Movies often make us suspend our disbelief to take us on magical or futuristic journeys, where unicorns are real and humans have already explored more than just our solar system. And while usually those unrealistic events are explained by in-universe laws, there are times when we sit up, squint at the glimmering screen and go "wait a minute." Not even some of the greatest story plots are immune to plot holes, and while some are so minuscule that they can be easily ignored, others are so hard to forget that they may turn the story into the worst movie ever.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of movie mistakes in some of the best movies out there, so scroll down below and see if your favorite one also has something that makes absolutely no sense in story writing. Oh, and don't forget vote for your favorites and share any interestingmovie plot holes that you've noticed yourself!

Armageddon (1998)
It would be easier to train astronauts how to drill than train drillers to become astronauts. When Ben Affleck pointed this out, Michael Bay told him to shut up.
CbusResident 7 years ago
Also a NASA Scientist pointed out on Science Friday that they would actually plan to redirect the trajectory of the asteroid by having a spaceship, quite possibly unmanned, rotate around it in a calculated way. The gravity of the ship would cause the change in the trajectory and it would be pretty easy for NASA to do this in a way that would steer it clear from the Earth, this scientist explained.
Tony Moon 7 years ago
The mass of a space ship sent from the surface of the planet would not be enough to change the trajectory of a comet in the short amount of time the movie portrayed. This is but one problem with the argument the NASA scientist proposed. We have also sent satellites (space ships) around asteroids and through comet tails and the amount of change was imperceivable. Don't expect this to be a solution anyone uses.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
Lara's whole goal in the film is to destroy the triangle so the Illuminati can't use its evil power, however, after successfully getting the first half at the first tomb, she spends the entire third act trying to acquire the second half in order to destroy them both. The problem is that she has one piece already and one half can not work without joining it with the other, so why doesn't she just destroy the one she has, rendering the second piece useless?

I've seen this before, but I always felt that the toys freezing was something they couldn't control, they just acted like they could. But they froze because THEY ARE TOYS. They simply had no choice. So even if Buzz thinks he's not a toy, he freezes anyway because he *IS* a toy. Then he rationalizes the action (to himself if not on screen). Anyway, I never saw this as a plot hole.

500 year old papyrus would have been destroyed even with moisture which would have naturally occured in a freezer. Glass breaking may have destroyed the document. Again, even the cryptex alone was of immense value being a device crafted by Da Vinci himself. Papyrus that old cant even be touched by human hands as the moisture on your fingers will also react and destroy it (this was discussed in the books and highlighted when they visited the library and had to use special tools to turn the pages). Also, at the point of the film and the book, Teabing was holding a gun on them and forcing the opening with police on the way. Not exactly the time to just yell wait lets get to a freezer.

The Hangover (2009)
Every square inch (with the exception of restrooms, guest rooms and employee locker rooms) in a Nevada casino is covered by surveillance cameras. There's simply no way that Doug could have been on the roof for two days without someone seeing him and sending security to make certain that he wasn't up to no good or trying to commit suicide.

I agree with this entirely about the fact he would have been found pretty quick. I just wanted to say that employee locker rooms are not necessarily without cameras.

They aren't watched, the footage is only looked at if it is necessary (when someone has had something stolen from someone).

Around 10 minutes in, the vampires draw pictures of each other to show how their clothing looks because their images don't reflect in the mirror.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
In the flashback to when Snape and Lily were kids, Lily is shown with brown eyes. This is incorrect because everybody describes Lily to have the same color eyes as Harry in the movie which is blue.
r3dd3v1lL 7 years ago
A much worse plothole is the way Harry gets the sword of Gryffindor. In the book Snape has it and a painting hears Harry and Hermione talking about the forest they are currently in and it (the painting) reports back to Snape. In the movie Harry just stares in the mirror, which Aberforth has- which creates two problems- firstly Aberforth doesn't have the sword and secondly he doesn't know where Harry is- all he see is a forest at night. I've always hated the way that David Yates ruined the second four movies, but this is the biggest mistake.

Frozen (2013)
It is revealed on Elsa's coronation day that Anna had stayed inside the palace for the entirety of the time that the gates were closed, even though the only reason the gate were closed was to prevent word getting out about Elsa's powers, this means Anna could have gone outside and had a normal life whenever she felt like it.

