Reality Bites picture

Plot hole: When Lalaina is in her depressed "Bell Jar" phase, she's complaining to the psychic hotline counselor that she's freaked out by the idea of having kids because she "can't even take care of a Chia Pet". But earlier in her documentary, she'd talked about how starting at age 13 she had to become the responsible one, buying food, taking care of and parenting her siblings. Which contradicts the portrayal of her as someone who can't take care of anything.

Dumb and Dumber picture

Plot hole: By the time Lloyd gets to the airbridge the plane had already left. The finalisation of the boarding process after last call, plus push back takes at least 15 minutes. Lloyd would have easily caught up to Mary or the plane would have still been there.

Suggested correction: When looking for Mary with briefcase in hand, Lloyd is doing eenie meenie miny moe with the flight schedule monitors. So he has no idea what gate she is at, he could have been running around for 15 minutes before finding the right plane.

Legends of the Fall picture

Plot hole: During the war sequence, when Samuel dies, how necessary was it for the two Germans to go through the trouble of setting up a machine gun to shoot him? I find it hard to believe they had no other weapon but that. It seems to have been done only to build suspense. (00:42:45)
