T-rex: " Shh, be very very quiet, I'm hunting a raptor"
Something Sheet metal workers/ HVAC installers know....the ductwork that bruce willis crawls through in die hard is NOTHING like real ductwork. no acoustic liners, no fire dampers, smooth, no jagged edges,srews or anything, and most of all....IT HOLDS HIS WEIGHT. Duct hangers aren't designed to hols much more weight than they have to. bruce would have come crashing down pretty quickly.
Xulius Caesar If ever you see BWA written on a duct line, its a joke among the sheet metal guys. It stands for "Bruce Willis Approved"
+Xulius Caesar
IT IS A MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!
I am aware of that, and I actually quite enjoy the movie. I was just pointing out a part of the movie which is inconsistent with real life. A movie is fantasy, and I was simply pointing a part of that fantasy out to those that may not have caught it. Thank you very much for "yelling" at me though, your capital letters and superfluous exclamation points really hit your accurate point home. It is indeed a movie.
Most movies are inconsistent with real life. No one on youtube cares that you know anything about sheet metal and hvac. You come off as a sarcastic fuck, if you do indeed work sheet metal or hvac i bet your coworkers fucking hate you.
Ryan Driscoll whatever you say, kid....whatever you say.
The Star Wars stuff was explained somewhere at some point. Basically Obiwan knew that Darth Vader would never go back to Tatooin because his mother died there and he blamed himself for not saving her. So Obiwan hid Luke there and stayed to watch over him.
What really doesn't make sense is how Vader treats Leia in Episode 4. He should know that she's Amidala's and his daughter.
But I guess at that point Lucas and the other writers didn't know that Luke and Leia are were siblings. That kiss was really incesty in hindsight.
Vader never knew Amidala had twins. In fact, he never even knew she had a baby at all. Remember last time he saw her in Episode 3, he was force-choking her to death. It wasn't until the beginning of episode 5, when the Emperor was like "you know that rebel punk who fucked up our plans last time? I have no doubt that he was the offspring of anakin skywalker."
What makes you think he would know who Leia is?
RosekiSommers
It really doesn't matter that he didn't "know" it. He could sense that Luke was his son, so why not with Leia?
He also knew that she had to be at least a close relative of Amidala's, since she was princess of Alderan. That and his force abilities really should have clued him in.
She isnt force sensitive, so he wouldn't have felt her the way he did with Luke. He doesnt even know Luke is his son at the start, he just says he has a weird feeling about him. I'm guessing he did a bit of research too.
What would being a princess of Alderaan have anything to do with anything? Amidala was from Naboo, not Alderaan and the roayl positions on Naboo are voted in, she wasnt the Queen when she had Luke and Leia, she was just a senator and Leias last name on Alderaan was Organa and as far as she knew, she was Bail Organa's daughter.
I'm also pretty sure Vader never knew his children or their names.
I would still expect him to send someone kill obiwan i mean the guy cut his limbs off and tatooine is under empire control so they should have a register of a ben kenobi
I don't think he understands what ghosts were about in 6th Sense. It wasn't like Bruce Willis lived a normal life thinking he's alive. It was state of mind where he fooled himself and ignored all signs that he's dead. No one hired him, he didn't think someone hired him, he just didn't think about it. "Living" as a ghost was all about present moment.
Actually, this is the exact same way people dream. Your dreams usually make absolutely no sense. You can merge two people into one (for example, your mother and your teacher), you can suddenly lose your voice for no reason, you can open the door at your house and there would be an ocean or a jungle outside and it is very rare (or possible never) that you would think "what the...? This doesn't make any sense! I must be dreaming!" It really annoys me that people don't get this concept about the 6th sense, when it is something they experience so often. You see the world, as you want to see it. You are dreaming. You are never going to think "Hey... why nobody except that kid talks to me?"
***** That's weird.
***** That is very unusual.
The point he was making was that viewers should have wondered who hired him?
I got so pissed off at him for not saying anything at the reception after the funeral. I couldn't figure out why he was just standing there like a specter.......then I felt stupid for not seeing it sooner.
I get the point, but when exactly is the 'present moment'?
Like if we just go with this nothing about the movie matters at all (well...it matters even less than it does now... I guess.)
You can say nothing ever actually happened or anything you want did/didn't happen at any point.
Not a great explanation of my point but I think it's understandable and just blindly rambling on about this probably won't help me clarify.
The pretending to be terrorists was not a plothole. In the movie, it revealed that Hans Gruber put on the terrorist facade in anticipation that the FBI would respond to a terrorist incident and cut power to the building, thereby opening the vault.
Saddam Hussein Yeah, but why not just have a separate guy go and cut the power without the whole 'Pretending to be terrorists' thing? I mean, Obrien was right when he said that it is inefficient to stage a crime to cover up a more insignificant crime.
Jacob Lucas They also wanted to fake their deaths, reasoning very correctly that police would never give up on such a large heist, and they didn't want anyone to suspect theft as their motive. Cutting the power themselves would also give away their intentions, as, absent a desire to get into the vault, power would be of value to them.
You could argue that the authorities would find the bearer bonds were missing anyway and then become suspicious. That's the real plot hole. I don't remember whether the intent was to destroy the building thoroughly enough to hide that evidence as well. I don't think it was.
TaintedMustard Valid points. I suppose this is the reason I'm not writing movies :p
TaintedMustard You found a plothole in a video about plotholes!
Jacob Lucas They aren't just thieves they are murderers (the guards in the lobby, they planned to have to kill them...) so either way they would get life in prison or the death penalty, it's not really a less significant crime...
Most of these aren't plot holes. Plot holes are about the PLOT. Most of the things described here are either minor movie mistakes / inconsistencies with little to no impact on the plot and other stuff here is not an error on any level.
For instance that Sixth Sense thing. Throughout the entire movie we learn that ghosts' perception of reality is very limited or distorted, they are in absolute denial that they are dead. Bruce Willis' character is never able to open the door to his study and yet he sometimes finds himself inside. That's not an error, that's an inside look into how that denial of ghosts works and we need to assume that he does not physically move between places or literally sit around with characters in silence for several minutes. We are lead to believe that his existence works very much like movie cuts, he just skips from scene to scene, between moments that can maintain his illusion that he's still alive. It's not a plot hole in any way, it's actually well thought-out part of the movie.
