Please clarify possible plothole at hotel scene...


They were focusing a lot on the credit cards at the first hotel they were at. It clearly shows the manager mixing up the two credits cards and giving them back without them noticing. It is never brought up again to my knowledge. Was this a mistake or deliberately done, b/c it has always confused me.,..

That was the card mix up that allowed Dell to rent the car later in the film

It's brought up when the car is on fire, it's how Del was able to rent the car.

Dragonzord! Mastodon! Pterodactyl! Triceratops! Saber Toothed Tiger! Tyrannosaurus!

tks zeo, not sure how I forgot about that. Excuse the childish interruption by "thecaretaker", as if anyone is paying attention to the screaming brat in the room.

They were never in a hotel.

They were in INNs and MOTELs.

Ugh. I tend to wear a grammar-police badge, but in this case, close enough.
