Answer: In Bram Stoker's novel on which the film is based, Dracula can be exposed to daylight, and while it diminishes his powers, it doesn't kill him.

Answer: To add to the other answers, the "sunlight kills vampires" lore started with the 1922 German silent film, Nosferatu. The screenwriter wanted to add an unexpected twist to the story that differed from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel. It became the accepted vampire mythology in most films and books for many years after.

Answer: A bank would never have that much money on hand. Not only would it be poor asset management to keep millions in cash on hand instead of in some sort of investment, it would be a safety hazard as well. Even in modern day, most banks would have less than $50,000 in cash on hand.

Answer: That is a very good point, and something I didn't think of when watching it recently. You are right, the Secret Service would have immediately dragged her to a safe location or even to Marine 1 (the helicopter) to get her safe in the air. As we've even seen in recent history when President Trump was shot in the ear, instantly the Secret Service were on him and dragging him off to safety. This would be a logical mistake breaking what the Service usually would do, but then the climax of the movie couldn't happen if they did it. So it is also likely a deliberate mistake. Good catch.

Answer: He's saying it was his turn, and it happened to fall on the last night of boot camp.

Answer: Fire watch is just an informal term for sentry duty (to stand watch). I think it is derived from the fact that he will be the only one awake, so he is the only one to warn if there is indeed a fire, even though that's not the main duty. But that's just a guess.

Answer: Would add that the term "fire watch" has a long-time origin and several meanings. A fire watch is someone responsible for observing hot work activity to spot any fires during work operations. It applied to watching for and reporting forest fires during the summer. Also, "signal" fires were once a communication or warning system over long distances that assigned watchers continuously monitored. In the Army, a "fire watch" refers to a security duty assigned to soldiers, particularly during basic training, to monitor the barracks, especially at night. The colloquial phrase, "putting out fires," has come to mean dealing with problems as they occur.

Answer: It was directly related to Gny. Sgt. Hartman. Joker was imitating John Wayne to mock Hartman for his over-the-top behaviour when addressing the recruits. He's implying that Hartman was acting like he was Wayne, a famous movie star known for playing tough, "gung ho" military heroes.

Answer: I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was, "We come in peace! We are hunting the men that did this!"

Answer: It's set in an alternate universe, about ten to twenty years in the future.

Answer: It's doubtful that anyone in the Mafia sphere is ever trusted 100%, regardless how capable they are. There would be legitimate concerns that someone might start skimming off the top or collude with others to cheat the bosses. Also, by restricting access and dividing responsibilities, it lessens the suspects if any irregularities occur. The counters likely directly worked for and reported to the mob bosses, not Rothstein, who handled the casino's daily operations, not the the money.

Answer: There's no way of knowing what was in the case. It is a plot device called a "MacGuffin," a term coined by director Alfred Hitchcock. It doesn't actually matter what the object is but is just something that drives the story. It can be any type of object or device such as a "secret formula," "enemy war plans," a "nuclear weapon," a "treasure map," and so on that the characters are either searching for or protecting. There was never any intention to reveal what it was. Its purpose is to motivate the characters' actions and tell the story. Most likely it was intended to be a McGuffin just to keep the audience guessing and thinking about the movie long after it ends.

Answer: Yes and no. After the body dies, it loses about 1.5°C per hour until it reaches ambient temperature (i.e. the temperature where the body is found). But there are factors affecting the rate of loss, and one has to assume a starting temperature of 98.6°F. In this case, after factoring in the time from when the police were called to when the body temperature was checked, it would have been determined some time had passed, just not a lot, before Beth saw Moira standing over Megan. Really, what they were saying is Moira's story is believable: that she found her sister dead and picked up the hammer right as the garage door opened.

Answer: It's Lucifer's blood from when his wings got hit by the bullets. As Lucifer spreads his wings, they're white, and before he wraps them around Chloe, you see a bullet hit his wing above his right shoulder, and the spot turns red. After that, he continues to get shot in the wings before fleeing.

Answer: Short answer is no, it's not illegal. For example, boxers are allowed to bet on themselves. There may be leagues or clubs that prohibit their players (and even staff) from any form of gambling, not just betting on themselves or their team. But it doesn't mean it's illegal. Some casinos or bookies may not take players' bets unless it's a straight bet to win, as opposed to a player betting he'll win in the 6th round.
