When the commissioner comes in and sees Axel he says: "Is this the man who RUINED the buffet at the Harrow Club?"
Yet when Axel mocks him a moment later he says: "Is this the man who WRECKED the buffet at the Harrow Club?"
That just ruins the whole film.
"Come on, Skip. It's go-go, not cry-cry!"
Rarely have I been around people who, when mocking somebody who was just talking to them, got it exactly correct.

That just ruins the whole film.How so? Where is the gap in the storyline? How does that go against the story's flow of logic? A plot hole is essential to the story's outcome. This gap is meaningless, and altogether pointless, at best. share
Didn't you read the OP? The guy said RUINED, and moments later, Eddie Murphy said WRECKED. It's as plain as DAY, that is NOT what the man SAID!
shareOf course I read what the OP said, but more importantly, did you comprehend what I said? Based on your reply to me, I doubt it.
shareWell it's clearly a plot hole. I mean, if you were one of the guys on the LAPD, would you listen to a word Foley said after such an obvious blunder? There's just no way. Plot hole.
shareAnd you consider this a hole in the plot?
For the record, the rolled up paper the Chief had in his hand were his lines. He was working on them right up until he had to do the scene.
So, it's not impossible that the line is actually "wrecked" and Eddie said it right.
However, given the diction of the Chief, "ruined" (with no hard consonants) seemed the more appropriate word than "wrecked". In this, I think the actor Steven Elliot was right to use the word "ruined" even if it was technically a mistake.