+fotakatos ok grammar nazi?
+Nuno Anjos Did you use a question mark because you're not sure if he's being a grammar nazi or not? Or is it because you're stupid?
+Jackson de Wit I like you
they're definitely not a grammar nazi because "For instance that Sixth Sense thing." is not a complete sentence and should not have ended with a sentence
Many of them are continuity errors, not plot holes.
Darth Vader HATES Tatooine. He actively avoids thinking about it and going there. It's the source of all his childhood and adolescent pain and fear. Would you return to the place where you failed to save your mother? And also was the place you lived as a slave? No, it's completely understandable that a person would NEVER want to return to that place. Not to mention he thought his wife and child were dead.
+Jesse Wallis i said the same thing!
+Jesse Wallis Additionally, Vader DOES mean father in dutch. the darth is the surname of a sith
+Jesse Wallis Fucking exactly what I thought :) Both Anakin and Vader never really liked Tatooine, they wanted to stay as far away from that place as possible. Besides Vader was fucking busy man: Killing rebels, finding rebels, finding surviving Jedi, killing Jedi, training Starkiller, tending to whatever else plans he had to overthrow the Emperor and just generally being a military leader. You think being a professional go to guy for the supreme commander as well as running different side projects *and* keeping track and command of an army, spread out over hundreds of solar systems, is easy?
Obi-Wan hiding out there is genius idea (why he didn't fucking train Luke throughout the 2 DECADES he was there is not). Also he is a humanoid, easier to blend in that way. Yoda is far more recognisable and much more powerful and thus more attuned to the Force, which in turn makes him easier for SIth to find.
+SpectreDragon "why he didn't fucking train Luke throughout the 2 DECADES he was there is not"
This is something people often ask or are baffled about. The truth is quite simple: active use of force is easy (or at least easier) to detect then just being sensitive to it. Yeah, he could teach him about other stuff. Educate, do all the The Count of Monte Cristo prison-training routine. But the reason he was not using force or awaken it in Luke is just that simple: active force user can be detected, passive is hard even if you know what you are looking for. It does not matter if it's light or dark by the way, 'dark/light side clouding your vision' is not the explanation.
Dave Cöen yeah I thought it might be something like that, but still Yoda is th emost powerful Yedi out there, yet he hides just fine for 20+ years, but you are not going to teach Luke something (hand-to-hand fighting or swordsmanship, etc). He could have had a highly trained badass that "just" needed to learn force-related stuff. But no he lets him go into it without any preparation.
Darth Vader being Luke's father wasn't even planned when Lucas created Star Wars. It was only added when they were writing the script for The Empire Strikes Back. Also, it wasn't even Lucas' idea.
Isn't that pretty much what he said in the video?
The Jurassic Park plot hole is a classic case of people from Cracked paying less attention to the movie than their audience, because it is all there in the movie. The Visitors Center is not finished yet. Half of it has a giant hole in the side, covered by plastic (this is why we see one of the raptors lift its head from underneath a plastic sheet at the climax.). You can see the T-Rex still having its tail sticking through the hole, and you can also see the hole on the outside of the building. The T-Rex was clearly waiting in hiding, waiting to strike. The irony here is that the people that edited this video only showed the initial part of the T-Rex appearing, and not the shot where you can clearly see the plastic tarp that covers the unfinished part of the Visitors Center, which is in the movie.
Why on earth would a T. rex, and granted I don't know anything about real t rexes but in the movie it is shown as a predator who rushes in making a shitload of noise, not as a sneaky predator
Ilan Bliss
The movie is inconsistent regarding the noise that the T-Rex makes, for plot convenience. But they are definitely wrong about the T-Rex coming out of nowhere. Its shown in the movie.
Imaculata Also, regarding the earthquake-making noises, as has been addressed elsewhere in the comments, it's about situation and context. In the beginning, the humans were sitting silently with bated breath as the T-Rex stomped around to escape her enclosure and check out her new surroundings. She wasn't hunting- she had just eaten a goat, after all- just curious. Not to mention that she was walking on the same flat surface upon which the humans were sitting in their cars. Later, when we see her hunt the Gallimimus, she ambushes them out of nowhere. Clearly, when she's hunting, she knows how to be sneaky. So, when Grant, Satler, and the kids are surrounded by raptors with broken dinosaur bones falling from the ceiling, it makes sense that they wouldn't notice an ambush predator approaching the raised building from the outside until it was right on top of them. As for the raptors, well, they were out of their element and got got. The T-rex didn't become the apex predator by getting out-maneuvered by raptors, after all.
Yes, because the T-Red was totally a master of stealth in the rest of the movie.
Rae Matthews Clever girl... (Sorry, I couldn't resist) ;)
Unless a film or show specifically tells the audience that some sequence is supposed to be actual time like the show 24 does, you should expect the often used aspect of time compression, or cutting from one time to a time later on as standard used techniques, and thus, cannot be considered plot holes.
Three words: "Suspension of disbelief." Since the 1890's.
3:22 their is a huge hole in the side of the building right behind the T Rex
yes, but the point still remains...how did the t-rex come through it without being heard? if he knocked the hole in the wall at the moment of entry then the sound would've alerted the raptors, which would've evaded out of the way. or if the hole was already there his walking pace shakes the ground audibly and physically (which is pointed out specifically in this video). and we can safely assume that in full "attack mode" he would've been charging in on the raptors, so that would be an even heavier, louder ground shake. either way how did he get in that room COMPLETELY undetected?
Edward Teach
Given their size and build, t-rexes would likely have been ambush predators, something like crocodiles on land. Hide, and strike quickly. T-rex was standing there, outside the hole, just out of site, and sprung her trap at just the right time, she wasn't stomping around outside. Plus, ever notice how you don't really hear or feel elephants moving around at zoos or circuses. The thing that really doesn't make sense is the t-rex making a lot of noise earlier in the film.
