Sonic Adventure 2

Plot hole: On the first level when the giant truck comes out and tries to run Sonic down, if Sonic slows down, the truck slows down too, even to a crawl while still chasing Sonic. But its mission is to hit and flatten Sonic. No reason to have it slow down because the player does.

The Scorn of the Star Sapphire! - S3-E5

Plot hole: Van Gunther has the two rockets aimed at the Geneva Convention. They launch with Steve attached to one of them. Wonder Woman chases in her invisible jet and shoots down the other rocket. She then gets out and uses her crown like a boomerang to break the chains holding Steve to the second rocket and rescues him off it. She or her crown never touch the rocket, but it crashes into a mountain. She did nothing to it to disrupt its course towards the Geneva Arms Conference. There was nothing to make it crash or hit prematurely, and the sudden weight change of Steve falling off would not have been enough to cause it. (00:02:55)

Triumvirate of Terror! - S3-E8

Plot hole: Just after Lex teleports into the Bat Cave, he marvels over how their tracking devices worked perfectly. However, they didn't have the plan to switch up nemeses until after they had their butts handed to them and retreated back to the Lex's lair. They never had the chance to put any tracers on the heroes, nor did they even have the idea to beforehand. (00:14:15)

Triumvirate of Terror! - S3-E8

Plot hole: At the Amazonian contest, the stadium is full packed with people spectating the event. When Joker attacks their queen and Wonder Woman, they do nothing. No panic, no revolt, no riot, not even a sound. Yet Joker just knocked out their queen, turned the other Amazonian warriors to his side with Joker Gas, and took out Wonder Woman, all in front of them. (00:11:30)

Triumvirate of Terror! - S3-E8

Plot hole: After Superman thwarts Lex's plan and knocks the Kryptonite into the sewers, Lex yells in frustration, splits his power suit off and flies away on a jet pack. Superman just lets him go. Wouldn't Superman chase him and catch him, especially seeing as how weak Lex would be like that? (00:07:35)

Stolen (2012)

Plot hole: As Will and Riley are melting the gold in the bank vault, the temp rises enough that fire alarm goes off. The firefighters somehow get there in a matter of seconds. (01:13:00)

Plot hole: Mater tells McQueen he moved and looked like he just saw the Ghostlight. Sheriff gets on to Mater for talking about the Ghostlight and then their whole plan falls into place to trick and scare Mater with the blue lantern. Only there's no way they would have known that Mater would have mentioned the Ghostlight after that. McQueen didn't know about it, supposedly. And he had been scared by Mater and had been there enough that he would have known if Mater had mentioned it before, and Mater would have known he told McQueen. (00:01:55)

Nailbiter (2013)

Plot hole: When the mom spots the tornado behind them down the street, she brings the car to a screeching halt on the side of the road and orders the sisters to get out. They then take off on foot down a long driveway to get to a stranger's house. This is an illogical decision. If wanting to hurry to escape the tornado, why stop at the driveway and take off on foot? They would have reached the house much much quicker by driving down the driveway to the house. (00:14:55)

Plot hole: When the zombies have Taylor, The Corpse and Taylor have a conversation while the other zombies just hold him. Zombies would not have just held him without eating for so long. (00:04:20)

Hansel & Gretel (2013)

Plot hole: After Lilith kills Officer Jerry, the Sheriff goes to her bakery and finds a large blood trail leading right to him where she stashed Jerry's body. If she was going to go through the trouble to try and move and hide the body, she would have cleaned up the blood trail too, or moving the body out of site was completely pointless. (01:07:30)

Hansel & Gretel (2013)

Plot hole: The room that the teens are kept in while being fattened up is locked up by a single, wooden, thin door with a conventional doorknob as the only lock. That door is way too flimsy to hold them. Two strong teenage boys with two girls there as well could have easily broken the door down with little effort and escaped.

