I.
Introduction
a.
Day Watch (2006) – Film introduction
b.
Hypothesis – The characters of Day Watch are
able to use the unique properties of their universe’s physics to empower the
characters as seen through a normal universe perspective.
II.
Objects have a strong gravitational pull towards
each other
a.
The car ramps and continues driving on the side
of the building without being pulled down by gravity. When the car finally stop,s
the pull from the building on the car causes the car to break through the
window instead of the car falling to the ground.
b.
The soccer ball bounces off of the goalie and
then accelerates towards Alicia.
c.
Anton kicks a dark other who flies back a few
feet and then accelerates into a parked SUV.
III.
Objects are not affected by Inertia
a.
Anton jumps on top of a moving limo and
instantaneously gains horizontal velocity so that he doesn’t get knocked down.
b.
Motorcycles ride out the back of a semi in the
opposite direction the semi is moving and do not skid upon hitting the snowy
ground but instead continue traveling the direction they are facing.
c.
A ramp is placed on the ground by a motorcyclist
in motion; the ramp does not skid on the ground but instantly stops once dropped
on the ground.
d.
Contradiction - A motorcycle lands and stops on
top of the truck, but when the truck slams on the brakes the motorcycle flies
off the front of the truck.
IV.
No Conservation of Momentum
a.
A moving bus runs into Zavulon, crushes around
him, and stops without moving Zavulon at all.
b.
The truck and semi collide and the smaller truck
plows completely through the semi, driving out the back end and stopping the
semi immediately.
c.
Yegor hit Svetlana with the yo-yo ball which
sent her flying in the air about 10-15 feet and smashed her into a pillar.
V.
Conclusion
a.
Laws of physics are broken in almost every
single action scene.
b.
The laws of physics in Day Watch allow for a
sense of powerful characters that are able to accomplish super human feats.
