All the way back in 2005, the late critic Roger Ebert wrote in his review for the French horror film High Tension: "Clever viewers will be able to see for themselves that the movie's plot has a hole that is not only large enough to drive a truck through, but in fact does have a truck driven right through it."

A week ago, reddit user Naweezy decided to tribute Ebert and his poetic phrase. So they posted a question to r/AskReddit, "What are some plot holes so big you can drive a truck through?" Immediately, screen detectives started revealing their insights. From Star Wars to The Simpsons, it's crazy to think producers didn't notice these humongous craters in their stories and let them through.

At one point he takes the eyes from a person wearing glasses, so for the rest of the movie Imhotep should really be squinting at everyone.

Or did they? In Patrick McGilligan's book "Backstory 1: Interviews with Screenwriters of Hollywood's Golden Age," for example, screenwriter Richard Maibaum recalls working with Alfred Hitchcock on Foreign Correspondent (1940). "I was writer number thirty ... primarily I rewrote the ... part of the old statesman who was kidnapped. (Hitchcock) said to me, 'Did you read what we've got?' Which was half a screenplay. I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'What do you think about it?' I replied, 'It's not very logical.' He grimaced and said, 'Oh, dear boy, don't be dull. I'm not interested in logic, I'm interested in effect. If the audience ever thinks about logic, it's on their way home after the show, and by that time, you see, they've paid for their tickets.'"

Being a movie enthusiast, Naweezy said they asked the question simply out of curiosity. "I just love reading posts on movies and people's thoughts and opinions on them," they told Bored Panda, adding that even though they definitely are a fan of the late Roger Ebert, they haven't seen that review and came up with the angle for question themselves.

Clearly, a movie or TV show can have a plot hole and still be popular. But can it still be good? Naweezy said it depends. "Movies with plot holes can still be good but the plot holes need to be small and not affect the main storyline. It's not a good thing when a plot hole is the first thing you think of when remembering a movie or show."

Experts agree with that thought. They say that if a plot hole is so glaring that it takes the viewer out of the story, breaking the suspension of disbelief and causing harm to the enjoyment of the narrative, it matters. However, if it's just a minor discrepancy in the plot and doesn't break the experience, it's probably no big deal and can still be pleasant to the average audience member. So it's probably the size of the hole that determines whether or not it destroys the movie.

Yet we constantly scheme on how to colonize Mars, the Moon and space. None of them are atmospheres we can naturally live in unaided. The aliens can apparently survive for short periods in our atmosphere in Signs. Also you are applying human logic to a species that is not part of our evolutionary tree, which means its logic may not make sense to us at all.

30 People Respond To "What Are Some Plot Holes So Big You Can Drive A Truck Through?" One of my favourite movies but Interstellar. There's the one planet where the surface is water with huge waves and time moves much slower, so like 5 minutes on that planet is 2 years on earth (or something like that). Before going down, the scientists discuss how risky this is, as even if they go down to get the earlier astronaut and check the planet out for habitability, years will pass on earth while they're down there, and earth is running out of time. They are experts in this and they fully understand the time distortion on this planet caused by the black hole it orbits. HOWEVER, they decide to go anyways because the astronaut that went there to check it out has been sending positive signals about he environment and habitability of the planet for something like 12 years. So OMG we have to go if it's so good that she's been there that long and everything is good. Their only concern is about the amount of time that will pass on earth... After they land, they have this massive realization that it's just a bunch of shallow water with massive tidal waves every hour or so, and the astronaut they sent there 12 years ago actually just landed like 30 mins ago in her time because of the time distortion, and is dead. Then they are like "oh doh we've been getting positive signals for 12 years because for her it's only been 30 mins and she hadn't been hit by a wave and killed yet - this planet is bad". The entire rest of the plot is completely dependent on the fact that they get f**ked by this stop as the ship now has low fuel from orbiting the planet for like 15 years while the others were down there. So the entire movie rests on the idea that a group of the world's best physicists who had already identified and discussed the time distortion of the planet didn't connect that to the fact that the "12 years of good signals" actually means less than an hour of good signals because of that very time dilation.

Also the signals should be waaaay apart and also distorted, how come they received 12 years of signals instead of 30 minutes of signals spread over 12 years. The wave length would also be distorted.

I dont understand the science behind zombies.

Sure i can go along with the dead waking up eating others for sustenance.

But why don't they dry out? Why don't the characters move to the artic where the dead would freeze or the desert where they would dry out.

Why can't they out run them ? Why do they always twist their ankle while running away ?

The zombies at the very least should dry out and reanimate when it rains and surely due to evolution the only people left would have really robust ankles that don't easily sprain as they would be more likely to survive ?

30 People Respond To "What Are Some Plot Holes So Big You Can Drive A Truck Through?" Thanos destroying the stones in Endgame makes ZERO sense, because his logic was that "he did it so that his 50/50 snap can't be undone by anyone", but the universe's population will normalize to the previous amount in just a century or so (which is NOTHING to Thanos, considering he is over 1500 years old).

Fun fact: Earth's population in 1920 was 1.9bil. Today (100 years later), it's over 7bil. So snapping earth's population to 50% would normalize back to over 7bil in less than 50years.

30 People Respond To "What Are Some Plot Holes So Big You Can Drive A Truck Through?" Lily and James could have been their own secret keepers. Thus removing the need to use Wormtail and give away their position to Voldemort Most likely saving the potters lives.

Peter Pettigrew was also around for a few years while the Weasley twins had the Marauder's map. He should have been visible. Ron was sleeping with a man every night and Fred and George were silent about it.

Veritas Serum exists. Should have been extremely useful in discovering who the death eaters were after the first fall of Voldemort.

Unbreakable vows and time turners are also universe breaking magics.

