Bars on the window and we can't get out (crashes through window)!


I saw this was covered in the goofs, but it really bugged me how Alex plainly points out that Emma's room has bars on the windows...and then he crashes through it! Jesus, who does the editing on these movies!

I 100% agree. I also got annoyed at the scene where Alex (after beaten to a bloody plump) goes to the door to get the keys. Next, we see him rescue Rocky. Then, they both run to the door and start to unlock it and then bam.

When he was at the door the first time, my first thought was that he was unlocking the door to provide a quick escape but no.

Yes, I thought this as well! They really made it a point to show him standing at the door and fidgeting with the keys, so I assumed that's what he was doing as well. He seemed like a smart kind, but I guess not!

I usually don't notice plot holes or goofs when watching movies like this but this one was so obvious it was almost annoying how nobody caught that when editing. They clearly show that whole room having bars on all the windows yet he somehow crashed through one of them and landed outside...OKAY.

reply

I know - it really stood out to me as well. If Alex hadn't pointed it out, I probably would have overlooked it. But the fact that he said it - well, that's just sloppy editing/directing!

Yep, it was pretty stupid. Such a glaring error.
