2. Its A Small World
Walt Disney PicturesThis is another entry that can and does happen in real life, but the regularity and scale with which it happens in movies is much more unlikely. It happens an awful lot in space-based movies - and we find ourselves back with Star Wars again. In Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker went looking for Yoda in the Dagobah System, after being advised to do so. He knows nothing else about Yoda's whereabouts and is not familar with that particular area of space. Remarkably, Luke finds the right planet immediately and even lands within what seems like a couple of hundred yards of Yoda's little hut. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids provides us with a smaller-scale and more earthly example of such a convenient occurrence. When Nick Szalinski and Russ Thompson, Jr. are picked up by a bee (when they're in their shrunken states, obviously), they find themselves being flown all around the garden on its back. Bearing in mind the garden was estimated to be the equivalent of three miles long to them when they were shrunk, the bee conveniently dropped the pair off right next to the other two kids, Ron Thompson and Amy Szalinski. Remarkable.
