I did search for a topic discussing the Wolf Man movie and couldn't quite find one that fit so having just watched it last night I had a few things on my mind. I love this movie but there's a number of things that really make me scratch my head.
1) Bela clearly doesn't want to hurt anyone so why take on reading someone's palm when it's night time and it's a full moon. Yeah, I know, there wouldn't be a movie if he didn't but still.
2) Bela turns into a normal looking wolf and when he turns back, he's fully clothed except for his bare feet. Now it sure didn't look like the wolf Larry was fighting had clothes on so if they were already gonna do something inexplicable as his clothes magically reappearing when he changes back, why make it even more inexplicable by not letting his shoes and socks reappear as well ?
3) If Maleva has a charm that can break the evil spell why wasn't Bela ALWAYS wearing that thing and then there'd never be a problem ? And why doesn't Larry ask for it back from Gwen ? If there's even a chance it could work, why not try it ?
4) The Gypsies all panic and pack up when word is spread that there's a werewolf in camp (Larry) but weren't they used to having a werewolf in camp all the time because of Bela ? I find it hard to believe none of the other Gypsies knew that Bela was a werewolf.
5) And of course there's the famous scene where while Larry's feet are getting all hairy, he's apparently putting on a shirt and buttoning it up.
I'm sure there's more but those were the first things that popped into my head. Sorry if this stuff has been discussed before. I know pretty much all of these movies have moments like this but the Wolf Man seems to have a bit of an abundance. But like I said, I still love it---it's one of my favorites !
