Headscratchers / Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry

• Why was Africa the only continent that wasn't visited throughout the Fabulous Super Race?
  • Not enough time in the movie?
• How did everyone know Tom's name when he only put his handprint on the contract for the race? Granted, someone may have told the staff and Buzz seemed to be unaware of his name until the last stretch of the race, where Tom was noted to be one of the highlights of the race shortly beforehand.
• If Dr. Professor hadn't been eliminated due the interference of Biff and Buzz, would there have been any chances for him to win the Fabulous Super Race? He seemed to be a really cool guy and his car looked one of the best from all racers. And he doesn't look like one guy who would easily eliminated due to the shenanigans of Tom and Jerry...
  • Not easily, but definitely possible. And considering how OP he seemed to be in comparison, that was likely why he was eliminated before he even got to take part.
• Before Soccer Mom's car was sinking, Tom switched the signs that made her go the wrong way. Jerry then came across this shortly after Soccer Mom made her way back to switch the signs... Several minutes passed between these events, though, which makes you wonder how Jerry was even close to Tom shortlyafter?
  • Perhaps Jerry took a shortcut. Or Tom had some problems with his car, costing him enough time for Jerry to reach him.
• Soccer Mom gets out of the Fabulous Super Race when her car sinks into quicksand at the Amazon Forest. As such, she never makes it to the South Pole. However, to reach the South Pole, the racers had to modify their carts into boats to navigate through the waters. However, Soccer Mom's vehicle was a family minivan, so, if she had made it to that point, how she would have proceeded with the race if her minivan couldn't be turned into a boat?
  • Probably asking the favour of someone she knows to use their boat. Being a friendly woman, she likely had some people she could turn to and ask help for.
• Why wasn't Gorthan retrieved by Irving nor by any organizer of the Fabulous Super Race if it was the fault of Biff and Buzz that he and his car drifted away from the South Pole? Yes, Gorthan made the decision to stick his tongue on a pole, but he did it because Biff and Buzz tricked him to do so out of curiosity.
  • They would have known that if the ice sheet the pole was attached to drifted away from the South Pole into a warmer lattitude, Gorthan would have little trouble unsticking himself from the pole and he could be on his way.
  • Not to mention the only reason Tom was brought back into the race by Irving was because J.W. found him to be the racer that boosted ratings high.
• Why do Grammy and Squirty fight for the backpack they mistook for a parachute? Assuming that it was a real parachute, all they had to do was just let Grammy jump with it and take Squirty with her. She could open the parachute and grab him at the same time.
• Why are Grammy and Squirty killed when they plummet into Borneo Island if Tom then fell from the same height and didn't die? To be fair, aside that Tom is one of the protagonists, Toon Physics constantly allow characters to survive great falls and just get hurt from them rather than killed.
  • Probably because they're not as durable, being an old granny and small dog with Tom being used to such things.
• How did Tom's Owner show up in the end to reclaim the mansion Tom and Jerry won if she had kicked Tom out from her collapsed house at the beginning of the film?
  • Probably staying at an hotel. It also probably explains how she knew that Tom and Jerry were getting the manor just by watching the TV that played the race.
