Question: At the end of the movie Alice fights the Licker. The licker falls through the hatch, is dragged across the tracks and begins to burn. How is that possible?
Answer: Per Wikipedia, the third rail is a metal railway track that is placed on either side of a train track to provide electrical power to trains traveling along the tracks. The third rail is extremely dangerous as they provide hundreds of volts in a current that contains very high amps. Thus, the licker falls onto the tracks, is dragged along the third rail creating sparks, and then ignites when enough heat and sparks are generated.
Question: What pin does Jamie get at the very end?
Answer: This is an NYPD Meritorious Police Duty bar, specifically either the Honorable Mention (silver-star) medal, or the Commendation (bronze-star) medal. Recipients are awarded Honorable Mention for "an act of extraordinary bravery intelligently performed in the line of duty at imminent and personal danger to life." And the Commendation is for "grave personal danger in the performance of duty" or "highly creditable unusual police accomplishment."
Question: At the end, in the wrecks, we see a little tabletop air fan still running. Where was it before? We never saw it in the car. (01:27:10)
Answer: It was in the truck, not the car.
Question: How come Hermione didn't say something comforting to Hagrid as they we're leaving before the execution like Harry did? It seems a bit out of character for her.
Answer: Hagrid wants them to leave quickly, before the executioner and the Minister of Magic arrive. Also, Hermione may not have known what to say. One of Hagrid's beloved pets is about to be executed - what could anyone say to make him feel better about it?
Answer: It's not about Hermione. This has to do with filmmaking. The scene was constructed to maintain the pacing, timing, and the mood, which quickly changes when the execution party suddenly arrives at the hut and the Trio rushes out. Harry expressed what all three were thinking. Having each character say something to Hagrid, would just slow the action with unnecessary dialogue. There may have been more to the scene when it was originally filmed, but editing often deletes excess details, for the reasons stated above. Movies, in particular, have details eliminated during post-production editing.

Question: How did Jack get kidnapped by the Chinese, beaten to a pulp and end up on a ship in the middle of the ocean in about 10 minutes?

Question: I thought the movie was supposed to take place in Oregon? In several scenes, specifically when NOVA shows up to collect Number 5 the first time, multiple vehicles can be seen with Washington state license plates. Also, you can see a ferry in the background in what appears to be Puget Sound. (00:43:50 - 00:49:20)
Answer: Astoria, Oregon is just across from Washington state on the Columbia River. The Highway 101 bridge connects Washington to Astoria, and it takes mere minutes to cross. Unlike Washington, Oregon has no state sales tax, so many Washingtonians who live near the border shop there, and their cars would be seen. Also, there are several vintage paddlewheel river boats belonging to a river cruise company based in Astoria. From a distance, they are a similar size, shape, and white color as a Puget Sound ferry. That is probably what you saw cruising on the Columbia River.
Answer: Johnny 5 finds himself in Astoria, Oregon after escaping. However, NOVA Laboratories is located in Washington State. I'm not sure about Puget Sound though since filming in Washington took place in Stevenson, where NOVA is supposed to be located.
Question: How come Perry lets Lois call him Chief but won't let Jimmy do it?

Answer: One possibility is that Shelby is calling a wedding coordinator or a relative at the house where the reception is being held. Someone like Jackson's Aunt Fern or Shelby's brothers could fetch an outfit from Shelby's closet and bring it to Truvy's shop.
