Under Siege picture

Plot hole: Why was an F-18 even sent to look for the helicopter anyway? Krill was the only one on the ship at the time that knew who was really on the chopper, the crew only knew about Jordan Tate, and the captain believes it's supposed to be a surprise for him so he's not calling anyone, so who sent the F-18?

Batman Returns picture

Plot hole: When The Penguin is controlling the Batmobile, Batman punches through the floor to take off the transmitter. We still see a video feed of The Penguin. Why? Batman pulled off the transmitter, so there is no reason for there to still be a video feed.

Suggested correction: We see the Red Triangle gang spends a while fiddling with the Batmobile's workings before installing the transmitter. It's likely they made multiple 'modifications', thus the transmitter was for controlling the car's engine and steering, and the video feed was made possible by another, separate means.

Suggested correction: I concur with the other correction. There are multiple shots showing the gang working on the car and doing other things to it beyond just putting on the transmitter. (You see them playing with wires, moving parts around, etc.) Hacking into the computer/video-feed so Oswald could taunt Batman is likely among the other things they are doing. There's nothing into the movie that suggests taking off the transmitter should (or even could) interrupt the video-feed. The fact that Batman has to punch the screen to get rid of the Penguin's image is another point to the fact that the transmitter itself had nothing to do with the video feed.

Alien 3 picture

Plot hole: One alien egg is shown hanging from the wall at the start of this film, yet there's no way it can be there. The queen didn't take any with her from LV426 in 'Aliens', and if she did, she had no opportunity to place them on the Sulaco between exiting the dropship's landing gear, engaging Ripley and being killed.

Passenger 57 picture

Plot hole: When Rane and the other terrorists come out the bottom of the plane and start walking towards the fairgrounds, it is amazing how not one police officer or staff member of the airport notices that they came out from under the plane, or that they don't seem to be walking off the plane like the other passengers.

Universal Soldier picture

Plot hole: When Luc and Veronica escape from the motel, they pass by an old lady reading a newspaper. Given that 4 soldiers have been bombing the place for the last 10 minutes it is totally idiotic to think that the old lady would be calmly sitting in the middle of the chaos.

3 Ninjas picture

Plot hole: Just after Snyder escapes the FBI sting, he is yelling at Brown about the FBI cop being Sam Douglas. If Snyder knew the guy standing outside the car is his former partner's son-in-law, why did he continue with the business transaction as though he had never before seen and/or met Sam Douglas?

The Mighty Ducks picture

Plot hole: After District 5 become the Ducks, they have a bunch of fans attending their games from there on out. Problem is, they have fans that show up out of nowhere and also said fans have team merchandise already (sweatshirts, hats, flags, etc). It's also rare for pee-wee hockey teams to even have team merchandise unless they are a long-running franchise.

Sidekicks picture

Plot hole: The Frying Dragon team wins the Breaking, Weapons, and Men's Fighting competitions, as well as coming in second place in the Women's Kata, yet they are still only tied for the lead in the end?
