Questions about Opportunity Knocks


In "Opportunity Knocks," Mona enters the house of her son in order to leave a welcome note for her son's housesitter, who is supposed to arrive there the next day. She brings with her the keys to the house in order to leave them for the housesitter who is arriving the next day. To her surprise, she runs into "the housesitter," who is in fact Dana Carvey, but she thinks it is the housesitter, even though he wasn't supposed to arrive until the next day. Carvey had broken into the house the day before by smashing the glass door and opening it. Mona doesn't ask Carvey how he got into the house, even though she knew he had no key to the house, as she was bringing the housesitter the keys so he would be able to get in. Why doesn't Mona ask how Carvey got into the house? This appears to me to be a major plot hole. Also, at the end of the movie, it is clearly not Carvey getting run into by the car, but it is clearly a stunt double, as he has a different style of hair than Carvey. However, even after the take with the car accident, the stunt double is still seen lying on the road in front of the car, even after the take has already finished with the accident. Why does the stunt double need to be there in place of Carvey, being that there is no danger to Carvey in this situation?

I think there was a cute Jack Russell terrier in this movie, and the chick was kinda hot Italian looking, like the chick in Rain Man, and part of it filmed in Long Beach, California. It's called "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" because if you really think it through, even if Superman could make the Earth rotate backwards, it really wouldn't have turned back time. And the funniest part is when the Border Patrol guy says "Does the dog have glaucoma, too? Cuz his eyes are glassy as fuck."

What’s funny is that the Italian girl from rain man was also the same actress who starred opposite of Dana Carvey in another movie called Blank Slate.

I remember seeing her quite often in films in the late 80s and early 90s but not much afterwards. But according to her IMDB page she has been quite busy since then.

A real charmer that one

I’m going to be optimistic today and assume that he is just parodying people that go on message boards and insult people for trivial mistakes.

I doubt it's that clever but it would be a good schtick👍

Best of luck on learning the English language. You can’t spell because you’re mentally retarded.

reply

And you're a complete fucking hypocrite. You criticize other's spelling when you don't capitalize the first word in a lot of your "sentences". Crawl back into your cesspit, loser.

reply

You can’t spell because you’re mentally retarded.

reply

You're mentally retarded because you're mentally retarded, dumb ass. Quit eating crayons and remember to wear your helmet.

I'm happy to bear the brunt of some of your vitriol online if it means that you get all the frustration out of your system for being bullied and teased in real life instead of getting some assault rifles and going on a shooting spree in a mall or something.