Plot hole: When Gretel is going through the weed maze the first time to find one of Carlos' goons in the cage, Agnes' dog is gone. But just earlier, she told her dog to stay there right by the cage, and the dog did so, and did not leave the garden. Yet Gretel is there and the dog is not seen, nor does it show up or attack her, despite all the loud noise, leaving a trail of Skittles, and the whistling. It does not make any sense that the dog would have vanished and not attacked Gretel. The writing even missed out on a good action scene there.

Sing for the Unicorn - S1-E5

Plot hole: Link goes after Ganon to save the King and winds up hanging on the tail of his Unicorn Pegasus in the air. Zelda was in her room in a high tower when Link used the diving board to get out to an even higher tower. Ganon blasts Link off his horse, and Link begins falling to certain doom towards the castle grounds. But miraculously, Zelda is there with a hay cart and saves him. She was all the way up in her tower and Link wasn't even out of the room for 2 full minutes. Yet somehow she was able to make it all the way down to the castle grounds, grab a hay cart, and be in just the right spot to catch Link. (00:04:50)

Plot hole: When John has Yuri pinned to the uranium boxes, Yuri reaches into his coat and turns on his walkie talkie so his daughter and minions can hear. John McClane doesn't notice and he is right there. There are two things wrong with this. We hear the beep the radio makes when it is turned on, and it was loud enough that John and Jack would have easily noticed. But even if they didn't hear it, there is another issue. John is a New York cop, or even a detective. As such, he would have extensive training for dealing with armed men, and he would have noticed Yuri reaching into his coat. Even if he didn't hear the radio beep, he would have stopped Yuri's hand or done something, assuming Yuri was reaching for a gun. (01:18:15)

Show generally

Plot hole: The Triforce of Wisdom is kept in Link's room up in a tower. It does seem logical to keep it with Hyrule's greatest hero to keep safe, but that's all you ever see protecting it. Hyrule is a large kingdom, and the Triforce of Wisdom is a vital part of keeping their community safe. Yet the only one protecting it is Link. And he's not with it 24/7. The room is not very secure either and is breached all the time by Ganon's forces. A kingdom like this would have knights to post all around the tower and be in Link's room when he's away. But nope, not here. (00:01:10)

Plot hole: Gerry's wife uses a rocket boot to break through a window and then slides down a curved wall to get to their son. She does so gracefully and takes off running. Gerry slides and takes a hard tumble and rolls down, landing on the ground. The next shot shows Gerry running behind his wife and not too far away as they reach their son. Even if it was to show a little time passing, there was not enough distance between where they broke the window and their son for Gerry to have picked himself up and catch up to his wife before reaching their son, especially with his wife being a worried mom doing a full on sprint to her kid.

Lockout (2012)

Plot hole: Alex walks right past Snow, Emilie and Mace as they hide from him, and they are to his left. He only takes a few steps away when Emilie's necklace begins beeping. That instant, Alex turns around as he hears it and quickly doubles back and looks where the three once were but are now gone. He then turns to his left, which should have been his right earlier and sees the necklace. For it to get there, Emilie or Snow would have had to throw it across Alex's line of sight or set it there. But he turned around instantly and would have seen that. (01:01:40)

Plot hole: Nick Fury wants to detain Tony as he is the only witness. Tony takes off and Nick Fury even says to apprehend him so their only witness isn't killed. Yet when the S.H.I.E.L.D. robots confront Tony at Pepper's vacation spot, they say they are authorized to use deadly force against Tony. And Nick Fury even orders them to fire when Tony resists. If they need Tony to keep their only witness alive, why try to kill him when he doesn't cooperate? (00:31:05)

Plot hole: After being hit with the spores, Cobra Commander cannot walk or even move very well with any speed at all. The Cobra minions have to drag him to their prison with the Joes and just leave him there on the ground after the Joes make a break for it. The Joes go quite a distance to engage Cobra. Road Block is delayed only a couple seconds behind the other Joes when he is grabbed, but knocks out the minion who grabbed him. Suddenly, Cobra Commander is at his feet telling him to wait because it's a trap. Later, Road Block has to carry Cobra Commander because he still can't move much. There's no way Cobra Commander could have caught up with Road Block to warn him of the trap. (00:52:50)