Dave Robson i'm not arguing other animals in the real world nor what T-rexes may or not have been as far as their predatory strategies. i'm arguing what the movie had already established for it's T-rex, which is a huge lumbering stomping noisy behometh of a thing that had no previously indicated stealth strike capabilities. don't talk about what "real" ones did or did not do nor how elephants do or do not sound. my point (as well as the video's) is what we see earlier in the movie which is a VERY audible and physical ground stomp under a normal walking pace. so again, if she knocked the hole in the wall the raptors and humans would've reacted before she could've stricken, and if she walked or charged through an existing hole she would've shaken the ground terribly.
there's a large opening behind the T Rex covered in plastic tarp from the unfinished wall of the building...plus Grant and Ellie and kids were to busy dealing with the Raptors to notice the T Rexes sneak attack!
zosometalgod
Guys 9/11 was an inside job. Hulk Hogan is the Terminator
To be fair to the Die hard plot, Willis is the star, but he's also alone for like 80% of the film. What you gonna do, give him no lines to say? That would be boring as shit.
+paul hardman Also, I can't be the only one that rants out loud to myself while no-one else is around at work when things are going wrong.
Or maybe I am. Either way, I can relate. :)
Splattercat That had never occurred to me but yes you're right
***** I play Football manager 2015 and shout "You fucking bellend!" at the screen at least 4 or 5 times per game.
+paul hardman A good director could pull it off. Look at 2001. Less dialogue than die hard even without john mclain's lines. plus it's a better movie.
*****
It's only subjective in that I can't prove it or do so easily.
Die Hard is just a low brow action flick with no deep meaning or complexity to it. Anyone who's a fan of it should at least be willing to admit that. If not I'd be delighted to hear their opinion on what that deeper meaning is.
I hate to be "that guy" but with the T Rex scene the schematics for the building were released by universal it's still under construction and there's a portion of wall missing. You can see it earlier in the movie when Hammond is leading a tour. It's blocked off with tarp but it goes outside.
+Mark Russell Sure, but that still doesn't explain how no one heard this massively humungous and clumsy thing stroll into the room!
+asotolp It's like the movie where kids play basketball and you don't see the Gorilla walk by. The Raptors suck up all their attention -- a train could ride by, nobody would notice. And it's a movie ffs.. and a damn good one at that -- who cares :D
+P. De Rop You shouldn't come into a conversation that's based on analysis of movies as though they followed the rules of the real world with the argument "But it's a movie."
Chris Hawkins whatever gave you that idea :D
P. De Rop Yes, I know the "movie" with the basketball play and gorilla... But that is a VISUAL test. Did you even read my comment, dude? I said "that still doesn't explain how no one HEARD this massively humungous and clumsy thing stroll into the room!" What does kids playing basketball have to do with being able to hear a multi ton T Rex's entering a room?
To be completely honest I probably talk to myself more than John McClane. Heck, I talk to myself (and occasionally insult myself) even more when under pressure.
I talk to myself more than I talk to everyone else in my life put together.
I thought the same thing about Luke having the name Skywalker. I thought why couldn't the massively powerful empire with it's two master Sith find a kid with the same last name as one off those master Sith? You're telling me a planet basically ruled by the Huts wouldn't find that name interesting and see some information they could sell? What was Obi Wan thinking letting Luke keep that name? At least the family that got Leah had the brains to change her damn name but then again if you think about it the very act of adopting Leah and hiding her brought about the destruction of their world decades later.
I've never seen anyone try so hard to not be funny.
+ShaneKarma376 He was trying hard to not be funny? That's a weird thing to do for a comedy channel.
+jd korejko 9/11 was funnier than him.
This list was weak as fuck.
+Roronoa D Vegeta Lots of those "plot holes"... aren't.
You could explain the Star Wars thing by saying that Vader knew exactly where Luke and Obi Wan were all that time, but left them alone (and kept it from Palpatine, somehow) because he was biding his time. He wanted to bring Luke in on his plan to overthrow Palpatine and "rule the galaxy as father and son", but he couldn't exactly just show up at the farm and say "Hey kid, I'm your dad, wanna be the evil crown prince of the universe?" That'd be showing his hand too early.
So instead, he waited. He knew Obi Wan would eventually get off his lumps and start training the kid (though why the lazy old bastard didn't start training him years earlier has a big question mark over it) and once Luke was well into his Jedi training and Obi Wan was out of the picture, Vader could approach him mid-duel and make him an offer. He came on a bit strong, obviously, and seriously miscalculated Luke's reaction. And even though he'd disposed of Obi Wan (kinda) he presumably didn't know Yoda was still around to act as a positive influence. But hey, nobody's saying it was a perfect plan. His own path to the Dark Side shows how impulsive and short-sighted he is (not to mention a terrible judge of character) so it's kind of impressive the scheme even got to that stage.
I'm not saying that's what Lucas had in mind when he wrote the damn thing (of course he didn't, he had Luke snogging his twin sister in the same movie) but if you want the story to make sense that... _kind_ of... works? Almost?
No, the entire PREQUEL TRILOGY doesn't make sense:
-The prequel trilogy should have established that Anakin did NOT have the surname "Skywalker". That Luke got the Skywalker name from Uncle Owen who otherwise had zero connection with Vader/Anakin.
-Ditto for Ben "Kenobi" only my only hope is that Kenobi is a common name like "Smith" or simply that only Princess Leia and the resistance know that character by the Kenobi name, when Anakin and Obi Wan were friends, Obi Wan didn't have that surname.
-Anakin's origins should not have been put on the same planet as Lucas knew Luke would later be hiding on.
FYI: the only reason Leia's ship was heading to Tattoine was to get help from Obi Wan, who was on that planet to keep an eye on Luke.
Except that in episode 5, The Emporer refers that luke is the son of "Annikan Skywalker", Also in ep 4, Ben says that his original name was obi-wan kenobi.
Max Schneider No, I checked the script. The emperor only says "Luke Skywalker" this is the first time the series has Vader acknowledge Luke's existence.
Who knows how far back he was referring, maybe back to before he was on Tatooine but after the split with Anakin/Vader.
Treblaine I literally just watched the original cut of that scene and he says and I quote "The Son of Skywalker". In the DVD re-release he says "The Son of Anikkan Skywalker". Either way they mean the same thing.
Max Schneider Ohh, I did a Ctrl+F search for "Anakin" of the ORIGINAL script.
Yeah, I am straight up not considering the special-edition edits. They don't make sense and needlessly add contradictions.
