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

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;44513361]Nobody was in the room to hear Charles Foster Kane whisper his final word[/QUOTE] The Butler was actually in there with Kane, he was just offscreen. Or so the script says. The real question is, why does anyone give a shit about Charles Foster Kane's last words when basically the entire movie pictures the guy as an asshole who died alone without anyone caring about him

[QUOTE=WastedJamacan;44523475]That's not exactly a plot hole. [sp]It's implied that she died and came back as an angel[/sp] [/QUOTE] I know that but it's just silly, it really is.

how come willy wonka isnt shut down for health and safety violations? do inspectors even go in to check for health or labour violations? how did he convince an entire race of midgets to work in a chocolate factory why does he have a chocolate river? wouldn't dust and insects and shit get into it? (not to mention the fat kid nearly drowning in it) why does the candy shop owner give free candy to all of the kids but charlie? wonka mentions his gum turned oompa loompas into blueberries before that girl. shouldn't he have tested it on animals, or realized that his gum was shit after not one but several oompa loompas? who manages his finances? how does he manage packaging and shipping, advertising, etc? why does grandpa joe sit in bed for 20 years, and then magically walk again when the ticket is shown? the grandparents never move from the bed for 20 years. how do they shit? are those grandparents so unfortunate they only had one child each, or at least only one each to support them? how come oompa loompas work for a clearly insane factory owner who uses them for experimentation and keeps them locked up inside a factory where he only pays them in chocolate?

I mean, Wonka goes to an exotic land (in Africa) and captures a bunch of short people (called oompa loompas, totally not analogous to African tribal stereotypes. also pygmies) and brings them back to work in his factory.

No other chocolate factory in the world has one. - Oh, I think you meant the older one with Gene Wilder in it. Charlie had a paper delivery route. - Same version as before, I [I]think[/I] she took it, not was given it. I'm sure the attitude was "Gimme that!" - Oompa Loompas. Also Oompa Loompas. - There's finally a reason to get out of bed. Think he always could walk, just didn't bother. Or maybe he did get out when no one was looking. - Bedpans exist for this very reason. - Explained in the modern version, beats having to defend against all sorts of beasts in Loompaland. But I also don't know which version is truer to the book, never having read it.

How did the King of red lions carry Link all the way from Forsaken Fortress to Windfall without a sail

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;44526509]How did the King of red lions carry Link all the way from Forsaken Fortress to Windfall without a sail[/QUOTE] The big R button. It allows you to move the boat without having to rely on a sail. Slow, but it works.

[QUOTE=Stonecycle;44526545]The big R button. It allows you to move the boat without having to rely on a sail. Slow, but it works.[/QUOTE] But that's a function only Link can do, and he was unconscious during that time

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;44526592]But that's a function only Link can do, and he was unconscious during that time[/QUOTE] And what makes you so sure of that? Just because the boat's alive doesn't mean it couldn't have turned its head around really far and done it himself. Or the King [sp]turned into his human self[/sp], leaving the boat dead like every other boat (at least this is a presumable thing), and done it himself. Maybe Link's not doing anything and it's the boat that's moving on its own.

That threw up a red flag when I was watching it.

[QUOTE=SteakStyles;44513709]Gremlins multiply when wet. They came in contact with snow, which in theory should have melted on contact and thus caused them to multiply, but nothing happened. And it can't be that they need to be submerged for it to work as near the end [sp]Stripe merely dips a claw into the fountain and starts multiplying[/sp]. It happens to be a well known hole in the whole being of the Gremlins from the 1984 movie, let alone a plot hole.[/QUOTE] The Gremlins films straight up dont work at all-- the whole "dont feed them after midnight" thing. Technically it's always after last night's midnight. What's the cutoff? What about timezones? What about anything???? Like Gremlins owns but its entire basic concept is totally flawed

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;44527616]the whole "dont feed them after midnight" thing. Technically it's always after last night's midnight. What's the cutoff? What about timezones?[/QUOTE] THIS was totally touched upon as a joke in Gremlins 2. It also IS a completely valid point/plothole.

May have already been said buy in Avengers when Thor drops his hammer on the Helicarrier it should have dragged the whole ship to the ground, especially because Hulk couldn't even pick it up.

