Darkman III: Die Darkman Die

Plot hole: When Peyton/Darkman is showing Bridget how the liquid skin works, he drips a small amount onto his burnt finger, and it solidifies. However, when he drops it onto his finger, it magically shapes itself into a replica of a perfect, undamaged finger. This makes no sense, as it is simply a liquid and is not being molded by any forces. Hence, it should not look like a perfect finger.

Other mistake: When Peyton/Darkman returns to his home, you can see that most of the footage of him arriving and experimenting in his lab is actually repeated footage from the second film, mixed in with some new footage.

Trivia: Bradford May, who directed both "Darkman" sequels, originally planned to return to direct more films in the franchise after the second and third films performed well on home-video. And indeed scripts were written for both a "Darkman IV" and a "Darkman V." But after a change in leadership at Universal, plans for any future films were scrapped as the company wanted to shift focus onto other projects. According to a 2017 commentary track with May, there was an endgame planned for the series, and the final film would have concluded with main character Dr. Peyton Westlake perfecting his liquid skin and returning to society after years of exile.
