Wedding Crashers. The two daughters and the mom all are hitting on Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson the entire film. Yet they know them as "Uncle Ned's kids", which means they are all supposed to be related. Let's ignore the fact that nobody asks who the hell Uncle Ned is. The only way they let them stay in their house is if they think they are related. But then, they all want to ****. SMH

1. Aren't they sitting in the groom's side and claim to know him as opposed to the bride who is the girls' sister?

2. Even if not, wouldn't it be a meta joke on cousins in political families tied to the conversation later on about FDR and Eleanor?

That could be. They were on the right side, though that doesn't guarantee they were guests of the groom. Even still, Brad Cooper is the kind of guy who would have kept harping on them about who they are and who the heck Uncle Ned is. Especially since his fiance is getting cozy with one of them the entire time. There's a minor scene at dinner where he asks them and they tell him and he just kind of shrugs it off but lol @ that. It works better this way, though. Otherwise the film is 23 minutes long.

In Planet of the Apes, Taylor thinks they are on a planet far from earth but the apes are speaking English.

Watched Limitless again last night and caught a couple of possible plotholes...

#1 In the early point of the film where he is trying to pick up more of the drug from his brother in law but discovers him murdered, he calls the cops to report the murder but then finds the stash of NZT and hides it on his person. The next scene he is in the cop shop talking to a detective. How did he get out of the apartment and to the cop shop with drugs on him without ever being searched? Surely if you're at a murder scene whether you called it in or not, you get searched.

#2 He runs up $1200 to over $2M. Then prepares to broker a merger deal for a $40M commission. While the deal is getting ready to go through he buys an $8.5M apartment. The merger deal falls through when on of the parties dies. How does he buy said apartment? I'm guessing credit, but meh. I thought that was a bit of a jump.

There are more here, http://movieplotholes.com/limitless.html, but these are a couple that weren't so immediately obvious.

Well, that certainly depends on your definition of "great" which is of course relative. By my definition, I would say it is entertaining, not great. But if great movies were definined as a movie with an interesting and unique plotline that could likely hold your attention span for the entirety of the movie while also being entertaining... then great it would be.

Truthfully, I just noticed those plot holes when I was watching it last night and thought of this thread, so I figured it would be a good chance to pad my post count some.

Why didn't the Decepticons just bid high on Shia LeBouf's special glasses he had on eBay?

it's not a great movie but in "it could happen to you" nic cage n his wife somehow only get 4mil while a bowling team with the same numbers gets 9million when they hit the jackpot.

just for the life of me can't understand how writer, director, producer and everyone else involved in the making of the film could be so ignorant as to how a lottery works.

mind bogglingly stupid.

Yeah wouldn't be a great movie.

The Mexican stand-off scene, I watched this on slow and Harvey Keitel gets two shots off iirc.

Maybe I just missed something, but here's a problem I had with A Most Violent Year.

Spoiler:

By the end of the movie we learn that the guys that are stealing the trucks are just two independent guys just stealing the fuel for cash and not some rival with some sort of master plan to take Abel down. I can imagine that the intruder at his home is just a random coincidence. But who beats up his salesman and why?

I don't have a problem with Uncle Ned thing, because it's a comedy and that was their "in". But Vince Vaughn not telling Owen Wilson that he's seeing Isla Fisher makes really no sense. She is Rachel McAdam's sister! She could help him in finding out whether Rachel was oblivious, on the fence, definitely in love, whatever.

Instead, Jeremy tries to call John repeatedly over a period of months (even though they work in the same office!) and there's no contact until John tries to convince him to crash the engagement party as waiters. Just nonsensical.

Oh yeah the end is dumb. I think they even say it's been like 6 months. 6 months, best friends, no idea who he's dating. lol.

Also just like how the F does Vince Vaughn keep dating that girl after he was revealed to be a (social) scam artist to her entire family? Does he really want to marry her? Why? He is persona non grata to their entire family except for her. And he gets laid all the time so what's so special about her?

It bothers me a bit in Predator when Arnold is preparing for his final stand against the predator and the mud he has on him is just a thin, partial coat of totally dry mud. I'd be fanatical about making sure I was slathered in cold mud always. But what's dumber is that he's doing a bunch of stuff in the light on a fire. A fire? Really? The predator isn't going to notice a ****ing fire going while you're fashioning your bow and arrows?

Tangentially, I just read the original script of that movie, and the ending was ****ing terrible. It takes place in this rock formation where Arnold can't tell where sounds are coming from, but then eventually he finds the predator and beats him up (the predator is physically inferior in the original script), and the predator gets up and flees to his spaceship, but just before the door to it closes, Arnold fires a shot from the predator's gun and it blows everything up. Then he shares a tender moment with Anna in the helicopter. (Also, it's Ana, with one ****in n. There are no double consonants in Spanish. Nobody caught that?)

Well sometimes you got to the love story for what it's supposed to be. On a sidenote, Isla Fisher doesn't get enough credit for that role. She was a bimbo, but was playing it higher than anyone besides Bradley Cooper, and managed to get her own laughs with some pretty average material. I know she's had some decent roles since then, but never broke through like she could have. Like I'd rather watch her than Katherine Heigl.

Raiders of the lost ark. The whole movie is a plot hole. He is trying to get the ark so the Germans don't. He fails, they get it. They die anyway. If he'd never even tried to get the ark, the Germans would still be dead and wouldn't have it.

Yes we've all seen the Big Bang episode that explains that.

When that movie came out, Ahnold was interviewed and he said that Predator is a lot more realistic then Commando because it was a 1-on-1 battle, and not a dude taking out an entire army. Always thought that was kinda funny.

Only the result of Temple of Doom would be different if Indy had stayed home and banged coeds all day rather than running around, getting beaten up, and generally having a terrible time.