[QUOTE=vladnag;44528406]May have already been said buy in Avengers when Thor drops his hammer on the Helicarrier it should have dragged the whole ship to the ground, especially because Hulk couldn't even pick it up.[/QUOTE] And I think it's been said tons of times that the inability to pick up Mjollnir has nothing to do with it becoming absurdly heavy.

[QUOTE=Chaplin;44518627]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 ??????[/QUOTE] Hermione returns the time turner in her third year after dropping divination and no longer needing it to attend all classes. Amongst other reasons.

So for example in the movie Thor he is not even able to pick it up after being sent to earth because he is not worthy of it's power.

[QUOTE=vladnag;44528406]May have already been said buy in Avengers when Thor drops his hammer on the Helicarrier it should have dragged the whole ship to the ground, especially because Hulk couldn't even pick it up.[/QUOTE] By that logic Mjolnir would fall through the earth until it hits the centre of the planet, and then it wouldn't move.

Not a film, but the episode of Friends where Monica gets stung by a jellyfish. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBtSH2AHwjY[/media] This scene bugs me because Chandler says that he can still hear the screaming when he goes to sleep at night, and that Joey says he sometimes screams at night just to freak him out. But they're wearing the same clothes as they were when they were at the beach earlier in the episode. NO NIGHTS HAVE PASSED YET.

"Ah, Mr. Chekov. I never forget a face." I know I'm not the first to be bugged by this line in The Wrath Of Khan. It's well established that Pavel Chekov had not joined the Enterprise bridge crew by the events of the Original Series episode Space Seed, and had never met Khan.

[b]Dark Knight Rises:[/b] So.. Bane's huge battalion of mercenaries in Gotham. How exactly did he hire them? How did that board meeting go down? 'yeah, so you guys are all guaranteed to die in a huge nuclear explosion and therefore won't get a dime for your work, but you get to be beaten up by batman' Why didn't anyone rebel against Bane, let alone join him? He's a scary motherfucker but there were literally thousands of guys, all armed....

[QUOTE=Cabbage;44529880]Shit, I never thought of that. My guess is three of the four corners were fastened, and he just lifted one and squeezed through that way?[/QUOTE] It might have torn that way though. I guess another argument is that he was in prison for years, so he practiced.

[QUOTE=Doomish;44529324]This for sure "We're not going to try to justify anything that happens in this movie because we told you that you shouldn't care! Hooray lazy film making! :)"[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? Everything felt explained when the movie was over to me.

[QUOTE=matt000024;44531383]What are you talking about? Everything felt explained when the movie was over to me.[/QUOTE] I'm talking about when the movie's directors literally said "don't bother thinking about it" and Bruce Willis' character literally said "it doesn't matter don't bother thinking about it", as if time travel is not an integral part of the plot but here is a legit plot hole anyway: The whole reason loopers exist is because nobody can get away with killing anyone in the future and so you are sent back in time to be killed by one, and yet a dude blasts a hole in Bruce Willis' wife's gut after using their future tasers on him like two minutes prior, then the movie proceeds to not even bother addressing the fact that that happened [editline]e[/editline] And then there's also the fact that they specify [I]when[/I] in the past the time machine sends people, but somehow it just magically knows the location they are to be sent to i guess [editline]e[/editline] When they're torturing the young dude while his older escaped self is running around, they start hacking limbs off of him to send him a message and get him to turn himself in; there's one scene that sticks out in my mind where the guy is driving and they cut off his younger self's foot, at which point the older self's foot just up and disappears as if he just lost it even though logically he'd have already known because now the guy has been missing a foot his entire life. It wasn't removed NOW while he is driving, it was removed 30-some-odd years ago when he was being tortured I saw a theory that addresses this as the fact that both people are in the same exact universe at the same time, and so things done to one affects the other because they're technically the same person, but the movie has nothing to support this because the directors decided "oh it's time travel you don't need to worry about it even though it's the most important element of the film" [editline]e[/editline] The movie opens with an aborted timeline where JGL kills his loop (Bruce Willis), but when he grows up to be the same Bruce Willis, the timeline differs from the previous one for no specified reason, he just happens to be able to break out of his cuffs whereas the first Bruce Willis was unable to even though nothing is different [editline]e[/editline] And one more: The mob boss nobody apparently knows in-depth is very clearly a man and one of the children Bruce Willis hunts down and almost kills (before he gets tased) is a little girl