Do you think the parents, trying so desperately to keep everything about Elsa a secret, would let their chatty outgoing little daughter run around the village telling everyone that she hasn't seen her sister in years and she stays in her room all the time and no one will tell her why? That's sure to raise suspicion. Even after they passed away, Anna is spunky but she doesn't seem like the rebellious type either (maybe slightly more later in the movie). If her parents who she trusted always told her for years it wasn't good to leave the castle, she should be happy inside, and she go on o coronation day when she grows up (I know we don't see them saying that, just examples), that's a big mental hurdle to overcome with no one else around you saying otherwise!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
Statistically, it would be almost impossible for all 12 districts to have a living male and female past victor to compete in the 75th Hunger Games. In the previous film The Hunger Games, Haymitch mentioned that "Career Tributes" from Districts One and Two won the Games almost every year. Even if just over half of the past Games were won by Career Tributes, subtracting previously identified victors leaves 30 past victors to be distributed as one male and one female from each of the 10 remaining districts. That also assumes that none of the victors have died of old age.

That's what I thought too, Maci--I thought it was pretty clear (in the book, at least) that it was not just a big old coincidence that Katniss was going back into the Arena; this Quarter Quell twist was engineered for exactly that reason. If some of the Districts hadn't had at least one male and one female Victor--or if District 12 had had more than 1 female Victor to pick from--they would have come up with some other rule that just-so-happened to make Katniss the only candidate for one of the slots. For instance, they could have said "Any Victor who volunteered as Tribute has to go back," or "the youngest Victor from each District, plus draw one as usual from the opposite sex," just as a couple of ideas.

Saw (2004)
Dr. Gordon was the police's initial suspect in the Jigsaw killings. Yet it never occurred to them that these killings took a huge amount of time to plan, setup and execute, so a surgeon who is constantly working doesn't make sense as a suspect. The devices had to be custom built, the killing rooms configured and clues planed and hidden, the victims were under surveillance for weeks. So doing all of this required hundreds of hours. Dr. Gordon is an oncologist and a neurosurgeon, a doctor with dual specialties like this often works 90-100 hours a week easily so most of his whereabouts during the day would have been known by his coworkers. While it's possible that some of the work could have been done at night he certainly wasn't able to survey the victims at night, plus if he was frequently staying up all night to do all of this it would have shown in his surgical skills, his ability to perform surgery would have been severely diminished if he was suffering from sleep deprivation. Dr. Gordon made no sense at all as a suspect, which is something an experienced homicide detective would have realized right away.

It's actually explained multiple times in the movies. Mystique has more powers than just shapeshifting, she ages slower, has lesser healing factor and increased speed/agility. In "First Class" Beast examines her cells and says how remarkable they are and makes the mutant cure. In "Days of Future Past" they explain they modified her adaptive cells in making the Sentinels. Rogue needs to actually touch people to absorb their powers, the Sentinels don't need physical contact. I don't remember if they explicitly said the Sentinels are able to use mutant powers, I think they just generate new nanobots or whatever that modified themselves to be immune to the mutant power

The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King
If Bilbo ages rapidly without the Ring, why hasn't Gollum suffered the same effect?
r3dd3v1lL 7 years ago
Um he has. Dunno if you noticed but he is short , has grey-ish skin, three strands of hair and only two teeth. If that doesn't spell "old" I don't know what does.
Mika N 7 years ago
"we only hass nine" teeth :) but yes, you're right. If they mean he should have quickly aged even more once the ring was taken, he had it for ages, much much longer than Bilbo. It probably would take much longer for the effects to wear off.

Somebody totally did not pay Attention when looking TLOTR - It is explicitly stated that Bilbo does not age very much even if already very old for a Hobbit. Gandalf says that very clearly when meeting him. In the books it also is very important that his longevity (which appears to all Hobbits as unusual, even unnatural) comes from the ring.

The issue I had was that when they showed what Gollum used to look like, his voice and how he spoke was the same. I felt like it would of made more sense that he spoke normally and in proper sentences (and not in third person) and then when he changed so did this, to show how much the ring affected him. The voice was just a little too odd for when he looked like a regular hobbit

Before Ethan jumps into the cooling system, he's told that the system can detect metal. Hence, he cannot bring in oxygen tanks. We see Ethan inside the system wearing a sleeve with a computer-based screen showing his vital signs. This screen and computer would not be possible without metal.

Maybe they are referring to magnetic metals, so his equipment can be made from non magnetic ones.
BlackestDawn 7 years ago
That's not how metal detectors work. They use a simple property of effectively all metals that when they "move" through a magnetic field it produces an electric current in them, which then affects the magnetic field they are moving through. It is that change in the magnetic field they pick up on. For this specific case it could just be that there isn't enough metal in the computer to be "detected".

The First Order could easily and quickly destroy the Rebels with this simple tactic. The resistance would have been trapped in a flanking attack and overpowered by the First Order.

This is a good plot hole, but a bigger one exist.

That stationary base is not going anywhere and they only have small unarmed shuttles which are slow and easy to pick off.