As to the "son of skywalker" that is the beginning of the new Imperial plot, Luke Skywalker comes into their sites as it cannot be hidden that Luke is the hero of the Rebellion in blowing up the Death Star. Also that he is friends with Han Solo so the Empire would benefit from taking Han hostage to lure Luke out.
Looking back, it seems Vader is in a curious state of denial about his past. The gloats of "being the student and now the master" yet also rejects violently being called Anakin Skywalker by Luke.
But you are right, It's clear when Emperor says "The Son of Skywalker" that Vader knew he at one point knew he was known as Skywalker.
So that leaves a huge plot hole. The "secret heir" happens to have the surname of the big bad.
The only rationalisation I can think is that Uncle Owen really is a relative of Anakin Skywalker and so insists on taking in his nephew.
But whoops. Uncle Owen having the same surname as Anakin Skywalker, so the "secret identity" HAS to have the surname Skywalker otherwise it would draw attention. Uncle Owen only got the surname Lars in the Prequel Trilogy.
Vader could easily overlook that is long estranged brother or half-brother has a son at the same age his offspring disappeared under some circumstances.
The little wrinkle is that Uncle Owen makes clear that he is Luke's uncle, not his father, Luke refers to Owen as his Uncle. Maybe the plan was that Uncle Owen was supposed to pretend to be Luke's biological father but later he felt he should be as honest as he can.
That could foil the hidden identity plot but the empire infrastructure doesn't know of Vader's past, Vader would have to personally check up on Owen's family to put two and two together.
Luke blowing up a death star and getting an award ceremony drew that attention. hence the plot of Empire Strikes Back.
I think a back story is missing where Uncle Owen becomes disaffected with the Rebellion as only making things worse, hence all his comments trying to temper Luke, get him to lead a normal peaceful life and opposing him joining any rebellion.
Perhaps Uncle Owen had a huge falling out with Obi Wan and forbade him leading Luke astray.
This would also explain how Luke known obi-wan by the terrible secret identity of "Old Ben Kenobi" as Uncle Owen carelessly refers to Obi Wan by his real name with the nickname beginning "Ben".
Maybe when Kenobi goes to town to get milk or something he is known by a much more convincing secret identity.
Other things can be hand waved. Like Greedo is only known as Greedo because that's what people speaking common call him, his real alien name is unpronounceable and since most people think he's greedy they call him "Greedo". And Greedo don't give a fuck so he accepts the name to be known by.
Same thing happened with "Blondie" in 'The Good the Bad and the Ugly' if you don't give yourself a pronounceable name someone else will give you one.
They could have gotten away with a lot of the problems with not having Tattooine in the prequels. There was no need for it...just use another planet, don't have Anakin be the creator of C3PO, forget the virgin birth, and have Amidala live to the end of the 3rd film, with her separated from Luke, but keeping Leia (because twins would be easier to track down).
If you look right behind the T-Rex, you'll notice a giant T-Rex sized portion of the wall missing.
Jurassic Park was still under construction so the building was not finished being build, that whole is a portion of unfinished wall. You can also see a ripped sheet that was supposed to cover the whole (Which T-Rex can handle a simple sheet) that T-Rex broke. Pretty simple if you just look behind him.
This man literally makes me laugh out loud with his videos 😂
"How did the T-rex get in the building" he says as a shot showing a T-rex sized hole plays behind him
I really enjoy 3/4 of the videos on Cracked. Clever commentary and observations hiding behind toilet humor? I could swear I've seen that on a show somewhere. But occasionally, the seemingly intentional ignorance used to "prove" a point gets a bit annoying.
Gruber making a snide remark that basically amounts to, "You know what assuming does".
The Joker having contingency plans is different from him being prescient. It's called a Xanatos Gambit. It's a thing. TV Tropes is a good place to read up on it.
Sixth Sense: Remember the part where the kid says "I see dead people"? What follows that? Oh, yeah: "They don't know they're dead". It's the same reason that Willis's character doesn't see his wound the whole movie. He's in denial to a supernatural degree.
Oh, yeah. Most of the problems the Vader reveal has are a result of the prequels, which is one of their lesser evils, honestly.
The time of day issues is forgivable in most cases because you should expect a movie to follow a time line literally. You mentally gloss of issues (like the King Kong sunrise) as simply a unexpressed time lapse. However, showing a simultaneous sunrise in New York as in Kenya is just sloppy.
Well all they did was show a sunrise all over in succession of each other; it's never implied to be happening simultaneously unless we are to believe that taking down Area 51s City Destroyer also obliterated the others in various parts across America 🇺🇸 as well as others across tha planet|
In the Sixth Sense, the little boy says ghosts see what they want to see. So Bruce Willis' character must've believed he'd been having a conversation with Cole's mother.
Your delivery is on point. Truly hilarious. Props to you and the Cracked writers. MAKE MORE SPIT TAKE!
Pretending to be terrorists was not stupid at all...
Pretending to be terrorists is the reason the FBI shows up, the FBI turned off the power, turning off the power is what enabled them to unlock the vault. Pretending to be terrorists was an essential part of the plan.
The mugger/rapist analogy is absurd.
The point was that being Hanz's plan hinged on everyone thinking they were terrorists, so it made no sense for Hanz to laugh and ask "who said we were terrorist?" You did, Hanz. YOU said you were terrorists.
well i dont remember him telling anybody they were terrorist. Im pretty sure he was gonna kill Takage anyway thats why he told him what was up.
DrNickRiveria Well, he didn't tell anyone at that point. But later in the movie when negotiating with the FBI, he mentioned that one of his demands was to have his "brothers freed." Something to that effect. When one of the his men looked at him with a "wtf? Who are they?" look on his face, Hanz covered the phone saying that he read about the terrorist group that he told the FBI he wanted set free in Time Magazine.
Johnny Goodfellow you're absurd, you mountebank
can't unsee the neckbeard
Why would Vader give any thought to the shithole planet he grew up in ? The only thing he has there is painful memories of his mother, I think he'd stay as far away from there as possible.
Also, he didn't like sand :).
Bexebeche Yeah, his breathing apparatus would have clogged with it. :D
Actually, that whole plothole didn't even exist until the prequels. It's never revealed that that was Darth Vader's homeworld in the original trilogy, however then when the Phantom Menace was written that's when the plothole was developed.
