Check me on this - do scenes where Our Intrepid Hero is freefalling, and manages to catch up to something also freefalling *below* him count, or is air resistance a large enough effect to physically explain this?
While I've always loved Wile E. Coyote in the cartoons, whether or not a movie's physics bothers me depends on how I feel I'm supposed to take a particular movie. When James Bond catches up with the falling plane in Goldeneye, I'm okay, because Bond films are essentially comic books anyway. I watch movies with a relative sense of reality. I can even handle sound in space scenes. Tried watching some of them without it a few times and they all felt like the scenes were too drawn out.
One thing that has driven me bugfsck for years, though, is shots of jet planes landing at an airport and the *squauk squauk* of the landing gear hitting the runway. I've never been able to hear that from the outside over the engine noise. It's hard enough to hear from inside the plane.
