What's the most plot hole-ridden movie you have seen?

[marvelman2006]

How about in spiderman 3 when peter throws a pumpkin bomb at harry's face it only burns half his face but in spiderman 1 the same pumpkin bombed vaporized the entire osborn board of electees.

Or the goblin has bombs with different yield.

 

[chaseter]

This summer:

1) ASM
2) Prometheus

 

[chaseter]

^ And the same bomb also completely annihilated the symbiote in SM3.

Seems these bombs just do whatever you want them to do.

And the same bomb turns into pumpkinarangs...TOMG the bombs can do whatever!!!! Or maybe...he has different types ya know, like the comics.

To me that didn't bother me. I just chalked it up to finding out that in the Terminator universe, all time travel accomplished diddley squat. You can't ultimately change the past(which is all skynet has been trying to do since otherwise it loses the war). It's a conundrum but rather a good kind, I think. It works against the humans in the past so that averting the war and skynet is futile as the universe WILL ensure that there is no paradox of skynet not being created. All they can do is alter the HOW of it. It WILL happen. But at the same time all of syknet's efforts to alter history so it doesn't lose the war are also futile.

But that still creates paradoxes. If Ahnold can't get the job done in T1, then in the future Skynet would have sent something better to get the job done thus T1 never happening....same for T2. Skynet also sends more robots back in time after John Connor's previous experiences with robots...so they already know to run and fight. It just makes no sense time travel wise...too many paradoxes.

Do people here get extra points for being so unashamedly patronizing? Can't you take a conversation more lightly, and not feel like you're constantly addressing 14-year old trolls?

It goes hand in hand when people in here think things through a bit more, the replies are less patronizing....no offense. You didn't laugh at the guy who said a plot hole in TDKR was Batman standing on ice?

I laughed.

Again, plot holes are elements from the film that should logically prevent the story from moving on the way it moves on in the film. Complete contradictions, or the movie equivalents of oxymorons if you will.

They are NOT things you don't understand, things left unexplained, or things that would usually be impossible in real life. Movies are not real life.

I don't see how Batman being able to walk on this ice in TDKR is a plot hole at all...

When the ice is so thin that men walking across it carefully fall through, but Batman is able to jump onto the ice from 50' up, while wearing an extra 100 lbs of armour? That's a plot hole.

 

[chaseter]

Why did Gordon not fall in then? How do you know Batman jumped down?

If that takes you out of a movie, I suggest you stop watching movies.

 

[moviedoors]

I don't consider the ice thing in DKR a plot hole. Maybe implausible, but Raiders of the Lost Ark is implausible. I consider a plot hole something bigger. Like High Tension negating most of itself so it could have a twist, or Perfect Stranger, where characters behave in ways inconsistent with their actual motives in the name of obfuscating a twist.

 

[Mace Dolex]

If there was one thing that bugged me in the Nolanverse, it was Bruce's sudden... world-class motorcycling ability. Where did that come from?

Did the League of Shadows give him a crash course in motorcycle stunts off screen?

Granted, they could have just said that he'd been riding in his spare time or something. But it's never addressed.

You want the real reason? he's the GODDAMN Batman. t:

[Naked Shia]

a plothole is something one uses on SHH to make fun of a popular movie, because he can't stand its success.

 

[Cagefighterkip]

The theatrical cut of DAREDEVIL, from 2003. A lot of head-scratching moments (though the 2004 director's cut fixes a lot of those problems).

 

[marvelman2006]

My only plot hole with the terminator movies is how would skynet know in the future if connor is successfully killed as a kid/ young man in the past? I mean the current timeline that skynet is in would remain unchanged like loosing the war, its not lke everything would change around them to where they wanted it. And if connor was killed who's to say that another human couldnt accomplish the same darn thing, I mean does skynet get a text or tweet saying "mission accomplished" from the terminators? The terminator movies in some respects represent the problems I have with time travel in general when depicted on screen.

 

[HopeOfTheFuture]

Terminator Salvation and Terminator 3 have a lot of plotholes. So much illogical stuff that they disgrace the series.

Other plotholes filled movies are Transformers 2 (haven't seen part 3 yet).

Also Vidocq comes to my mind. I liked the movie, but there was a large plothol:

Spoiler

If Vidocq had seen the face of the murdered, and survived the attack, then why didn't he immediately capture the Alchemist when he contacted Nimier about Vidocq's biography. I would say that Nimier and Vidocq would have had contact immediately after the failed murder on Vidocq? Yeah, I know, Vidocq didn't involve Nimier at a certain point, but still, he could have killed the Alchemist instead of setting up this major line of events (in which other people were killed, which could have been prevented by immediate action).

Hangover part 2 (father suddenly accepting Stu as son in law, accepting that his favorite talented son lost his finger, etc etc).

Blade Trinity. Blade kills a human of which he thought was a vampire. Yet in the first movie he explicitely tells Karen that he can indentify vampires by the way they smell and move...

I understand that in the novelization of the movie, the T-1000 went back in time encased in a sack of artificial flesh & blood. Then when the cop found it, the T-1000 burst out and killed him, taking his identity. But since they skipped that in the film, it's a major plot hole.

It's not in the novelization. Just a fan thought/explanation.

 

[Steyin]

That's still pretty damn minor compared to Terminator 3 though.

The whole premises of Terminator 3 directly contradicts everything in the sequel. Skynet is still made (even though they destroyed everything, including backs ups in Terminator 2).

And that's just the first major plot hole.

T3 happens and Skynet still exists because of the same thing from T1: the terminator's arm/hand is left behind.

You can't change the future, it will just happen in a slightly different manner.

I believe the BB novelization mentions some classes Bruce takes up at Princeton, including some race car driving course or something, which explains how he can handle the Tumbler so well, and thus the Bat-Pod.

 

[Destructus86]

The Dark Knight Rises had some pretty large plot holes, here's just one...

Spoiler

When Batman was flying the bomb out to sea, there were mere seconds left on the counter. How the hell did his craft have enough velocity to get out six miles and with a margin which allowed him to bail out? Is that craft really capable of going 500+ miles per hour?

Just really stupid, ruined the end for me to a degree.

Obviously, it ws actually Superman dressed up as Batman, duh!

I was just about to argue against this, when I realized you actually do have a point. The arm from T1 was destroyed, but most people seem to forget that Arnie loses his arm in the fight with the T-1000 in T2. It is plausible that the company that developed Skynet was able to use THAT arm as inspiration for their supercomputer. Also, while the scientist who dies in T2 (Dyson I think his name was?) was the one most directly responsible for the creation of Skynet, he wasn't the only one working on it. Other people had seen the CPU and the arm from the first Terminator. Other people had seen the research that was spawned from those artefacts. Other people likely had their own research on their own computers at their own homes. In order to truly stop the creation of Skynet, they would have to hunt down and kill every single employee that had anything to do with Skynets creation, and destroy any work he had done on the project.

I find that rather implausible. The arm was just there for a visual. The Terminator's chip was the key.

And the arm was mangled in those gears... so yeah.

No, Terminator 2 makes sure there is no way that there can be a Terminator 3. At least not one with a Skynet.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Actually one plot hole that really bugged me was in Toy Story.

Woody seems to be rather obsessed about Andy and his future (it drives the plot). And that makes sense, for "new" toys like Buzz. But in Toy Story 2, we learn that Woody is a toy from the 1950's .

Yet they never touch on Woody's life pre-Andy.

Plot hole, or something else?