TwilitPrince88 It kinda is. Luke's aunt and uncle clearly said that they knew Anakin. So even if he didn't live here, which he probably did, he at least was well aquainted with the place.
Anyway, still not a plot hole =/
TwilitPrince88
Technically, no matter of the way the first episodes were executed on film, Lucas wanted to do them first, and although they did have revamps, the first trilogy was written by them time they started to do the New Hope. One such revamp, if you look at Mark Hamill's audition for the role was, that in the early draft Leia Organa was a known force user
wait...4 Plot holes, video has 4 likes ....Half Life 4 confirmed! (They skipped 3)
Stephen Terry
You're a master :O
I am surprised that even Cracked doesn't understand the concept of "plot hole". They seem to use the standard, yet incorrect, "implausibility" definition as opposed to what it is supposed to mean, which is something in the plot that is contradicted by something else in the plot.
+Jeremy Kreis ok grammar nazi? who gives a fuck.
+Nuno Anjos there it is again, grammar nazi. You sure don't know what a fucking grammar nazi is.
+Jackson de Wit He's just jealous of people that are able to articulate their thoughts in a concise and coherent manner.
"yew talke smrat.fukk uou!"
theotheroneification more like people (nerds) who nitpick about things nobody gives a fuck about.
+Nuno Anjos That's not what a grammar nazi is.
Who really gives a shit about plot holes, as long as you enjoy the movie??
well the first two.., 4. time discrepancies 3. peek-a-boo physics ... aren't really plot holes at all... the other two are kind of grasping at straws with the examples they used... everything makes sense when you're looking at a story from an almost omniscient pov...
he literally said that at the end of the video
In the Joker's defense it's never said that he planned everything out beforehand. In fact his motives change halfway through the film. Presumably he just set up a bunch of things that he thought would be useful (bombs in the hospital, a bunch of guns, some loyal minions) and did whatever he though would work.
I feel like our brains work differently because in my group of friends, we all pick up on this shit and say wtf. Did you also notice that in Frozen, it's glossed over that the older sister, on top of controlling ice can CREATE LIFE OUT OF INANIMATE OBJECTS
There are tons of things wrong with frozen.
Everything Wrong With Frozen - CinemaSins
She creates snow creatures. Not life from inanimate objects. And that is part of her powers...what's to question? Its a fantasy princess fairytale.
TECfan1 no, she controls ice, she doesn't make life out of snow
Klerik AU She did. Omar? Oscar? Whatever his name was...
Darth Vader had no idea Luke or Leia were even alive, and he also didn't know where Obi-wan Kenobi was.
Looking exclusively at the ending of Revenge of the Sith, he knew Kenobi was still alive, having left him for dead on Mustafar...So, what, during the 18 or so years between movies he forgets about Obi-wan and doesn't look for him? Both he and Palpatine knew their respective nemesis in the climax survived so wouldn't that be the first thing they would want to do while the Death Star was taking all that time to be constructed?
They didn't look for Obi-wan because he was no longer a threat. He didn't attack any imperial targets after Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader, and they did send stormtroopers to occupy every planet within their reach, so they probably figured they would find him and either kill him or report him to vader. Either that or they didn't look because they didn't want to expose themselves to rebel assassins, and they knew Obi-wan would want to return to the Death Star eventually to overthrow the empire with a new apprentice.
RobotCow2000 Actually, yeah they did look for him. The Empire promised a huge bounty for any Jedi brought in dead or alive. And a staggering amount for Yoda, if you could prove it was him. (they had a lot of idiots dressing shit up as Yoda).
- Anakin HATES the place. He has wanted to get away from that planet forever. Why would Vader go back? He does not know nor does he care about any relatives. He has only ever loved his mother and Padme and both are dead.
Thinking purely logically, Yoda is the greatest Jedi trainer of his era, and Obi-wan is still young and energetic. Why would those two give up and not do anything about the empire? It's not like force sensitives are going away, more kids get born... Therefore these two Jedi would be training apprentices, and re-emerge like the way the Sith did. Although this isn't what happened, Palpatine and Vader HAVE to assume this would be Kenobi and Yoda's plan of action, and then they would push to have them killed. The fact that the Jedi live peacefully and leave Luke alone for 18 years is shocking, as the two Jedi have a golden opportunity to recreate the Jedi immediately after the purge. Instead they sit on their asses for two decades with Yoda living on the swamp planet and Kenobi living on the literal biggest pile of sand in the WHOLE GALAXY. Idc if you have a Jedi's patience, that's just boring.
TwilitPrince88 And they did. As I just stated above. The Empire dedicated a considerable amount of resources to track down and kill any and all Jedi. Jedi are hunted everywhere. So yes it was semi stupid to not teach Luke sooner. But maybe it was due to him being so god damn powerful. Maybe Obi-wan was afraid of Vader or the Emperor sensing him or Luke through the Force. Or maybe Obi-wan was just terrified of making another Vader. So he put the task off as long as he could.
The "hole" in SIXTH SENSE is answered in the film--namely, that the dead don't know they're dead and see what they want to see. In other words, industrial strength myopia. And in THE USUAL SUSPECTS Kaiser Soze is a very weird, even psychotic genius who killed someone who was a *witness* to him committing major *felonies* not what he looks like. And in KING KONG, there is the question of telescoped time, i.e. events took longer than you actually experience on film. Lots of other ones are excellent points, though. Good work! Mostly.
This was a bit of an eye opener. I caught more than half of those tricks (of the movies i've seen), and regularly analyze the plot of any movie i'm watching, and I am constantly finding things like this. I never though about starwars or the "magic tunnels" in batman that change the time, but several others including the joker's ridiculous plan and james bond popped out at me.
Pretty sure The Sixth Sense actually works out really well, with the whole 'ghosts see what they want to see' thing. Signs would've been a better example of a Shyamalan 'twist' that ended up with more holes than a sieve.
the t rex in Jurassic park comes through the gigantic hole behind it
Not actually large enough without the T-Rex falling down the door/hole is 3 meters 4m tall at the very most a T-Rex is what 6 to 7 meters tall?
Wait, it takes nearly 10 minutes to point out 4 plot holes? Very minimalist.
i always imagined that the T-rex got in because the building wasnt finished ( i mean it had big platic sheets all over the place covering open walls and stuff right)
oldnotweak That is indeed how he got in. You and I, as well as countless other viewers, were paying more attention to the movie than the people at Cracked. There is a very clear shot at the end where you can see the tail of the T-Rex still underneath the plastic tarp, plus there also is a clear scene of a raptor coming in through the very same tarp.
