26 Blockbuster Movies That Failed to Fix Major Plot Holes

Even the most meticulously crafted films are not exempt from having their fair share of imperfections. A recent internet survey asked, “Which continuity error or plot hole in a movie always sticks out in your mind?”Here are the top 23 answers.

“Do the things that shrink keep their density or not? Paul Rudd is shrunk down and still packs the punch power of a grown man in tiny size, but a tank can be shrunk down and carried on a key chain? Please explain.”

“Exactly. Pym particles are magic poorly disguised as science.”

The Gremlins – Water Rule Change

“Apparently, they can’t get wet. But they are running around in the snow the entire movie. Also, the bar scene where they’re all drinking beer, and it gets splashed around a lot.”

“It’s not meant to be a serious movie. But the whole first 30 mins is setting up the “rules.” Then the rest of the movie, these rules make no difference. Makes no sense at all.” 

The Goonies – Is He Singing Or Not?

“When Chunk is being kidnapped by the Fratellis, the driver starts singing; you can still hear him in the next shot, but his reflection in the side mirror has a closed mouth.” 

“First continuity error I noticed as a kid, and it stuck with me.”

Monsters Inc. – Where Did Sully and Mike Meet?

“Mike says, ‘You have always been jealous of me since the 5th grade.’ In the next movie, they meet while in college.”

“This is actually so funny for some reason. Pixar is so meticulous; I imagine the writers all sitting around like, “Oh… oh wait. Oh no, no, no.”

Star Wars – The Knife Map

“Why did the bounty hunter sketch a treasure map into a knife? Did he think he was going to somehow forget that the transponder was in the Death Star wreckage? 

“The map requires you to be standing at a certain spot but has no feature. So, without any marker, Rey just got lucky and happened to stand in the right place. Sure.”

Superman Returns – The Premise

“Lex Luthor brilliantly creates an entire island made of kryptonite. Superman can’t stop him there! But five rent-a-cops in a dingy apparently could.”

“He’s going to destroy the majority of the earth and sell salvation (a barren radioactive rock) to the rich and powerful. Congrats! You’re the king of nothing with a pile of worthless money because cash has no value in an apocalypse.”

Back To The Future

“The final scene where Doc comes back and says: ‘Quick Marty, you need to come with me now into the future.’ Why does he have to hurry? It’s a Time Machine!”

“Ha, yeah. I guess because Doc wasn’t getting any younger and had other stuff to do!?”

Batman Returns – Disappearing Makeup

“Bruce rips his mask off, and his eye makeup is gone.”

“True. No Batman movie really acknowledges he wears eye makeup until the latest one, as Robert Pattinson has streaked makeup whenever he takes off the mask.”

A Quiet Place – Clean-cut Cornfields

“How the hell do you run planters and harvesters quietly? With a Prius engine!?”

“They probably plant it by hand; that would make the most sense. But then again, those were some very big fields. It’s a head-scratcher.”

Raiders Of The Lost Ark – The Height Of The Staff

“Harrison Ford has to be over six feet, right? And then we know the staff should be five feet? So why is the staff around 10 feet when he and Salah are walking to the Well of Souls?”

“I read somewhere that the line in the script was “add one Kadem,” but the actor said it wrong. So that could be why our staff calculations are wrong!”

Star Wars – Obi-Wan’s ‘New’ Name

“Obi-wan Kenobi decides that he needs to adopt a new identity to hide from the Empire, so he only changes his first name!”

“Obi-wan Kenobi? I wonder if she means Old Ben Kenobi? Yes, I wonder!”

Karate Kid – Illegal Move

“He wins the match with a kick to the face, even though kicks to the face get you instantly disqualified.”

“I guess it’s only illegal if the referee calls you on it. Still, it doesn’t make sense.”

Star Trek Into Darkness – Superhuman Blood

“Kirk is dying, and they need superhuman blood to save him. While Spock goes to capture Kahn, they take a superhuman out of cyro and place Kirk inside to preserve him. Why not use the blood from the superhuman you just defrosted? Why Kahn especially?”

The Wizard of Oz – Now You Tell Me!

“Glinda tells Dorothy she always had the power to click her heels to go home. Dorothy asks how come she didn’t tell her before. To which Glinda glibly replies: “You probably wouldn’t have believed me.” Really!?”

“Real answer (Dorothy was her geopolitical pawn) would have been even less appealing.”

Back to the Future II

“Old Biff steals the time machine but returns to the same timeline after altering said timeline. This would be fine, except Marty and Doc return to a different timeline. So, do you stay in your timeline or not?”

The Dark Knight Rises – Multiple Inconsistencies

“In the climactic fight scene, both opposing groups are armed (you hear gunfire), but both sides seem to forget that and, instead, engage in a massive hand-to-hand brawl.”

“How about the fact the cops were trapped underground for what, months? Not one had even a 5 O’clock shadow, and their uniforms were still perfect.”

Jurassic Park – Sudden Elevation Change

“No matter what the defenders say, that gap in the electric fence was not wide enough to warrant two massively different elevations in the T-Rex paddock.”

“I read somewhere that Spielberg was asked about this sudden cliff, and he said: “It’s a cliff all of a sudden because it’s more exciting.” Couldn’t really argue after reading that.”

Wonder Woman – The Villain’s Strategy

“His goal was to enlist her by showing that humans are inherently evil. She would’ve come to that conclusion on her own IF HE HADN’T SHOWN UP.”

“It’s so stupid. The villain could’ve literally won by staying home; this villain is the literal god of war but apparently has no tactics whatsoever.”

Stranger Things – Time Period Errors

“In Stranger Things, they used a periodic table in one of the classrooms that included elements that weren’t discovered yet (for that time).”

“And they used a Nevada area code that didn’t exist at that time. It was 702 back then.”

The Butterfly Effect – The Prison Scenes

“The whole premise is that minor changes create new timelines, but in prison, he time-travels, stabs his hands, and goes straight back to prison; his fellow prisoner recognizes this as proof. But that goes against the entire logic of the movie.”

“That part drives me insane. Do they just throw the whole idea of the film out the window for this one scene? So dumb.”

Beauty and the Beast – The Ripped Painting

“In the opening sequence, the Beast claws it from upper left to bottom right. Later, when Belle discovers it, it’s torn from the bottom left to the upper right corner.”

“I like to imagine that he does it all the time, so the staff just kept a bunch of those portraits around and constantly replaced them.”

A Quiet Place – The Quiet Sounds

“If the creatures in A Quiet Place are blind, then why is their hearing threshold only slightly better than a human’s? Why can’t they hear running? Heartbeats? Breathing? Fear-induced bowel movements?”

“Exactly. The movie opens with a kid running around a store making noise.”

Lethal Weapon 5 – Actor Swaps

“Halfway through, the actors playing Riggs and Murtaugh suddenly swap roles.”

“Yes! And then mysteriously vanished as if they never existed at all.”

“It’s very confusing. I was confused by the whole thing if I’m being honest.”

King Kong – The Wall With A Door

“Why did the natives build a door big enough for Kong to get through? And… why couldn’t he climb over the wall anyway? He climbed the actual Empire State Building!”

“Imagine Kong rampaging and discovering their alcohol reserves, leading to the natives having to push his unconscious and drunk body out through this gigantic door.”

Harry Potter – The Marauder’s Map

“Why don’t Fred and George Weasley see Peter Pettigrew on Ron’s shoulder on the Maurader’s Map while they’re at Hogwarts before his third year?”

“So true, but if we’re going to start on Harry Potter, we’re going to be here awhile.”
