Best Movie Plot Holes

Superman flies around the world in the opposite direction causing TIME TO RUN IN REVERSE!

What??

This also flys in the face of everything he can or can’t do in the comics.

Technically if wanted to reverse time wouldn’t he have to reverse the “direction” of the Universe? Not just the Earth. All he is doing by reversing the Earth’s direction for a bit is increasing the number of hours in that “day”.

My favorite was a tv show- the 6 Million Dollar Man

Steve Austin was an astronaut who had a terrible accident. Scientists replaced several body parts making him the "bionic man". This included one bionic arm, two bionic legs.

The TV show had him running at 60 mph as well as lifting huge objects.

So here's the problems:

1. If his two bionic legs and his one bionic arm are moving at 60 mph, then how is the normal arm going that fast. It should have been flapping in the wind.

2. Unfortunately he had a normal body between that bionic arm and bionic legs. Shouldn't his body been crushed like a tin can when lifting heavy object.

....just saying

next up, the car chasing the train scene in the French Connection

"An Inconvenient Truth" The entire movie is one big plothole.

that comment held up well, rtard

The one I like is where someone on Earth is talking to someone out in space in real time ( when of course there woud be big delays in the signals ).

In the "Good. the Bad, and the Ugly", they appear to be fighting the civil war way out in the West.

So I cannot remember which one it is, but in one of the movies, Aragorn has the dead ghosts help him win the battle.

Those guys just crush through the orcs like butter. I always felt like that was too much like a Deus ex Machina.

Does that happen in the book too?

Also, it just seems like Gandolf could do everything by himself rather easily. Why does Frodo have to do it?

I guess I need to watch them again.

No, I cannot read. never learned...

There’s a plot hole right there! How did you read the post?

There weren't many but there were a few battles out west. In fact, if I remember right the first steam boat on steam boat fight was in Oklahoma.

The Matrix violates the first law of thermodynamics. If humans scorched the sky to deny solar power to the machines, how do the machines grow crops to feed the human power source?

That Superman can fly at all defies physics. The original premise was that his home planet had such extreme gravity that he could leap incredible distances here on earth. In the original TV series he could only leap, but beginning with the first movie he could fly. Unless he carried a rocket engine with him it would be impossible. And he would have to be lighter than air to hover.

A Star is Born, Jackson Maine would have been stopped by some someone (security) before he stumbled his way into the stage to piss himself.

Varsity Blues, at the end mox voice over at the end says the boys never played another game of football after that game. The game the team won at the end was for the division title, did the team refuse a state tournament bid? You would assume they would have to play at least one more game.

Also apparently there were no assistant coaches to take over for bud kilmer when the team revolted but the refs let the kids coach themselves...no questions asked.

In Stars Wars Attack of the Clones: Padme falls off of the ship with Anakin and lands unconscious in the sand. When she wakes up she tells the storm trooper “we have to get back to that hanger”. But she had no idea where they went. How could she know?

In Sharknado, Ian Zehring starts that low grade chainsaw with one pull. I can see if it was a stihl or husquarvana, but c'mon that Sears piece of crap would have taken 2 pulls at best. That ruined an incredibly accurate film to that point.

In Godfather 2 there was an assination attempt against Michael early in the movie. Michael knew something was up when he saw that the curtains were open in the bedroom. We later learn that Fredo was involved. Was he the one that opened the curtains? And why would the shooters be killed by the people that sent them and how did Michael know that would happen?

Why did Hyman Roth live in a middle-class home in Miami with only his wife to protect him? Why didn't they kill him then instead of sending a top family hitman on a suicide mission at the airport? And who was behind the attempt to strangle. Pentangeli at a bar?

Aztec, you surprise me:

1. Fredo probably opened the curtains - why is that unbelievable?

2. They were killed by Fredo/accomplices because if they were found alive, Michael would find out it was Fredo that set him up (now, thinking that Fredo could have killed the assasins, that’s a plot hole).

3. Nobody wanted Hyman Roth dead yet, plus living below his means keeps him out of the spotlight or police suspicion. (Plus there are probably guards posted up undercover).

4. Michael didn’t know he wanted Roth dead yet, so why would he kill him at the house. It’s only later that michael finds out Roth tried to kill him, so it makes sense to have to kill him wherever he lies (in the hospital, or at the airport).

5. That’s not a plot hole - most likely Roth, trying to make it seem like Michael did it.

Now I want to watch The Godfather.

Well done Seinfeld fans!

You forgot "Sack Lunch".

Ponce de Leon had one of the worst plot holes. The guy discovers the Fountain of youth, but it only works on him and no one else?

1. Fredo told Johnny Ola that he had been deceived by him and didn't know they would try to kill Michael. So Ola must have told Fredo to open the curtains so they could see Kay naked but instead they blasted away with machine guns?

2. It looked like the shooters were at the border and could have escaped. And how did the guys that shot them getaway?

3. If you're a mafia boss there is always someone that wants to kill you. Don Corleone lived in a compound in Godfather 1. His office was low security, though, and Fredo wasn't much of a bodyguard that fateful day.

4. Maybe, but Rocco Lampone was a caporegime and way too senior to send on a suicide mission. He made his bones during G1 and would have been the equivalent of a senior executive vice president by 1960.

5. Pentangeli would have been dead if the cop didn't show up so what would have been the point lie to him?

BAD NEWS BEARS!!!

The Torros score 2 runs in the top of 1st and 3 runs in the top of the 2nd. Kelly then hits a 2-run homerun in the bottom of the 3rd. This makes the Bears only down by 3 going into the last inning. In the lasting inning, Kelly singled to load the bases. The next batter gets hit by the pitch forcing in another run. This makes the Bears only down by 2 runs. In no way could Carmen by the winning run. Kelly was the tying run on 2nd base and the winning run was actually on first. The suspense at the end of the movie is for nothing as Carmen did not need to score.

Planes Trains and Automobiles. Guy spends a like week to get back home on Thanksgiving. He arrives on Thanksgiving day, but who gets the full week off to travel? Most people leave the day or two before. Thanksgiving isn't on Sunday.

Then it takes them a day to drive from Chicago to St Louis?
