10 Movies That Would Have Been Ruined If No-One Knew How To Drive Stick

8. We'd Have No Proof Ashton Kutcher And Seann William Scott Weren't Just Mentally Deranged

8 Dude Wheres My CarThe Movie: Dude, Where's My Car? I know what you're thinking (I don't). "But Ian, in Dude, Where's My Car?, they have the car already, so they know how to drive it! That's the basic premise of the movie!" Ah, but reader, how do we know that Jesse and Chester even had a car at the beginning of the movie? All we initially know about Jesse and Chester is that they don't use their heads very well, they have quite a vibrant network of acquaintances, and their memories generally aren't the most reliable. What if they just assumed they had a car based on some flicker of memory from the night before? Even if they did own the car, we don't know how or when or in what state of mind they acquired it, and how they were able to get it home. So it's a good thing Jesse and Chester were able to handle the car at end of the movie. All of their dreams would have gone right out the window. I know this one is a bit of a stretch (you haven't seen anything yet!), but if the Internet believes the ending of The Dark Knight Rises is Alfred's dream, anything is game in my book.
