* How does [[Film/BuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension Buckaroo Banzai]] fund all his research endeavors? Merchandising! A Buckaroo Banzai arcade cabinet and comic book are both seen in the film, comics are mentioned a few times, the Hong Kong Cavaliers play gigs (even if small scale like the one we see in the film), Jeff Goldblum's New Jersey mentions they put out records. . . Buckaroo is famous enough in this world that merchandising him and his cohorts likely funds most of what the Banzai Institute does. Though Chuck also believes the Department of Defense invested some in the rocket car, given the Secretary of Defense was in attendance for the test, but not all of what Banzai does would be of interest to the government.

* In ''Film/TheTerminator'', he notes that, aside from the very brief intro sequence, everything we see of the future is a dream, not a literal flashback (or flash-forward). Thus, the things we see [[UnreliableNarrator didn't necessarily happen precisely as depicted]]. For instance, Chuck believes Kyle's battle against the HK Tank where he got his burn scars wasn't a perfect recreation of any specific battle, but rather an amalgam showing how the war in general went for humanity (minimal gains achieved at great cost). ''VideoGame/TerminatorResistance'' defies this, with your PlayerCharacter witnessing this exact sequence of events as a real thing that actually happens.

** He also manages to make the IdiotPlot that was ''Nemesis'' make a surprising amount of sense by having it be all part of Janeway's plan to take over the Federation and the Romulan Empire.

* From ''Coming of the Fuzors Pt. II'': The fact that [[AxCrazy Quick]][[BloodKnight strike's]] mind came out the way it did ''without Predacon interference''. Either the crash really messed him up, or the Maximal's were transporting a very disturbed individual. Besides [[SerialKiller Protoform X]] I mean.
* When Chuck begins to joke and criticize Star Trek's social values and academic life-goals, it gets disturbingly dark on the nature of un-nurtured Humanity. Admirals ignoring safety requests from invaded planets, uncatagorized negotiations with various races, indulgences of primal desires. These people aren't really people, rather children with a business suit and a handgun!? To have this become a possible future for our decendents would be catastrophic.

* A doozy from his review of ''Film/ShinGodzilla''. The Japanese government has two weeks to evacuate Tokyo. Getting 13.5 million people out of a dense urban area in 14 days is already impossible, but Chuck points exactly how much worse it really is. The city has already been heavily damaged by Godzilla, who also killed most of the highest government officials. Even assuming you could move the people out efficiently. . . where do you put them? How do you provide food, water, shelter, and sanitation for 13.5 million people? How do you maintain order among this population when your emergency services are all tied down just moving them? How do you keep 13.5 million brand-new homeless alive long enough to get them back to being productive members of society, and how do you get them all back to being productive for that matter? Moving "a baseball stadium full of people every hour on the hour?" ''That's the easy part.''
