Untitled[edit]

I have noticed that most Wikipedia entries for movies contain an analysis of the movie's realism, and a discussion of any factual errors made by the movie-makers. This article for Cliffhanger is a good example. Perhaps the 'bolt-gun' sounds far-fetched, but after all it is a movie. It's purpose is to entertain, not to teach us about the mechanics of rock climbing. Thoughts?

My objection is that the plot depends on things that are simply illogical or impossible. For instance, Stallone free-solos up an ultra-difficult route to reach his friend and novice girlfriend, who had to have gotten up there by some much easier route. (Novices don't do overhangs.) Why didn't he go that easier way, which would be much faster? Second, why couldn't the friend lower the novice and then rappel down? Rappelling, even multiple rappels, is all arms, no feet needed. And so on, and so on. Climbing is plenty exciting all by itself (witness the real-life story of the guy in Peru that had to crawl down by himself - everybody in the theater was wincing at his pain), it doesn't need to be pumped up with ridiculous scenarios.

Its a movie! Pure entertainment, its not supposed to be realistic. ToJPhantom 12:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree entirely that it is a movie and not a documentary of film claiming to teach you about rock climbing. One thing which i was unsure about, why did Sarah's clip break? was it a manufacturing fault, or was the equipmnt not used appropriately? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.73.139 (talk) 13:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
