Things We Learned from Unknown - Unknown (2011) Discussion

Yesornein, thank you for this reply. I have discovered on this website, there are many people who just like to complain. I was called "moron" and "stupid" by someone and they were replying to a post from months ago. I wrote back, telling them they need to lighten up, and they wrote back that "you should die in a fire immediately." Also, I didn't watch "Wings" when it was on but catching the reruns. I posted a question about an episode that appeared to be the final one, but wasn't sure. I said "the episode where...." so people would know which one I meant. Some wrote back answering my question and one person was throwing a fit as I "gave away the end." How long has "Wings" been off the air? If, after many years, if someone hasn't watched something yet, they aren't going to. Just like to complain.

I go the church every Sunday as I was raised to be a good Christian. My uncle was a Baptist minister and my father was Jewish, so I was raised with good morals. I have added you to my prayers as you so desperately need help. To wish such things on a stranger over a movie discussion web site shows you have issues which require much prayer, psyciatric help and God in your life, no matter whose God. Vaya con dios. From now on, I will be deleting your posts unread.

I was just kidding when I said you should die in a fire!! But I guess you will never know since you will delete this without reading it.

We are now on 138; I've been counting.

138. Assassins have a very strange way of communicating problems to other assassins.
139. When suffering from amnesia, shower sex will be the first thing to come back.
140. Beware staying at the Hotel Adlon; its manager is an incompetent boob.

OT, but...being religious doesn't mean one has good morals. Plenty of Atheists out there with morals, thanks. Saying that you're going to pray for someone is condescending, btw.

The German police are happy to be ordered around by hotel security and researchers at politechnical schools.

If you are being chased by killers and you have a illegal cab driver that knows the city with you, she should not drive - you should, since you are a man.

This American is probably the only American that can drive a stick shift.

143) Nobel laureates only keep one copy of their amazing research - a laptop they carry in a not-very-thickly-padded bag. Actually there are two copies if you count his head.

144) Nobel laureates derive passwords from details of their personal lives. After exchanging several emails with them where you get them to share their personal and family details, you'll be able to figure out the passwords to the only computer that holds their life's work.

145) Nobel laureates have access to password features that allow long passwords and in two words.

146) This was already mentioned but it's worth repeating. The U.S. embassy is incommunicado during the long Thanksgiving holiday.

147) Comas can actually save the world from bigger tragedies so the days and years lost in one individual are worth the sacrifice. See Unknown and The Dead Zone.

148) A secret assasination organization can easily cook up a believeable cover of being a renowned scientiest. Nobody will bother to search for said scientiests publications in peer-review journals. Just set up a fake profile on a school website, exchange a couple of emails with a famous colleague overseas, and you're good.

149) When stealing a Mercedes E class Estate (station wagon, shooting-brakes, tourer) and you have told the taxi owner to open the boot to put your bags in, when you drive off with the boot open you it will close itself as it has some special auto close technology even though it is a year 2000 model.

151) You can grab a broken shard of mirror by the edges and grip it tightly enough to stab deeply through someone else's flesh without it cutting your own hand.

152) Emergency workers think nothing of repeatedly defibrillating a wet person lying in a puddle of water (which they are kneeling in).

153) A hidden explosive set to go off at a crowded formal reception in a hotel room is best set with a timer that beeps!

154) When you are sincerely saying a bittersweet goodbye to an agent who worked closely for you for years before being forced to kill him, stand unconcernedly watching your goon unnecessarily kick and punch the bejeebers out of him. Don't worry about all the extra noise and activity that can easily be seen from the street (remember Gina's point of view from her cab).

155) When you fly into a foreign country to finally execute the last stage of your carefully phased plan, carry a briefcase with thousands of euros, multiple passports with your picture (along with some blank ones), and your entire cover story typed out in full. No customs agent has ever asked a traveler to open a briefcase. You'll probably be fine.

- And you can safely assume that your goon can take the guy you just described as your best assassin, so just turn your back on them because, everybody knows that muscle memory (fighting skills + survival instincts) also disappears with selective amnesia (unless you're Jason Bourne).

When a complete stranger calls an ex-Stasi officer and insists on coming over to his house, the first thing the ex-Stasi officer does is find his cyanide and wait for the stranger to arrive.

even though you've wrecked one cab you were using illegally, your friend will lend you another one.....

a trained assassin will always assume you've slid down a 50 foot ladder rather than hide on the other side of the roof.....

while one trained assassin will rush into the hotel to confess to planting a bomb, thus incriminating himself, his partner will go back in and try to defuse it at great personal risk only because she didn't want to get incriminated by it....

after you leave the hospital, telling the DR that your wife will be terrified being in a city she doesn't know, you will spot her at the exclusive reception buffet in an evening gown chatting amiably with other guests and not wonder why she's doing that instead of finding you.....

if you're an inconsequential extra, the assassin will just snap your neck killing you instantly.... if you need to be able to stick around awhile for purposes of the film, he will take his time killing you, allowing time for you to be saved.....

163.) Ex-Nazi/Stasi/Communist-police resemble your grandpa and are always glad to help...because they're curious.

164.) Every single car driven in Germany is a Mercedes...including all taxi's.

To infinity and beyond.) January Jones can't act...even while filming a sexy shower flashback scene.

166. When you're a trained assasin, and you're shooting at someone in a car that is barreling straight towards you, don't make any effort to get out of the way, because there is no doubt you'll hit your target...and as they die, they'll step on the brake, stopping the car before it hits you.

167. Hotel security will be able to recognise Professor Bressler on security cameras as he walks into the hotel lobby, but the bodyguards outside the Prince's door will need to see his ID before they let him into the room.

168. Your life's work will be safe in the hands of someone else, simply because they say "You can trust me Professor."

169. When you're a highly trained covert operative, stick the knife you're about to kill somebody with out in front of you as you approach them. Nobody in the crowded hotel lobby will notice.

170. Bressler's research is worth billions in the "wrong" hands, because it would be catastrophic if SOMEBODY ELSE could grow corn in any climate.

171. When the Assasination group you've been working for notices your disappearance, they will be quick to send in a replacement. However, they will not care to look for you and have someone by your side when you wake up from the coma.

172. It is easier to open a car door underwater from outside the car vs. inside. Using your legs apparently would not have made sense as you can easily just pull it open from the other side.

173. Hitler didn't really commit a suicide back in 1945-he actually became a communist Stasi agent.

174. Liam Neeson can dry himself, get dressed and climb to the roof in a matter of seconds (and very quietly).

175. Bosnian war refugees apparently have the ability to speak gazillion foreign languages.

They may crush the flowers, but they can't stop the Spring.

The point is that Bressler was making his research freely available to the world, unlike Big Agriculture, which would have owned the patent and charged billions of dollars for others to grow "its" corn.

176. When you end up an amnesiac after your cab crashes off a bridge due to a freak accident involving multiple vehicles and injuries none of this will be on the news. Duh!

177. Clearly this movie would've been much better if it had starred John Travolta as an assassin/Sprocket.
