Twitch posted:There are a ton of great subtle moments in Robocop. I love how all of the police cars scrape on the ramp out of their garage, which is just a great detail, intentional or not. From memory, I believe this is one of the earliest indications in the film that Robocop still has some of Murphy's personality in there.

Wild T posted:I like the idea that the first time he does it, it's because he's unfamiliar with the station and eager to get out and bust criminals. So he goes too fast, bottoms out on the ramp and throws a few sparks.

I can't decide whether this is a subtle movie moment, or just me giving the scriptwriters too much credit. Near the start of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, after Ron and his twin brothers rescue Harry from his uncle and they arrive at the Weasley house, they all sit down to eat and Arthur Weasley comes in and sits down next to Harry, where they have this exchange: quote:Arthur: "And who are you?" Bit of foreshadowing, perhaps - as Harry (depending on how you look at it) ends up as a "Good Lord" when compared to Voldemort's "Dark Lord." I mean, "Good Lord" is a common exclamation, especially in the UK - but there's also a million different ways that he could have said the same thing, so I dunno.

Pope Corky the IX posted:The fact that one crash made everyone say "gently caress it, we'll never try supersonic jets again" and scrap the Concorde is amazing to me. Had all the other airlines that had shown interest actually followed through with their orders then it might have been very different. Still, that can't really be blamed on them, if I remember rightly loads of laws were passed in the US and possibly elsewhere banning supersonic aircraft over built up areas because of the noise of sonic booms, and this made them a very tough sell)

SimonChris posted:In Gattaca all of the loudspeaker announcements are in both Esperanto and English because obviously Esperanto has become a global world language by then. Same with Red Dwarf (the UK sci-fi sitcom that started in the 80s, for those unaware) Signs on Red Dwarf are often in English and Esperanto, and there are quite a few jokes about it in the first two series. The books go into more detail than the show does.

Carthag Tuek posted:in die hard 2, terrorists hack into an airport system and the tower puts out a "yall stick to a holding pattern" to all the flights, at least 5 passenger flights just circling waiting for the terrorist situation to blow over instead of getting the gently caress out and landing at idk ohare or denver or whatever
