A few questions

1) When they just leave the road-house robbie seays that he needs to answer the call of nature. They then go onto a frozen lake and when it shows us the speedometer we can also see the fuel gauge which is on empty. Most of us would assume they filled up at the cafe, but later on when he is giving 'smoke signals' we see the RPM gauge and also get another look at the fuel gauge...which is still on empty.

2) When the caddy has just driven through the window and got CJ on the hood, robbie and scott chase the caddy. However the car starts to overheat again and then catches fire. But the first time it overheated we could see scott flooring it, but the rev limiter came on and stopped the car from moving. Why didnt the rev limiter come on here when he had his foot on the floor.

3) How did they get home, it was freezing cold. CJ could hardly walk as he ran out of 'pez'. Scott had his leg crushed up a tree and they were in the middle of nowhere. Personally if it was me i wouldnt of gotten out, did they have a mobile phone and ring for a taxi?, did they push the car back up to the garage and fix it so it worked for a while?, did they use fart power?

4) In the garage we see scott sitting reading a newspaper or something, CJ lying on top of the car eating 'pez' and robbie is the one fixing the car...?...?...he dosent know how to drive so how would he know anything about engines.

5) Scott thinks charlie is the one the guys in the caddy are after..."they dont want us dead robbie,...they want him". He then says "Why were you so hot for me to drag the caddy, why didnt you flash your badge back there?"...but we hear charlie say "ok...now that weve got there yard out, pull over im gonna put a stop to this"...If i was scott that would of convinced me that he was willing to do something about them and i wouldnt of blammed him.

6) What is used to write the "spookey, biblical *beep* on the windshield"

7) How did charlie and luther know which way the kids were going. They go past loads of sideroads and they could of turned down any of them, but the caddy was always in the same place as them. How did they know that scott wouldnt take a sideroad and miss the tree blocking the road all together.

You really dont grasp questions very well do you

1) Ok whats the question? Read It!!!

2) Don't know what ya mean... I mean that the car was running on nothing evrytime we saw the fuel gauge it read EMPTY

3) I think they walked believe it or not lol...does seem far fetched but honest I think they did...plus 'pez' wouldn't help him walk...what ya on about?! He was a diabetic, he needed sugar, without sugar you loose energy thus leading to stagaring and falling down

4) Who knows, I think he does know abit of mechanics...he does..I am sure... How do you know he knows mechanics, for all we know he just put a bit of water in the radiator

5) What?! Read the question again and maybe youll understand it

6) Biblical writing on the windsheild...I don't think so.. WTF has this got to do with my question?!?!?!?!?!?, i asked WHAT DO THEY USE TO WRITE ON THE WINDOW AS IT DOSENT COME OFF! It was clear so it couldnt of being ink/permenant marker

7) Not very well thought out...had to be a movie so they had to have a plot..

1) There is no question...you just said some stuff about not understanding..there is no question marks..

2)Ok...goof..

3)Ok I didn't hear that, sorry, what part did we learn he was diabetic?
Plus when you're diabetic you can't have sugar...research it..when someone is diabetic it means its because you have had to much sugar over the years, this can then cause the pancreas to not work properly in some people, the pancreas produces a thing called insulin in people without diabetes however if you are diabetic your pancreas can't create insulin so the sugar effects you...this is why diabteic people eat special foods without sugar and need to inject themselves daily (or often) with the drug insulin to help.
We learnt this in Science and a person I know is diabetic..please correct me if I have anything wrong...plus include evidence..link etc.
Thanks.

4) I thought it said he was doing mechanics...I apologize I must have heard wrong..

5) I can't understand it, I can't read it, thats all.

6) Don't get angry, I just said how is the writing biblical...its not taken from the bible is it?!
And I don't think many people would know what was used to write it, maybe check trivia...

7) Ok copy and paste and no reply..

That's not how you get it. At least, it's not the only way. I've been diabetic for over 20 years, and it had nothing to do with how much sugar I ate over time. While diet may play a role, it's not only because you eat too much sugar. Diabetes is largely hereditary, and partly caused by environmental factors (like diet). If CJ was a diabetic, the Pez would have been useful if his blood sugar got low, which, running from crazy folk all night, it very well could have. The Pez would bring it back up, saving his life.

CJ had a hard time walking because the Caddy had plowed into his legs. Common sense and paying attention should have told you this.

8) who cares?

I wondered about packing the snow around the radiator which would not cool the engine if the coolant leaked out of it. I thought they fixed the hose in t he garage but they must not have or had time to finish as it overheated. I don't know if an overheated engine would cause a fire like that. It should have simply locked up under that strain. I also wonder where in Wi you can walk into Minesotta as I live in wis and minesotta and our state have a big river between us unless there is a place way up north which is possible.
