It was never stated that Rafferty set up the peace treaty between the cops and the Old-town hookers. Only that he'd been in the papers. There's probably a lot of cops in Basin city, not surprising that no one recognized him. He pulled a gun on Becky because he was drunk and obviously arrogant and thought she would just get in the car if he flexed a little muscle. He didn't see Miho on the roof, or the girls closing off the only way out of the alley, so he had no reason to think he wouldn't get away with it.

Arise, ye thread!
In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, during the escape from Venice, in regards to the motorboat getting chewed up by the propeller of the merchant vessel: Would said vessel not have its propellers completely submerged in real life?

I have no answers, but that does remind me of another Last Crusade question that's bugged me for years.
They make a fairly big deal about Indy being stuck on the gun barrel of the tank by the strap of his little totebag. How, exactly, does he get free?

Er... The heat from the barrel burnt through the strap? Doesn't that tank get fired at some point in that scene prior?
Also, should "niggling" be legal? Isn't this just another example of the degenerating moral climate of our times?

Wherein passing ruffians can say "ni" to old ladies at will!
The tote bag conundrum has troubled me for many moons as well. Perhaps a more interesting question is how the tote strap became wrapped around the barrel in the first place, since it was, I believe, the same auxiliary cannon that got banana-peeled a couple of scenes earlier.
On that note; why does a rock wedged in the aux cannon completely disable it, whereas having an entire car draped over the main gun has no ill effect?

Yes.
Also, the small boat would be pushed away from the prop, rather than being drawn in as if it was a wood chipper. And would have been sunk/sinking much earlier. And those two ships being pushed together would probably have had fenders in between. No part of that sequence makes sense.

I have a question that is completely pointless and bothering me for no reason at all. In fact, that's it bothering me is bothering me. But anyway, I was listening to "Comfortably Numb" today and remembered watching a movie trailer where during the fade-out the line "I have become, comfortably numb..." played. But I can't remember which trailer it was! Can anyone help?

Not sure if it's the one (and I don't want to pause my music whilst I seek out the trailer, I'm lazy like that). My question is... in Robocop, for him to be able to grab a gun by the barrel and bend it, wouldn't the guy holding the gun by the handle need to be as strong or stronger than Robocop? Though perhaps looking for logic in Robocop is like looking for logic in... ummm... Robocop 2? |

Exactly correct, my good man. Equal and opposite reactions, and all that rot. That's the whole reason the bench vise was invented, because Robocop would never sit still long enough to bend guns in the Middle Ages. |

But the major thing you're forgetting that explains it all quite clearly is--HEY LOOK! ROBOCOP HAS A JETPACK! |
