Fun quiz. :) I do think that the thing in Aladdin did make sense, though. Jafar reversed everything that Aladdin had wished for.

Level 47

Dec 6, 2016

And when did he do that? nowhere in the movie does it show anyone's previous wishes get reversed, otherwise Jafar would no longer be a genie after Aladdin makes his 3rd (technically 1st) wish of freeing the Genie.

+14

Level 80

Mar 17, 2021

During Jafar's reprise of "Prince Ali," he explicitly changes Aladdin back into his original, non-prince outfit. It's not too big of a stretch to think that he undid the other stuff that went along with that wish as well.

Level 78

Feb 22, 2022

Exactly. By then he was the worlds most powerful sorcerer. Who is to say that a blast of his scepter wasn't enough to undo a wish? Seemed plausible to me.

The humans as batteries (and actually any life form, so cows, too) thing is totally inefficient and impractical. So... either the movie is stupid (probably), or (more interestingly) there is a completely different reason that the machines are keeping all humans inside a Matrix. I've read a lot of different compelling theories about this, including that the machines lack the capacity for creative thought and are using the combined matrix of human brains as an enormous super computer, using us for our computational power not our body heat- the former of which exceeds that of cows. and that's why they need to run the simulation to keep everyone happy and complacent otherwise why not turn us into unthinking vegetables? There are other theories, too.

+13

Level 43

Apr 17, 2015

The original script had humans acting as hard drives, storing machine data and intellignce, but they decided that was too confusing for the average movie going moron, so they made people be batteries instead.

Level 79

Apr 17, 2015

Well that would make a heck of a lot more sense. And it's possible that's still the real reason since the information we get comes from an unreliable narrator, Morpheus, who is wrong about a number of other things, too.

Level 88

Nov 6, 2025

It would make more sense, but it's not true, apparently. I've repeated the same thing myself until recently, but it stems from a confusion.

The original script always had the humans as batteries used to spark fusion reactions. Before the film came out, writers were invited to pen some short stories for the website. One of them was Neil Gaiman who wrote "Goliath". He thought the battery idea didn't make much sense so in his story he changed it to the machines using the humans as computer hardware.

The internet saw this and it became a rumour, and then accepted fact, that his story was based on the original version of the screenplay, which was changed by an interfering studio. In fact, it was his own invention.

(He also introduced an alien invasion as part of his story, so...)

I’m pretty sure it is because of the war they mentioned between humans and AI - they robots chose humans because they’re numerous and hostile, so subjugating as many as possible is an obvious solution to prepare for world takeover

Re: Jedi... what is that about? They weren't firing photon torpedos down an exhaust port. And they actually had to fly inside the Death Star to reach the core to blow it up... which was only possible because it was still under construction. But anyway, even unfinished, there was apparently still no straight shot from the surface to the core. So... actually... it seems like they did fix the previous version's design flaw. Unless you're just saying that it's still vulnerable to attack from fighters. But, that can be a hard thing to fix. We've been aware that Aircraft Carriers render Battleships and other capital ships extremely vulnerable ever since WW2, and yet, it's still possible today for a single fighter/bomber to sink a large capital ship. It's not like they haven't tried to address the problem. In Star Wars, they tried to address the problem. Eliminating straight shafts to the core and also using a shield generator that created a giant force field around the entire thing.

Level 89

Apr 17, 2015

Yes, that's what I said above, I don't think they use the same flaw in both movies. What bothers me more is: why didn't they restart the shield in the first movie?

Level 73

Apr 17, 2015

The shield is projected from the nearby moon. Presumably it's only needed when under construction, as it can defend itself when operational. You can't project the shield onto the DS once it is flying in space.

Level 89

Apr 18, 2015

I talk about the magnetic shield that captures the millenium falcon, and that Obiwan shuts down. The first death star was not near any moon and was not under construction.

Level 39

Oct 21, 2017

if your trying to say "why didn't they restart the tractor beam recapture the Falcon" its simple and even explained in the movie. they placed a tracker on the Falcon to follow them to the rebel base on Yavin IV Princess Leia suspects it and its then confirmed by Tarkin and Vader

Level 89

Jun 13, 2021

A few years later...