The funny dudes rap at the end worked. I subscribed.
Most of these are continuity errors - not plot holes.
I'll bet you think your the smartest guy in the coffee shop. Your kind of all over the map, here. I couldn't finish watching it.
The kid in the 6th sense explains that ghost does not notice that nobody really talks to them, kind of the way when you are in a dream and you never noticed how you got to the place you are in. (Like the street café in Inception). And also ghosts seeks out the boy without realising it themself because he is a medium. So it actually makes sense.
But an entertaining episode and the midday to night thing happens alot and it always cracks me up.
OMG this was fun and smart. I love this channel!
To be fair, I'm pretty sure Vader thought Luke and Obi-Wan were dead. I also highly doubt he would've hired a private investigator to track down his son and mentor who may or may not have been dead for 20 years.
I think the biggest mistake was handing Luke over to his aunt and uncle as a baby. Tatooine's a remote, desolate planet. Easy to disappear there. Of course, I'm not certain at the time those films were written that Lucas had already decided Vader would have already MET Owen and Beru and known where they lived. It's only REALLY a plot whole when you throw in the prequel trilogy.
... So the part in Episode 4 where Palpatine says "the son of Anakin Skywalker" wasn't enough of a clue?
Palpatine is in A New Hope? I thought he didn't appear until Empire Strikes Back?
What reasons did Vader have for believing Obi-wan was dead? Kenobi left Anakin on Mustafar, and if he didn't hear any reports from anybody killing him to jump to the conclusion that he is dead. So by deductive reasoning Kenobi would still be alive.
TwilitPrince88 Well, they might've known, but they probably dismissed it as a non-issue out of hubris. He was probably counted as deceased on the Imperial records at least.
And I summon... CinemaSins, or that annoying friend that derails a movie to talk about how they just can't suspend their disbelief that far
I'm going to deduct 1 sin cause your comment was spot on!!
Well, at least for the "I am your father" line, only Lucas knew about that through that movie. The actors had practiced with different liens and dialogue for that scene, because Lucas didn't want to risk the twist getting leaked before the movie was released. He told the darth Voice guy the real line right before they shot the epscene, so Mark hamell's reaction is not scripted.
*****
Wrong. Mark Hamill was told the real line just before they shot it. David Prowse (guy in the Vader suit) did say that Obi-wan killed his father but Hamill knew what the real line would be an acted that Vader had just told him he was his father.
i can actually explain the jurassic park 'plot hole': when they run out and in a couple of other shots you can see that there is just a tarp that is ripped and you can see the outside; suggesting the trex had heard the commotion and was stalking (so taking light steps). Go to 3:25 and pause, you can see where it walked (or stalked) through
Our sensory perception is terribly imperfect. When we're presented with a situation that demands our full attention, like Raptors attacking, then any sight or sound that doesn't relate directly to our motive, in this case surviving the raptors, is filtered out as useless. It's the same reason that car that t-boned you because he was running a red light and your light just turned green also "came out of nowhere".
+CommanderCorner Yeah, right -- you're looking around, trying to find some way to escape, & you somehow just manage to miss the 15ft-tall, 7-ton behemoth tromping around the room -- ridiculous...
+Reuter Atwork Try actually researching the phenomenon before making ignorant comments.
+CommanderCorner Still ridiculous -- deal w/ it...
+Amian Ignatius Anecdotal evidence doesn't trump scientific evidence. Not to mention you were undoubtedly concentrated on all of your cattle. The situation isn't at all the same. You're referring to a controlled situation where all of the pieces are accounted for from beginning to end. I doubt highly that if a semi suddenly came barreling through the area you wouldn't be caught off guard.
CommanderCorner Dude, just give it up -- the idea is simply ridiculous -- because not only did not one of the humans in the scene notice the gigantic creature lumbering into the room, but the apex-predator 'raptors didn't notice it either -- I suppose you're going to say that they were so focused on their prey that they didn't pay any attention to the monstrous t rex RIGHT BEHIND THEIR PREY? Absurd -- the scene is clearly bogus, a Hollywood construct simply designed to create a dramatic moment, that has no basis in reality -- & your lame attempts to cobble together some sort of justification for it are getting embarrassing -- try for a little dignity, eh?
ACTUALLY THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND, ALL LITERALLY DISAPPEAR AND REAPPEAR EACH TIME YOU OPEN AND CLOSE YOUR EYES. ASK ANY QUANTUM PHYSICIST ABOUT THE MEASUREMENT PROBLEM.
The "Electron double-slit experiment" is scientific evidence that loosely supports your valid conjecture.
Wave or particle? Depends if anyone is looking.
+Generic Internetter MY POINT EXACTLY
No it doesn't, that's not how it works, you don't understand how quantum physics works, either take a class on the subject, or stop talking about it.
IF I AM IN ERROR THEN PLEASE ADVICE AND CORRECT WITH AN EXPLANATION.
+ALBERT EINSTEIN Quantum mechanics talks about "measurement" not "observation". Even if you close your eyes, the wave function still collapses if a sensor detects the particle.
The double-slit experiment is a perfect example of this: What makes the wave function collide in the double-slit experiment is the presence of a sensor in one of the slits, not the scientist looking. If the scientist walks out of the room, and doesn't look, the experiment still works. It gives out the exact same result even if done inside a perfectly sealed box.
Also, Albert Einstein denied quantum mechanics to the day he died, so...
This may be the best argument/video I've ever seen.
Fææææk ! The rap in the end was DEFINITELY the best thing in this video ahauaauhauh !!!!
Vader does actually mean father in Dutch... Darth is however a made up moniker. Get your languages right.
Vader didn't know Luke existed before they've seen each other on Deathstar.Paltine told him that he killed Padme, so why would he assume that kids survived? After droids landed on Tatooine and storm troopers killed Luke's relatives, and seeing this random rebel pilot destroying Deathstar with impossible shot he probably started reaserch and then realised who Luke was. By then, unfortunately, Luke was with rebels and Vader needed to find him. Why wouldn't he check on Tatooine all this years? Why would he? There were no active rebels/jedis there, and it's not like he's gonna visit. Even if Palpatine knew about Luke and Leia(doubtful), he still wouldn't risk giving Vader an apprentice,
Yeah, but you have to agree Obi-wan could make up some better nickname than Ben Kenobi. Unless Kenobi is like Smith in Star Wars universe. Or stewjonian names are like japanese - first name is last and last name is first :).
