Biggest/most annoying plot holes in a movie/book?

For me it was "The Road." I am a huge Cormac McCarthy fan but this book and the movie shit the bed on one giant, gaping plot hole. The boy was a fucking pussy. The whole book and movie is based on him being a helpless little bitch that his daddy has to practically carry down the road. Kids are incredibly resilient. Any child raised in that environment would be a tough little bastard not a whimpering, scared, crying little whimp. The plot hole made me wonder if McCarthy had ever been near a child. I looked it up, he has kids. Somehow this makes it worse. 

Anyway, I have discussed this here before but thought a thread would be nice. Discuss plot holes now.

For me it was the end of Groundhogs Day, when Bill Murray is playing piano like a genius at the ball.

Out of fucking nowhere the teacher who taught him piano (who knows how long ago), says "He's my student"

Umm no he isn't bitch. Chances he walked into your piano school on that day to learn anything is exaclty zero. He was a master piano player at this point. There would be no reason for him to have any interaction with you at all.

Some people are just weak. Some will respond to adversity by becoming stronger and some will just get traumatized. We only think that hard times make hard men because in the past it was the hard men that survived. The saying should be hard times remove soft men.

Great point. I hadn’t thought of that before.

I don’t feel like that is a plot hole at all. Also, wasn’t the kid like 8 or 9 in the book? 

 

Frankly, I might be a fucking pussy too if I saw people cooking a newborn baby over a campfire and eating it. 

 

Big leap to assume a kid would toughen up.

Also, mine is a quiet place. It’s one giant plot hole. 

 

Nobody ever farts or sneezes apparently, cause they’d be dead. They have rows and rows of corn that I guess they somehow plant and harvest silently. 

 

The fucking newspaper says “It’s Sound!” Or something like that on the front page…I guess that paper was made at the silent newspaper factory? 

 

So you can talk and make sound if you are next to flowing water…so why don’t you live there again? 

 

Raccoons and other animals somehow still exist. 

 

Why are the silent fucking and making kids? 

 

lots of problems

I did not like that movie at all.

The wife… just leaving her child and wondering off in the night to whatever untold gruesome fate!

WTF?

Yeah the world sucks now so go get raped murdered and eaten?

And the end was fucking sad too.

I don’t need plot holes to dislike that movie-- it was just depressing.

Never read the book.

Fuck that movie. Agreed. The entire movie is an enormous clusterfuck of plot holes. It appeals to emotion and looks good so morons fawn over it. I need substance.

The whole piano thing annoys me because there’s tons of muscle memory that goes with things like that. Presumably he has zero piano ability every day he wakes up. So even if he was mentally able to play that well, physically he would struggle with it. 

There’s two.....

Firstly, “Dirty Dancing”... Baby and her family arrive at Kellermans camp as the camp is starting up for the holiday season, we know this as we see Max Kellerman telling the waiters what to do and we see Jonny arriving and getting told about his room etc... the end of the film is the final show at the end of the season... like, how long was Baby’s family holiday?? 6 months?? Who goes on vacation for 6 months??

Secondly, “Grease”... in Grease none of the pink ladies are dating any of the T birds at the start of the movie, by the end, some are, some aren’t... OK, it makes sense... the following school year we see “Grease 2”, in this film all of a sudden there is T bird/pink ladies rules that they have to be dating each other to wear the jackets?? Since when?? Who brought those rules in?? Makes no sense!!....

apart from those two flicks, I saw “ad Astra” a few days ago.... Jesus, that flick is full of holes..!!

I just re-watched ‘The Core’ and realized that the entire movie is one huge plot hole.

It may be the actual most implausible movie ever conceived, and that includes anything Pee Wee Herman ever did or will do in the future.

A Walk To Remember.  When Landon tells Mandy Moore "in your dreams" and puts his arm around another girl and walks off. He just broke up with that girl.

In the book, the kids a pussy for 99% of the story. Then in the last few pages he suddenly grows up. You could say that he was forced to, but I didn't like it. I would've preferred seeing hints of him growing up throughout the book