What I meant was (I think) that they should have restarted the shield between the Falcon's escape and their arrival at the rebels' moon, preventing the rebels to come to the death star with their X-wings...

Level 74

Jul 12, 2022

From the briefing itself:

"The battlestation is heavily shielded, and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. Its defenses are designed around a direct, large-scale assault. A small one-man fighter [emphasis mine] should be able to penetrate the outer defense."

"Pardon me, sir, but what good are stub fighters going to be against that?"

"The Empire doesn't consider a small, one-man fighter to be any threat. Or, they'd have a tighter defense."

So I think the explanation is actually given, albeit implicitly: whatever hazards the Falcon encountered, they are not (as) usable against the very small fighters the Rebellion was using in the attack.

How does that same Falcon get through, later in the battle? Well, first, it's not a surprise this time: Han and Chewie know what to expect. Second, it's well into the battle, when they were turning off some defenses so as not to kill their own fighters.

Level 87

Jun 12, 2021

Definitely not the same design flaw, unless Lucas made a change where DS2 was also destroyed by a torpedo going down an exhaust shaft. In the version I saw, DS2 was used to lure what was left of the Rebel fleet to Endor to try to destroy it while it was still under construction. If it hadn't still been under construction, it would have been impossible to destroy and the Rebels wouldn't have come. Leaving a hole for them to fly a ship into was the only way to lure them in, and it would have worked if the shield on Endor hadn't been destroyed.

Level 83

Jun 18, 2021

Hey.... wait a second... why didn't they just use tractor beams on the fighters attacking the Death Star?

Level 75

Jul 25, 2025

Because tractor beams are not small, and there are not nearly enough of them to capture every fighter

Level 74

Jul 12, 2022

I commented on this, above.

Apr 17, 2015

I loved this quiz. I do not love it when people pick apart fantasy movies because of something they consider implausible. If they are okay with wizards fighting fire demons, and dwarves and elves fighting side by side against wraiths, or men from other planets living on earth and flying around fighting bad guys, can they not just suspend belief a bit more and enjoy whatever story the writers give us? There just seems something wrong when they can accept the idea of fantasy creatures, but only if they follow the physical rules of humans from Earth. If soap opera characters can get away with coming back from the dead over and over, surely we can allow Superman to fly backwards to change time. (I think that's why these stories are called fantasy and fiction rather than reality.) Plotholes are a different thing and should be filled with asphalt.

Would not the new Hobbit movies also be an answer for Lord of the Rings?

Level 77

"It would take decades for a T-Rex to reach maturity" - Ya, that's the only thing that makes that movie not 100% realistic

Level 28

Apr 2, 2017

Two points: In return of the Jedi, it is stated that the exposed thermal exhaust port is necessary for flow of ventilation of the station, so this time to combat that flaw the emperor installs an impenetrable deflector shield which is the whole point of the endor story arc. Also, in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Marcus Brody makes it clear at the start of the film that Indiana's objective is to find and take the ark for the college, not simply stop the Nazis from obtaining it, so both of these aren't really plot holes

Level 87

Gravity. Loved it. About as much as I love boils and root canal.

The eagles are NOT a plot hole. Sauron would see them coming, shoot them down, and boom, he has the ring.

Level 59

Jul 1, 2021

Exactly! Even if they couldn't shoot them down or intercept them with the Winged Nazgul, all Sauron had to do was block the door to the lava and it's game over.

Level 78

Feb 22, 2022

Plus, the eagles are a proud and fully autonomous race. You can't just "use the eagles" just like you can't "use the elves." They aren't just birds in Tolkein's universe. They are a highly evolved species with a leader, Gwahir, who himself has a storied lineage. To insinuate that the Fellowship can just "use them" is borderline offensive. The eagles do what they want, and if they don't want to be involved in the affairs of elves and men, nobody can force them.

Level 72

Oct 6, 2023

The eagles are not fully autonomous, they don't do what they want, and they're also not a "race" in the same sense as men, dwarves, of elves, are. They are the servants of the Valar, specifically of Manwë, King of the Valar.

