Gaping Plot-Holes In Popular Film: We think WAY too deep into this shit! - General

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;44515656]Whenever a person uploads something to the internet, it instantly goes viral. Happened within literally two seconds on the new captain america movie.[/QUOTE] If it's a news story or something groundbreaking, that's not too unrealistic. Maybe 30 minutes is more like it, but still.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;44515656]Whenever a person uploads something to the internet, it instantly goes viral. Happened within literally two seconds on the new captain america movie.[/QUOTE] 2 seconds is a bit exaggerated, but nowadays shit really can go viral in as little as 20 minutes.

Mark shaving his beard in The Room is never menntioned again.

The Dank Night Wises. Bruce is in the middle of nowhere, just got out of a hole dungeon in the ground, and is able to somehow make it back to Gotham. In a spiffy new suit. While Gotham is under lockdown by both Bane and the Govt. Just... what.

[sp] In the scene at the end with the council. The send button is pushed and one of the characters goes, "Look, already trending." Within lifting her thumb[/sp]

[QUOTE=Molokk;44513945]I don't know much about the Star Trek lore, but in Star Trek 2009 when Nero's ship (the Narada I think is the name?) approaches Earth... heck, when it attacks Earth there's like... absolutely NO other Starfleet ships around. I mean where is Starfleet when that happens? Forced plot hole so that the events can occur as scripted? I would have expected something along the lines of an entire Starfleet armada showing up on the Narada's door asking Nero something like "[I]so, yeah, who the fuck are you and why are you attacking our planet?[/I]". But... nope, Nero's ship starts beaming the Earth and there's like complete nothingness on Earth's orbit, no patroling ships, no space station signaling Starfleet that something "kinda wrong" is going on. Or I just missed something in the movie that I just don't recall.[/QUOTE] A big chunk of the fleet is eliminated by the Narada at Vulcan. But I can see how this would still be a plot hole, as Earth was entirely defenseless against the Narada. It didn't even have any orbital defense systems, why is that? Also, thinking about how TNG dealt with timelines being changed, I think it'd be cool that if in the next J.J. Abrams Star Trek film, the crew and Starfleet as a whole are changed dramatically. Their armaments, their fleet, even down to things as simple as their uniforms.

Indiana jones played no role in raiders of the lost ark.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;44516649]Someone trained in deception by arguably its greatest master vs a bunch of mooks, who do you think wins?[/QUOTE] He had no money, no passport and no access to his gadgets or resources but he managed to make it back to the US from whatever shithole Bane put him in and then get into the city when the only way in was over bridges which were constantly guarded on both sides.

[QUOTE=Dr.Critic;44513291][B]Iron Man 3 [/B]- House. Party. Protocol. The fuck, Stark. [B]Enders Game [/B]- We have a fleet of less than 10 capital ships to fight off an alien armada of hundreds, yet somehow we could afford and had the technology to make a ship powerful enough to destroy an entire planet or half of a fleet in one shot. Right. [B]Transformers 2[/B]- The entire final sequence. 1) There's a massive battle near the Great Pyramids, but no tourists are seen anywhere. The Egyptian army never appears. In fact, the only living things other than the 'MURRICANS that are seen for the most part are natives in shitty houses! 2) The Americans mobilised (inexplicably fast might I add) and deployed a fucking naval expeditionary force in Egypt like its nothing, the political shitstorm doing that without permission would cause would be unreal 2b) [I]The Americans fucking destroy the pyramids with a railgun.[/I] 2b-ii) The American naval commander listens to any twat with a radio that tells him to shoot a classified superweapon, without asking for authorization from anyone, and with basically no delay 3) The entire world would have seen the massive battle between giant robots from outer space and the American military, yet there is nothing to suggest this at all, there's no international crisis from everybody going "what the fuck" mentioned in either this film or the next Yes. I had to sit through both of those movies.[/QUOTE] 3b) The pyramids are right outside Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Presumably someone could have noticed a little bit of noise and stuff.

ok so you know in harry potter how hermayonnaise and harry time travel so harry can see who casted a patronus or whatever then it turns out it was him why do they stop using that so much shit could have been prevented they could've saved sirius, and found the horocruxes a lot faster ??????

