CharacterInconsistencies

Character Scotty Moore
Description Scotty's outburst at the Steve Allen Show seems out of character. He is typically portrayed as calm and collected, and his sudden anger feels unjustified and driven by the plot's need for conflict.
( Scene 7 (3) )

StoryInconsistencies

PlotHoles

Description The source and nature of the death threats against Elvis are never fully explained. While the Colonel uses them as a justification to keep Elvis in Vegas, their origin and credibility remain unclear.
( Scene 32 )
Description The explanation for Colonel Tom Parker's inability to leave the country due to his mysterious past and lack of documentation is introduced very late in the story. This revelation feels like a convenient plot device to trap Elvis in Vegas.
( Scene 39 )

DialogueAuthenticity

Description The carnies' use of a specific dialect with exaggerated pronunciation feels stereotypical and inauthentic.
( Scene 11 (2) )

Redundancies

Element Colonel Parker's emphasis on "security"
( Scene 32 Scene 35 )
Suggestion The Colonel's repeated emphasis on security, particularly in relation to the international tour, becomes repetitive and could be streamlined for better narrative flow.