The common trope of the zombies being undead with a craving for brains (or human flesh) is notably and deliberately averted in this film, pinning the reason for the devastation on the rage virus which turns people into violently aggressive killers - but this opens up a considerable plot hole: Why don't the rage victims kill each other? "Normal" zombies don't because the undead kill the living but the rage-infected seem to act more like a dog in the final stage of rabies, attacking anything that moves and/or makes noise - the infected have no reason not to attack each other.

I could make a good case for that being an evolutionary trait of survival for the virus. It can't perpetuate itself if it's constantly killing itself.

Crematoria has no vegetation on the surface, due to it constantly being "wiped clean" by the suns heat burning away everything in sight when the planet rotates/orbits the local star. It would be considered a "dead planet", meaning no life of any kind. As a result, there would be no oxygen for anyone on the planet to breathe. The danger of Crematoria's heat is inconsistent.

If there is a technology allowing for a functional and safe cryo-sleep on an ark ship housing 60.000 people, it is safe to assume there are highly advanced self-maintaining systems. It stands to reason that an ark ship should be likely a pinnacle of technology, using solutions too expensive to be used in everyday life on Earth. And the food? Well, some comestibles are non-perishable or can be really well preserved. Honey found in Ancient Egyptian tombs was still edible and there are at least two instances of paleontologists successfully trying to eat small parts of the mammoth flesh that has been encased in ice for at least 5000 years.

He catches the train, experiences a dementor, and then takes the carriages to Hogwarts before missing the feast to see McGonagall in her office. He also took the train and rode in the carriages at the beginning of book four. Both three and four reference horseless carriages.

Quirrell is questionable. He was practically possessed by Voldemort, and he burned to ashes. His decrease of humanity is a potential loophole. Additionally it's hypothesized that it requires affection to the person.
Tobias Meiner 7 years ago
Wasn't it said that thestrals can be seen by people who tragically lost someone close to them, no matter whether they witnessed the actual death or not?
Catherine Holtham-Oakley 7 years ago
He didn't see QuirRell die because he was unconscious at the time. Read the bloody books! 'He felt Quirrell's arm wrenched from his grasp, knew all was lost, and fell into blackness, down...down...down' ( pg 214, 2000)

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (2002)
McGonagall's new rules include "all students must be accompanied by a teacher to a lesson". However, it is later shown that there are only 9 teachers (including Dumbledore, Hagrid, the nurse and Filch). With 280 students in the school, this rule is impossible.
Random Panda 7 years ago
It's not, the students are not allowed to go around the halls by themselves. They were supposed to move from classroom to classroom together, accompanied by a teacher. The only issue is if someone needed to use the bathroom.
Samuli Kantola 7 years ago
At what point are these 9 stated to be ALL the staff? The movies know many more than that. Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick, Sprout, Snape, Trelawney, Sinistra, Vector, Kettleburn, Lockhart, Binns (at least), and madames Pinch, Hooch, Pomfrey, plus Hagrid and Filch. Check your facts before making a statement.

There a lot of impossible things happening in this movie. Class logistics is not a big concern.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Han and Leia are looking at the names of different galactic systems on the Falcon computer to get away from the Imperial destroyers. Han finds Lando's name and they agree to go there. They take off and are followed by Boba Fett. After arriving at the cloud city and learning of Lando's betrayal, he tells them Vader and his troopers arrived just before they did. How did they know where Han and Leia were going? Boba Fett was following but there would not have been time to set the trap.
Charlotte Bayer 7 years ago
Why not? Han has been a wanted person for a long time, and a well known one too. Do you really think Imperials would be unable to find out who his "friends" are? Or where he would most likely go? The dudes in white may not hit anything they shoot at, but they are not completeley useless.
Matthias Hofmann 7 years ago
Boba Fett sees what course the Falcon sets when he pursues them, and could extrapolate that the obviously not-hyperjump-capable Falcon was setting course to Bespin. Short message to the Imperials, and both the Empire and the Bounty hunter, with their still-hyperjump-capable ships could comfortably jump to Bespin and set up the trap. Is that so difficult to understand? In the movie it was easy to grasp.
Roger Haywood 7 years ago
The Empire is aware of Han's known associates. Doesn't take much to guess that he would seek Lando.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
The canyon is completely cleared of all the rocks on both sides when Furiosa and the others head back through it to return to the Citadel. It would have been impossible for Joe's men when they first drove through it to not only make enough room for their biggest vehicles, like the war band machine to fit through, but also to completely clear the area of the huge rocks and still join him by sunset to pursue the war rig.

