Cheerleader Camp (1988)

Stupidity: It seems dumb on the cops' part not to notice Cory acting like a cheerleader after the events of the weekend.

Death Wish II (1982)

Stupidity: The thugs tell Kersey's housekeeper to remain quiet so as not to get the neighbors attention, but they make a lot of noise while waiting for Kersey.

Rob245

Stupidity: Sister Margaret should've tried taking Billy to a psychiatrist and checked on him during December knowing what happens in toy stores. She should've gotten him a job in a grocery.

Rob245

Stupidity: It seems unlikely any mental asylum would leave a child with a patient regardless of the patient being in a catatonic like state.

Rob245

Stupidity: It seems dumb that Mr. Freeze takes part in the Arkham plot given he said when Shredder and Ra's walked through he wanted no part of anything, but when Joker frees everyone he joins in.

Below the Belt (1980)

Stupidity: The celebration of Rosa beating Tommy in the world title match seems pointless as she got knocked out, Rosa didn't pin her, thus she didn't become the champion.

Chloe (2009)

Stupidity: It seems foolish of Chloe to seduce Catherine's son to get back at her. She should've sent the picture of her and Catherine together to David instead.

Rob245

Stupidity: Given both Emily and Luke were sweaty, the young woman who came to see Luke should've noticed his sweaty chest and heavy breathing.

Rob245

Stupidity: When Vivian sees Matt coming towards her at the country club she should've run unless she wanted to gamble with her life.

The Assignment (2016)

Stupidity: It seems dumb that the doctor didn't leave Frank with more women's clothes after the operation.

The Initiation (1984)

Stupidity: It seems idiotic that only mesh gates hold the inmates of the asylum back when indoors, surely they'd use steel or have them shut in with concrete and electronic key pads.

Rob245

Stupidity: Frigga's captor Tony kills a fellow prostitute, removes her body, but doesn't bother to get rid of her blood soaked sheets.

America 3000 (1986)

Stupidity: The men have a blaster or fancy gun of some kind from the bunker Korvus found yet they never use it once in battle against the Amazons.

Rob245

Stupidity: When the parents knew Freddy was doing the killing then why didn't they watch him like a neighborhood watch so they could catch him trying it again, and thus avoid the legal technicality which threw out of the first case? It seems idiotic they broke the law to punish this lawbreaker.

Suggested correction: The parents believed Freddy would not face justice for his crimes. They were unwilling to allow him the opportunity to kill another child, and believing the justice system had failed them they took the law into their own hands. They completely got away with their vigilante justice. The only bad thing that happened was Freddy was brought back as a vengeful demon with superpowers. There is no way the parents could have known this would happen.

It is still a stupidity. Even if they wanted him to suffer, they would try to avoid legal problems at all costs. It is good that they wanted to prevent him from killing another child but they still shouldn't act so hastily.

Stupidity entries are not meant to be stupid acts by characters. They're for minor plot holes. Without in-film evidence why the acts would be a plot hole, there is no stupidity mistake. And assuming what characters would or would not do does not make a valid mistake (not to mention revenge killings do happen in real life and in movies a lot).

Bishop73

No, it's not. What else were they supposed to do when he was caught and set free? It's still not their fault what happened next.

Stupidity: Unless Snow has solid proof like pictures or video why should Katniss believe her main enemy's word that it was Alma Coin, not him, who killed those kids?

Suggested correction: This is a question and not a stupidity. Katniss didn't just accept Snow at his word. Earlier Gale had mentioned an attack strategy to inflict maximum casualties on medics that matched the attack on the Capitol. Then Gale could not deny his part in Prim's death. All the evidence pointed to Coin being responsible as Snow suggested.

I appreciate responses here because it means you're reading stuff and that makes my day.

Rocky IV (1985)

Stupidity: Considering Rocky keeps hitting Drago after the bell sounds to end the round in their main event fight shouldn't he be disqualified?

Rob245

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This is up to the discretion of the ref. If he deems the strikes to not be particularly egregious he can let the fight continue. Even if they are deemed illegal strikes, that doesn't mean that Rocky will be automatically disqualified. The ref can dock a point from Rocky instead, which he very well might have done at some point which we never see. Since Rocky wins by knockout having a point docked doesn't matter.

BaconIsMyBFF

Stupidity: The girls are saved at the end from being possessed by the succubus. All three have become very attractive looking, one's no longer got an overbite, another's not overweight, the last one no longer wears glasses yet they don't notice these changes themselves.

Our Idiot Brother (2011)

Stupidity: Didn't Miranda realise if Lady Arabella read her article she'd probably sue the magazine and as part of the settlement they'd probably fire her?

Below the Belt (1980)

Stupidity: When Rosa notices Terrible Tommy hurts opponents for real then the others know this also, obviously, so why don't they complain to the promoter and have her fired?
