If the killer's hand was blown off by Quaid 30 years earlier, why is his hand shrivelling up and disappearing only 30 years after it gets blown off? Shouldn't he have no hand for the last 30 years?
shareI don’t see what’s so hard to understand. I mean, I wanna believe time travel isn’t real but in the movies it makes sense why the killer’s hand wouldn’t be gone all that time, even though it happened 30 years ago prior. It’s just like with the scratch he got.... it’s just like at the end after we figure it out that after the killer got his hand blown off in the last that all the sudden history changed and the dad was alive.
It all just boils down to how time travel is portrayed from movie to movie. This kind of thing also happened in the Van Damme movie Timecop when the younger senator got the scratch on his face and then we see all the sudden where the future senator had this scar on his cheek from outta the blue.
But then take the Christmas movie Scrooged with Bill Murray- when the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back in time to all the points he took him to, there is no interaction. He said it’s not live, it’s like a rerun.
Since there are no rules for defining time travel, it’s really anybody’s best guess on how they wanna say it works.
