What are your most annoying plot holes in films?

The Hangover - at the beginning they show a shot of the hotel trying to get a mattress down from the roof where the groom had put it to signal for help. Surely if this was the case, he would have been rescued immediately therefore rendering the entire movie pointless!

I thoroughly enjoyed the film but that one scene (which didn't add anything) ruined the entire thing for me
 
Independence Day, where they upload the virus ..........

The Aliens are obviously using Windows 2000, but Jeff Goldblum - being a Geek - was into Linux ........

(ok ok, but it's still a serious point. You can't just upload "a virus" into a completely unknown alien computer!).
 
They were taking it down from a roof, not the roof.

Ceasars Palace (where I think they were) is 14 stories high, he threw the mattress down to try to attract attention but it failed (perhaps no one was there when it landed).

It ended up on a lower down roof (perhaps of the entrance? I can't remember) but whilst they took it down they failed to spot it's point of origin, and the man who had thrown it.

That makes sense, kinda :D
 
It's like the cupboard in front of the door to his study, the massive hole in his back and the fact that no one looked at or spoke to him, he rationalised it all away because he wasn't ready to accept that he was dead so he came up with other explanations for things.
 
The worst most annoying film Open Water was passed off as a "true fact" that one where two people were left behind by a diving boat and I sat through an hour and 19 min of drivvel only to find they never found the boddies so a complete hour of the film was compleate fiction and the Writer (sic) director hadn't a clue what happened.

I personally want to tie down the writer(sic) director Cris Kentis and torture him for 79 min ... see how he reacts
 
why did the big bad robot spend the entire film chasing the cube then when Shia le Bouf holRAB it up to him he's destroyed by it ??
 
Nah, got to be Indy climbing on the submarine and then presto magic we were at the 'Nazi Island' in "Raiders"
No explanation of how he survived that one!
 
Well that's obvious,
The little robot thing may be able to use computers, but it didn't qualify for a credit card as Cybertron didn't register as an address during the credit check process.
 
Independance Day where they connect a laptop to an alien computer system without any problems. Which just goes to show that Apple are an evil alien conspiracy.

Or the Lord Of The Rings film where they walk across Middle Earth instead of flying on the eagles.

The last Star Trek movie. Kirk is stranded on the ice planet and spots something running really really fast towarRAB him, much faster than a person can run, yet he's able to stay ahead of it when he starts running away... AND he just happens to go into the only cave on the entire planet that has a Spock in it.

In Back To The Future how come Marty Mcfly's parents don't realise that Calvin Klein is a spitting image for their son once he returns to the present day? Presumably George must be wondering who the father is... :D
 
In 'Terminator 2' , the T-1000 makes his finger a spike and spears Sarah Connor thourhg the shoulder, he then tries to force her to call for her son. This despite him impersonating people throughout the film, why does he suddenly decide against doing so here? He would have just killed her.
 
a classic case of the film being so entertaining that they just get away with it somehow .

( they did shoot a scene where he tied his whip to the periscope and rode along like that , but this would require the sub to submerge no more than about 10 feet ! )
