Plot Holes/Shit that didn't make sense in Films

[Iheart~Cali]

The vast majority of films have plot holes of some sort. They never bother me unless they're just extreme.

Glad that 1 female showed up in here. Pretty refreshing.

The fight scenes in Kill Bill and 30 Days of Night (or any other fight scene where it's 20 vs. 1).

When 20 people have one person surrounded, why do they attack the person one by one. If all 20 of you jumped the person at the same time, you'd win. But no, instead for some dumb reason (better yet, for theatrical purposes), they let 1 person attack at a time. And then all 20 end up dead.

How the hell can Uma Therman's character beat up the entire Crazy 88 squad? There were like 200 of them. And they never jumped her. They just approached her 1 by 1. When one got killed, then the next one would attack. So unrealistic.

And how come 20 vampires can't kill one guy (Josh Hartnett)?

these arent plot holes

Death Race. The beginning monologue states the majority of the U.S.and world economy is in shambles and people are broke and unemployed. Yet, millions of people payed over $100 to watch the event?

I'd add to this and say in Spider man.....2 I think it was.....when at the end he saves the chick from the exploding warehouse, he ends up using his web to swing away

but they were out on water.......technically he had nothing to swing on, and if he did the arc on his swing wouldn't have been great enough to actually swing

 

[huey]

spiderman can swing off clouds as exhibited in issue #62 in one of the series in the 80's

Wrong turn 4. They lock the hillbillies up in a jail cell at one point but decide not to set them on fire, instead leaving them there alive. I know horror movies have stupid shit all the time but this one took the cake. Stupidest shit I ever seen in any scary movie.

that was the white boy fault smh.

girls talkin about "no, don't burn them, its wrong!!!" & his azz listened, just like a hoe.

ida barbecued them niggas.

 

[Maalik]

this is off topic and i know i'm late but i just seen 'the town' w/ ben affleck ...the acting was great but it was like a white boy's homage to 'set it off' ...f. gary gray should have grounds to sue

Yea I heard that movie ripped off Set It Off

now i think about it...

the fat dude gets his truck lit up by the cops - Queen Latifah got her car lit up by the cops.

his best friend realized he wasn't getting away & he got killed trying to out shoot the cops while Ben Affleck was less than 30 feet away - Vivica Fox did the same sh*t while Jada Pinkett watched on the bus.

Ben Affleck's girl worked at the bank they robbed - Blair Underwood worked at the bank in Set it Off.

Listen, Training Day is probably in my top 3 movies of all time.

I watched that movie maybe close to 40 times.

But I keep asking myself questions about certain scenes and happenings in the movie that I've always felt could have been scripted better.

Let me begin:

- When Jake froze up in Roger's house, not once but twice.. by not taking the money claiming he only "cashes in LAPD checks", and then when he refused to shoot Roger after Alonzo told him to. Why didnt Alonzo right then and there end his life? Why did he allow Jake to take his own gun, point it in his face with all his boys in the room, and order them not to shoot Jake? And to make things even more confusing, first thing Alonzo does when he hops in his car after that scene, is you see him on the phone with the Mexican, and he says very clearly "make sure that bathtub is clean".. meaning kill Jake and wash away the evidence.

- When Jake makes it out of the Mexican house alive, comes back all the way back to Nickerson Gardens looking for Alonzo.. he manages to find him, only for Alonzo to escape through the back window. Then, once they are on the roof, Alonzo gets the upper hand and beats Jake to sleep. But he lets him live. Why? After all the shit Alonzo put him through, wasnt he scared that Jake might wake up and regain conciousness and then snitch? Why not kill him once and for all and get rid of him?

Right now I cant think of my other issues with the storyline, but I have two or three more issues with the plot.

It just makes no sense that Alonzo let him live inside Rogers house. Why? Jake already clearly showed he was not going to be lured into becoming dirty.

i guess cus alonzo is seasoned detective or whater he was. he knows that if jake dies on his roof, of he gets shot from close range in that white mans house, the police will know....he knew he had to get someon not connected to him to kill him (the mexicans) so his hands would appear clean

It just makes no sense that Alonzo let him live inside Rogers house. Why? Jake already clearly showed he was not going to be lured into becoming dirty.

Alonzo needed Jake as an alibi for Rogers death. The story they agreed on was that the new guy Jake shot Roger. Whenever an officer discharges his weapon, there's a lengthy investigation, paperwork, etc. The officers dealings are more closely scrutinized, and that's the last thing a guy like Alonzo or his crew needed. They were crooked, so they chose Jake because he's clean. He's a new officer with no skeletons that could potentially turn up under all that extra scrutiny. So they needed Jake alive for that purpose.

As far as the ending scene, Alonzo didn't have a gun when he was fighting Jake on the roofso he couldn't have killed him at that time. When Jake went to Eva's apartment, he had Alonzo put all his weapons in a pillowcase. Alonzo only had the shotgun strapped underneath the bed. it looked like a double barrel shotgun if I remember, and he definitely fired at least twice in the apartment, so without anymore bullets, he didn't have a weapon available to kill Jake. Plus he was trying to hurry and make his appointment with the Russians.

Ok so basically in the time after they leave Rogers house to the time they cut to Alonzo in the car on his phone with the Mexican, they must have explained the whole thing to the police.. That makes sense.

Still dont understand why Alonzo kept him around though considering Jake pulled the gun on him and refused to shoot Roger. And like I said, he was the only one who was against taking the money.

Like Dr Dre said all they had to do was kill Jake and make it look like Roger capped him when he was coming through the door.

But again what you said makes sense, they just skipped past that whole scene though.

As for the ending on the roof.. I think Alonzo did have two oppurtunities to finish Jake off. First when he climbs out the window and Jake follows him, he could have waited for him on the edge and threw him off the roof. And then secondly, Jake actually had a gun on the roof and when Alonzo catches him he wrestles it out of Jakes hand and it falls to the floor. He could have picked it up and finished him off but he beats him to a pulp and leave him unconcious on the roof instead.

Then you see him bring out another gun when Jake jumps on his car he could have easily stopped the car and shot him in his head.

But I think like the other dude said, only thing I can think of is they wrote the movie that particular way just to prolong it some more.

Hmm all I can think is that there could be 2 reasons.

1) He didn't want to have to explain away a dead cop at his residence (well his gf's residence).

2) He was already getting dressed to make his appointment with the Russian's when Jake showed up so maybe he was only intent on getting out of there as fast as possible.

@rip.dilla

Inception is a paradox...only the director knows the truth and the movie is his spinning top

 

[S.jR.]

I remember when the town came out I posted a bunch of similarities to set it off some major and others very small.. it was entertaining though.

it made sense....it might not be realistic but it made sense as far as the story/plot goes dumb nigga

 

[vageneral08]

In Belly, did Method Man have a vest on? Cause ain't no way a nigga just gonna get blasted with a shotgun, fall, get right back up and hop in a Benz. And after the first half of Nas reading the minister's book, why all of a sudden was it a duty to kill him off? He had no impact on anything throughout the whole thing, but all of a sudden he gotta die

yes he did have on a vest

 

[vageneral08]

The happening as a movie had me like what the fuck?

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Boogie Nights:

Dirk Diggler's (Wahlberg) prized "competition orange" Corvette was wrecked all of a sudden (in the final scene where him, Reed and and Todd went to the drug dealer Rahad's home and tried to tried to sell fake dope for cash)...in the movie however it never showed how he wrecked it.

But fortunately on deluxe Blu Ray edition and it was a deleted scene where Dirk was coked up driving and he ran into a telephone poll, in which they plotted on robbing the drug dealer to get money to fix his car..
