The door gag really bothered me. All you have to do is put one nail through the board, clinch it outside, then knock.
Someone turnes the board, lets you in, then turn the board again. No need for any kicking.
Then again, most people would rather fight with the door than fix it.
I'm sorry baby, I had to crash that Honda.
The wind was too strong for one board and one nail.
Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

Also that gag killed me every time. Especially because it seemed like the actors weren't hammering the way a "normal" person would and intentionally hammed it up.

i lol at that, why do all actors choke up on the hammer?
shareI think the point was they were doing it the absolute funniest way possible.
Might not have been realistic, but it was hilarious. I've rewatched this movie a lot and this gag still splits my sides.

John Ruth and Warren both surmised the mexican fellow broke the door...very perceptive and not a small detail evaded them the fateful night
shareI guess that could work. The nail would have to go through the frame-side, and not the door itself, and so it would take a pretty long nail (upwards of 7 inches, including the bent portion). It could not be nailed through the door, else the wind would simply blow the door open and the board does not grab anything (as the door opens inward toward the store). I hate to be technical, but in looking at the frame, it looks fairly thick. A shot of it can be seen here for now:

So getting a nail long enough and driving it through that block of wood might be tough. On a more minor point, you would need something to hold up the wood (so it would not flop down), and yes, it might take 2 boards. But one would have thought there was a better way to shut the door. I thought a rope could be fastened a couple of ways. And of course there was some comic value to the door.
Yeah but... it was way funnier that way. 😅
