So I might as well voice my pet peeve: *why* are they zooming along in a helicopter trying to reach the cave before it's sealed off ("Close the blast doors! Close the blast doors!"), and then in the next scene they're bouncing along in a jeep? Like why didn't they just fly right up to the door? (I know - then they couldn't have crashed through the gates). And when the kid is breaking out of his Touch-Tone (TM of you-know-who) jail, as long as he had the access plate off, why didn't he just short the door-opening relay or whatever mechanism? I mean recording the tones was just too much. Whoever saw the sign about the dogs must have been sitting in the front row with a good deblurring algorithm. Speaking of WOPR's, did anyone notice the name on the bag of the burger the General was eating? Burger King. Oh well, I probably would have wasted those 4 bucks on something else anyway.
