"Why Was Daniel Allowed To Do The Crane Kick In The Karate Kid (1984) When It's Clearly Illegal?"
"Many traditional martial arts competitions ban punches to the head, but are perfectly okay with kicks to the head. Why that rule exists varies depending on who you ask, but kicks to the head are usually perfectly legal.
Yes, I know that the Cobra Kai youtube series jumped on the bandwagon with this one, but I still say it's bulls@#t."
NASA uses that film for initial training of students/future astronauts and so far they have found some 167+ errors in the script.
Look at Russia the first time they wouldnt pay for auto docking at the space station and the pilots crashed into it. Didnt they train for that big time and yet still failed???
So an oilrigger with 14days of training would ace that?
"Armageddon" - yes, NASA/ESA/Russians call in mission specialists, but these are trained over months, not a few days...
It's a mistranslation from the original. It should have been a type of fur, not glass or gold.
Yes, front the French: "Pantoufle de vair", vair was a type of squirrel whose fur was rare and expensive. verre (glass) being an homonym, one can see why they got confused. Personally, I wouldn't want a breakable shoe that could cause a serious hemorrhage if it broke, but that just me.
Penny out here askin the real questions!
What normal person would think to do that in that moment, though?
It isn't just time elapsing. Many times, massive distances were traveled while something else was happening.
For example, how the hell did gendry go send a message to dany across the continent and have her show up in time to save the day in the middle of a battle?
I have no problem suspending my disbelief plenty, but that's just insulting to the viewer.
