I have GOT to hear your thoughts on this!
Please... indulge me!
Fine. But be warned, you started this.
omg lol
No, I'm not even sure which movie it's in. He's got a suit on, not the civilian clothes he's wearing when he does his first chase after the serum, and that painted shield. It's that elevator fight with all the armed dudes that get in. He pastes all of them and jumps out the side of the glass elevator car, I think.
There are several climbing scenes in movies where the rope systems are SO wrong. They're either pulling on the wrong colored rope, it's anchored into one spot and miraculously changes or rocks suddenly appear that were not there before.
I'll bet!
I am not familiar with very many movies or TV shows—it's mainly just what the kids watch—but there have been a few falling elevator scenes. The first one was in one of the Captain America movies. Steve (main character) cuts the top cables with his shield thingy in his bid to escape some people that were chasing him. The elevator falls at rapidly increasing speed, before the governor kicks in and activates the brakes. So far, so good. It even had correct rail placement. But then the brakes start sparking and keep dragging down... and down.. and wait, once the brakes are activated by the overspeed being tripped, the car stops in 6.5 inches, according to one source. It doesn't take five seconds, and it sure doesn't stop smoothly enough for Steve to keep his feet!The next one was from somewhere in season one of the X-Files. Some computer software became self-aware and started killing people, one by taking the elevator up to the 29th floor then dropping the car. The issue here is that governors work on a mechanical system, not electronic, bar the first switch that trips at a slightly lower speed than the flyweights which will overcome the springs with centrifugal force and stop the wheel from rotating with the speeding car. So, how could a purely computational force overcome a safety system powered by physics?? It can't, unless it got a person to do it, and the rest of the episode clearly showed it was working alone. There was even a shot of the intact governor spinning at speeds more than high enough to trip the physical system. So, unless my sources are all wrong, their representation of elevator failures are incorrect. If it was an older elevator with a unidirectional governor... the computer in the second example could have sped up the lift mechanism electronically and smashed it into the roof. That I could buy. But they didn't do that.
but there’s been some stuff in the Marvel TV shows or my crime shows and stuff where I’m like that’s so fake/no way that would actually happen or be possible, etc. but I can’t remember any specifics now lol
I will suspend my disbelief over just about anything—but I draw the line at incorrect elevator scenes.Wow I have never thought about that before but I can see why you would be annoyed!! But that said, I don’t think much of anything is accurate in movies, that’s why it’s a movie and I don’t think they aim for accuracy as much as entertainment value so I don’t really get as annoyed at that stuff. It wouldn’t be entertaining if it was accurate.
Wait... what show? Now I have to see this LOL
I am trying to watch all the Marvel movies but haven’t gotten that far yet lol watched all the Avengers ones (gave up on in order lol) and I have watched some of the individual character ones over the years but am now trying to watch those in order. I like the ones with all the characters though so I watched those first ha
Sherlock, season one episode one, the scene where Sherlock explains to John in the cab how he knew so much about him. They swap sides once in between shots then swap back in the next.
Ok... you're right. I'm pretty confident that the elevator stop was WAY too smooth to be real!I am not familiar with very many movies or TV shows—it's mainly just what the kids watch—but there have been a few falling elevator scenes. The first one was in one of the Captain America movies. Steve (main character) cuts the top cables with his shield thingy in his bid to escape some people that were chasing him.
