The World is Not Enough picture

Plot hole: In the Banker's Office, Bond takes the strap from one of the window blinds to facilitate his escape. Overlooking the large quantity of cable he ties round the belt of the villain and his own belt, there must be an awful lot of strap for one blind to allow him to drop from that high up to the ground (well over 50ft?).

The Omega Code picture

Toy Story 2 picture

Plot hole: At the end when the gang get home to Andy's room, it's night time and the luggage trolley they drove home in is outside the neighbour's house. The next morning it's still there. But we see an ad with the 'chicken man' looking very sad because he lost Woody and the others. How could he have gone to Tokyo, realised the dolls were missing, then zoomed back to Tri County to do the ad the next day? While saving Woody, the toys explicitly say that Andy is returning home the following morning. They must have made it in one night, or they would have missed Andy's return.

Hornblower: The Frogs and the Lobsters picture

Plot hole: Following Pellew's meeting with Lord Hood, he tells Hornblower that they had to get back to Plymouth as quickly as possible. The next scene depicts them at fleet landing in the Pool of London, with a number of battleships at anchor. Line-of-battle ships simply were unable come that far up the Thames. Should it have been intended to depict that they had, following a two-day trip via carriage to Plymouth, gone aboard the Indefatigable there, it is illogical for the French troops to march all the way to Plymouth. A quick glance at a map of Britain supports this contention.

Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century picture

Plot hole: It is laughably implausible that a young child would be able to engineer a space walk on a space station, as Zenon does. Even with the friend getting his dad's access codes, something that like would be well under guard and key, and monitored heavily.

The Mummy picture

Plot hole: If the Medjai are supposed to be the guardians against Imhotep and sworn to make sure he never comes back to life then why weren't they in possession of the key that opened everything in the first place?

Suggested correction: Because it got lost in the centuries that passed. It's possible they don't even know every step on how the mummy can return.
