Question: 1. At Neptune High graduation, the colors are green and gold. In season 1, wasn't there red involved with the cheerleader uniforms? 2. Why is Dick Casablancas watching the seniors graduate, and then in season 3, he has graduated and is off to Hearst College with the rest of the gang?
Answer: 1. No, the pep squad uniform was green and yellow. 2. He failed one of the classes, the one where they were trying to launch an egg from various heights without cracking the egg. He was pairing with Angie Dahl, who told the teacher that he didn't do anything in the project. The teacher then asked him to pick the project he worked on, and he couldn't do it because he didn't help. Then the teacher told him, "See you in summer school." He couldn't graduate with everyone else because he needed to attend summer school in order to pass that class and graduate. It's assumed that he did, in fact, attend summer school, despite all the mess that happened in the season 2 finale.
Question: In this episode, there is a song playing on the record player that starts off with someone singing "Don't be a baby, lady - just be a lady, baby" and then suddenly the classic 70's song "The Hustle" plays. The Hustle never had this intro in the real song that I'm aware of. My question is - was there ACTUALLY a version of "The Hustle" that included that start with those words or was it just made up for this episode on the show?
Answer: It's not sudden. The first part is a made-up song for the show and is over a minute in the episode (and several hours in-universe) earlier than Homer playing The Hustle.
Question: I'm a bit confused about the scene where Luenell shows up at the dinner. Why were the guests so angry? Is it because she's black? They thought they were part of a serious documentary though, right? Why would they let the world know that they're racist? Is it because she was a prostitute? They didn't tell the guests she was, I guess maybe they could tell by the way she was dressed.
Answer: Racism is certainly a possibility. For certain, the host and other guests had simply had enough of Borat by that point. Besides insulting them, bringing a bag of feces back to the table, and his other bad behaviour, he brought in someone who was a street prostitute to a fancy dinner party.
Question: Do storm chasers keep regular phone call communication with the staff at NSSL? It seems the staff at the weather station reports directly to the ground teams what their readings are.
Answer: They don't communicate with the storm chasers. They gather and release the information publicly. The storm chasers get the information from the public releases.
Question: Why did Elizabeth Berkley and Gina Gershon dislike each other when working on this movie?
Answer: Paul Verhoeven subtly encouraged a rivalry between the two actresses in order to make the characters' dislike appear more real on screen.
Question: After being found not guilty, why would Joe whisper to Randall that he would kill more kids?
Answer: Joe was taunting him because Randall was a do-gooder who thought that he could change the world for the better but just made things worse.
Question: Is the song "Evil Incarnate" a real song, or was it composed for the movie?
Answer: It was written for the movie.
Question: When Obi-Wan accused the son of being Sith, what did he mean by yes and no?
Answer: The Son is not truly a Sith because he doesn't subscribe to Sith beliefs, nor was he a part of the early Sith Empire or the new "Rule of Two" Sith Order. He is merely a personification of the Dark Side of the Force itself.
Question: How could the police car still work like normal after Arnie literally crushed its front?
Answer: Depending on what exactly was damaged when he landed on the hood, it may still be able to run for a while before the damage destroys the engine beyond use.
Question: On the death of Commander Powell, wouldn't Lieutenant Doolittle have been promoted to commander?
Answer: Just because he was forced to take command doesn't guarantee him a promotion.
Question: How was the relationships between Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Matt Le Blanc on the set? Were they as close as the ladies?
Answer: On various documentarys, it is noted that all of the cast were very close friends, to the extent that guests felt very left out during filming. To answer your question yes, they were all very close.
Answer: The actor who played Chandler's crazy roommate said that he, Matthew Perry, and Matt Le Blanc used to go to bars together at night, etc., which implies David Schwimmer didn't attend. I think Perry and Le Blanc were close friends, while Schwimmer was more of a colleague.

Question: Why was Jack laughing at the end of this episode after Oggy accidentally hit him with a pétanque ball?
Answer: It sounded like he was laughing, but he actually wasn't. Actually, he was getting nervous because he got gruesomely injured throughout this entire episode, and this was the last straw for him.
Question: What is Jason holding when the helicopter arrives? A child? From where?
Answer: The French lady's child, who was trapped in the cab when they were all heading to the library. Emmy Rossum was translating for her when the cop was trying to get her out. Hope that answers your question.
Question: The guy who took the picture of Brian as a kid - was he an opportunist who sold the photo to the magazine? I have a hard time imagining they would be prescient enough to know to send one of their own photographers to the scene of the fire.
Answer: Local photographer could have been monitoring emergency calls. A fire is a big visual, and the photo sold to a wire service or Life directly.
Question: Is Dr Vink a villain? In the episodes he's in, he always seems to put innocent people in danger.
Answer: I think of him as an antihero. He can be nice and helpful at times, but he usually has ulterior motives.
Question: Why exactly does Brick Top hate Tommy so much? What does he have against him? Is it because Tommy reminds Brick Top of someone from his past who he found annoying and insufferable? Or did Brick Top straight up not like Tommy from the start? I've seen this film many times and I've never been able to figure out why this is the case.
Answer: He doesn't really view Tommy as a man, which is why he kept making cracks about Tommy being a girl. He sees Tommy as a lackey, maybe Turkish's sidekick at best, and so he insults him. Nothing Tommy has to say will mean anything to Brick Top, as Brick Top is dealing with Turkish. So whenever Tommy opens his mouth, Brick Top doesn't want to hear it.
Question: Morris Fletcher says he has a $400,000 mortgage on his house when the house was just appraised for $226,000. How does that happen?
Answer: This is actually very common. It's referred to as an "underwater mortgage." The mortgage starts with the cost of the property plus all the interest that will accrue over its life. Also, it is possible for the price of the property to drop below what is still owed.
Question: During "Score Tonight," Stefanie seems to be flirting with Davy; anyone else ever wonder why they didn't become a couple?
Answer: Very simple. There are four T-Birds and four Pink Ladies. Given that the other three of each are paired up, that leaves those two to dance together.
Answer: Just because he's a T-Bird doesn't mean he's a nerd. Every group has the leader, the joker, the loud mouth, and the geeky guy.
I'm not sure this answer applies; none of the T-Birds came across as geeky, jokers, etc. We only know Johnny is the leader, as he is referenced as such several times during the film.
Answer: Like Steve Urkel, "Family Matters," he was the nerd in love with the popular girl. It would be unrequited.
Actually, Davy was one of the T-Birds, the cool group of the school. You're thinking of Michael, the nerdy exchange student who liked Stefanie.
Question: Why would the police cover up Hawkins' accidental shooting of Pete McCabe in the 1978 flashback?
Answer: As you point out, it was a cover-up, probably to protect their reputation and one of their own. They would want to avoid any negative publicity, public outrage, and mistrust. It could also create accusations of police incompetence, leading to a civil lawsuit, firings, internal investigations, etc. There may be other things going on that the police want to avoid being scrutinized too closely.