How did Luke and Leia end up on completely different planets and how did Leia become a princess?
Katherine Sanderson See EIII Revenge of the Sith maybe?
Yes but the stuff your saying is from a prequel which, is used to explain things about the story that comes after that might not have made sense.
this is such a relief as a writer, I can just make up plot as I go and I'm in good company
looool. Love your rhetoric man, especially about star wars.
Trust me, I was friggin' 6 years old watching Jurassic Park and I wanted to know from my parents where the T-Rex came from.
Hell, it was totally badass and remains one of my all time favorite moments in movie history, but no. It doesn't make any sense at all.
I'm surprised he brought up Cloverfield when the ultimate WTF moment is that in the first American Zilla movie the damn thing could disappear, dive into the Hudson River, and hollow out Madison Square Garden without ANYONE realizing it. Such a stupid movie...
ye but the difference is Zilla is a movie most people dont like. This was showing script problems from films that most people do like
I trust you.
I think as a predator, the t-rex should be able to sneak up on people.
I think it's actually weirder that it stomps around when it's been caged up until that point.
+Juil Yes ^ this. I know there were a lot of giant food sources back then, but how the hell did the T-rex exist as a predator if it's making more noise with every movement than an old steam locomotive. Predators of toady such as lions, gepards and tigers are silent as fuck, until they explode in a flurry of speed. Did the T-Rex just keep running until something slow or deaf as fuck came along?
you realize that when you say hello "the" internet you ironically isolate yourself from us
A cool detail that could've been added in Jurassic Park would be very subtly adding in the sound and vibration of the t-rex being played throughout the bit with the raptors. It gets ever so slightly louder as the scene progresses. During the first viewing, the viewer would wonder what that even was, or if it was happening at all. Then the payoff: the noises become incredibly loud and are accompanied by that now famous roar. Somehow adding in another shot with a cup of water, a puddle, or something else of that nature just before the t-Rex appears would also be pretty cool
Not following the Star Wars one at all. So okay, Luke was living with Vaders real last name, but so what? I'm pretty sure common folk have no idea about Vader's real name anyway and Vader himself had no idea that someone named Skywalker was living on Tattooine for the exact number of years that have passed since he turned Sith. Nor did he care much, I don't think.
+White People I didn't follow it either. I am not a big Star Wars buff nor do I watch it over and over. In the years I've watched all 3 of the originals a total of about 4 times each. Return of the Jedi I admittedly watched more due to Luke looking so goddamn cool in the black.
But just like on Earth the whole name thing can be explained by saying he is not the only person with that last name. The shame of what Vader became can explain his family never acknowledging they knew or anything since their prime interest was to raise Luke differently with different influences. Obi Wan wanted to remain close to influence Luke at the right age so he would be there at the right time and mold him into a much better person. Same idea as if someone else named with the last name Hitler decided to change their name. It would be because of the blemish his actions put on the name itself.
George Lucas just relied heavily on people being able to build their own assumptions without dictating them to them. He wanted you to build your own conclusions of what role all the characters played. I guess the tool in the video above needs people to explain movies plots to him and just proves he just isn't smart enough to be telling anyone about plot holes. Especially when the whole Batman day to night thing is NOT a plot hole but rather known as a "blooper" and the director should have reshot and the blooper end up on the gag reel of the movie rather than the main movie.
But yeah that Star Wars shit made absolutely no sense at all.
+Logan B There are some key things missing though:
I don't believe Obi-Wan knew Anakin had survived when he and Yoda they made the decision to exile themselves. He left him for dead with life-ending injuries. They were protecting Luke and Leia from Palpatine who didn't know of their existence.
Obi-Wan cut himself off from the Galaxy and didn't run into Vader again until 19 years later. Remember that Anakin called himself Vader before he got in the suit. It's possible that it was many years before Obi-Wan learned Vader survived.
Additionally, Vader had no reason to believe he had any kids. Palptatine told him he killed Padme. Admittedly they got lucky with that, but again, Obi-Wan didn't know for certain that Vader had survived Mustafar.
It wasn't until Vader learned that it was Luke Skywalker that ended the Death Star that he focused all his efforts on finding him.
+White People That was just another part of the prequel trilogy that didn't match up with the original trilogy. In the original trilogy it aunt Beru and uncle Owen weren't related to Luke, he just thought they were and Ben Kenobi was living off the grid. He was also hidden in the ass end of nowhere (Tattooine). Lucas changed that for the prequels along with many other things (like Leia having memories of living with their mother). The prequels and the original trilogy don't match up continuity wise.
Nimz *Technically*, and this is a BIG technically, Leia's memories were "Just images really, feelings" then described her as very beauitiful, kind, but...sad.
She was born, and did see her mother when she was born. If she remembered her last words, Padme told Obi-Wan there was still good in Anakin which would denote kindness and she was sad at the time.
That *would* actually account for every memory Leia mentioned of her real mother.
I'm not defending Lucas' bad writing, but from a strictly "court of law" point of view, it does add up, in the most minimal way possible. :P
+White People Didn't Vader himself stay there during that time his mother was held prisoner? Obi Wan dropped the kid there after he thought Vader was dead and let them name him Skywalker... probably the first place Vader would have looked!
Didn't you notice the huge, giant, gaping whole in the wall RIGHT BEHIND THE T-REX?
i took a closer look and it seems to be more like a display than a hole to me. Like the other plants painted around the room. i could be mistaken though.
You are mistaken
Watch the clip, and then watch the movie. There is a huge hole in the doorway. You can see it through the entire scene, and especially right behind the T-Rex in the scene in this clip.
If that were true, everybody (including the raptors, these ones more than anybody else) would notice the smashing of the wall, or even if there were a hole before (like in 3:25) you would hear a 3 to 5 tons animal coming, especially the raptors, and it looks like they didn't notice anything, or didn't give a fuck. Weird.
