Plot mistake??? (spoiler)
If the drug was just a placebo, why does Jackson got so nervous when the kid in the plane put one in his mouth?
shareIt probably had nothing to do wiht the effect (or lack-thereof) of the pill, so much as what the kid would have dome with it. Perhaps he was afraid the kid would spit it ou or something and someone would find it and ask questions about it. He was probably just trying to keep a low profile. Even if he made a scene getting it back.
All speculation though. Nothing's for sure in this crazy world.
Of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong...
I'd just be totally P*ssed off if some little punk dipped his hand in my sporran and snagged a free sweet. Regardless of whether it was a real drug or not the little c*nt needs a good slap!
sharewhat about the actual chemist that gave the drug the thumbs up? isnt that a MASSIVE plot hole?
"somebody needs to teach him the difference between hospitality and hospitalize"
no...at those tests that he did look for the presence of chemicals within the drug, for instance one of the test tubes looked for dopamine which was probably present. But later on in the film you learn that each of the chmicals cancel each other out.
Some of the bigest plotholes though are the fact that the science behind it is nonsense. And it doesn't matter if the ingredients aren't on any banned substance list, turning them into a preperation and then distributing without a licence is ilegal.
Still I like the flick because it's soooo chinese in its direction.
hmmm thanks for that. i totally lost all respect for that film but you've cleared it up for me.
