Inconsistencies or plot holes in films

Why did the US flag flutter during the Apollo 11 moon landing? There is no atmosphere on the moon.

Haven't you heard of the solar wind?

Part of the old "they never went to the moon" conspiracy theory

it was vibration from the pretty thin flagpole and crossbar

This has, always, been a source of irritation. To me.

Marwood (I) convinces Withnail to call Monty (to arrange a 'holiday' sub-let) and then goes for a wee.
Returns (via #PerfumedPonce) only to be informed that Withnail has spent "a hour" convincing Monty for an audience/sub-let arrangement.

All the flags and driving about and golfing larks was effects done in post-production. It was too dangerous - and a waste of money - to actually get out of the lander.

Surely everyone knows this?!?

Everyone knows the moon landings were faked, but what is less well known is that NASA did secretly land meen on the Moon using alien technology but The Deep State have kept that secret from us. They used pictures of the real, secret, landings that they don't want us to know about as part of the publicity for the faked ones that they want us to believe existed. Trust no one.

I prefer the solar wind theory

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I prefer the version that they called in Stanley Kubrik to stage it

but he is such a perfectionist that he insisted that it was filmed on location

Whilst watching the car chase in Bullitt the Dodge Charger pursued by the Mustang I noticed the same green VW being overtaken by these two cars five or six times. Another thing only technical, the Dodge Charger was far superior in power and handling to the Mustang they had to change to narrower tyres to give the Mustang a chance.

Was that from the baked beans in the space rations

Just remembered one from dr No, the first (proper) Bond film. Bond escapes from his cell via an overhead air duct. He crawls along for a bit then is almost drowned as the duct is evidently also a pipe for cooling water. Hang on a minite! Wouldn't it flood the corridors every time they needed coolant for the rocket launch?


(It's possible I've conflated two scenes but I don't think I have)

Withnail exaggerating for dramatic effect whilst having a loose grip on elapsed time is not really a stretch.

It's possible that one way valves came into operation, covering any openings in the air ducts inside the building.