Fast & Furious (2009)
Brian's (Paul Walker) reason for not turning in the money to the FBI after the drug run is that Braga will just continue to run drugs without the loss affecting him. In the same conversation, when told by his boss that Braga will not show up for the exchange, Brian tells him that he can't afford not to.

Stardust (2007)
Lamia's hands reverted back to their old, decrepit state when she turned the boy into a goat and cursed Ditchwater Sal, which she noted as being "hardly extravagant, however conjuring a whole elaborate Inn, which could be considered "extravagant", definitely more so than the previous uses of her magic, had no such effect on her.

Mr. Nobody (2009)
The young Nemo, having ran into the forest and thus did not follow his mother to Canada, blows a leaf which leads to the adult him and Anna being reunited again at the lighthouse. However, this scenario is impossible because he only meets and falls in love with Anna if he moves to Canada with his mother.

Jurassic Park (1993)
All dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are cloned from prehistoric DNA "plugged" with frog DNA. So why do they hatch from eggs as shown in the park lab scene? Even more, the shape and size of the eggs doesn't resemble those of any known modern animal species.
Axanthron Myre 7 years ago
I can't remember if it's mentioned in the movies, but in the book it is stated that the combination of dino/frog DNA is injected into an unfertilized bird egg along with chemicals to simulate fertilization.
Catlady6000 7 years ago
Some frogs can lay lay viable eggs even when no males are present. This was mentioned in the movie

Lady In The Water (2006)
Story says that she is forbidden to talk about her blue world to humans and therefore communicates with sign language when talking about her world yet she tells Cleveland everything he needs to know about how to spot a scrunt in grass through a walkie-talkie.
Calum Sanderson 7 years ago
That's because the scrunts aren't anything to do with the Blue World. That's like saying "I can't tell you anything about rabbits" and then describing everything to do with foxes. Come on now, use your damn brain.

Actually it is explained in the movie that speaking about her world made her weak.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Before Neo enters the door that leads to the Source, the Keymaker says he can't fly to the center of the grid in 5 minutes, but after that Neo saves Trinity flying to that exact same place, which he does in a few seconds.
lincholn6echo 7 years ago
not a plothole imo, because hes the chosen one hes able to alter the Matrix physically as seen in the Picture, so why should he not be able to also alter time?
Axanthron Myre 7 years ago
Not a plothole but another example of 'The One' not being bound by the rules of The Matrix. The Keymaker is a program and as such is restricted to the rules of the Matrix his comment is linked to what he knows as defined by the rules.
John Montgomery 7 years ago
Probably another spoon moment. Just as he had to realize there was no spoon, he also had to realize there was no building.
Pedro Purcino 7 years ago
Neo is a hacker, he doesnt need to fly, he can alter the code of his location and be in another place instantanealy, thats why. he only flew so we could have that sweet scene
Charlotte Bayer 7 years ago
Errrr... being able to bend the matrix to his will was the entire plot behind Neo as a character? Telling him what is real (the spoon) or what he can and can't do (the keymaker) holds no meaning the moment neo puts his mind to it.
Jd Piper 6 years ago
you gotta be kidding. . .this is your idea of a plot hole in The Matrix? How about when Joe Pantoliano gets in and out of the matrix to have dinner with Agent Smith? Since he was never shown to have an accomplice then who manned the controls? No one else EVER got in or out of the matrix without an operator!!! Did you people even watch the movie? Sheesh

Pacific Rim (2013)
When the kaiju emits the EMP, it takes out the jagers, the command center, and presumably anything that's digital. But when the Gypsy Dancer attacks, it is carried by a fleet of helicopters, which presumably have the same digital circuits.
Marc Jaspers 7 years ago
emp would only damage circuits that we're powered up, if the choppers were not running then they are just dead metal and therefore wouldn't be affected
Tobias Meiner 7 years ago
Even with electronics on the fritz, you can still use most of the military equipment. You won't be able to use some navigation and communication devices, but the engine, steering and most of armament would work fine.
Joseph LaPage 7 years ago
Much of our current military equipment is protected from EMP. Most have to be shut down to do so, but the tech is even better now than when I was in the Army so who knows about the helos in the movie.
Pedro Purcino 7 years ago
since they are vital and they know the kaiju is capable of EMP, is implied they reinforced the circuits

Wilford as well as Mason performed one specific hand movement (Wilford at the end of the movie, Mason during her speech to the tail section inhabitants) that suggests, that both of them have experience with cleaning the engine (as seen on Tim under the floor tile). This does not make any sense with regard to their age as the engine can be cleaned only by children less than 5 years old (the train didn't even exist, when both of them were 5 years old).
Random Panda 7 years ago
I don' agree that it suggests they used to clean the engine. I saw it as more of a religious reverence/gesture.
