For me, it’s often unexplained step changes in characters’ behaviour or bizarre decisionmaking which set me off.

You get 90 minutes of a film, or a couple of television series of episodes, in which a character’s psyche is very clearly exposed and defined, and then they start making decisions or statements which make no sense whatsoever given all you’ve been taught about them.

Generally speaking, unrealistic dialogue drives me up the wall too. You wonder how some of these screenwriters actually live their lives, because they don’t appear to engage in or otherwise study human conversations.

I often find my wife with her head turned just staring at me with a slightly confused and slightly exasperated look on her face after I’ve been screaming, “PEOPLE JUST DON’T SPEAK LIKE THAT!” at the television.

Regarding character changes, I found one of the worst to be Andy in the US version of The Office. Very inconsistent.

Shawshank - how tf did he put that poster back up so neatly?

Karate Kid - kicks to the face not allowed but the famous crane kick wins it for Larusso
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Karate Kid one is a myth. You see kicks to the face win points at least twice before the final, including one against Daniel by Butch from Cobra Kai.

Groundhog day,at the end when he's playing the piano at the charity event and the woman says 'I'm his piano teacher'.At that stage why would he still be going to the piano teacher when he can now play it perfectly,makes no sense

Marty's dad definitely suspected Marty's mum slept with young Marty.

Yea, that would be the more natural conclusion for anyone in 1985 who was also there in the 50s..

No one would think, "that guy looks like that kid at school, he must have been a time traveller".

Memory doesn't work like that. Try and think back to a random kid at school who was only there a week... You wouldn't remember much about him. Hell, even remembering your best mate at school, you wouldn't get it spot on.

I thought the ref said no hits to the face? Dutch was always up to no good. The refereeing was very inconsistent

Yeah sorry, Dutch not Butch. He may have said hits but I don’t think he said kicks. And there are definitely at least two winning points that came from kicks to the face.
Also in Cobra Kai, Miguel wins a point with a crane kick in the tournament.

Star Wars IV. The Empire could have won if it wasn't for some lame ars£ who decided not to shoot the escape pod R2D2 and C3P0 were on even though they were looking for the Death Star Plans.

Jurassic Park. The scene where the T-Rex escapes from his enclosure and then knocks the jeep back through the fence, only for there to be a 100 foot drop the other side.

Superman. How exactly is he flying?

Oh yeah that’s a great one!

The length of the runway in any film that has car chases on runway, especially the Fast and Furious one with the jumbo jet

Stolen from somewhere on the internet, someone worked it out as well as they could calculating the planes speed, cars speed and simultaneous action sequences and said the runway would have to be at least 18.37 miles long.

Lord of the Rings. Why did Frodo not just use one of Gandalf's eagles to get to Mount Doom.

Would have saved a bit of hassle.

As far as plotholes go, it has to be A Quiet Place.

I actually enjoyed the film. But my God, you could write a full dissertation on the number things that just make no sense.

How is Kyle Reese John Connors father in the terminator?

Yeah there's a number of them in that film, but it's still really good and you don't really question them at the time.

And why do they only send one Terminator?

As with most stories, films, books etc. the beholder has to display the willing suspension of disbelief to get through them with enjoyment and satisfaction

A causal loop is a theoretical proposition in which, by means of either retrocausality or time travel, a sequence of events is among the causes of another event, which is in turn among the causes of the first-mentioned event. Such causally looped events then exist in spacetime, but their origin cannot be determined.

That might explain how we signed Bebe as well.

1. He manipulates energy around him psionically

2. Laser beams from his eyes reflected by a mirror, he does this every morning.

😂

Some others of mine are the Air Force guys not believing Randy Quaid’s character in Independence Day when he claims to have been abducted by aliens, after they’ve literally just been invaded by aliens.
-------------------------------------------------------------

I've always thought the big plot hole in Independence Day was Jeff Goldblum managing to load a virus onto the alien ship with an Apple Mac. Amazing that the aliens had compatible software.

In Harry Potter we see Fred, George and Harry all use the marauders map, but none of them ever once wondered or noticed why a man named Peter Pettigrew was sleeping alongside Ron every night.
