I. Introduction – Three different movies scenes that applied to the principle of physic incorrectly.
a. Tim Burton’s Batman (1989) : the falling of Batman and Kim Basinger in the climax scenes.
b. Speed (1994) : the jump of the bus across the gap of the highway.
c. Spider-man(2001) : Mary Jane is saved from falling by Spider-man.
d. Thesis statement: For story telling and dramatic purpose, many scenes in movies, especially action scenes, have to violate the principle of physics.
II. Batman (1989) – the falling of Batman and the girl.
- According to the Second law of Newton, it is impossible for Batman’s grabbing hook can save them from such a big amount of force.
- Explanation and support
III. Speed (1994) – the jump of the bus across the gap of the highway.
- According to the force of gravity rules, it is impossible for the bus to jump across the gap of the highway.
- Explanation and support.
IV. Spider-man (2001) – Mary Jane is saved from falling by Spider-man.
- According to Galilao’s law of falling object, Spider-man couldn’t have saved MJ from falling.
- Explanation and support.
V. (There might be one more scene from a movie if my paper isn’t get to 6 pages).
VI. Conclusion
- Summary
- Restate the thesis.

Outline looks good except that the physics error you describe in Batman doesn't seem to be the same as that in the other two movies. Be sure to alter your outline, if needed, so that your paper describes how the three (or more) films violate the *same* physics (such as the rate at which objects fall). Score: 9 of 10 points.
