Whether you enjoy gripping psychological thrillers or action-packed sci-fi, there's nothing like watching a well-written movie with a surprising storyline and believable characters. However, some films have such bad mistakes in their scripts, they destroy our sense of disbelief and neither the score nor the actors' performances can save the moment.

From Gravity to Home Alone, Bored Panda put together a list of popular movies with plot holes you may not have noticed before, but beware: SPOILERS AHEAD.

After you're done scrolling, feel free to fire up our earlier article on the topic, too.

Okay, yes this is a plot hole, but the theory I like best to explain this is that only the Marauders can see the Marauders on the map. It explains why Fred and George never noticed Peter, but Lupin did. It also would have been useful for the Marauders if the map ever fell into the wrong hands. There's a Super Carlin Brothers video about the entire theory somewhere, but that's the gist of it.

"I like to imagine there was a conversation behind the scenes like this: Ben Affleck: 'Wouldn't it be easier to train astronauts to be drillers than it would be to train oil drillers to be astronauts?' Michael Bay: 'Shut the [hell] up.'"

Hercules (1997)

Hercules (1997)

Hades (James Woods), king of the underworld, wants Hercules (Tate Donovan) dead. He puts his best henchmen, Pain and Panic (Bobcat Goldthwait and Matt Frewer), on the job. They tell him he’s dead. And Hades believes them, for quite some time!

But, as we know, they’re dead wrong.

Hercules may be super strong. But Hades is, without exaggeration, the king of the underworld. Why didn’t he double check that Hercules was actually dead? Just by, like, looking around? He lives and works in the place where dead people go. Wouldn’t Hercules have shown up?

The Little Mermaid (1989)

The Little Mermaid (1989)

She wants to be where the people are. So Ariel, The Little Mermaid herself, makes a deal to gain legs and lose her voice, just so she can go above the sea and fall in love with Prince Eric. Complications, often involving charades, ensue.

But why didn’t she write on a piece of paper to Eric about what was going on? After all, we see her write in English earlier when she signs her name for the deal.

Fans asked animators this question at an event. The animators just smiled and said, “Next question.”

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

The kind of plot hole that gives directors and scriptwriters nightmares can be found in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – Angelina Jolie’s fun but flawed video game adaptation from 2001. The film focuses on Lara Croft’s mission to protect the world from the Illuminati, who are planning to use an artefact called the Triangle during a solar eclipse to inflict devastation on the world – a peak 00s plot if ever we’ve heard one. We learn that the Triangle is split into two parts, and after acquiring the first of them in Cambodia, Croft sets off on another perilous journey to retrieve the second in Siberia. The problem is, we already know the Triangle can’t work without both halves, so all Croft had to do was destroy the half she already had in her possession and the job would be done.

Because Lara Croft is a Chaotic-Neutral treasure hunter -- hence, "tomb raider" -- and being commissioned to find a world-changing artefact that or may not live up to its mythology is good enough all by itself.

Maybe Monstropolis has a different educational structure? Maybe the monsters age differently from humans and first grade is elementary school, second grade is junior high school, third grade is high school and fourth grade is college? It's hard to place the age on a character who looks like a granny smith apple. ;-)

National Treasure (2004)

National Treasure (2004)

We know — most of the Nicolas Cage adventure flick is renowned for its calm, patient accuracy. But there’s something seriously off about the famous moment when Cage’s Benjamin Franklin Gates steals the Declaration of Independence.

Other than the sheer lunacy of those words put together in that order.

When Ben reads the Declaration later, we see it starts with “We the people”. But that’s the opening to the Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration begins with “When in the course of human events”. Either Ben made a serious miscalculation, or that’s a huge filmmaking error!

Ant-Man (2015)

Ant-Man (2015)

The MCU got a fun jolt of unorthodox humor with 2015’s Ant-Man, starring Paul Rudd. Rudd’s superhero can shrink down to the size of an ant and back. But there’s a rule that he’s told often: His mass doesn’t change. He weighs the same tiny as he did normal.

If taken seriously, this would render essential moments, like ants picking a tiny Ant-Man up, impossible. It would also mean he couldn’t sneak around vents — his weight would collapse them instantly. And in Captain America: Civil War, his growing bigger wouldn’t give him super strength.

The real plot hole was in real life. MCU: We're going to make movies where there's a talking tree, a swearing, badass trash panda, a man who can shrink to the size of an ant and hang with ants..... but an MCU movie starring a woman?(wait, women are people too?!) Thats just too unrealistic! I mean they finally did with Captain Marvel and now the upcoming Black Widow film but geez it took them long enough.

Ok if he weighed 180 lbs at 5'10" and then was shrunk down to 3", his weight would not be 180 lbs because his tiny frame would not be able to hold that much weight. I think the problem with this statement is that they are comparing weight with mass and those are two entirely different measurements. His body mass (BMI) would not change if he was shrunk down to 2". Also remember that ants can carry 10-50 times their weight. As for the Captain America, the effects of the serum were to both give him super strength and to make him bigger. The original intent of the serum was to make Super Soldiers. Who would be intimidated by skinny men? Sure they would be surprised when the skinny men showed their strength but it's a common conception that big muscles means more strength and therefore are more intimidating.

