Plot hole: It makes no sense that Martin would be getting the invitation to the reunion mailed to his office (or to anywhere else.) He's had zero contact with the alumni committee, and they're not going to hire a private detective to find him. He also doesn't have contact with anyone else from his hometown who might have forwarded it; his father's dead, and his mother's not in her right mind. There's no explanation for why it would have ended up there except for needing to set the plot in motion.
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
1 plot hole
Directed by: George Armitage
Starring: John Cusack, Dan Aykroyd, Joan Cusack, Minnie Driver
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Blank goes into the DJ booth to talk to his high school girlfriend, every time the camera goes back and forth to her, her necklace is twisted and then untwisted.
Debi Newberry: You're a psychopath.
Martin Blank: No, no. Psychopaths kill for no reason. I kill for money. It's a job... That didn't come out right.
Trivia: In the convenience store shootout, there is a large cardboard cut-out of the Pulp Fiction characters in the background. Bruce Willis's head explodes.
Question: Was Doom II (the game played in the Ultimart) ever ported to an arcade machine? I think it would be difficult to produce a real coin-op version of the game (a lot of custom hardware and programming - I don't think any arcade hardware could support Doom back then). Making a prop would be easy by sticking a PC with a TV monitor (to prevent flicker) in a cabinet mock-up, or even just run a pre-recorded tape of someone playing Doom and just have the actor mime it.

Answer: No, Doom II was never available in a commerical arcade cabinet. It must have been specifically designed for the movie.
