Young Guns 2 (1990)
Question: What happened to Doc's girlfriend from the first film? She risked her life to be with him at the end of Young Guns, so its a little odd that there's no mention of her in this film.
Answer: Doc says in the movie he is married with kids. So you have to assume he married her.
Answer: During the ending monologue from the first film, it is revealed that Doc moved east with a "celestial bride, her mother and 14 brothers and sisters."

The Great Outdoors (1988)
Stupidity: John Candy was being dragged by the speedboat because he was holding the bar when the boat took off. It simply never occurred to him that letting go off the bar would have solved the problem (Of course then you wouldn't have had the speedboat scene at all but it's still pretty dumb).
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Characters doing stupid things doesn't constitute a stupidity entry. That was part of the joke, that Chet spent all the time telling his son to remember to let go of the rope if something goes wrong, but then forgets his own advice in the heat of the moment. People do stupid things in real life all the time.
Well how does this not count as a Stupidity then? You just said it was and there was no need for him to stay holding onto the rope.
Stupidity is basically a minor plot hole, something small that doesn't rise to the level of an plot hole entry. Characters are still allowed to do stupid things though if it's not a plot hole (otherwise everything Lloyd and Harry do in all the Dumb and Dumber movies would be stupidity entries).

F/X (1986)
Stupidity: After the Defranco "assassination" Rollie learns he is a target and survives two attempts on his life. But instead of leaving town or finding somewhere else to hide for the night, he spends the night in his own apartment (even though he was well aware the killers knew where he lived). As a result, his girlfriend is killed and he barely escapes alive.

Footloose (1984)
Trivia: On the DVD commentary, Kevin Bacon stated that at the time of release that despite the studio's insistence, he refused to go around telling reporters that he did all his own dancing in the film (he was mostly doubled) after the backlash that Jennifer Beals copped after Flashdance where she was forced by the studio to say she did all her own dancing despite only doing close-ups.

The Invisible Man (2020)
Audio problem: When the invisible man slaps Sydney (making Cecilia look guilty), the sound of a bare hand slap is heard. But the invisible man was wearing gloves as part of his suit, so the sound would have been duller and blunt.

Grease (1978)
Question: During the car race, we see Cha-cha say "Cmon babe." Is she referring to Danny or the Scorpions leader? (Remember that Danny wasn't originally supposed to be the driver).
Chosen answer: She's referring to Leo, the leader of the Scorpions.
Answer: I think she's secretly meaning Danny because at the dance she calls him "Zuko Baby" and then at the race she says "c'mon baby"

When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Trivia: The now-famous "I'll have what she's having" line spoken by the lady in the diner was Billy Crystal's idea.

Doctor Dolittle (1967)
Revealing mistake: When Dr Dolittle is talking to the parrot and it raises its left leg, you can see a piece of string running past Dolittle's head used to raise its leg.

Bad Boys for Life (2020)
Trivia: In the trailer Martin Lawrence gets out of the passenger side of Will Smith's valuable car and his door gets damaged hitting a fire hydrant. This is a reference to an actual behind-the-scenes moment in Bad Boys 2 when Lawrence did the same thing, hitting a concrete barrier whilst exiting the expensive Ferrari used in the film. It infuriated Michael Bay and Lawrence was highly apologetic.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Question: If Rey was powerful enough to realise that Chewbacca was still alive on another spaceship (remember that they were in space and the ship was probably a far distance away), why did she have no clue that he wasn't on the cargo ship right in front of her (the one her and Kylo accidentally blew up)?
Answer: At this point Rey had just been involved in a test of power versus Kylo Ren - she was probably far too stressed at the time so couldn't determine whether Chewbacca was onboard or not.
True. However she may have been more baffled by the blue lightning strike that she just cast.

The Hunt for Red October (1990)
Question: This has always baffled me. When Ryan is talking to Jeffrey Pelt and Pelt asks him what he's supposed to do if Ramius is in fact trying to defect, Ryan responds that that they should grab the sub and Pelt responds that it is a billion dollar sub and the Russians are "gonna want it back." But Greer when first telling Ryan the news of the Red October's theft said that the Russians wanted the US's help to sink her. In other words the Russians wanted the Red October destroyed, not returned. And Pelt's counter argument made little sense (as grabbing the sub was indeed an option). Was this just poor writing or what?
Answer: Actually it makes perfect sense. The Russians do not want the sub falling into the American's hands, period. They want to retrieve it themselves or sink it. While it would be a great financial loss to destroy it, it would be much more damaging to have the Americans capture it, because they would then be able to reverse engineer the new design.

Titanic (1997)
Trivia: The scene at the end when everyone is running and the priest is saying "As I walk through the valley of death" to which an annoyed Jack responds "Could you walk a little faster" was taken from 1969's Paint Your Wagon where Lee Marvin and the preacher have the exact same exchange when fleeing the cave collapse.

Trivia: On Andy's bedroom wall is a poster of Poltergeist 3 which was released in 1988, the same year the original Child's Play was.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Question: Where was Gamora during the funeral scene and when the Guardians leave at the end. Was she just hiding on earth or something?
Answer: This version of Gamora had abandoned Thanos, but she is also not a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, so she flees to parts unknown. There's an alternate version of the scene when Tony dies showing all the heroes bowing to him, with Gamora looking back at Tony momentarily before heading off all by herself.

Kidnap (2017)
Stupidity: When sneaking into the hillbilly's house at the end to find her son, Karla for some unknown reason places the loaded sawn-off shotgun (which she stole from the hubby) on the kitchen table and replaces it with a knife. As a result the hillbilly wife finds it and tries to use it on her later.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Question: Spoiler! At the end why would Steve Rogers pass his Captain America mantle to Sam Wilson? He doesn't possess any kind of super strength, and his only talents are flying and being a decent fighter.
Answer: This is right out of the comics. When Steve Rogers retires as Captain America in All-New Captain America #1, he passes the mantle to Sam Wilson.
Answer: Steve Rogers didn't have super strength when he was chosen to be Cap. His demeanor, personality, and selflessness earned him the mantle. The abilities came with it.
His character earned him the slot in the super soldier program - his abilities are a direct result of the now-unavailable super soldier serum. Falcon is highly skilled and trained, doesn't mean he can't do a good job as a "new" Captain America with a different skillset, but he won't have the same strength and speed.
Answer: As shown throughout the events of the "Captain America" and "Avengers" sequels, Cap and Sam are very much kindred spirits with a great deal in common. Cap thus saw him as the perfect person to pass the mantle onto.
Answer: Its current location is right back in the Australian Outback in the city of Broken Hill, New South Wales.
