze / link

The password to the mainframe of your gameworld is probably the Contra 30 lives code.
You know, because kids these days love the NES. ~ Max / link

Had to get that out of my system. If you liked the movie, that's fine. ~ Max / link

Machines are smart enough to speak English, yet they are not smart enough to know who is the leader of the APU's and kill him first, instead he's almost the last they kill.
That's the theme in most sc-fi movies. ~ qwkslvr / link

Apparently in the future, machines don't have access to a single picture of their main nemesis. I suppose Google's world domination efforts didn't go that well.
I meant the picture of their main nemesis's mother. ~ qwkslvr / link

Being on PCP allows you to punch through windshields.
without feeling any pain ~ username / link

After a while, Terminators will smell like dead cats.
if injured ~ username / link

So, did Valtane die (as in the Voyager flashback episode), or *didn't* he? Because he was very much alive at the end of Star Trek VI.
SciFi Debris covered that in his review. You should check it out. ~ NateSean / link

Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character, was apparently an ancestor of Spock's. Good to know.
Or, as Sherlock Holmes was based on this person, Spock's ancestor may have been Doctor Joseph Bell. ~ NateSean / link

Humans believe Shakespeare was one of them; Klingons believe Shakespeare was one of them... surely, that sort of thing has to be independently verifiable.
I just can't wait for the new Doctor Who/Trek crossover comics to make a reference. ~ NateSean / link

People in the future are apparently accustomed to giant Lycans jumping all over and around moving cars.
Sort of justified by the opening scenes and the fact that the police have an alert for non-human aggressors. ~ NateSean / link

Selena can land gracefully on her feet when falling straight down from extreme heights, but rolling off the top of an 18-wheeler just knocks her right out.
In fairness, she wasn't prepared for the truck to stop. ~ NateSean / link

I believe I saw this movie before, but it was called "Blade 2."
Except that Underworld: The Awakening was whiter than a polar bear convention in a snow storm. ~ NateSean / link

After 200 years, the keys to being successful in the Fishing Business are exactly the same.
Go to sea. Catch fish. Can fish. Sell fish. Not terribly complicated. ~ NateSean / link

If you need to get home the good witch will give the most dangerous route home and just tell you the easy way home that only takes a few seconds after you already made it through the hard way. Biggest plot hole in movie history, I think.
It's only a plot hole if you believe the "Good Witch" wasn't using Dorothy to take out the only other threat to her power. ~ NateSean / link

The writers apparently had so little respect for Deep Space Nine that not only did it not get a movie, but the Defiant appeared for two minutes here just to get its tail kicked.
And it was built to fight the Borg lol ~ mr cool / link

For wearing sunglasses in class, you get detention, but the teacher will still let you wear them.
Exactly! ~ Totally R3allistic / link

Middle aged Indian chemists make horrible drivers.. they will recklessly drive a white van full of sleeping people across a city, do 360 degree offroad spins, and arrive at a drawbridge just to end up plunging into the river
Considering the circumstances, he did pretty well. All the cab driving experience paid off. ~ qwkslvr / link

Alfred Pennyworth helped to create dream navigating. Scarecrow is the heir to a power tycoon. And "Ras Al Ghul" is a rival power tycoon.
And Robin works with Bane and Jack dawson ~ qwkslvr / link

"M" is a man and Moneypenny is a woman. Things are finally back to normal in the James Bond universe.
when was moneypenny a man? ~ qwkslvr / link

If only the aliens had AVG, McAfee, or Kapersky anti-virus; they would own the planet.
Or atleast a decent operating system. Not windows 3.1 ~ qwkslvr / link

M has apparently been ejected before and is not bothered at all by the notion of it.
I think she secretly wanted a pre mature ejection from Bond. ~ john2012 / link

It is really safe to be given a suitcase that probably has about a few million euros in it.
Given any day a million Euros will be worth about 10 cents ~ john2012 / link

It is entirely possible to put a valuable diamond in someone's coat pocket, have that jacket go through every imaginable thing under the sun and still have that same diamond in your pocket at the end of the movie. Nevermind that you went for several swims, ran around a sinking ship for almost an hour, climbed to the top of a vertically standing vessel through a crowd of people falling to their deaths, and were sucked under water by the force of a ship weighing several tons (all while still wearing the jacket.)
Hilarious... and true. :) Nice one. ~ blacksparrow65 / link

