You also see this type of thing.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 18/05/2017 10:45:59 PM

In the Fast & Furious series. Sure, apparently all of these kids have years of experience, tools, and facilities to do all this work on their cars....and they apparently also have the software and computer tech to meticulously look at optimal engine performance and such....

But apparently they don't understand basic physics or the law of conservation of momentum or anything like that....like if you jump from a car going 90mph, your body is actually traveling at (roughly) 90mph...and should you hit anything...you will splat. Not just get a mild headache and an arm in a splint.

Physics in almost all "Super Hero" movies drives me batty. LiterateDog - 18/05/2017 04:21:49 PM 223 Views
Presumably Superman moves downward when catching Lois to prevent fatal deceleration. Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 06:16:36 PM 217 Views
Even just bending the knees and letting the arms drop a little would make a huge difference *NM* random thoughts - 18/05/2017 07:03:09 PM 173 Views
Not enough. Not nearly enough. *NM* LiterateDog - 18/05/2017 07:08:30 PM 133 Views

It's not just Superman, though. LiterateDog - 18/05/2017 07:08:01 PM 324 Views
Maybe the standard model is just missing the superpowers boson. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 09:00:24 PM 112 Views
Suspension of disbelief? aerocontrols - 18/05/2017 07:31:51 PM 231 Views

I hate it when massive plot holes are excused because it is science fiction random thoughts - 19/05/2017 03:11:21 AM 213 Views
