Ek tha tiger: torture in science

After a watch of the movie 'Ek tha tiger' starring the heartthrob of the Hindi film industry Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif i am simply confused of the theory i studied and as someone put it 'maybe the director didn't know there is Physics'. Some points i put down here for your reading pleasure.



1. Iraq: The first scene, Salman jumps out of the window to land on a car. When he jumps, the car is at such a distance it cannot be there in the next second. Considering the fact the car was going real fast he must have been thrown off it: the relative velocity thing comes into play here. Anyways a hero is a hero.




2. Dublin: Salman going on the roof of the train to stop it. Come on there is something called to the emergency stop button on any operative system!!! Ok he didn't know that maybe, up he goes and the suit is his insulation from maybe say 33000 Volts of electric potential and he comes unscathed while we use specialised gloves and equipment in the power sector. Amazingly, the suit is still wearable after the action scene, next time i gotta buy that make of the suit.




3. Istanbul: Both protagonists go out of the hotel the next morning they plot and no hotel staff notices in a place where diplomats are being hosted there is no security protocol. But in the spur of the moment, why do governments pay so much to maintain such big estates for their embassies?




4. Cuba: So seasoned are our protagonists, they kill a 'bad man' in front of a security camera and still keep staying in the country. My thought, maybe they assumed the camera to be a dummy as in our places at times.



To my reader, i am not against the movie industry just that an appeal if forwarded to them, just keep the physics in mind.
