Spider-Man II Train Fight Defies Newton's Laws

Spider-Man II Train Fight Defies Newton's Laws

It has always bugged the hell out of me how Doc Ock could throw Spidey forward from a moving train, and then get landed upon by Spidey when he comes down. Arrrrrgh!

Hey all! We're getting ready to launch a new fansite concept here at ComicBookMovie.com, so you'll see some fun and unique new content appearing as we test this out. A new part of this site will be named "Super Bloopers" where we will be devoted to nit-picking the more fanciful aspects of super hero movies that defy reason--even for fantasy movies. And here is the first topic in that series.



When I was going to school in the good ol' days, besides having to walk 10 miles in the snow in bare feet, I was beaten with a herring until I learned the basics of physics. We were taught Newton's Laws, and that is why the above clip pisses me off. It seems this blooper defies at least the first and second laws.

First law:
"A body continues to maintain its state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force." This law is known as the law of inertia.

Second law:
"The net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration."

Third law:
"To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

What do you say? And please tell me what your top peeves, errors, bloopers, etc are from your favorite comic book movies.
