Just a few (among hundreds) of the ridiculous things from Fall Time . .


Spoilers below.

If you can, watch again the baldwin scene when he goes from front of the bank to the street, shot with blanks, then thrown in trunk. Ask yourself if these would be the actions of this man. Ask yourself: Why would he allow himself to be thrown to the street? Why would he continue to lay there while blanks were shot into him?

Here's more silliness from the worst movie script ever:

2) Why would baldwin gag the boys when there is no one within earshot? "Just in case someone might come by", you say. OK. Then why did he fire a shot into the air? Which is louder? A gun shot or a whimpering 18 year old?

3) Why did baldwin threaten to hang the boys if they didn't tell him the truth? They were tied up and baldwin had a gun. Why do you need a rope and to threaten to hang the boys? Just shoot them.

4) Why did baldwin keep re-chambering rounds when there was already a round in the chamber? Watch as he pulls back the slide on his .45 ejecting a perfectly good live round and loading a new live round from the clip. Why? The answer: No one on the set, including baldwin. knew how a Colt .45 operates.

5) Why wouldn't Courtney cox's ex-husband tell baldwin what they were doing? In real life, this is the first thing he would have said.

6) The guy is rushing to save his friend. He is in a MASSIVE hurry because a killer is going to cap his buds. He is frantically changing a tire. He stops for no reason and allows Sherry Lee to play 'hide the hot dog' with him. What changed in 3 seconds? Dumb, dumb, dumb.

So very bad on so many levels. None of these characters do anything that wold be done by a normal person in the same situation. No character, at any time.

And why didn't Baldwin just take their car? He would have been back at the bank long before Mickey.
