I really think that this was written as "Legally Blonde 3: Don't Start the Revolution Without Me" and they were unable to sign on the original stars so they made it with no names. Looking at it from this perspective, try to list as many similarities with the Legally Blonde movies as possible. You will have no problems finding a ton of them.
shareI don't know about Legally Blonde but that scene where she's driving the truck and the main guy and his guide are shooting at their pursuers reeks of Indiana Jones. It totally reminded me of the boat chase in Last Crusade when Indy is saying something like, "Don't go between them, are you crazy?" And Elsa replies, "Go between them, are you crazy?"
Oh, one other point. When the truck is stuck on the bridge and the jet shoots a missile at it, why doesn't the bridge go up in flames? It looks like a small section of the bridge is destroyed and the whole thing is left standing. Also, why doesn't the jet just aim for the truck instead? It's a bigger target and probably contains contraband. Why waste a missile on a person?
Sorry, one other thing. Why is there a firing squad preparing to execute one prisoner when the president is being ousted? I thought that they would've needed every man available to defend the palace.
I know it's supposed to be a comedy but still...
The men at the firing squad didn't know the palace had been overrun. On the parade / execution grounds it was pretty deserted. Sure they would hear the explosions, but I surmised that they assumed that THEIR tanks and troops were decimating the mobs, not the other way around.
Now I'm surprised that someone did not inform them via radio that revolutionaries had overrun the presidential palace, but it was clear that President Ramos and his staff were cutting and running, abandoning their troops as they made their way to the helicopter. So the situation was chaos inside the palace.
All Claire had to do was DELAY them from killing Arnet. Once she was on the ground, all hell broke loose anyway, with Rafael shooting up the parade grounds in his Osprey, et. al.
It really isn't a bad plot hole, since it can be explained. There are other movies with really incomprehensible plot holes. :D
Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity.share
