Question about the movie 'Daylight' with Sylvester Stallone...?

[battleknight24]

I was on the site movie-mistakes.com, a web site where people discuss contuniuty mistakes, historical mistakes, and plotholes that occur in movies. I submitted a mistake about the movie 'Daylight.' I argued that the beginning of the movie is a little unrealistic because it is against the law for vehicles transporting hazardous wastes to use any of the tunnels, and that the PA cops would have pulled over the truck drivers as soon as they tried to enter. Somebody refuted my nitpick and said it was unlikely that they would be pulled over since none of the trucks were labeled "Toxic Waste."

Okay, this is going somewhere...

So I decided to refute the refutation by arguing that a truck carring exposed yellow chemical barrels would SURELY get pulled over by the cops.

So what do you think???

1. I think the movie sucked.

But I would have to agree with you.

Another plothole was that the bitch that wanted to let those people die so they could start moving traffic in and out of the tunnels would never have happened becauseit would have taken days if not weeks to repair the damage.

2. I like this movie... in a 'guilty pleasure' sort of way...

... you have to admit... the explosion scene is kind of cool... I went to visit my brother in NYC and I went through one of the tunnels by taxi... and I was kind of paranoid...

3. Of course you're right....

But the entire tunnel (and it's "pump station" or whatever they call it halfway along, coming out of the water) is complete fiction. There has never been a tunnel anything like that in NYC. Kind of like the "art museum" in Ghostbusters II. They just made up a feature of the city.

4. these films require the suspension of disbelief...even 'Reservoir Dogs'...

had a monumental brick of illogic weighting it down:
if the cops had an 'insider' during the planning of the robbery, they would have all the evidence they need to get a search warrant and arrest warrants for all the participants BEFORE the robbery occurred. The cops would have busted in as they were getting ready to rob the place -- all the evidence would have been there to convict all of them of conspiracy to rob. So the robbery, and the resultant shoot-out, never would have occurred.
But then we would have missed out on one hell of a movie.
