21 Monstrously Stupid Pieces Of Writing In Godzilla
11. Surviving The Bridge Jump
Nobody would survive that. Its more than 200 feet down into a river. You would, at the very least, snap your spine or be knocked unconscious and drown. If a train then falls on top of you too its fairly certain that youre a gonner. But no, Ford is just a little dazed and is perfectly fine to continue on to jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet and perform a HALO jump, as Simon noted, with ZERO training. Given his track record he shouldnt even have bothered with the parachute since hes clearly Captain Jack Harkness in disguise. The most the guy ends up with in the whole film is a bit of a limp and even that disappears a few seconds later.
10. School Busses On The Bridge
This needs almost nothing more to be said other than the title but why would there be a bunch of school busses evacuated across a bridge that we know Godzilla is likely to be coming near? Is there no communication going on? Also, the dumbass driver who decides to floor it and nearly kills several soldiers along the way, what was he thinking? His bus gets blocked in one second then hes driving off the next? No sense, no consistency, no point other that to introduce the oh the children, what of the children!? suspense. Are we so immune to the loss of adult life that we only care if its children in danger?
I.T. Consultant, technophile and Doctor Who fan. I like to talk about tech, take films apart and make excuses for Doctor Who's continuity errors. No other show has the power to make me feel like a big kid.
