Oldboy picture

Stupidity: Oldboy finds the right Blue Dragon restaurant that the prison uses. But him running after the delivery boy doesn't make sense. How does he know the delivery boy is going to the prison? He knows it's the right takeaway, but that's all he knows. So, would he have a moped, bicycle, or car ready to use surely? The takeaway is a long way from the prison (as he says himself in narration), so he wouldn't just wait around for a moped delivery to run after, especially as a good chance he wouldn't be able to keep up.

Stupidity: Why would Stanley say the shoes fell out of the sky? It happened under a bridge. Any normal person would instantly realise someone threw them off the bridge.

Suggested correction: It's an idiom/expression. When something turns up out of nowhere, we say "it came/fell from the sky." In fact, Mr. Sir says this to Stanley when he finds Stanley with his empty bag of sunflower seeds, "Where did this come from? Did it fall from the sky?" Obviously a sarcastic way of saying, "it didn't get there by itself, someone put it there." So the shoes obviously fell from the bridge and Stanley knows this because Zero refers to the bridge later in the movie.

Stupidity: In the Iceberg Lounge scene, Batman saves Batwoman from the Penguin...but also Penguin from himself, because shooting a missile at less than a couple meters of distance would have involved him in the blast as well. (00:37:35)