Only question the first two statements: Firstly, want to point out that if Lily and James were the only secret keepers they'd have been totally isolated from their friends and unable to leave their home for anything. They were being hunted by Voldemort and couldn't exactly go out and about their daily lives. Secondly, the twins had been using the map in the years before Ron came to Hogwarts. So isn't it possible that they just memorized their favorite secret routes and didn't need the map too much? Also, they probably weren't too focused on their younger brother and they definitely would not have known who Peter Pettigrew was. For all they knew it was some clingy student in Ron's dormitory.

R2-D2. This droid is like 50 years old by the time we get to the end of the Skywalker saga, and yet at no point has he become obsolete or incompatible with anything he runs into.

We can see the development of technology throughout the series and across several vastly different civilizations and cultures. Doesn't matter, R2 and his Magic Hacker Wand can get through any locked door or security protocol.

That in a galaxy, far far away, a long time ago, various spacefaring, technologically advanced races can't secure anything.

You pretty much stroll into an enemy base, your droid just plugs in to any port and can download anything. No access control, no alarms, CCTV only when it's useful to the plot. Once you've got what you want, stroll out and take an enemy ship. Again, no access control, locking doors, anything.

The major issue this seems to be pointing out is that the empire are using older tech that is standardised, which is unsurprising given that 20 years isn't enough time to R&D such let alone replace everything. What if they did manage though, to make it so everything wasn't so standardised so no R2 break ins or hiding as a stormtrooper? Defectors were hiding throughout the empire so just use one of them for access unquestioned, or t obtain and reprogram an updaed or new droid.

So in The Ring (original or remake) you sort of subvert the curse by making a copy of the tape. What happens when VHS tapes are no longer viable? Does Sadako make the jump to digital at some point and start sending out DVDs? Even then not everyone has a DVD burner so that doesn’t seem very smart. Did the curse migrate to Limewire downloads in the early 2000s and now you get freed from it by adding a new torrent seed? Was there an awkward period sometime in the early 90s where there were cursed laser discs floating around?

Harry Potter has done magic without a wand, such as disappearing the glass in book one and blowing up the aunt like a balloon in one of the later novels. I think the logic for the wand is to focus the magic and control it. A lightning rod for magic, if you like.

In Alien: Covenant, they discover this planet which never showed up on their sensors and they did not vet...yet they decide it would be a great idea to walk around without helmets as soon as they land.

They even talk about spending YEARS preparing to live on the planet they originally picked, but this one they decided after 2 weeks "wE dOn'T NeEd hAzArD PrOtEcTiOn"

Of course you're going to get infected with alien spores you idiots!

Ocean's 11. During the blackout scene, there is mad chaos in the casino. People stealing chips and just mass hysteria. Then the team goes to steal the money during the blackout. Afterwards, the lights are back on, and as they walk out of the casino, people in the background act like nothing has happened. No hysteria, just a normal casino with people gambling in a fun and jovial manner.

Prometheus.

First they descend upon a planet and seemingly by chance instantly find the place they're looking for.

A bit later the cartographer gets lost. People on the bridge can't direct him back over the radio although they have a perfect holgraphic map of the entire site and everyones position in the background of the shot.

Then the expert biologist and physicists decide to take off their helmets in an unknown atmosphere and opt to touch some alien-looking slime with their bare hands just for fun.

Worst part is I could go on.

All of Ant-Mans powers. In the 1st Ant-Man movie, Pym says that when you shrink you maintain your same weight. This is all fine and good, and it explains why he can still punch people, until you realize that means Pym was carrying a 30 ton TANK in his pocket the entire movie. Like what the heck? And you can’t even say that it’s only the suit that maintains weight, because in Endgame there’s a scene where Scott grows and then punches one the Chitauri whales strait into the ground. I understand why they said it maintains weight, but just make them escape the building without a tank. It’s like they wanted there to be a plot hole

Exactly, also Holdo (purple hair woman), does not include Poe in her plan in the beginning which would have prevented Poe from turning against her in the first place. Also Finn and Rose discussing classified plans with a person the don't know right next to them is extremely stupid.

Don't forget the Horcruxes my dear, Horcruxes. If he had gone to fight Voldemort without having dealt with the Horcruxes, it wouldn't have mattered how lucky he was. No one knew they existed except Dumbledore who only started to suspect after book 2. Also, Lucky potion could only do so much, Voldemort would not have suddenly decided to gather all his Horcruxes together in one place at the one time Harry decided to face him.

I mean the whole premise is illogical, you have to be able to shave the bones in the face to perfectly match the person you are swapping with, change the vocal chords, eye color, hairline, and a host of other things to look exactly like the person. Not to mention be heavily medicated to not reject the transplant due to mismatched blood type and other reasons.

In Oceans 11, the total heist would weigh too much to carry out. The U.S. Treasury has the weight of $1,000,000 at 22 pounds. Multiply that by 163 and the total weight from the heist would be 3586 pounds. Divide that by all eleven con men, and each one would have to carry 326 pounds out of the casino.

Stargate. The Gate is found in the 1920s along with the stone tablet showing the 7 glyphs to 'dial' to open it to an alien world. Yet for over 50 years of study by the best minds the U.S Military throws at it they only dial the first 6 glyphs. Not once did they try a simple process of elimination with the finite number of other glyphs on the gate to get it working, no, they had to bring in quirky disgraced Egyptologist Daniel Jackson to say "Umm there's a 7th symbol that looks like a Pyramid here on the tablet and there's a pyramid looking symbol on the gate too!"

If it was to cover up government involvement then congratulations, you’ve now got a bunch of criminals who aren’t loyal to you, resent you, and are more likely to try and blackmail or defame you. They’re loose ends. You’ll have to execute them anyway and lose the asset you built.