Come on guys!, it's not the first time that Spielberg makes brutal plot holes in his movies, and he doesn't give a shit because he know that plenty of people won't notice/wont' give a shit either.
@@DanRyzESPUK To be fair, if I was being chased by a raptor, the last thing I'd do is stop and pay attention to any tiny earthquakes. Add that to the fact that T Rex partially had to sneak up on some pray, and it makes sense why you'd miss it.
Hello from 2021
@ 6:09 Terrrorist > Theif ? Okay, I'll bite. What's a THEIF?
Nobody EVER talks about how old those dinosaurs had to be!!
you showed another plothole in your video and didn't mention it. the statue of liberty is way out on an island. that creature neither possesses the ability nor the inclination to carry that giant head to central park.
Obi-Wan chose tattooine because it wasn't advanced and had no identification tracking
+diana kittley Also because it is owned and controlled by the Hutts (See Jabba for reference), a black-market / space-mafia type race that is both independant of the Empire and very powerful. Plus Vader fucking hates that planet. It would probably be his first choice for Death Star destruction if he was the one in charge of it. Alderaan was chosen because they had been a thorn in Palpatines side. Plus the Emperor wanted to be a dick
I subscribed. You are really funny.
Watch Titanic in reverse and it becomes a heartwarming story of a sunken ship rising up, collecting zombies who then go on to play poker in Southampton.
T-Rexmachina.
Very good!
RosieSquall clever
you the real mvp
Nice :) Puns are lame, but this one is the correct pun at the correct time. I'm surprised Cracked missed/skipped it.
Jamie Den Adel Thanks, good sir :)

holy shit that end scene omg, alright, I'm subscribed now
In MEET THE FOCKERS, when Greg and Jack are still driving to Greg's Parents, Greg brings up the "changing of the wedding date" conversation.......... BUT he has no reason to change the wedding date BECAUSE ----> Greg doesn't have the Pam is Preggo news UNTIL AFTER they get to the Fockers' house!!!!!
I was enjoying this immensely until I reached The Sixth Sense. That and the following supposed Star Wars saga plot hole of yours are mistaken. SPOILERS -- The movie says dead people don't know they are dead. That naturally implies a capacity for psychological self-delusion. All the things you mention he either repressed notice of within himself or constructed false memories to justify. He's haunting the kid, mostly out of good intent, partly because he can, like all the other lonely, cut-off spirits... deep down he knows that no one asked him to get involved, but on that level he also knows that no one cares about his manners anymore.
***** Yes, him as a ghost can't even see there a table in front of the door with a red handle until he got aware he is a ghost
You talk way to much
" A trick we stopped falling for before we mastered the ability to not poop and pee all over ourselves, outside of any drug experiments that got away from you." Hilarious writing.
How did the tyrannosaurus get into the visitor center? Oh I dunno, how about that huge hole in the plastic sheeting just behind it? Some of the park was still under construction, you know.
Darth Vader's plot twist makes sense, but you need to watch the prequels to understand it. Anakin hates sand and Tatooine, so the best place to hide from him is in the one place he despises, Tatooine, because he'd never go there.
My God, 9 minutes of rambling. This could have been done in 3 minutes tops.
David Gange do you have somewhere you need to be? My god, you kids these days
I just found this channel and this was the first video I watched on it but... well,..... that dude's going to have to keep rapping bc I'm not going too subscribe until I find a couple of videos that r worth my time.
I’ve seen too much CinemaSins to miss these plot holes *ding*
"Sheds Doberman, pincher-sized spider babies like a hailstorm."
COMMON! Mistakes in movies can always be seen. Like somebody jumps in the water and is dry all of a sudden the next scene. Or a guy gets shot and walks around the next scene like nothing ever happened. Such as Die Hard, does a cop always carry around 30 magazines like he's off to fight a war? My favourite one is when people run away from a speeding car and keep running strait on the road.
I think there is a reason why they are called movies... because everything in it is not based on reality... but based on sensation.
I do like how he proceeds to ask how the T-rex got in the room while at the exact same time showing on screen an angle that shows that the large plastic sheeting just large enough for a T-rex to fit through leads outside... is that part of the plot hole segment? asking seemingly unknowable questions while inadvertently answering it with the clip you used?
i am serious you would be a great actor,you have great talk and understandable for a change
Okay, here's the thing about The sixth sense: We're used to seeing cuts in movies. Someone gets up in the morning, cut, he's a work, cut, it's lunchtime, cut, he's at home, cut, it's the next day... We automatically assume that his life went on normally while we didn't see it. We don't wonder about a movie character never eating, or showering or washing the dishes or doing their make-up. BUT for the ghosts in the sixth sense being able not to know that they're dead, there MUST be some sort of amnesia or memory holes for them. What if, now, being a ghost is more like dreaming? like in Inception or something. When you're in a dream you never wonder how you got where you are, you know what you're up to, what you're supposed to be doing and you never ask yourself why or how or when. What if, whenever we saw a cut, there was an actual cut for him too. He wasn't doing anything during that time. He did know that he was supposed to help the boy, and he didn't know how he knew, but he didn't ask himself that either.
Arguably, Fight Club is the most well known twist ending of the past two decades but that isn't in here because that makes sense.
I didn't like Fight Club tbh.
Oh I never noticed most of these you got me there.
What I took away from this video is this quote, "Just the right kind of stupid."
"the only thing that matters is that they're the right kind of stupid" -- great line. Applies to quite a bit in life.
The T-Rex was plausible. He can lean far forward, he just slipped through the door hidden by opaque plastic sheets.
This video was enlightening. After watching this I realized that my brain actually registered some of these plot inconsistencies as I watched them happen (namely the Dark Knight, Skyfall, and Cloverfield ones) but the movies were so engrossing that I willingly ignored them. Like you said, the right kind of stupid makes viewers very amenable to (at times) convoluted writing!
The glass of water intro/outro joke. I see what you did there...
Clever.
*THANK YOU*
i always thought the darth vader reveal didn't make any sense unless everything that came before was completely ignored
I used to spend time dissecting movies and games until I realized that people don't watch a movie or play a game because it makes sense, people watch/play them because they occupy their time while they have nothing better to do. It's a good way to pass time and enjoy it.
Darth Vader has never said "Luke, I am your father". He does say "No, I am your father".
