Indiana Jones and the last crusade

Jehovah begins with an "I", so why is there even a "J" on the floor in a 2000 year old booby trap that should contain only latin letters? Also, Indy saves himself by grabbing the blocks next to him, neither of which are "I."

watched Patton yesterday, great film! 8.5+/10 imo

reminded me a bit of lawrence of arabia with its long runtime, grandscaled epicness, war and plentiful desert scenes. sick performance by the main actor.

Almost seems wrong to mention anything written or directed by Quentin Tarantino, as I'm pretty sure he leaves them in his movies intentionally just to **** with people, but...

True Romance...one would expect that, given the fact that the meeting at the end was a setup (Balkie you rat) that the cops would have a description of Clarence and Alabama, but they a) survive the shootout (Clarence miraculously regains consciousness in the nick of time to make their escape), b) take the elevator down to the lobby, c) walk out the front door of the hotel where cops are crawling all over, d) get into their highly-conspicuous purple convertible Cadillac and e) drive away unseen by any of the hundreds of cops on the scene. I mean...wat?

Reservoir Dogs...the pseudo Mexican standoff toward the end. Mr. White is aiming at Joe. Joe is aiming at Mr. White. Nice Guy Eddie is aiming at Mr. White. SHATS. Joe, Eddie dead. Who shot Eddie?

Kill Bill...Beatrix drives around in broad daylight in the Pussy Wagon after having obviously killed the owner of Pussy Wagon (even Mayberry RFD could have put those pieces together). Maybe cops should have been on the lookout for said Pussy Wagon?

For a non-Tarantino submission,

Return of the King...more a plot hole in the original story than the movie, but they had flying eagles ffs. Why walk all the way to Mount Doom when you could have just flown?

Been quite some time since I've watched, though I believe Mr. White gets off shots in both directions before going down.

tarentino has acknowledged that the standoff scene was flawed but said it looked so good and he kindv liked the flaw so he kept it in.
but he was aware.

Worse, the psychoactive drugs they've been putting into the water supply for weeks becomes active when it turns into steam. So anyone in Gotham taking a hot shower, making hot tea, or even cooking ramen would have already had their brains fried and gone berserk.

I'd always assumed Mr White shot both Joe and Nice Guy Eddie, as he was still alive (though badly wounded) after the shootout was over.

Many of these aren't great movies, but some of these plot holes are pretty good. For some reason it jumps to #10 of 17, so you need to scroll forward and backward to see them all.

The ID4 one's not entirely accurate.

Not really a plot hole here but in Beetlejuice it always bugged me how they go to dig up his grave with shovels and you clearly see when Alec Baldwin digs his shovel in that it's a loose ply of some board that he can simply pick up and toss aside. They dig 6 feet of this stuff up as inefficiently as possible and get to the casket and let out an exasperated "Oh! It's about time."

In Rocky II Rocky works at Mick's gym doing odd jobs b/c his wife doesn't want him to fight anymore. He's just gone the distance with the champion in the first film, who is publicly ridiculing him trying to get him to fight again so he can whoop him and prove he took him too lightly the first time around. Anyway, a bunch of the fighters at the gym also pick on Rocky and call him chicken and stuff. It makes no sense. Yes, the job is a bit degrading, but this is Rocky's gym. These people know him. He's one of Mick's closest pets. He's just gone the distance with the champion. He'd be treated with great respect and reverence, even though he's now "retired". These guys would want to pick his brain and befriend him because people gravitate toward successful people.

The way they treat him helps further the plot as it eats away at him until finally he talks Adrienne into letting him fight the rematch. But it doesn't make any sense.

not technically a plot hole, but one thing that never made sense to me is why brad and his partners were eating burgers at 7:30am and why was the wolf wearing a tux at 8:15am?

Wolf pulled an all-nighter at a hotel suite that had casino games, imo.

We're never shown Micky teaching Rocky how to write with his right hand in Rocky. See Beginning of Rocky 2.

It isn't a plot hole in Kill Bill imo, in that film's universe it's fine. May as well wonder why she can walk through Japanese airports with a katana sword unaccosted, or defeat a whole army of gangsters who for some reason mercifully decide to bring martial arts weapons instead of guns.

here's a redditors theory on the eagle plot hole in lotr

Meh, I know you're right, which is why I prefaced the post the way I did. You could fill a decent sized pamphlet with stuff like that from his films. He uses them a lot to further his stories, and somehow it (usually) works.

Like in Reservoir Dogs, the cops know where the hideout is, presumably are watching it...yet sit idly by while one of their own gets tortured and murdered only because Joe hasn't showed up yet? That's a hugely unrealistic hole in the story IMO, but the story simply wouldn't have worked without it.

I didnt think Mr.Orange or Marvin Nash had a radio or smartphone on them. The cops know where the hideout is, and are presumably watching the outside of it. If they had cameras set up inside or a visual, I imagine it would have been quite a sad dereliction of duty to let a fellow officer be tortured and immolated right before their eyes. Then again, it is Tarantino.

Very unlikely real police let the robbery go down at all in Reservoir Dogs. Too big a chance that civilians get hurt. Much more likely they bust everyone at the coffee shop beforehand and charge them with conspiracy + weapons charges (they're all ex-cons, so just possessing a handgun is a crime).

Mr.Orange should have shot Mr.Blonde earlier though. I'm sure Marvin would have appreciated it.

in grosse point blank when he's in the mini mart having the shootout and the bad guy puts the bomb in the microwave and cusack is staring at the microwave he runs out side then runs back in n grabs the clerk then runs back out in the nick of time before the bomb explodes.

never understood why he didn't just press "stop" on microwave.

makes zero sense.

Wonder what a microwave would do to C4, chemically speaking?

Makes me wonder why the guy carried a bomb without any sort of timer and why he didn't just plant it under Cusack's rental car.


But it's clearly supposed to be the kind of wacky over the top movie where we don't question these things (Dan Akroyd is starting a hitman union, ffs).

It's not a good movie but in Hangover III we meet Marshall and find out Chow stole 21 million from him a while back. Marshall spoke to Chow behind glass in prison and Chow told him to F off. Cut to Marshall kidnaps the Wold Pack and somehow has a pile of letters Alan has written to Chow. HOW DID HE GET THESE LETTERS. And the letters are a key plot point b/c Alan is the only one who has communication with Chow and it's how Marshall knows to kidnap Alan if he wants to get to Chow.
