What are your favorite gaping errors of logic within a movie? I'm not talking about "Jurasick Park dinsouars arnt real lol@!!!" but something that breaks the rules that the movie sets for itself (if the plot says that dinosaurs are real in Jurassic Park, then it's not a plot hole for dinosaurs to kill people!). Like in The Lost World, when the T-rex somehow climbs into a ship, kills the captain who is holed up in a tiny little room (but doesn't actually eat him) and then locks himself inside the cargo hold of the ship. That's something that doesn't make much sense.

Daredevil (I'm going by the movie, not the comic). He's a probono lawyer, who's blind, who also has a very expensive array of highly technical devices. It really doesn't make a lick of sense at all, and just comes out of nowhere. "My dad was killed, I was blinded, flash forward thirty years and now I'm this guy who works for free with all these cool gadgets. How did I get them? No one knows."

In jurassic park, how did the T-rex climb up that huge cliff that he was in?

In a movie I just saw.. The Beyond.
A plumber is killed by something, monsterlike, while fixing a leak in the cellar.. Monsterlike thingie dissappears, someone finds him dead, and throughout the rest of the movie noone wonders for 5 seconds how he died.
"Oh a dead plumber... .. .That sucks".. *goes on with his day*
Edit: The Beyond is filled with plot holes though.. But that was my favorite one of them
Kickass movie nonetheless

It's still an odd plot hole. It was a movie after all.
Comic books are one thing, but movies need explinations.

People always bash this movie and I don't know why. I really liked it.

I'm not bashing it. I really liked the concept, I just didn't get it. I never read the comics. The movie didn't seem to do the comic justice (even though I have never read it, but I have heard good things about it). It just kind of seemed to "happen" and didn't really provide a cohesive story. Yea, it probably made more sense if you were familiar with the comic, but I wasn't.

The Grudge had so many plot hole in it. The family that was killed in the house (the mother and the son) were casically zombies or ghost or something like that. But in one scene the mother transforms into a huge snake like thing. Also the fact that the cops who were in the house were never killed, when everyone else who were in the house were hunted down and killed. I hated that movie, so much it was a rip off of the ring and all the other crappy japan horror movies, which are total crap.

The Magnificent Seven is great but the way the bandits just let them go AND GIVE THEM THEIR GUNS BACK is a bit of a cop-out.

Donnie Darko was just one huge plothole.
~~SPOILER AHEAD~~
If Frank's whole purpose was to lead Donnie back into his house to die, then why did he lead him out in the first place?

also, take this advice.

The Grudge was really bad. Lots of plot holes. Can't remember some though.

All of those movies where millions of bullets are shot at the heros, but not a single one hits them.....Sahara comes to mind at the moment. Its not really a plot hole, just something thats not very logical.
