The end of Independence Day.

The alien fighter that Goldblum and Smith stole crashes in the desert. From the ground, there's no reasonable way to know that it was their ship, or that they are on it, alive.

So who goes out to the crash site?

The President. The Chairman of the JCS. The major who is apparently in command of Area 51. And two civilian women.

Don't forget the kid! Didn't Captain Hiller promise him some fireworks? LOLZ the whole world is dead

Not a complaint per se, but am I the only one that notices EVERY SINGLE time there is a scene involving an asphalt paved street(in a urban setting), it appears as it was just washed down.

Maybe this is a film technique of some kind.

If, as Max says, Job doesn't quote scripture, then why did Jim Phelps take the Bible from the Drake Hotel in Chicago?

There's all kinds of questions you could ask about Mission Impossible 1. My favorite part is when Ethan Hunt googles "Bible." World's greatest spy, that one.

Yeah, they've been doing that for years in movies, tv shows, even commercials. Large areas of paving (asphalt, concrete, etc.) are always wet. TCTTS could probably enlighten us a lot more but there's a reason they do it.

In general ... weapons/Star Wars related
People racking the slide on their pistol or shotgun as a way of saying "Let's go", when clearly not necessary.
Guns running out of ammo at the end of scenes with 3 rounds out of the barrel and locking back on an empty magazine.
Blood on light-saber severed arm in Mos Eisley cantina.
Han shot first, but did he shoot THROUGH the table?
Why was STUN setting only used on the Tantive IV at the beginning of SW-ANH.
The escape pod window looking back at the Star Destroyer.
...
I will think of more

My bad, you beat me to it. I always thought he just gut shot Greedo. Messy, but effective.

This.

As a software engineer, I detest the word hackers.

For me it's not the hacking or even the speed of the hacking, it's when they include some visual representation of the hacking on a screen such as jail bars opening or file images moving over a line.

And the text "sounds", right?

Why did Rounders skip the part where Damon got back square with KGB and instead jump to him being in the black?

In the claymation Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, on the Island of Misfit Toys we meet a bird that swims. At the end of the movie, Santa picks up the misfit toys in order to deliver to all the good girls and boys. During the credits one of Santa's elves is seen giving the toys umbrellas and tossing out the sleigh. Well, all except for the swimming bird who is pushed out to his death.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

this is terribly hilarious! Just shared this with the wife!

Did they really need to show Mike count out what he owed KGB and give it to him? I think the fade away of all of Mike's chips, with him looking over them, was more effective.

Another Top Gun one, they recycled a couple jet maneuver scenes multiple times.

Understandable because of difficulty getting those shots.

What really annoys me is how so many movies reuse sound effects within seconds of each other. Especially during fights when the actors are grunting or other action sequences.

The fact that they are the exact same sound used over again is painfully obvious

Something that always annoyed me with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade came early on, when they have just arrived in Venice. IJ, the blonde gal, and Brody are walking across a big courtyard toward a "library" when Brody says the building looks more like a church. The scene then cuts to this same group inside the library, where the blonde says that the building is a church. This is a case of bad editing - what did this group do while walking, after Brody says it looks like a church, then they were quiet until they actually got into the building and then resumed the conversation?

While I get what you're saying, I think it would've been better just to reduce the number of scenes vs reusing the same shot. And some of them were within a minute of each other.

In Moana, Maui says he needs a boat to get off the island, then sings that he can do anything but float, but when he gets annoyed with Moana and the quest, he jumps off the boat and starts swimming away.

I get that it takes away from the realism and is annoying. I'm just saying it's understandable.

With noises though, it's not that difficult to come up with a similar but different noise for scenes so that it's not blatantly obvious that you are using the same sound more than once. I notice it all the time in movies, even big budget ones.

But KGB says that Mike is dead if he loses the final hand. Why are they going to kill him if he's square with KGB?

He isn't square at that point. He had the money to pay off KGB earlier, but KGB goaded him into putting it back on the table. So if Mike lost the last hand, he was out all of it and the deadline was that morning.
