We'll Flip for Her

Remember when Chip's friend Paul suggested they flip (a coin) to see whether he or Chip will take Erin to the dance? Chip did a backflip (hey I rhymed). Now for an andriod that is supposed to weigh 400 pounds, I'm suddenly surprised that he pulled it off - and I haven't seen that movie for years.

The second oddity I realized was when Chip's feet touched the floor again, his impact did not damage the floor. I'm not one to pick at movies, but I'm just now realizing these 'goofs.'

To defeat me is a challenge. To destroy me is impossible.

Also, he sits on chair without breaking them.
In the beginning, Jonas says he can run as fast as a cheatah, lift X amount... so he is a pretty capable android.

aww, I thought you were posting about how funny that part was. I remember thinking that was the best joke in the movie.

I'm not a scientist, but I'd guess it's possible to land in a way that his knees took most of the force of the wall, the way they were designed. I mean, I can fall from a table or bunk bed without making much noise or shaking the floor much if I do it while bending my knees.

Of course, this is a disney tv original film. They aren't exactly written by the brightest minds.
