Question: Even if Turner planned to stage Kale's murder as a suicide, wouldn't the fact that someone who accused a neighbor of being a serial killer, only to turn up dead only hours later make Turner an immediate suspect? I would think that most serial killers wouldn't be dumb enough to risk having the person who accused them to turn up dead in only a few hours no matter if it was staged as a suicide.

Disturbia (2007)
Answer: Turner might be considered a suspect based on Kale's accusation, but there would have to be solid evidence, for which there was none. More likely, it would probably be theorized that Kale's recent erratic behavior and emotional state is what led to his "suicide" and that he had become fixated on Turner and irrationally fantasized and falsely claimed that he was a serial killer.

Double Jeopardy (1999)
Stupidity: Nick tries to get rid of Libby once and for all by sealing her in a coffin, but he never even bothers to properly check her for anything that she could use to possibly escape, which she ends up doing with a gun.

Disturbia (2007)
Continuity mistake: In the classroom scene at the beginning, on Kale's desk is a white book (likely a Spanish dictionary) that is lying on top of a red book and keeps changing position without him touching it. (00:06:45 - 00:07:10)

Unforgiven (1992)
Continuity mistake: After getting beaten by Little Bill, English Bob doesn't have much blood on his face. The next shot of him after Bill, the blood has changed pattern and there is a greater amount. (00:45:23)

Aladdin (1992)
Stupidity: When Jasmine finds out that Prince Ali is actually the boy she met in the marketplace, she seems to completely forget about Jafar telling her he had been executed. She never asks why he's alive, nor does she even bother to confront Jafar about his treachery.

Suggested correction: The fact Aladdin was alive only told her Jafar lied about it. When she is brought back by Aladdin to the palace it is still night, not long after that she is confronted by her father and Jafar who has him under a spell. She hardly had time to ask about the treachery, probably thinking to do it in the morning. It is there and then Jafar is exposed by Aladdin. She probably wondered about it, but didn't figure out the implications yet.

Enough (2002)
Question: Why did Mitch want Slim (and Gracie) to remain a part of his life if he has no qualms about neglecting and cheating on her with countless other women. Why does he have such standards?
Answer: Mitch wants to be in control. He will not tolerate Slim leaving him - he wants to be the one who leaves, if and when he chooses. I think that is also why he threatened to plant drugs and portray Slim as a drug user, so he can have full custody of Gracie. He would want to control where Gracie lives, and whether Slim could be with her.
Answer: A variety of reasons. For one, he'd probably want to keep his daughter close. Other reasons: abuse is about power and control. He controls Slim while she maintains the house, tends to his needs, raises his child, while allowing him to casually cheat with other women whenever he wanted and without any commitment. Their relationship also becomes a sick game to him in which he challenges Slim to try to end their relationship.

Fear (1996)
Stupidity: In real life, David beating Gary would be a very big deal since it happened in front of many witnessed and on school property. He would at the very least be arrested or detained sooner or later, if not immediately, for things like assault and possibly reckless endangerment, and could very well have a lawsuit filed against him.

Batman and Robin (1997)
Stupidity: Mr, Freeze and Poison Ivy join together and plan to cover Gotham in freezing temperatures and plants, with none of them ever considering in the slightest that plants don't survive freezing temperatures, despite both of them being scientists.

Suggested correction: Poison Ivy made super-plants that could survive the new ice age they were going to create. As for the fate of normal plants, though this is only really clarified in the novelization (and original script), Poison Ivy's god complex has (pun intended) grown to where she no longer cares about individual or existing plants, just playing out her fantasies of being "Mother Nature."

Perfect Stranger (2007)
Stupidity: (SPOILERS) Despite knowing that Rowena killed the last person who was blackmailing her, Miles tries to use her secret to blackmail her into sleeping with him. Did he really believe that she wouldn't react with such drastic measures like she did before?

Vacancy (2007)
Continuity mistake: The telephone receiver in the motel room changes position without anyone touching it after the second call. (00:24:50 - 00:25:40)
20th Jan 2021
Saw IV (2007)
Factual error: It would not be possible for the scalping device to scalp Brenda's hair in the manner that it does. Hair is too thin to withstand that much pressure when being pulled and would rip long before she began to bleed profusely. At worst, she would likely be bleeding a little bit in a non-fatal manner from having her hair yanked after it ripped.

Fear (1996)
Continuity mistake: The wound on David's back from being stabbed by the peace pipe at the end changes drastically. When we first see it, it is a very bloody wound on his upper back near his shoulders and head, but when we see it in the next shot, not only is it smaller and less bloody, but it also changes position to being further down in the middle of his back. (01:30:45)

Disturbia (2007)
Continuity mistake: After the first car accident, just before they are hit by the second car, the amount and pattern blood on Kale's face changes slightly at least once, most notably a large scrape on the side of his face that seems to almost disappear. (00:04:10)

Lakeview Terrace (2008)
Question: Even before Abel saw the interracial couple making out in the pool, why would he be so suspicious that they are a bad influence? How exactly does his wife's death and unfaithfulness play a role in this mistrust?
Answer: Abel was mentally unstable and that drove his overall behavior. His initial antagonism about Chris and Lisa started with a variety of factors including them being an inter-racial couple, Chris' smoking, and the couple listening to hip hop music. This was all exaggerated in Abel's mind, and continued festering. Abel's late wife had an affair with a white man, which seems to be a factor in his objection to any inter-racial relationship and distrust of white men. It's implied that Abel's extreme, controlling behavior is what led to his wife's infidelity.

Unlawful Entry (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Ray Liotta is lying unconscious at the end just before getting shot and killed, the blood pooling under him changes volume and position once and then back.

Final Destination (2000)
Visible crew/equipment: A green screen is visible in Agent Weine's glasses when talking to Agent Schrek after they let Alex go during Ms. Lewton's death sequence. (00:58:05)

Final Destination (2000)
Plot hole: With how much vodka was seen leaking out of Ms. Lewton's mug from the crack, it would have already been empty or close to empty when she took a drink next to the computer and she would have noticed this and the crack. (00:59:00)

Jagged Edge (1985)
Stupidity: After Jack is found not guilty, you would think the first thing he would do is to get rid of the typewriter he used to send the notes to Teddy to manipulate her into winning the case for him, especially when she is sleeping with him at his home. Not to even mention the fact he hid the typewriter in an unsecure manner in a closet behind a stack of towels, a place where it would very easily be found. This foolish mistake exposed the truth to Teddy and cost him his "freedom."

Firewall (2006)
Stupidity: After Jack's attempt to send a distress email to his colleague fails because his office computer has been hacked, he secretly attaches the camera pen to Janet to move unmonitored. If he wasn't willing to cooperate, why doesn't he just secretly write a distress message on a piece of paper and show it to a colleague?
10th Apr 2020
Firewall (2006)
Stupidity: There is a scene in which the phone rings back at the house and Andy goes to answer it. None of the henchman respond immediately, but instead WAIT for him to almost answer the phone before becoming making a move. You would think they would yell at him to not answer it or have one of them rush to guard the phone the moment it rings. Obviously the entire scene was done this way for the sole purpose of suspense.

Answer: Being a serial killer, Turner is most likely a transient. When he starts to feel threatened (close to being identified as a suspect) or has committed several murders in one area without getting caught, he will sense the need to move on - relocate with a new identity. At least initially, he can portray himself as a law-abiding "gentleman" to reduce/ eliminate suspicion or buy himself enough time to flee the area and avoid getting caught.
