Wasted days and wasted nights

Ever sit down to watch a movie and 10 min. into it ,you realize that "it" is far less than a "B" movie but for what ever reason you just can't stop watching ?..... Late last night unable to sleep,(midnight) I sat down with my box of Whoppers...turned on the TV and surfed around looking for something interesting/entertaining to watch... I see a movie "Delta Force III".... I remember the Chuck Norris Delta Force movies... no Oscar winners for sure, but good action scenes... lots of "blow 'em up stuff".... passable plots..... Okay, I'll watch this one..... first thing... no Chuck Norris.... but I've watched other sequels that didn't have the original actors and they were okay, so I decided to watch it anyway..... 10 min. into this movie and I'm thinkin'... you have got to kidding, I've seen x-rated movies with better acting and editing.... but for some unknown reason I could not stop watching.... It'll get better..... nope....It became comical.... In one action scene a guy is shown shoving bombs out the door of a helicopter at the Delta Force guys who when seen from the chopper are "pinned down" directly below... but when the bombs go off seconds latter the Delta Force guys are a hundred yards away.... In a one on one fight scene the Delta Force guy is shown getting cut with a knife on his left cheek and blood running down his face and neck... 5 seconds latter as he is dispatching his foe... no cut..... In another scene later in the movie the token female is seen with disheveled hair, sweating and totally stressed trying to unlock a computer that keeps rejecting her codes... cut to the Delta Force guy trying to defuse the "bomb" for 30 seconds.... back to the token female, now with perfect hair and make up.... back to the guy defusing the bomb... back to the female, once again with the disheveled hair.
I wanted to get some paper and start keeping a running count of all the goofs and obvious oversights in this movie but I was having such a good laugh watching them I just couldn't break away.
