Giant plot holes in movies

    Is it just me or some of giant holes in the plots of movies crazy

    I mean it enough you have to suspend disblief to get into whatever far fetched thing the movie is about

    I was just watching flight of the phenoix on HBO whihc seems like a pretty cheesey movie, anyways if havn't seen it, there is these people trapped in the desert , and these bandits come , and kill some of the bandits,

    The bandits have assault rifles (whihc a guy with a pistol takes out) Horses, and 2 camels, but yet once the bandits are dead, the apparently forget about the horses and camels and build a plane to fly home.

    Do people like proof read scripts ? or what

    Hahaha... funny you should say that because I thought the exact same thing when I watched it. "Wait a minute... you just happened to have all the tools (welders, torches, etc.) to take apart a plane and put it back together as a different plane?" Smart enough to basically scrape a plane and build a new one, but not smart enough to use the camels and horses that were available to them. Instead, they want to strap themselves to the wing of an untested plane and hope it flies as they fly off a cliff into the sunset.

    Right... hehe

    If I was there, I would be like, "Tell you what... you guys take your wannabe plane, and I'll take a horse and we'll see who gets home first." :) Of course in real life they would all be dead and I would be alive (at home).

    I saw this movie when I was about 11 years old and I thought it was pretty damn good. Oh well, I guess I didn't care about stuff when I was that age.

    I don't let goofy plot holes or unrealistic occurrences bother me anymore.

    There are just so many shit movies out lately that I just try to be entertained.

    I remember watching the Core a few weeks ago on HBO, and when they were tunneling down to the core, they had to go thru all this earth, soil, rock and stuff to get there; but at the end of the movie, when they had to escape again before they died, they followed this fissure all the way to the surface - and had no problem at all.

    I was like - well if that was obvious and easy to get back out, why didn't you take it down to the core in the first place? Woulda saved me and hour of watching this POS.

    I think too much so when I sit down and watch a movie or a show I like to turn off my brain and not analyze it. Drives my wife nuts when she picks on every little inconsistency and I tell her to relax..

    there were SO many plot holes in that piece of shit movie...


    ugh remember when he burns the orange for the effect? CRAPPY. why the hell would government officials needs to know what HEAT does?

    and those 'laser beams' from the sun, that melt the golden gate bridge? you can't SEE light rays, bblaagh!!!

    unobtanium? go shove it in your ass producers! god.

    and when they get to the core......what the hell are they floating in?!?!?! the core's made up of melted iron and other metals dumd butts..yet it's SEE THROUGH in the movie. and it's not like the other magma in the movie's invisible...because some dick wad falls in and melts

    and hilary swank and that guy that looks like dennis quaid as the two leads? geez, looks like the gay romance of the year.

    oh and what was that project...ummm project destiny? they spell it differently throughout the movie. on the docfile it says destiny, then on the computer it says destini. which one is it?!?!?!

    and that freaky nerd with the huge nose? why is it whenever someone starts hacking in to a computer, little animated skulls show up or some woman starts taking her clothes off? it's more likely to look like a DOS prompt or something.

    worst movie ever. we had to watch it for class.

    Also, Independence Day. After Will Smith makes that alien space ship crash, and the alien pops out; he knocks it out with 1 punch, but later on, it takes 4 guys emptying their guns to kill it?

    I was watching wizard of oz last week; and at the end of the movie, when the good witch told dorothy that she could have gone home all the time by clicking her heals...if I were dorothy, I would have belted her. You mean you made me walk all over this god forsaken world, doing YOUR dirty work (killing the witch), and I coulda gone home 2 hours ago? Bitch.

    I haven't seen flight of the phoenix or the core. Those crappy type of movies piss me off. I'd rather just get kicked in the nuts then watch stuff like that. I'd rather watch good stuff then get kicked in the nuts.

    Yeah it's a pain that eventually goes away. Some of the nagging plot holes still haunt me when I try to sleep.

    I'm talking about getting kicked in the nuts by a small child.
