plot hole *minor spoiler*


After Travolta becomes sure of the fact that the tire was shot, some ninja enters what I believe is a police station - to replace the shot tire with a new one.

Can it be actually possible not to notice the shot tire when the car is taken from the river, examined, taken to the station?? High-profile official is dead, he could have been the next president by the words of some minor character... WTF?

Ha-ha, making a film out of a couple of photos is also hilarious! I'm still watching it at the moment!

Hate to break it to you, but that's how films are made.

Orly? And what duration would a movie made of 10-15 photos be like? 1 second or less? Don't be in such a hurry, think.

There's quite a few more than that. In fact, since the Criterion includes a complete replica of the news article, it'd be interesting to see anyone here extract the audio from the film, and attempt to recreate it. If I had access to a scanner, I'd try it myself.

About 140 frames in the film Travolta puts together, only 45 in the magazine (reproduced in the Criterion booklet). Minor I suppose, but it stuck out when watching the film.

I explained why it was impossible to create a movie out of a few photos in this thread

The most important thing is sincerity. If you can fake that you've got it made.
