Perhaps someone had copies of their work from Cyberdyne, maybe someone went and retrieved data from his home computer...we don't know because it seems nobody bothered to explain it in the movie (So i guess from peoples comments).

Like "Alien 3" I don't really care to have to come up with fantastical reasons (story wise) on my own to explain why someone wanted to make more $$ churning out an unneeded sequel...thats the writers job. If they can't do that correctly then why should I waste my time with it?

I'm OK with time travel paradoxes since it's the nature of the genre. I don't really consider them continuity errors.

My big problem with The Terminator is how Reese didn't know what the Terminator looked like. He had to shadow Sarah Conner until the T-100 made a move on her before he knew who it was. That plot point is fine, until the sequels come along.

So Reese didn't notice the line of Terminators standing behind him waiting to follow him into the time machine? They all looked the same, and were reprogrammed to protect John as a boy in T2 and later as an adult in T3.

OK - so maybe there wasn't an actual line in front of the time machine. But it still doesn't make sense. Am I to believe that in the future Reese never encountered another Terminator that looked like Arnold? Then what are the odds that all of the T-100s sent back in time looked the same?

Re: Evil Dead 2

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre series.

Taking "The Beginning" as the first part, the family becomes cannibals because their is nothing else for them to eat. However in the TCM remake, their house is full of pigs and the slaughterhouse (which had different lettering) is full of fresh looking beef and is full of cows.

The Ring Two negates the Samara back story from part 1.

In X-Men 2 you see Hank McCoy in the background of a newscast in human form talking about mutant rights. In X-Men 3 Hank has always had blue fur (he got it from a lab accident in the comics).

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Shredder wore red, but in part 2 after he rose out of the dumpster he was wearing purple.

In Return of the Living Dead you don't become a zombie if you get bitten. Only contact with Trioxin will turn you into a zombie. In parts 2-5 if you get bit you turn into a zombie, and earlier sequels you couldn't kill a zombie by shooting them in the head. You could in parts 4 and 5.

I also hate when in horror films, when one film will say the only way to kill the villain is by a certain object, then in another sequel they will say something completely different can only kill the villain.

I always thought one of the biggest problems with both Terminator sequels is that in the first film it's established that only things encased in living flesh could travel through time, hence no clothes or weapons, yet in T2 and T3 the villain Terminators aren't encased in living flesh when they travel through time.

Then how come Blofeld introduces himself to Bond in YOLT?

Perhaps it was changed for the movie? I dunno.

It's not like the Bond movies were always 100% accurate to what was written in the books.

I don't recall which book it was (my Uncle read it not me)...either "The Spy who loved me" or "For Your Eyes Only" doesn't even have Bond show up until 2/3rds into the book.

Actually he was still wearing the red when he reemerges. April looked different though.;)

Speaking of TMNT II, it takes place maybe a day or two after the first film, yet April already has a new, fully furnished apartment and the turtles have been ordering pizza from that kid for what seems like weeks.

Bookwise sure, but we're talking movies here. Simply explantion is the most obvious one. Both Blofeld and Bond have had cosmetic surgery done to them. Heck there was even a line cut from the movie acknowledging this.


Re: the Necronomicon being destroyed in one movie and appearing intact in another. It's a mystical object. Anything's possible...er, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand things with alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures. ;)

Once again: the Necronomicon only "reappears" within the recap. After that they have to resort to using the additional pages Annie & Ed brought because THE BOOK WAS BURNED IN THE PREVIOUS FILM.

Billy Dee Williams suddenly turns into Tommy Lee Jones from Batman to Batman Forever.

It was six years, it wasn't that sudden.

That would only be the case if Riggs' wife had just died. I got the impression that she had been dead for a while (wasn't the Lost Boys on one of the marquees). Of course, there are plenty of other continuity errors in Lethal Weapon (like the kids aging faster than Rog).

Well, more sudden than Michael Jackson. ;)































:lol:

More ROCKY continuity problems:


ROCKY II: Rocky almost goes blind. Can hardly see out of right eye.

ROCKY III: Eye problems miraculously gone. Possibly could've gotten corrective surgery with all his money, BUT:

ROCKY V: Suffers brain damage from Ivan Drago. Reportedly can't get a boxing license anymore.

HOWEVER:

ROCKY VI: Manages to get a license to fight again, despite all his previous brain damaging and having aged more than a decade.

I don't get this. The stuff we see in Superman II is the act of them getting caught, then their trial. In Superman I, you only saw their trial. It's just more information, not differing.

The Lost Boys on the marquee was because Donner was an executive producer on that flick. The movie is set in 1984. Dr. Woods tells the captain that Riggs' wife "was recently killed in a car crash". 3 years ain't recent. And Riggs wouldn't become suicidal only then.

the thing that always bothers me about the Evil Dead series is the book looks completely different in each movie, i like the one in part 2 the best and hate the big one in AOD

"I'm Winston Zeddmore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but these things are real. Since I joined these men, I've seen shit that'll turn you white."

Yes, they are. The skin on Terminators is living skin, they say that somewhere in at least one of the movies.

Right. Reese explained all that in The Terminator.


IIRC he also said only dogs could detct them right away.

But Arnold explained to John in T2 that the 1000 series was made of liquid metal. Where's the living tissue surrounding that?

And Reese also explains that he couldn't take or transport any type of weapons. Well, in T3, not only is she liquid metal, but she can now turn into complex machinery.

Haven't read through the entire thread yet to know if this was mentioned, but Superman Returns has major continuity errors as it all but ignores III and IV.

Yeah...

As would any parent.
