Johnny Mnemonic/Wall Banger

The infamous Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves in an adaptation of a William Gibson Cyberpunk story is one Wall Banger after another.

The Opening Scroll explains how in the year 2021, corporations "rule", and a resistance movement emerged to take down the corporations. The corporations' response to the growing resistance? Use their immense power and influence to ~~bribe and win over government and law enforcement to work for the corporate interest~~ hire the yakuza.
The Lo-Teks fight their enemies with crossbows and falling cars, in accordance with their low technology values. They also hijack satellite television signals to broadcast their own messages globally and use a cyborg dolphin to hack into human brains.
- To be fair, the same contradiction occurs in the short story ("barbaric" tooth implants from dobermans?), where it's Lampshaded by Johnny.
Johnny points a gun at J-Bone and demands J-Bone tells him who he is. J-Bone immediately tells Johnny (a total stranger to the character at this time...who could be anybody...and who is pointing a gun at him) that he is the leader of the underground resistance that fights the corporations, and then J-Bone points to where his base of operations is. In a bit of Fridge Brilliance, however, this particular act of stupidity eventually does lead to all of the resistance movement's enemies finding out the location of their headquarters from Johnny.
Shinji's molecuwire whip can cut through anything you can think of...except for a chain-link gate for some reason.
One of Ralfi's bodyguards helps Shinji chase down Johnny and Jane after Shinji killed Ralfi. Why would she want to help the person who killed her own employer and the person she was supposed to bodyguard? Your guess is as good as mine.
