Why Not Just Call New York?
IIRC Gregory Hines' character says something like (paraphrased) “I've gotta get to New York to warn (protect?) (whomever) before Eve can get there" [to kill them]....why not just pick up the phone and call them to warn them?
This movie was so full of plotholes it's ridiculous
