Dusty don't dust crop no more!



This is what happens when you watch your toddler’s movie a million times.

There are soooooooooooo many mistakes in Planes: Fire and Rescue that should they decide to make a third, ahem, “film,” like oh I don’t know, Planes III: Propellers Down!,  I should be hired as a consultant.

The proof.


How the hell would any plane or forklift or four wheeled vehicle of any sort get a picture on a wall? How would they even develop film? So absurd.

When they bring down the water tower, what did they use to throw the hooks? Tires? Propellers? Don’t think so. Point for me.

The bar scene. Don’t get me started. A tow motor throws a dart. Doubt it. Doubt it even more that a puny dart could flatten the tire of a monster 4x4. Unrealistic to the max. (Did like the joke about the "pick up truck" and his line - "Did you just drop out of a B13? Cuz you're the bomb.")

The scene where the old couple, Winnie and Harvey, are entering the park, he has a huge stack of tires stacked on top of the vehicle and then they show the entrance, he could NEVER make it under without taking some tires off.

And lastly, Dusty Crophopper’s eyes (as if!) are located on his windshield. (And oh by the by, does it freak no one else out that these machines have teeth?) And yet, he looks at his altimeter and other instruments which are located INSIDE his cab. It would be like he is looking inside himself. So stupid. How did they miss this in editing? Sloppy work.

Hard not to overlook these. It’s gotten to the point where the only redeeming quality of this film is that Curtis Armstrong, or “Booger” from the Revenge of the Nerds movies, was cast as Maru, the genius mechanic tow motor/forklift.
