Why didn't the hippies have a car? They certainly didn't hike all the way to the middle of the desert, and there's no reason to leave their car miles away.
Why didn't jack give them the code right away, have them open the case, take the pages out of the book, lock the case back up and run away? After all, he thought only the book was important.
Why did Marwan torture the hippie guy to get the football when all he wanted was the book and he already had it?
If the football was the MOST IMPORTANT THING, why were the dozens of people at the crash site and only two people picking up the football?
Why couldn't the helicopter blow up both trucks, and sort it out later?
Why didn't the fighters stay around to guard the plane? Don't they have small-arms for strafing anymore? Couldn't they have launched weapons at the cars? Couldn't they help follow the cars?
Why don't people strap themselves in when their plane is going to crash? Are they completely stupid?
Why doesn't the CIA hire Marwan, the guy is simply brilliant?
They could hardly get a single cell to pick up their phone (remember she had to walk all over, but somehow the bad guys were able to triangulate AND determine the direction they were heading?
Do you think your cell phone would work in the middle of the desert?
OK, that's all....
Wait, one more thing. Why is there a major power substation in the middle of the desert? And why does it seem to be made up entirely of corridors? And why is it unmanned? And why wasn't it surrounded by a fence? And why wasn't the door padlocked?
Good questions! (ha)
But, the thing about is... it is SO entertaining, and you have to believe that when Tarzan wants to swing, there IS A VINE!
Marwan wouldn't put up with all that romance crap going on at the office, that's for sure.
One of those bullets to the head of those sillies would work wonders.
They didn't know about the stealth bomber and the plane being attacked until a few minutes before. No time to get much to the location. (that was because of a lapse which has yet to be discovered about the missing pilot)
But since they did get Jack out there, why just Jack and one guy??
(did make it more dramatic though)
They WERE NOT hippies, people.
I believe they said you needed both the book and the case, although later it looked like the book was enough to do major damage.
Yeah, I couldn't figure out why the helicopter couldn't off both trucks either.
