What are your favorite plot holes in movies?
IrishJazz:
Some more recent ones:
In "3:10 to Yuma" the bad guys are sent 20 miles, on horseback, in the wrong direction. They make up the 40 miles in about 5 minutes.
In "Unstoppable" the Denzel Washington/Chris Pine characters see an explosion that is miles away. The police park about ten feet away from where they plan to derail a train. A tank farm is placed beneath a ridiculously sharp turn in a raised track.
But my favorite is the big switch with the neon lights on its handle and the "Do not touch" sign that causes the big fan to self-destruct in the Michael Bay movie "The Island." Then again, pretty much every scene in a Michael Bay movie is a plot hole.
BTW FX- the butler heard Charles Foster Kane say "rosebud" when his second wife left him, and "that other time." This is mentioned rather late in the movie, and the "other time" ambiguous, the butler is not shown in the death scene, just the nurse entering the room reflected in the broken glass.
♫♪ FX ♪♫:
--- Quote --- It would appear that Welles intentionally withholds information from the audience in the opening scene in Kane's bedroom. The audience is only allowed to see the room in fragments and in close-ups and we never see the room in its entirety. Therefore, we cannot ascertain to any degree of certainty that Kane was alone in the room when the word "Rosebud" was spoken. Indeed, later in the film, Raymond, the butler of Charles Foster Kane, informs Thompson (the reporter) that he was in the room at the time of Kane's demise and heard his dying words.

Morpheus: "... combined with a form of fusion..."
What???
Why the Hell would you need human "batteries" if you have fusion???

Maybe "fusion" means "hanky-panky"
GodSlayer:
even if you have some good reason to have humans as batteries, why can't they be in a coma? The Matrix is pointless.
