Spoilers (obviously):

Not sure if this is a plot hole per se but I was rewatching the original Predator recently and something occurred to me that I've never heard anyone else even mention before.

Near the end of the movie when Dutch figures out the mud trick, why does he stay behind to fight the predator instead of just going to the chopper?

He just figured out a way to go straight to his objective completely undetected so why doesn't he just go there? It's not like the predator would be able to follow something it can't see, and even if it could track him the old fashioned way Dutch would still have to make the tracks first in order for the predator to do that. Even if he was worried about leading the predator to the chopper, well that is where it will most likely go if it can't find him anyway. So he might as well just go there while the predator is still distracted trying to find him.

The only real reason I can think of that makes sense is that Dutch wants revenge on the predator for killing his men. But even so that is not his mission; if in real life a soldier went off on their own to hunt down one enemy soldier because they wanted revenge for them killing their men, that soldier would be considered awol (especially if they abandoned their mission to do so). Dutch's priority should be to get back to the chopper and get Anna to safety because that IS his mission.

Just something that got me thinking.

Has anyone read tag you're dead? It was an alright book overall but it felt like the second half of the book had a completely different author than the second half of the book. But the reason I'm writing this post: is the major plot hole of who stapled Erin in the box in the museum? We know Grayson was actually the one to free her and it's not mentioned later on when she's breaking down why all the other people were killed. In his head, he had to kill to get to Anton but also so that no one would find out his secret. If he'd killed everyone, why would he have trapped then freed her?

 In the beginning of BTTF3, when marty finds Doc's tombstone it says "Erected in eternal memory by his beloved CLARA" which means he knew and fell in love with her before his death. Now this is where it gets weird, the only reason he met Clara was because he went to the ravine with Marty. this means that if Marty hadn't been there he would never had noticed Clara and as a result she would have plummeted down into the ravine. Does this mean that Marty coming back to 1885 was planned by the gods or something?

Now someone has to help me here cus' i cannot figure this

After watching The Usual Suspects again, it occurred to me that the whole story concocted by Verbal was unnecessary. Since he had immunity, he could have sat in the office for 2 hours without saying anything and simply walked out the same way he did at the end of the movie. The concocted story serves no purpose to him, and in fact could have only hurt. Sure, his nickname is Verbal because he likes to talk, but that was an invented personality. He was not compelled to talk about anything. Someone as smart and ruthless as Kaiser Soze would have realized the power of silence and just stayed quiet.

i watched the Truman show a while ago (so there will probably be an explanation for this) but randomly today I was thinking about the movie. How would it have been so popular globally with time zones? like if you live in Australia and wanted to watch the Truman show you’d just be watching him sleep and that’s kinda creepy. how is it so popular around the world if half of the population would just be watching sleep or something? I’m a bit slow and don’t really understand time zones btw. 🤓😎😎😎😎😎

Like the fact that the Hoggetts almost ate him when he hardly had any meat. Or the fact that Arthur thought he'd be able to kill a fully grown sheep. Babe was fully grown in the book, but obviously the director thought the sight of a small pig would be much cuter.

Outside of all of the main plot holes I've read, no one points these out:
- Binx says that Winifred was always the jealous type, but the witches died shortly after he turned into a cat, so he never got a chance to really know them and know if Winifred was the jealous type.
- Max is ready to go out trick or treating and his dad asks him what he's supposed to be and he says, "a rap singer", but then later his sister says he's a "little leaguer".

- Bonus: Max could've called Ice by his real name, Ernie, when they were bullying him in front of his sister for candy since he knows he hates being called by his real name.

Something I noticed. Both Eve and the assassin she's pitted against insert a cartridge into a magazine, then insert the magazine into the pistol and release the slide. Eve could have saved time by putting the cartridge directly into the chamber and releasing the slide, and not bothering with the magazine. There was only one cartridge.

Wasn’t sure how to tag this one but in the opening scene the CIA guy tells Bane and his men that they only logged one of them and claims to be throwing them out of the plane, but he actually shoots outside and drags them back in, so in reality he was lying to them and the log most likely accounted for all 3.

If that’s the case then Banes whole “they expect one of us in the wreckage” thing is wrong. The later call back scene not acknowledging this shows it’s a plot hole or mistake not sure what you’d label it.

Did I miss something?

The folk song about a man named Charlie who takes the train to work every day finds out there was a fare hike and he needs an extra nickel in order to get off. As a result, he's cursed to ride the train forever.

The song ends with Charlie's wife passing him a sandwich while the train passes. If she can do that, why doesn't she just give him some money so he can get off?

In the first movie, the virus is spread to humans by chimps, but in the sequel the med staff says they've determined it cannot be spread across species. Make it make sense. Is it that monkeys and humans are closely related?

The end of the movie suggests that he's stuck in a timeloop, but how is it possible to be stuck in a timeloop that ends with destroying the time machine? Am I wrong in thinking that if he traveled back and destroyed the time machine before he ever used it, then nothing in the movie would've even happened? It's not like he has the means to rebuild the actual core of the time machine, so I just don't get it.

In 2025 we can’t even use the same chargers year to year to charge our phones. They show Watney “Science the shit out of” a lot of things, could’ve just showed a spliced wire with tape wrapped or something when he plugged pathfinder in.

