I love you bring up continuity and how it affects major or minor things. It is when the writing is bad when you notice the big failures. An example Game of Thrones Season 8 infamous Starbucks cup. Even if it was plainly visible, I say it is more obvious because of the writing being so bad that people are les focused on what the characters are doing and more on the set itself. Another example, I recently re-watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and as much as I enjoy that movie, I was able to notice something most viewers were able to consciously miss. Namely the scene in the beginning where the Russians are gunning down the MPs at Hanger 51 one of the actors is clearly acting like he is firing his gun, but after a few shots, the gun stops firing as they were using non-firing replicas instead of blank-firing guns and added the muzzle flash on post-production.

Boromir was dead from the first arrow in the film.

That is a common Hollywood thing. I forgive mostly because in the context of that scene, you have no choice even a blank gun fired that close could injure or kill someone so they used either a non-firing replica or a real gun that was given an empty magazine and added the gunshot sound in post. That is how you avoid an Alec Baldwin.

And they are never used that way. They are mainly used in naval engagements.

Continuity is the editor’s job as they are the ones who edit the different takes. That it why the full term is properly called continuity editing which is what UE was talking about.

I mean they could have blown the bridges and keep the Orcs out.

Those aren’t writing problems or logic problems. They are all explained in the movie itself or by prior movies in the last case. Bruce’s back was changed from being broken to being dislocated the dialog of the scene where it gets fixed mentions the vertebrae is sticking out and was getting put in the proper position. How much injuries it takes for people from a fall is not known even today and we see the potential risk with the first person who clearly hits the war after the drop. The cops are mention in the film are complacent and so making a dumb decision (which isn’t really that dumb as the sewers are huge and would require a large number to cops to do so) but not every cop goes in we see Deputy Commissioner Foley and others remain above ground to handle command and control. Bruce showing up makes sense as in the continuity of the last two movies we saw he had contacts who helped him travel covertly and preemptively answer another alleged “plot hole” they didn’t know he was Bruce Wayne so it is not like a lack of money would be an issue to get him to Gotham. The Dark Knight actually travel an even further distance (the movie indicates the Pit is in The Middle East while The Dark Knight has him travel to Hong Kong) under very similar circumstances. They just assumed the audience would remember the last two movies and decided to skip that part.

Except that isn’t really accurate. They use their firearms when necessary all the time. And Bruce does work to help elevate the less fortunate but even that isn’t enough.

Yep. Another example of how more realistic the original films are, despite being fantasy films was Aragorn’s fight with Lurtz (the lead Uruk-Hai who killed Boromir) occurred. A lot of the blows he hands on Aragorn are real. The actor was actually hitting Vigo Morton in that scene.

@Faktor13 Because explosives aren’t supposed to be thing until Saruman invents them.

From what I heard $200 out of the total was used just to secure the rights.

@terrylandess6072 Except as something who thinks often Nolan films don't have those cracks. Anyone who pays attention and thinks a bit longer can see the answers.

If I was watching the show, the moment that would have made me quit was the volcanic eruptions causing nobody to die. It is clearly pyroclastic eruption like what destroyed Pompeii there is no outrunning that.
