Headscratchers / Clifford

Go To

  • Why did Mr. Ellis insist that Martin redesign the transit system in a mere two days when Martin tried to convince him that it would not work?
  • Seriously, how does Clifford know EVERYTHING?
    • He must be a psychic of some sort. PSYCHO is more like it!
    • Martin calls Clifford out on not being a human being towards the end of the Dinosaur World scene, so he might be onto something.
    • How in the heck did Clifford fabricate a bomb and make it look like the cartridge Martin was supposed to use for his presentation?
  • If Clifford was dead set on visiting Dinosaur World, why didn't he take the liberty of simply going there himself if Martin could not take him or worse yet threaten to not take him there after the incident Clifford pulled at the gas station?
    • A good time for Clifford to have done so would have been when he supposedly tricked his uncle into boarding a train headed to San Francisco, but instead, we were treated to some scenes that absolutely made no sense.
  • Sarah Davis came across as annoyingly naive throughout the movie, especially towards Clifford's psychotic behavior he exhibits around Martin for failing to keep his promise.
  • Clifford's parents looked tired and drunk when they were with him on the plane headed towards Hawaii. If he wreaked that much havoc, why did they even bring him along?
    • My guess is that he alienated all possible babysitters.
  • Did anyone notice how Clifford is similar in nature to DropDeadFred? minus the British humor, of course! Like Fred, Clifford wreaks havoc wherever he goes; except Clifford is real, not a figment of someone's imagination. Is Sarah Davis the only one who was oblivious to Clifford's evil nature as the result of not getting his way?