Don't use a hammer made to magically fix things to break out of a jail cell.
Fixing things isn't the solution to everything, remember that. ~ Movie Genius / link

When you're trying to convince your co-workers that you're not really bad and just want a piece of cake, it's probably not a good idea to lose your temper and smash said cake.
Yeah, but it's also not a good idea to frustrate him since he is much bigger than everyone else and will likely beat the hell out of you. ~ Movie Genius / link

If Fix-It Felix's magic hammer can fix anything, including his face when someone punches it, couldn't it have fixed Vanellope's glitch?
Surely that's the type of thing that can't fix everything. I mean, just because it's a magic hammer it can suddenly fix everything? Maybe her glitch was more than just her physical appearance. ~ Movie Genius / link

Pressurized doors can only be propped open by 2 people. No one else is allowed to help.
Nope not at all. We just have to see Terry Crew's biceps. ~ agentdc7 / link

Pressurized doors can only be propped open by 2 people. No one else is allowed to help.
Noone is allowed to wedge a steel machine gun between them either. ~ bourbonphantom / link

There's a reason Gene Hackman wanted nothing to do with this film.
He was actually upset at the producers for firing Richard Donner from the 2nd one. Same thing with Margot Kidder, which is why she's more of a cameo. ~ agentdc7 / link

The Richard Donner Cut is better.
Yes, much better, even if it's partially incomplete. ~ agentdc7 / link

Dropping a nuclear bomb in the ocean won't cause a tsunami
Some nuclear devices were tested in the ocean, with no resulting tsunami. ~ Pleiades Rising / link

Stock exchanges are places where people steal money.
Unethical dealings in the stock market? Unthinkable! ~ Pleiades Rising / link

Why hire Owen Wilson for three minutes of dialogue is beyond me.
Because he likes Wes Anderson. ~ Wujek Spenser / link

Andrew can pull apart pieces of a spider, and can pull teeth out of someone's mouth, but can't pull the disease out of his dying mother.
LOL Negative 5 ~ bourbonphantom / link

The "alien" at the end is a result of a man infected with black stuff that had sex with a woman who gave birth to a squid alien that face raped an engineer.
They come from a completely different portfolio of intellectual property. ~ bourbonphantom / link

The "alien" at the end is a result of a man infected with black stuff that had sex with a woman who gave birth to a squid alien that face raped an engineer.
So where do Predators come from then? ~ bigred3002 / link

A broken back can be healed enough in about 3 months that if you fall repeatedly from a great height with a rope tied around your body, gravity and said rope won't cause your back to break again. In fact, if your back has ever been broken, it will heal stronger than a person's back that's never been broken.
Don't forget that it will also heal cartilage in knees. ~ bigred3002 / link

One nuclear bomb would have ended the movie.
A nuke through the shield? Did I mention there was an impenetrable shield? ~ bigred3002 / link

Bedding random women you don't know will never result in serious consequences (stds, etc.).
Menstruation does not exist either. ~ bourbonphantom / link

Bedding random women you don't know will never result in serious consequences (stds, etc.).
STDs do not exist in the Bond universe. Not even herpes. ~ bourbonphantom / link

A bow and arrow is a good weapon because it is silent.
....True.... ~ Max / link

So, its okay to show Dad getting killed, but even come close to the word "fart" and the whole number comes to a screeching halt.
Lol. As a kid, I thought there was some adult joke I wasn't getting. Turned out to be just a fart joke. That was disappointing. ~ Meushell / link

Bond didn't sleep with this girl. Can't believe it!
That doesn't explain Strawberry Fields. ~ bourbonphantom / link

Dominic is a really bad ass name for a villain.
Says you, of course. ~ agentdc7 / link

I'm starting to wonder how Bond got into M's house.
Twice. He did it in Casino Royale. ~ john2012 / link

Bond didn't sleep with this girl. Can't believe it!
Still getting over Vesper. ~ john2012 / link

Jaws did not qualify for Hugo Drax's master race.
He should have been nice to jaws and let him knock up each of the girls so he could have a race of enforcers to keep the others inline. ~ john2012 / link

Of all villains in the whole James Bond series, Hugo Drax had the stupidest plan.
And the worst accent. ~ john2012 / link
