Absurd scene in the movie which needs to be pointed


There is absolutely NO WAY for a man to be able to walk after getting stitches. Much less leave no trail of blood to be followed. He was found weak and injured in the streets and near dying during the stitching. The hell he gain super powers to walk so fast?

That's one of my gripes about Prometheus too.

Guess I must have imagined walking home from the hospital after I got mine, then...
You can't go jogging as if nothing were wrong, but if the stitches are good and the wound isn't massive, then they should hold and you can walk OK without any blood seeping out.
In fact, that's kinda the point of stitches, really.

Prometheus, on the other hand, shows Noomi Whatsherface being *insanely* acrobatic immediately after major surgery.

Totally agreed, ttaskmaster & peltzer.
I had intestinal surgery (not keyhole) some years ago, was up walking round the ward the next morning, and home 2 days after that! The wound sometimes ached slightly, but stitches removed in 10/11 days. No way the squaddie could have walked? Of course he could. He was young & determined and if you have fear for your life, believe me, one can achieve some miraculous feats of energy, endurance and strength. Call it spirit. Indomitable.

This is incorrect. It's normal after surgery im hospital to walk to the toilet the same day.
