In advertantly regarded as 'goofs'

Lets start a new topic.Obvious movie goofs, but there could actually be a plausible explanation for them.

For example:

1. Finn, after being caught in the Sharknado after successfully "electrocuting" it,ends up being stuck on top of the antena of the Empire State Building. In the next scene he is calmly walking off the roof of the building even though the antenna adds at least another 200 feet to the height of the building.
What few people notice is that at there is in fact a "rope ladder" attached to the top of the antenna , put their just in case a "Sharknado" ever occurred in New York City. Also it was placed there to help catch the next King Kong that decides to climb to the top of the Empire State Building.

2. Finn "survives' the "electrocution of the Sharknado, but Vivica A. Fox doesn't.
Just so happens that Finn woke up that morning and decided to wear rubber soled shoes. Vivica would have but they clashed with her outfit.

Any others?

3. The woman with the saw hand uses an electric saw which clearly has an extension cord, yet she has no power supply hooked up to her person. Clearly she was using static electricity to power the saw.
4. The hand which Finn pulls out of the shark during the climax still has an entire forearm attached to it, however his fiancé only lost up to her wrist. It is evident that her hand had started to sprout and if left uninterrupted it would have grown into a full genetically identical copy of his fiancé , much like the star fish.

Considering that she screamed when she was ripped apart by the shark, I'd assume Skye survived, was blown off the building like Finn was, but just got ripped apart in mid air whereas Finn didn't.

Finn seems to defy gravity when he actually goes upward into the shark's body to cut it with the chain saw (again using static electricity) while in the sharknado, but the same physics (the wind tunnel effect) that Al Roker uses to predict that the storms will merge together at the top of the Empire State Building explains Finns anti gravity effect in the Sharknado. And Finn learned of this effect during his airplane flight training school which he used to pilot the airplane (or is it Airplane.)

I'm still a little concerned over the previous scene where he is told that he has 8 minutes to get to the top of the Hotel and he wastes about four of it giving a speech to the crowd and then suddenly he's at the top with about ten minutes to spare before the Sharknadoes combine.

this one actually is listed in the goofs section, about how the 7 train doesn't stop at 96th street. but, our heroes could have transferred at grand central from the 7 to the 6 train; at times square to the 1, 2, 3, or C train; or at 5th Ave./Bryant Park to the B train; all of which do have stops at 96th street. being the heroes of the movie, every other person on the subway wisely followed them when they transferred, and the sharks stayed in pursuit.

I just spent a week in NYC riding the subway and this is, by far, the BEST comment on this page. At least to me, as I rode all those trains. Fortunately, the weather was calm. No sharks.
