Tropic Thunder (2008)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Ben Stiller
Starring: Brandon T. Jackson, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Steve Coogan, Tom Cruise
Plot hole: In the scene where Speedman and Lazarus are discussing their acting and Lazarus tells him to never go full retard. It shows these two leading the group, however they stop and talk for quite a while, and the rest of the group are nowhere to be seen until Speedman and Lazarus start moving again. The group finally caught up with them. If at this time, Speedman was still leading the way with the map, how could the group even find these two after being left behind enough distance that this conversation could take place?

Continuity mistake: When Speedman is by himself in the rain, he puts down the iPod and picks up the Chapstick with the white cap on. The next shot, the cap is off. (00:49:00)
Michael PiscitelliKirk Lazarus: Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.
Trivia: Ben Stiller got the idea of Tropic Thunder during filming of the 1987 war movie Empire of the Sun.
