From Hell picture

Plot hole: Early in the film, we learn that the former prostitute Annie Crook is married to and has an infant daughter (Alice) with Prince Edward Albert Victor. Secretly outraged, Queen Victoria dispatches various high-ranking operatives to eliminate this potential royal scandal. To that end, Prince Edward Albert Victor is secreted away, and his wife Annie Crook is kidnapped and barbarically lobotomized. We then learn that he baby, Alice (who was fortunately in the care of two other prostitutes at the time of the kidnapping), was sent to live with the parents of Annie Crook, no doubt saving the baby's life. That is the last time we hear of baby Alice until near the end of the film, where we are puzzled to learn that Alice was not sent to live with her grandparents at all, as stated earlier. Rather, the prostitute Mary Kelly took baby Alice away from an orphanage to raise as her own. No explanation is offered for this discrepancy.

Suggested correction: Vomit doesn't contain DNA, unless said vomit contains blood.

Untrue. "While not all these bodily substances provide ideal DNA samples, testable DNA can often be extracted from all of them. In every case, what is being tested is the DNA contained in cells of human tissue, whether found on their own or carried by another substance, like earwax, sweat or mucus. Shed cells are also found in urine and feces, vomit, and even tears." https://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/02/science/02qna.html. Also https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/violent-thug-caught-dna-vomit-4017184 "A violent thug who glassed a man in the face has been jailed after being traced down by DNA in his vomit."

Tail Sting picture

Plot hole: The young man goes through security check and it beeps constantly when he passes by, allowing for the baddie to sort it out easily while carrying a gun. These systems only beep once, but, in any case, cops stop passengers from walking by when the systems beeps.

Plot hole: Muir is retiring after 30 years with the C.I.A. You would think considering his years of service and the people he was working with (especially Troy) it would have already been known that he had been married only once and not four times like he was letting on.
