Suggested correction: We don't see what actually happened to Pinocchio at the end, so maybe he didn't drown at all or even just passed out.

It was the impact of Monstro hitting Pinocchio against the cliff face that killed him. He didn't drown.

The Grapes of Wrath picture

Plot hole: The deputies take down or compare the license plate number of the truck and say they'll be back with a warrant. A warrant for who? After Tom got clubbed, and they left Tavaris they had the truck stopped right there cleared them, and they left. So for no other reason but to close the movie would deputies just stumble upon a truck that's already been cleared proclaiming they would be back with a warrant. It makes no sense. (01:54:00)

My Favorite Wife picture

Plot hole: The entire shoe store scene is a mistake. If she truly had larger feet, then she would not have had any shoes in the trunk at home that would fit her, and she would have had to go to the shoe store barefoot...at which point she would have known her shoe size had got larger, and the salesman would not have had to tell her.
