One of the dumbest movie errors ever

At the beginning, the blond girl runs through the woods and gets snared and hung from a tree. Fortunately she had salvaged a shard of glass prior to her entrapment, so she was lucky enough to be able to carve "Emma Alive" into the tree bark.

As she dangled there for what must have been an hour or two - carving her cryptic message, I bet she wished she had something nice and sharp with which to cut the rope she was hanging from.

That is such a good point.
But given the other stupid decisions not only her but all the other characters made I not suprised she didn't think of that.

Ugh yea, unless she's super athletic that would be hard. Fully extend your legs and see if you can reach below your feet. Hanging upside down having to fight gravity would be nearly impossible for most girls. Plus she's probably already physically exhausted. Not an error at all.

[–] ticktickBOOOM 9 years ago

Wrong. Your life is literally hanging by a thread and you can't reach up and cut that rope ?

Plus I strongly disagree with your somewhat sexist view that it would be nearly impossible for most girls. It's a common excercise that people all the time and gravity has no bearing on it whatsoever. I used to do it all the time, hang upside down and pull yourself up, it works the abdominal muscles. My sister still does it.

She may be physically exhausted, but not too tired to carve a message into the tree, that can't have been easy. And in all the time it must have taken her, she didn't think to cut the rope ? Maybe she was just really thick.

The biggest error in the whole movie still stands in my view. Your counter argument is very weak indeed.

Haha, you're wrong. It's not an anti feminist suggestion. It's simply very difficult to reach below your feet when swinging upside down. The average person cannot do this. End.

You're wrong.

End.

I think you're wrong too.

People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

I totally thought the same thing when it first came on. Like why didn't she cut the rope if she had time to grasp a tree and carve her name in it. Even if she couldn't have pulled herself up (which isn't that hard the skinnier you are)(she was skinny) she could have grabbed the tree for support, hell she carved her name in it deep enough to be recognized 6 months later! And also shame on you for saying girls wouldn't be able to pull up like that.

Many errors in this movie fer sure. The end scene where cuts the lads neck and says no one lives... then walks out with no blood at all on his nice shiny white doctors coat. Made me larrf a little.

[–] drgreenthumb1001 7 years ago

he took the white doctors coat he had put on to blend in and stuffed it in a refuse container after he was done

[–] soldier_one_2 7 years ago

Oh right, cool ;) I must of gone for a pee when that scene came up.
Should've pressed pause. :D

No wait... Lol.

Think by that stage she knew even if she cut through the rope and fell 10-20 feet to the ground (injuring herself maybe seriously) that he would eventually catch her again quickly (if he wasn't already standing close). All she could do was write message before he got her again.. Cutting rope was pointless. She knew hunter would see message when he went to his triggered trap.

[–] drgreenthumb1001 7 years ago

Actually the fact she triggered the trap so close to a road was harder to believe then this.

It would be hard-to-impossible for someone who doesnt work out to be able to reach up while dangling upside down from a rope 10 feet off the ground and repeatedly hack at it with a shard of glass

It would take strong abdominal muscles, which most people dont have, especially rich heirs to family fortunes, she wasnt the athletic type, she was trim, but not athletic or muscular.

Being able to swing over to a tree grab on to it would take a lot of energy in itself, but it is more believable...plus, lets be honest, the movie doesnt show what happens to her scantily clad ass till you see her being taken out of the trunk... so use your imagination, like this film wants the viewer to do a lot in this film.

No average person could do what you suggest.
