[Spoiler] Umbrella at the end?


So when the three sheltered themselves behind the umbrella in the small room, why was there not a 'unouched patch' on the wall after the guy exploded?

Any object in the way of any such blast would normally have caused a 'shadow'- in this case a clean spot on the white wall behind those three guys? ?

reply

Ha ha I was thinking that too. I guess it's a continuity mistake. It's a big one because I think a clean patch on the wall would have been a bit comical.

Your's sincerely, General Joseph Liebgott

wer'nt they all crouched with the brolly at floor level - i guess the shadow would be on the floor behind them rather than the wall

reply

Well they were holding the brolly directly in front of them. Ground level or not a golf umbrella is up to five feet in diameter. There's no way the wall behind them would have been completely covered

Yeah, _THAT_ is the problem with this movie everyone should focus on.
