Unbelieveable Movie Scenes : what were they thinking?

It's a dirty bomb. Not meant to vaporise, just irradiate. There would be a relatively small explosion followed by a huge radioactive cloud.
I wonder why they brought in a Chinese fission specialist, then? You wouldn't need anyone with that knowledge base for a dirty bomb, nor would Goldfinger need Chinese help at all with his business contacts...

Because the script said so. Either way he very clearly states that it's a dirty bomb meant to irradiate the gold.
 
Yes, the original film was like that. The reason it looks artificial is because of how harshly Connery is lit compared to his background.

As for the toupee you notice it more because:

A - You've only ever seen it in SD before

B - It's a still frame
I certainly never recalled seeing such cartoony colors on the TV transmissions. Sure they were SD, but colors shouldn't really change that much. It looks like a technicolor cartoon.

SD desaturates colours a LOT. TV transfers back in the day looked grey compared to what was on screen.

The only time I saw the old Bond films on the big screen prior to the restorations was on really beat up and scratched prints but you could tell the saturation was there. It's actually very common to films of that era.
 
How about any number of movies where someone picks up a firearm they've never shot before and immediately make a world-class shot with it. I'm a really good shot but you need to pump a couple of rounds out of any firearm to get a clue where it's sighted, I don't care how good a shot you are!
And how about all the movies that show ridiculous groupings. I don't care if you have a rifle strapped to a bench, it's not going to put bullets into the exact same hole, and give up trying to do it while holding.
And arrows, too, for that matter. Do you have any idea how many people try to split an arrow on a target because they it done on TV?
In fact EVERY Zombie Movie, where trained Soldiers and / or Experts are killed in the first half of the Movie, while the pretty average Zivilian Protagonists are surviving.

Seriously...who is the Guy that writes those Storys???
AMEN. Zombie movies have never made sense to me at all. :confused

My favourite example is in a film I'm sure most here have never seen, Yor: Hunter of the Future.

A caveman, who's never seen technology before, is a crack shot with a laser gun when he gets one. :lol

Anyone else remember the show, "China Beach"? I'll never forget a episode where 'KC' is standing among the civilians being taught to shoot pistols in case they ever get overrrun. Fed up, she grabs the pistol and proceeds to rapid-fire several shots into pretty much the same hole, unsupported when the muzzle is clearly all over the place. That drove me nuts because I had shot competition as a kid against adults by that point and I knew that a M1911 is a tough pistol to control, especially if you're not even holding onto it very well. Seh'd have been lucky if any of those shots had hit any part of the target!
 
Taken 2...when the girl drives a stick shift...and pulls off a 180 in the middle of a high speed chase. And still never got her driving permit.:facepalm
 
Oh you both suck. I got the other guys in the office wondering why I'm crying now.
What about the ending of "My dog skip"? When the guy grows up and goes off to college and Skip is left behind, and those scenes at the end where he's slowly walking through an empty house, now that his pal is gone?
Dang, that's causing my eyes to tear up just typing this, and I'm, normally a very hard-hearted person (seen a lot of hate, pain and death in my time but something about pooches just really brings the weepy out of me). :cry

Babylon A.D.

Of all the badness that was in this movie, the one thing that stood out the most was every scene where the girl calls Vin Diesel Toorop. With her accent, it sounded a lot like his name was Tulip.

What about Under Siege, where Erika Eleniak goes from bimbo to super hot operator by the end of the movie after in the time line she only holds a weapon for less than 3 hours?
