Plot hole: If the government guys could see Daryl in the cockpit, they should have known they could finish him off. If they launched a missile, he would either be hit by it or cook himself himself trying to outrun or outclimb it.

The Return of the Living Dead picture

Plot hole: After Frank and Freddie accidentally release the trioxin gas, there are several shots of the gas entering a return air vent and traveling through the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system belonging to the warehouse. Finally the gas exits into the freezer directly on to a hanging cadaver. This room was previously confirmed as a freezer and would have had its own self contained refrigeration system with its own ventilation system. Typical freezer doors also seal as they close. The cadaver would have never come into contact with the trioxin gas and would have never reanimated.

Trancers picture

Plot hole: The 'medics' carry the body bag that is supposed to have the body of Evil Santa inside, but Whistler vaporized it. Somehow, they fail to notice that the obese man weighs like a feather and the bag is deflated and empty. Moreover, the other Trancers vaporize within seconds from their death, but that one, and only that one, took minutes or even hours to disappear, only with Whistler's direct intervention. (00:25:00)
