Hatched picture

Stupidity: Simon has told his wife Christine to never go into his shed/lab where he has dinosaurs chained. Christine is looking for her son Mark. Instead of searching the house (and finding Mark in his bedroom) or asking Simon to check the shed, Christine goes into the shed and is killed by a raptor. (00:02:30 - 00:04:58)

Cosmic Sin picture

Stupidity: The "body armor" General Ford and others wear is very bulky and appears to be quite heavy with all the attachments (e.g, flashlights on shoulders). With the protective suit protruding perhaps 8", it would most likely restrict/slow movement, contrary to what soldiers need. Moreover, the body may be protected, but there's no protection for the face/head, leaving them exposed/vulnerable. Today's products tend to be lighter, thinner, and stronger, so would be expected in the future.

The Tiger Mask picture

Stupidity: Naoto could have easily prevented his friend being crippled by their rival if just he put his superpower mask on, which he had with him all the time and tries to use only at the very end after Jo has been torturing Dan for a long time.

Jurassic World Dominion picture

Stupidity: When the plane begins crashing, Kayla tells Claire that she is sitting in an ejector seat. She also mentions that there are no parachutes because she "wasn't expecting company." If Kayla was expecting to be alone in a crash scenario, what use would installing the ejector seat in one of the passenger seats have been? She would have to move from the pilot seat to the passenger seat while the plan is crashing. Surely it would've been easier to install the ejector seat in the pilot seat.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves picture

Stupidity: The "keep everyone in the stadium" plan is foiled when gold is scattered around the outside and everyone leaves. The bad guys didn't consider locking the doors? Not least because once the terrifying sky tendrils descend and boiling red clouds start filling the arena, surely people would have started bolting for the wide open exits.

The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone picture

Stupidity: Billy and Allie saw there were several men in the area also searching for the medallion and the kids even hid from the men minutes before finding the medallion. Instead of quickly sneaking away after they found the medallion, Billy and Allie stayed in the same spot and Billy shouted, "We found it! We found it!" Seconds later, two men came from behind the tree. (00:24:00 - 00:24:21)

Jurassic Shark 2: Aquapocalypse picture

Stupidity: Two oil rig workers were looking at two young ladies in bikinis who were sunning themselves on a boat/yacht. One oil rig worker said, "That's where we should be right now. With them, enjoying the sun, instead of baking in it." Both men had double layers on - a jacket or sweater over a jersey or T-shirt - and one man was wearing a tossel cap. Even if it gets cold on the rigs at night, they did not need to be dressed in warm attire during the sunny daylight hours. (00:10:35)

Stupidity: Sheila has an obvious foreign (non-English) accent. After she left the "Dive Center", Lek got on the phone and said, "Yeah, there was an American girl here..." (00:33:55)

Monsters of War picture

Stupidity: It was announced on the radio "to stay inside your homes and to only leave in a state of absolute emergency." Then the house shook from an earthquake. May's mom (Gran) called and said, "I'm not sure you should come right now... the roads aren't safe" and "it's not safe to be driving around out there, especially with the kids." May, who told her mom she had the trip planned, finished packing and said, "Kids, we're leaving." Before driving very far, a "monster" was near her car. (00:01:33 - 00:03:47)

Jurassic Domination picture

Stupidity: Grace (?) came out of hiding holding a fire extinguisher upside-down as though prepared to use the fire extinguisher to whack any Allosaurus that approached her. Actually spraying the dinosaur's eyes with the chemical contents of the fire extinguisher - and from a greater distance by using the hose - would have been much more practical and effective as a repellent and thereby less likely to result in getting maimed/killed. (She did not use the fire extinguisher at all). (01:02:20)

The Marvels picture

Stupidity: The heroines guess the plan of the villain with a thought process that can only be explained by the fact that they read the movie script. There is no way for them to surmise that the attack on the Skrull base, perpetrated under subterfuge, was intended to "syphon away the atmosphere", and not just the usage of a really powerful weapon. Even assuming that Kamala's objection to this particular point ("they could have just invaded or used a bomb") is a logical explanation that would disqualify without a second thought the fact that a Kree warlord would use a terrifying and cost-free weapon that is also a symbol of Kree's culture just for its power, and so that it makes sense that the heroines just instantly commit to an alternative theory, there's still a leap of logic in assuming the exact next step for the Kree's quest on revitalizing their homeland (which incidentally involves randomly dumping out of the blue a gigantic quantity of salt water on a densely populated planet).

Ghoster picture

Stupidity: Despite not knowing who 7-year-old William is or where he comes from, Mr. Alessi accepts that William is the "rightful heir and owner of Echoville Manor" and does not question the authenticity of the handful of diamonds William gives him to settle James' debts. (01:26:02)

Legacy Peak picture

Stupidity: There is a map of the area on the wall behind Jason as he tells Sam and Ben to "look for anything useful - maps, food, radios, anything." Also, there is a map in the drawer as Sam opens it, but she removes the notice letter "shuttered for budget cuts" and the snowmobile keys. (00:44:43 - 00:45:20)

Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire picture

Stupidity: Kora and Gunnar arrive at the town to find the rebel Bloodaxes via a contact of Gunnar's. They literally see this contact being hauled out of a bar by bounty hunters who work for the Imperium...and then walk straight into the same bar and start openly talking about needing to find the rebels right in front of the bartender and other patrons, who for all they know are all Imperium-aligned.

Dune: Part Two picture

Stupidity: During the battle on the harvester, Chani is firing an anti-aircraft projectile at a Sardaukar approaching her. Although the projectile is strong enough to destroy an ornithopter, instead of blasting the Sardaukar away, it pushes it into the air until it hits the harvester track. (00:36:39)

Venom: The Last Dance picture

Stupidity: Since we get frequent POV shots from their eyes, we see exactly what the creatures hunting Venom see. Even when the Codex disappears from their view, they can see distinctly Venom's shape, and they have no problem using their appendages and brute force against any and every creature. There are moments in the movie (such as the scene in Vegas) when the Xenophage just stops for no reason; even if the big blinking thing is gone, you can still see the shape it was attached to.

Butcher's Crossing picture Butcher's Crossing mistake picture

Stupidity: When learning how to gut and skin the buffalo, Will gets sick but goes to fill up a bucket of water from the river. He gags and partially throws up, spitting into the river... and then immediately scoops up water in the bucket in the very spot he just threw up into. (00:48:20)