Antman is like DC's Atom. Both can and do change their size and mass... although I don't think the Atom could ever grow larger. At any rate, during movie fight sequences where Antman and Wasp change size rapidly they take advantage of the ability to change mass as quickly as they resize.

Gremlins (1984)

Gremlins (1984)

Gremlins has three rules for dealing with the title creatures: Don’t put them in sunlight. Don’t put them in water. And don’t feed them after midnight. If you do any of these, you’ll risk turning the cuties into destructive, bloodthirsty creatures.

Simple enough, right? Let’s look closer…

“Don’t feed them after midnight.” Technically speaking, it’s… always after midnight. And, simultaneously, before midnight. 12:01am is both one minute after midnight and 23 hours and 59 minutes before the next midnight. Is midnight the only time you’re allowed to feed them?

Our brain hurts!

But if this theory is meant to be plausible, how would Cady have any pictures or information on anyone in the school, given the fact that she’s a brand new student? Would they assume that she’s the speediest investigative journalist that ever lived?

This can be explained pretty easily: "teenagers". They can be so bright at times, and so damn stupid at others. All it would take is for the popular kids to have a stupid idea "it's all her fault!" and the rest of the school would probably just go along with it.

Despite letting go, they’re never letting go. The love story of Jack and Rose, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, is doomed from the start of Titanic. We know this, based on the movie’s title alone. But it doesn’t stop us from becoming emotionally invested.

We do have one question. Why didn’t Rose just, like, move a couple inches to her left? If you look at that raft, and you look at how tiny 1997-Leo is, it is obvious that there’s enough room for him to fit and for them to live their dang lives!

I’m even willing to suspend my belief and say MAYBE he didn’t think about it immediately because of the shock of a talking Pikachu...but he doesn’t figure it out until the end of the movie."

The Matrix (1999)

The Matrix (1999)

There’s a lot of rules to remember in The Matrix. Here’s an important one: Everyone who jacks into the Matrix needs someone to plug them in, make sure they’re okay, and let them back into the real world.

Got it? Good. Now forget about it.

Cypher (Joe Pantoliano) visits the evil Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) in the Matrix to betray his crew. And he does all of this alone! Even though we just saw that you can’t do that alone! How? Some viewers insist he created his own code to get around this rule.

"When Belle is singing at the beginning to the sheep, we are given a clear view of the book she just took out of the library. We see an entire page that is covered in an illustration. Later, Gaston asks Belle, 'How can you read this? There's no pictures!' Yes, there are!"

The Karate Kid (1984)

The Karate Kid (1984)

Using the crane kick trained and perfected by Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), Daniel (Ralph Macchio) knocks out Johnny (William Zabka) and wins the tournament! Movie over, everyone cheers!

Except — was this move legal? Should Daniel have been disqualified? Was he the secret villain of The Karate Kid the entire time?

Earlier in the film, it’s said that “hits to the face” are not permitted, not specifying whether that includes kicks. Macchio himself called the crane kick a clear violation, and the later YouTube series Cobra Kai features its alleged legitimacy as a prominent plot point.

I have to agree with Barney Stinson on this theory. The Karate Kid was Johnny Lawrence and the villain was Daniel Larusso. Daniel comes to town and sticks his face into an argument between Johnny and Allie, then tries to fight Johnny. Then he goes out with Johnny's ex, who he is still in love with and rubs it in his face. Then he rigs the hose to spray water all over him and his joint in the toilet. THEN, if that isn't enough provocation, he trains for a couple of weeks and beats Johnny in a championship when Johnny has been training for his entire life. Plus, Daniel is kind of an arrogant tool!

"Really? No one was guarding the wife who had just been rescued from the infected zone? They were wary of her enough to strap her down, but not enough to order a guard to watch her even though they did so for the two kids? Right."

Return Of The Jedi (1983)

Return Of The Jedi (1983)

We all love Ewoks (we do), but even as a child I was a bit incredulous that the cute little bears could defeat an entire legion of the Emperor’s best troops. It wasn’t their ingenuity or fighting skills I doubted though, it was the fact that sticks and stones could apparently pierce armour. It must have been made of paper they way some of them go down. Obviously, the Empire is an expensive thing to run, especially when you’ve got a penchant for building moon-sized super-weapons with a limited shelf-life, but you’d hope that your best soldiers could get some decent blast armour…

The Armour was a plastic and ceramic mix designed to be light and able to disperse heat safely. No one thought they would be up against primitive pointed projectile weapons, so they didn't use reinforced alloys to defend against them

Pandora is saved. Go back home to your dying planet you humans! I like to believe that yes, the defeated humans did reflect on what they had done, and maybe decided to value life and nature above commerce and needless industrialisation. After all, that was the subtle message James Cameron was trying to teach us. But even when watching the film for the first time, all I could think was, won’t the surviving military just go back to their ship in orbit and nuke the now clearly hostile and dangerous natives? Because that’s what I would do. Of course, they might not have had weapons aboard, and the plot of the sequel may well be the return of the angry earthlings. In which case, ignore this.

Because nuking the planet from orbit (it's the only way to be sure) would render the resources useless and bankrupt the expedition
