Just watched a film on Netflix called “mine”
It is actually quite good. Well acted, good cinematography and clever scenes emphasising delirium. The major plot hole being that if you step on a landline it blows up instantly and not when you take your foot off it.
Have you watched anything lately that had major plotholes? |

That’s not really a plot hole it’s just factually inaccurate. |

Well a massive plot hole since the film is about him surviving while not moving off a land mine in the scorching hot desert. |

I’m confused. You said it blows up if you touch it. If his foot is already on it how hasn’t it blown up? |

Spectre - by no means alone among Bond films with plot holes - has Blofeld's henchman trying to finish Bond off, notably wrecking a train with no questions asked. However, Blofeld's aim seems to be to get Bond into his clutches and rearrange his memory. How does that all work? |

That’s my point. In reality if you stepped on a mine it would instantly blow up. Not wait for you to step off it before it blew. |

The Game starring Michael Douglas.
A great film….until the final explanation which is absolutely bloody ridiculous on all logical fronts.
So they predicted that he would eventually jump off of THAT very specific building on THAT specific side…?!!! 
I doth call’eth bollocks! (And then call’eth them some more!) |

Another one which requires one to turn off all logic centres in the old cerebrum: Now You See Me.
Switching a live person for a body in a car mid car chase?(!!!)
Yeah right.
And the final ridiculous and downright cliched reveal - Mark Ruffalo set it all up(!!!) Please!!!
*belated spoiler alert!

Spoiler alert. Some mines are designed to allow people or vehicles to pass over them more than once before detonating. |

Back in 1981 there was an American made for TV series called Goliath Awaits.
Scientists discover a sunken liner from WW2 in 1000 water. After they dive on the wreck they see a face behind a porthole and learn 300 survivors still live on it in an air bubble.
Yes, someone closed all the doors on the top deck as it sunk?! Conveniently it landed near to an underwater volcano where they tap it for heat. Chemicals on board allowed them to recycle the air and the captain (Christopher Lee) had just been on a course for hydroponics so they could grow veg and catch fish through the hole created by the torpedo strike.
Yes for 40 years they lived below the waves…
Complete bollocks. Available on YouTube… |

Skyfall.
1. How can Javier Bardem possibly know precisely where Bond would catch up to him, in order to plant a load of bombs to chuck an Underground train at him? He doesn't know where Bond will be in the building when he escapes. He can't be certain Q will spot him onm CCTV, esp once he's changed clothes. Then Bond barely makes the jump onto the train anyway, flukes the service door being ajar, AND is in crap physical shape anyway.
2. When all the disposable henchman arrive at the house, everybody is inside. How does Bond get out to the car as they walk down the driveway? Tiptoes?

Raiders of the Lost Ark.
“Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren’t in the film, it would turn out exactly the same… If he weren’t in the movie, the Nazis would still have found the Ark, taken it to the island, opened it up, and all died, just like they did.” |

The Karate Kid: The tournament rules are expressly stated as no blows to the head.
Daniel’s iconic, final winning move: He kicks Johnny in the face(!!!) (Something Johnny quite rightly is still pissed off about to this very day, as he whinges about in Cobra Kai)  |

If you are interested in reading a massive database of plotholes and other goofs in movies, have a look at IMDB (database) that meticulously looks for these.
Other analyses cave found on Google Video.
For example, in the scene from Apocalypce Now, when Robert Duvall's Airborne helicopters are attacking the village, the tape with the broadcast music, Ride of the Valkyries, is visibly not spooling through the heads of the tape recorder.
Binoculars on most films show the wrong shape on screen; the viewer should see a circular image.
In the film Jubal from 1956, the doctor in the hanging scene is wearing a wristwatch; and when carrying firewood back to the farmhouse Jubal passes by a vehicle from the 1950s, when the film was set in a time long before motor vehicles.
To repeat, IMDB, and look at the Goofs, Spoilers and Trivia; and then check the actual films. The accuracy of IMDB is impeccable.
Finally, in the 1948 film, Call North side 777, the central tenet of the film, photographic enlargement is totally flawed; but I won't spoil it for you!

Bond again: No Time To Die. At the start of the movie, The henchmen wait until Bond is on a bridge before trying to either run him over or shoot him from the car or motorbike... Whereas at any time prior to this they could have simply walked up behind him and double tapped him in the head. Bang, bang. No need for a convoluted chase. |

Jaws: The Revenge.
Where to begin with this one……
So the shark is apparently super intelligent and has a personal vendetta against the Brody family...?
Best of all though, it presumably must have planted a GPS tracking device on them as they FLY to the Bahamas from Amity and it follows them there(!!!)

Hollow Man.
Kevin Bacon gets multiple blasts from a flamethrower, a smack on the head with a crowbar, and gets a significant electric shock, all in about two minutes.
He then gets stuck in a lift that gets blown up a few floors, and drops down again.
And survives.
He's then dropped back down the lift shaft into the fire.
Which we are now expected to believe will kill him. |

"Top Gun and Maverick. Tom cruise is so small his feet could not touch the pedals! Haha"
Same as casting him in Reacher who is built like a brick shit house in the books and about 6ft5 or around there |

There was apparently a type of German landmine which triggered after you step off (or after a small delay), but it would spring into the air and explode at waist height. Known as the S-Mine or "bouncing Betty", it would spray shrapnel in every direction and over a distance of 100 meters or so... |

"Harry potter- once the time turner is introduced the whole series becomes pointless. go back and kill voldemort, or teach him to use his magic to stop littering ... or something."
time tuners can't be used to change time. If it happened in your past it has happened.
It does cause questions about determinism.
My HP plot hole is why are the weasleys so poor. Their kids spend most of the time at a boarding school which appears to be free. Mrs Weasley can magic the housework so could be working. Mr weasley appears to have a decent job. And I can't see why they cant magic clothes etc.
I can only assume they are smackheads. |

"Diamonds Are Forever
Bond flips a car onto two wheels to fit it into a narrow alleyway...
...and comes out of the alleyway on the other two wheels.
"
I believe this was spotted before the films release and an additional shot performed. During the scene you see the car flip the other way correcting the mistake. How it does the flip is not clear as it's done while camera is on Bond and Case. |

There is a video online which meticulously goes through all the holes in the film, Goldfinger.
Don"t look at the mighty oak too closely or you'll only see the rotten bark; it is easy to be critical of plot, continuity, items out of context, etc.
It is still, by a very long chalk, the best Bond movie, even though it was made nearly sixty years ago! |

To be pedantic, that's a continuity error not a plot hole.  |

Strangely, I thought about this film the other day but couldn't remember the name of it...  |

"LOTR if Gandalf could summon the eagles why didnt he do that at the start and they could all fly to mordor to destroy the ring  "
Tolkien himself actually answered this one, but....
Tom Bombadil was not affected by the ring at all and would have had the whole mess cleared up in a week or two if they'd sent him instead. |
