Line 73:
** If you're outside the event horizon, you can escape if your engines are strong enough. Once you cross the event horizon, ''nothing whatsoever'' can get you out, period. Physics acts differently inside a black hole. Not that there'd be much [[Inertial Dampening|"you"]] left at that point.
* [[Montage]]s used to demonstrate the effect of global events often show it being approximately the same time of day around the world.
* ''[[Armageddon]]'' is loaded with Hollywood Science, to the extent that it has become something of a [[Running Gag]] on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20050815000425/http://badastronomy.com/ Bad Astronomy website]. Some can live with it, some can't.
* An incredibly horrible example from ''Bad Boys 2'': A truck carrying some cars is traveling at very high speed. One of the cars falls off but is still attached to the truck by a chain. It hits the ground and digs in, thus acting like an anchor. Said truck's rate of acceleration actually seems to increase!
* A good example of bizarre Hollywood logic can be found in the movie ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]],'' where one of the two villains has a diamond-created [[wikipedia:Laser cooling|laser-powered cooling system]] necessary for his survival. Laser cooling Does Not Work That Way. It is for cooling groups of atoms from "cold" to "''damn'' cold", please pardon the imprecision of that expression. It wouldn't work for anything like the setup in the movie.