Iron man hacks into SHIELDS data base and saw all their sects, he should've seen that they had been infiltrated by HYDRA.

Literally my only problem with the dark knight rises is they don't tell you what happened to bain at the end after catwoman shoots him with the bat cycle's Cannons Is he dead? Did they put him in arkham? Tha fuck did he go?

[QUOTE=credesniper;44518721]Iron man hacks into SHIELDS data base and saw all their sects, he should've seen that they had been infiltrated by HYDRA.[/QUOTE] Hydra was hidden well enough that even Fury didn't know and he had access to all of that data as well.

Even then, what's to say something different or worse wouldn't have happened later? I don't know if the time turner was lent to her and had to be returned after the book, which would explain why it never showed up again.

If they went back in time to stop voldemort from killing Harry's parents, then Harry would've had a happy life, and would've never used the time travel thingy, and because he doesn't use time travel he can't go back which means that voldemort is still alive, but that turns into the original story again

Why the fuck were the UN scared? 5b) When the resistance does get underway, and everything is going to shit, and the Americans send in their planes, the rest of the planet does fuck all. Noone sends any aid at all to stop the Decepticons from enslaving the planet and teleporting a giant building project next to Earth. 5c) Just to rub this idiocy in further, the end sequence is an 'MURRICA fanwank with American flags waving in the background as the Americans walk victorious.

You ever notice that nearly everyone in a movie or TV show will have the exact same cellphone? A good example would be Dexter. In a few seasons, all the characters had the exact same Nokia phone, that displayed text messages in oversized white letters on a blue background. When the show got a bigger budget, every character had an iPhone. Yes, I know. . .phone manufacturers help finance a movie, so their phones get featured prominently. But sometimes, it's just glaring.

Also, everyone has exact change.

I'm just going to repost this from 'The Last Movie You Watched' thread in F&T. I doubt anyone will be able to find bigger plot holes than the ones in this: [quote]Wing Commander (Sci-Fi) - 3/10 I saw this on Netflix and decided to give it a try since my Dad was always a massive fan of the vidya series. This is one of those films that you don't realize just how shit it is until you've finished it. In fact, the score I gave it halved the moment the credits rolled. At first I noticed a few clichés when they appeared, though by the time I was done I realized that almost everything that happens is a cliché. -The brunette dude is obviously the protagonist, and the moment he talks to a brunette woman (this being, the uh, Wing Commander.) you can already tell what is going to happen. -She bears no actual impact on the plot other than being a hammy love interest. So why is the movie called Wing Commander? - You have Captain Reasonable and First Mate Unreasonable that interact with the protagonist. The former then dies, and then suddenly First Mate Unreasonable has a 180 change of character and becomes reasonable inexplicably. -When the ship takes damage from the front by torpedoes, before shields are even down, fires are breaking out in the middle of the ship. The Captain dies from a head wound despite being hit by nothing, his head just bleeds and he dies after a torpedo impact in his chair. -The entire movie is about a Kilrathi (space cats.) invasion fleet heading towards Earth, and basically all the good-guys do is uh, get there first? At the start of the movie the crisis is that nothing is defending Earth. When they get there, there is a giant Human fleet. -So, you've waited ages, through a ton of build up for a massive space battle. The Heroes have reached Earth. The Kilrathi are sending in one ship at a time! We keep killing them before they can send a message back reminding their pals of this fact! Oh, ok, so surely there must be some sort of cliché unexpected ambush/device about t- Hero snogs love interest directly in front of Captain-previously-an-asshole-but-now-not and the credits are rolled. I think a few of my braincells died at that point.[/quote]

Pacific Rim, Mako adds TWO GIANT CHAIN SWORDS to Gipsy Danger while she's being refitted and never bothers to tell Raleigh about it until the ~big reveal~

Not really a movie but a show. The ending of BSG, the modern one. Where the fuck did kara go?
