Plot Holes (Spolier Alert!)

Anne's brain calls for help in the middle of the movie, Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr hears her cries telepathically and rushes over to the laboratory. He finds her brain by the gorilla, she is set to go inside the gorilla (to the best of my memory). But why does she cry for help? She can't make use of any of the five senses, the only way she can find out what's going on is if Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr tells her.

The "Elevator Killer" injects his victims with window cleaner, so everything dies except for the brain. Towards the end of the movie, Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr is looking for a body to put Anne's brain in. So why does he decide to inject a womans body with window cleaner? Wont everything die except for the brain, thus making the body useless?

Although these plotholes are very noticeable, they take nothing away from a movie with a sole purpose of having fun.

I realize that this post is nearly seven years old...

That said, look at the first sentence in your post. Anne's brain calls for help. You are looking for plotholes in a movie where a brain calls for help. Think about it. Better yet, just roll with it.

Gretchen: You're weird.
Donnie: Sorry.
Gretchen: No, that was a compliment.

The self set logic within a movie would still apply. So it is a plot hole.
The brain communicating with the doc is no plot hole.

I agree with you. I just noticed - AFTER 35 YEARS! - that he couldn't possibly use a body that had been injected with Windex because IT WOULD BE DEAD ALREADY. Oops!

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

He was looking for a dead one anyway. Remember he was looking in a mortuary before, there's even the brain dead.
So I'd assume that for the transfer it doesn't matter in which condition the body is, will be revived.

Yes and when the brain is in the oven she says its getting hot in here, again how would she know this?
