Enc
5/13: The best and the funniest moment of Encino Man is when Brendan Fraser walked through a glass door and got smashed in the face.

As we all know, he went on to do bigger things while his co-stars, Sean Astin and Pauly Shore, had seen their Hollywood careers flame out. Back to the film, there are a lot of logic problems in regard to how the two boys found the caveman, especially in this kind of physical condition. There's no way a chuck of block within 10 feet from the ground will stay unmelted for thousands of years.

After being stuck in the block of ice for, oh I don't know, 100,000 years, it's not possible for Link to be able to walk anymore. Just ask anyone who has been out of a ten-year coma. Or better yet, watch Hard to Kill with Steven Seagal. It's also not possible for the hole, which is substituted for a swimming pool, to hold any gallon of water, let alone 1,000 of it. Finally, at the end of the film, pray tell me where did the Encino Woman come from?

All in all, if not for Brendan Fraser, Encino Man wouldn't have worked.
