Post your movie plot holes etc.

I've been reading up about film and media, and I've been noticing more and more problems with movies.

One of the first examples I'll discuss is 'The Island'.

There is the scene when Starkweather is being operated on, but awakens, and goes on a rampage. Now we know, that this facility is in the middle of arizona or somewhere like that, in other words, in the middle of knowhwere.

So there are two Nascar guys I think that come in to this facility and witness the scene that follows.

Now here is the problem.

A huge company like that isn't going to have their clients, travel to the middle of nowhere to discuss their policy. I would have thought that the company would have offices in each state. Seems like a major mistake to me.

any thoughts or other plot holes?

in oceans 11, didn't they work out each of those blokes would've had to carry about 250kg's of notes with them to take that amount of money out of the casino.... and that's if every bill was a $100, which is unlikely you'd think.

also i'm pretty sure they never managed to explain how they get the flyer's that exploded into the car, into the casino in the first place....

still a sweet movie though if you can take it at face value.

Nope, but if you argue the point with him about it I'm sure you or he will die of old age before he gives in.

Probably my most despised moment of all (once agan in a movie I really like)

Back to The Future Part II:

When Marty (17 years old), Jennifer and Doc leave 1985 to go to 2015 at the start of the movie, Marty sees himself as a 47 year old. How???

He has LEFT 1985, leaped over the next 30 years and arrived in 2015. When he gets to 2015, he should have been missing for 30 years.

You can't say, "Oh, but eventually they go back to 1985 and he gets old"... NO. The movies clearly state that the future is what you make it. It is not pre-determined. When they get to 2015, he hasn't gone back to 1985 yet. How can he see himself as an old man?

Remember in the first movie when Eisntein the dog was the first time traveller? He travelled one minute into the future. The dog leaped over that minute, and for one minute there was no Dog! So, if Marty goes forward 30 years, there should be no Marty getting old in between 1985 and 2015.

Doesn't make sense.

It's a small thing, but people never lock their car when they park it. Just slam the door and walk away.

Really? I thought it was a great movie.

Could become a gattaca type movie down the road for students.

**** Gattaca is a pile of s**t.

Anyway, Curse of the Komodo had some minor plot holes, where the toxic saliva from the giant komodos touched one guy, he got paralysed instantly, and when it touched one of the main characters, they had a few hours.

Also, there was only one scene with boobs out.

But they didn't send Einstein back in time once he went forward - otherwise he would have been there.

The one thats always bothered me is Indiana Jones where he climbs aboard the submarine and somehow manages to travel 100s of k's to the base without dying of exposure or being discovered.

Old Arnie movies are the best the war scenes are always so unrealistic. He fires an AK47 from the hip and just continuasly fires about 200 rounds without have to reaload. In the same movie he puts a claymore outside of a building and the whole building blows up.

I love some of the newer war/ action movies at the moment. The newest Rambo movie or Act of Valour for example. Much more realistic fighting and you can see the characters actually carry out the correct stoppage drills.

Another small thing that shits me. Mainly in American shows or movies. They will walk into a cafe/ diner and order something. Food will come out. They take one sip of the drink, one bite of the burger then throw some cash on the table and leave.
 
I hate it in movies when people arrange a date without sorting out the details.

"Hey wanna have dinner Friday night?"
"Sure!"
"Great!"

End scene.

What time? Where? Do you need to get picked up? Shall we take a Taxi??? ARGH SORT IT OUT!!

It's interesting that people got so hyper over the fridge scene in the latest one and ignore scenes like that or when he jumps out of a plane in an inflatable raft and survives in Temple of Doom.
 
doesnt terminator have a few holes in it? cant remember what it exactly was but they could have just tried to kill michael biehn in the future he came from and they wouldn't have needed to send a terminator back in time to kill sarah connor because biehn, the one sent back to protect her, manages to knock sarah connor up anyway. edit- biehn was a soldier with john connor in the future wasn't he? dafuq. confusing myself.

not seen the first one in years so probably wrong.
