      "Molotov cocktails do explode, they did massive damage to tanks in ww2 and beyond. "
      LOL
      Yes, because they are filled with gasoline, you extreme super-genius.
      "This scene was explained multiple times I am still amazed that people dont understand it."
      double-lol!
      Why is it that those who are the most dense, are also the ones who are so "amazed" that others cannot grasp the concepts which are so easily understood by them?
      I think the term "So dumb, that they don't realize they are dumb" applies pretty damn often.

        look up a flaming b52. a lit paper half dipped in that proof will keep a constant fire going. Throw that sucker into the belly of the beast that's been spewing highly combustible green fart gas and then you get an explosion. Pay attention and try to keep up next time will ya?

            Right!!!!
            Everyone is so stupid! Obviously the bottle came into contact with the mechanics of the UFO and that's what caused it to blow up. It's really that simple to understand. It baffles me that people struggle to comprehend something sooooooo simple.

              You're comparing the durability of a WW2 tank to an extraterrestrial ship that needs to be durable enough for interstellar travel.

                  Drinks burn over 51%. No need for being heated. I assume there are some whiskies in the USA with an alcohol content of 51%

                      Actually it's hard to notice, but the "martian lizard" on the ground caught fire easily after it touched some of the residue flames (from the bunker explosion). It would then make sense that even a small flame might trigger the big flying thing explosion.

                        Agreed. It's like in War of the Worlds. There are people who have figured out ways to combat them and have survived.

                          I don't have a problem with the alien being combustible (not a spaceship), but it was a total Mary Sue moment. Someone who wants to design dresses is whipping up Molotov cocktails in 5 seconds flat.

                            You're kidding, right? She's shown has having survival instincts throughout the WHOLE movie. She discovers she's locked up, she makes a makeshift shiv with her crutch. She realises how dangerous Howard is, she tries to steal his keys. She discovers he's been lying the whole time, she comes up with a plan to escape. How is using materials available to her at the time to make an easy explosive any different to all that?

                              Exactly! Pretty much everything she does and learns to get the hell away from Howard basically ended up preparing her to deal with all the crazy s*** going down once she got out of the bunkerlike an emergency crash course in survival techniques. She sure as hell wasn't sitting around painting her fingernailsshe was scrapping, scheming,and hustling every chance she got to get the hell up out of that particular Dodge. So, no, that was nowhere near a "Mary Sue" moment at all. Everything she did during the entire film had been slowly but steadily working up to that particular moment of her throwing the bottle and taking that alien the hell out.

                                  If it was a male fashion designer I would be equally skeptical.
                                  The difference between her and MacGyver, is MacGyver actually had a lifetime of training.

                                    Survival is a very primal aspect that can come out of us in the most tense of situations. This girl no matter what, was listening to her instinct and not trusting the guy. Even though the irrefutable proof was in her face that something was indeed wrong with the outside air in how it corroded that lady's face, but this girl kept fighting and fighting to get out.
                                    This is what the whole movie is about. How if it wasn't for Howard, she would be dead by the aliens. She went from undecidedish fanshion designer to survivor, and with all that momentum to get away from Howard, she pwned the aliens.
                                    Great movie!

                                      yep, after what weeks of being traumatised of Howard, by the time she saw the aliens she wasn't afraid of them at all, nothing compared to having to escape from Howard. She was all adrenalin-ed out

                                          "You possibly don't respect women?
                                          Sometimes they do have common sense and can figure stuff out!!!! "
                                          Yes indeed, they sure can. Well, in movies anyway. That's why this film is science fiction. "Fiction", means it isn't based on reality, y'all. Women, in the real world, could never do such advanced things, like figuring stuff out, or maintain even an entry-level degree of common sense. It just doesn't happen.
                                          But in Sci-Fi, anything is possible! That's the beauty!!!
                                          Monsters can rise from the bowels of the earth. Aliens can forcibly date-rape your face and cause you to carry their illegitimate offspring. And equally outlandish.women can behave as intelligent and thinking beings.
                                          You see? That's the wonder and excitement of Sci-Fi. It's a majestic, entertaining, brilliant fantasy world in which we can escape the sad and troubling realities which we face every day.
                                          Isn't Sci-Fi great???