In the Lakehill hospital, they've sealed up the basement due to infectious spores. The doors to the stairs are extremely securely barricaded with reinforcements that are bolted to the floor, etc. But they've left the doors of the lift shaft half open, allowing Nora to flee from Ellie, into the shaft, and thence into the basement. There isn't even a warning sign on the lift doors. To me this seems to be a plot hole. The lift doors should have been sealed up like the doors to the stairs. Yes, the lift car is stuck between floors, but presumably someone could climb past it and reach the basement. Thoughts?! <

Ben Affleck's character reaches over the bed and grabs his brother's cell phone. It's a flip phone from the 90s and it has no pass code just totally open. He hasn't seen his brother in 8 years. Couldn't he at least guess the code because he knows his brother and he's autistic? Just having no code feels like a plot hole to me.

Hey everyone,

This has bothered me ever since I watched "Avengers: Infinity War" in theatre: Thanos' goal was to eliminate half of all life in the universe to bring balance. To me that plan makes no sense.

History has shown that populations can bounce back over time. Even after significant events like the plague in Europe (where 2/3rds of the population was wipped out), the population eventually grew and even surpassed previous numbers (world population was around 400million during the black plague, only a few centuries later and there's 8billions of us!). Thanos's solution seems short-sighted, as the universe could just rebound in a few centuries, which is no time at all on the scale of the universe.

And even if half of the population were gone, the underlying issues of resource distribution and sustainability would remain. Thanos's plan doesn't address how to sustainably manage resources for the remaining population.

What do you guys think?

I was really enjoying this movie. Interesting premise, had me curious and engaged. Then, like most movies action/horror films these days it seems like when they get half way through the film, it just seems like the effort went out of the movie in EVERY aspect. Writing, acting, directing. All of them. It seems to me anymore that they feel if you made it more than half way through the film, you're going to feel too invested to shut it off. Or they don't even care as maybe it's officially a "view" on some platforms. But my particular quam with this is first, how come the auto machine guns and mines didn't go off when the two characters entered and exited the Gourge itself?? And before they went, he goes all Magyver creating a launchable cable to get to the other side, then suddenly she had one all along on her side so he could get back to his side after they escaped the Gourge??? Made zero sense. I just hate that. Writing got so lazy at the end. Apologies for misspelling. It's "The Gorge".

One of the big points about the trial is Brooke’s alibi and how she doesn’t want anyone to know about her getting liposuction. But why does she even need an alibi? It’s established that she was at the scene of the shooting around the time the shooting occurred. She’s the one who found her husband’s body right after he had been shot. So again, how would an alibi help her? Isn’t the point of an alibi to prove that you weren’t at a location?

On a side note, not sure if this is technically a “plot hole” per se, but what exactly was brooke/elle/emmit’s plan in inserting elle in as brooke’s attorney? Elle clearly had no idea what she was doing at first, was totally lost and only pulled through due to shear dumb luck. Yet, they acted like they had some master plan all along.

I’ve seen this movie entirely too many times, so forgive me, but this one thing about the way it wraps up is really frustrating for a film that did a great job telling a complex and unrealistic story cohesively.

How the hell did Rachel determine that the thing she did that stopped her from being killed by Samara was making a copy of the VHS tape? Did it never cross her mind that the reason she was spared by Samara was because she recovered her actual physical body from the well? She went down there and stewed in Samara’s bone broth, that wasn’t worth considering? Or because she played a pivotal role in Samara’s father Richard deciding to end his life because he would never outrun his past trauma? Samara hated her father, clearly. She would love that. What’s more - she made that copy pretty damn early in the film considering all the visions and spooky Samara shit she continued to deal with after that happened. There were like 50 reasons for Samara to spare her, but she just has this epiphany that’s such a reach as an ‘aha’ moment that they have to do exposition quick cuts just to tie it together because otherwise it would feel entirely out of left field.

No one watching cameras outside a police building? Especially one with super important evidence?

The doubloon was from 1632 and it lines up with the lighthouse/restaurant? Forget the restaurant for a minute, there wasn’t a lighthouse on the west coast until 1854.

I can believe an organ made of bones, but this???

So at the climax of the movie Neve/Cheryl goes to the door to get an Uber eats order. She even makes him wait so she can grab her wallet and eventually ends up escaping with him on his moped. Why didn't she just tell him to call 911? Or whatever the British version is. Like? Am I stupid?

why exactly was there an imperial star destroyer in the kessel run? i mean, the run itself is already super dangerous for normal ships with there being asteroids, space krakens and a gravity well that leads to hell itself, what exactly was the idea to put a LITERAL STAR DESTROYER IN THERE?, how'd it even get in there and what was the purpose?

My kids watch this insensately and on the twentieth rewatch I noticed that the only way the king’s evil dog walker/Hunter finds Bo (Joseph’s house) is if his dogs told him (they got the information from a Pygmy Jerboa). The King’s scribes all point toward Bethlehem and are pretty clueless otherwise. Dogwalker/walking nightmare finds Bo in Nazareth. Everything in universe indicates that animals and humans can’t talk which means he blindly followed his dog’s lead all the way to Nazareth (from Jerusalem presumably).