Level 74

Jul 12, 2022

I think you're reading a little much into it. Obviously the Eagles were willing to help, and were wanting to be involved with elves and men and whatnot, because they showed up later. When someone says "use the Eagles here" they mean, in a game-mastering set-piece writerly sense "use them now [instead of later]". You can take it as read that one means "Whatever you do to respectfully entreat the Eagles to action to rescue Sam and Frodo; you could have done it earlier and saved a lot of trouble."

In the fiction, it's not a plot hole (I don't know if it's explicitly addressed but, sure, "Sauron would see them" is good enough for me--and frankly sounds better than "The thought processes of the noble Eagle are so inscrutable as to be unquestioned, only their venerated mind can know when and how they can deus out of a machina, and how dare you question them."), but I don't think anyone's damaging the legacy or being a jerk in suggesting it.

Level 80

Aug 4, 2025

Sure, they could have "respectfully entreated" the eagles the same way earlier, but "Would you fly this incredibly dangerous weapon that famously corrupts its carrier into a fortress guarded by an all-seeing Eye, an army of orcs, and flying Nazgul" is a way different ask than "Would you fly into this now-completely-undefended fortress to pick up a couple of guys?"

Level 72

Oct 6, 2023

That's not the point. The eagles did not intervene because, after the War of Wrath that ended the first age, the Valar vowed to not intervene in the affairs of Middle Earth any more - and the eagles answer to Manwë, King of the Valar. Of course, the Valar are known for bending their own rules, so I guess they decided that some small assitance, or nudging, was okay, but not outright intervention, which using the eagles to fly to Mordor would have been.

Level 67

Feb 14, 2020

They actually try to explain in Armageddon that they need the best in their jobs and they tried but it is too hard to teach them to drill. So not sure if it is a plot hole.

+10

Level 59

Oct 18, 2020

This "plothole" is actually a complete BS, people are just too blinded in their hatred towards Bay, that they refuse to stop and think about it. They are not training to be astronauts, they go up there to drill, only difference from their normal job is the zero G, not to do any astonaut stuff. They have W. Fichtner and the other astronauts to do that. They just need to get their asses hauled to the place they need to be, there is nothing hard about it. If Dennis Tito could do that at 61, there is no reason a group of men in their prime years in reasonable physical shape couldn't or why it should be harder than to teach astronauts in a week how to do something they never did.

Level 68

Jun 30, 2021

It is still near-impossible to believe that it is easier for drillers to learn to drill in space than it is for NASA astronauts to learn to use a drill. Ben Affleck actually has a hilarious take on this issue in his DVD commentary, which I highly recommend.

Mar 17, 2021

Regarding the eagles in LotR: Because Sauron's big giant Eye would have seen them flying in from miles off and would have sent the Nazgûl after them. Even if there was a possibility that the Eagles could have fought their way through, the risk was great enough that the King of the Eagles was like "Yeah, nah, we're not doin' that." I mean, note that the Eagles only flew in to pick up Sam and Frodo after Sauron and all of his defenses had fallen. As risky as the trip on foot was, sneaking in the back way was the best shot they had at remaining undetected.

Level 87

Jun 12, 2021

As has been previously stated, someone would have seen the Eagles coming and the Nazgûl would have engaged them, so they would be delivering the ring to Sauron. Beyond that, they couldn't just fly over Mount Doom and drop the ring from the air; the only entrance was the one that was used. Normally that entrance would have been guarded, so even if the Eagle carrying the ring had made it to Mount Doom, someone would have had to take the ring on foot, and would have been immediately captured. (That was why Aragorn led an army to the gates of Mordor: to divert the troops guarding Mount Doom.) Anyone strong enough to fight their way through Sauron's troops would have been corrupted by the ring. That's why Gandalf refused to touch the ring: the stronger the bearer, the stronger the ring's effect on them. Finally, the Eagles would never have agreed to the mission. It's all explained here.

Level 63

Jun 14, 2021

Yet, they still could have used the eagles to fly to the borders of Mordor and do the last bit by foot to reach Mt. Doom.

But no, let's walk all the way from the Shire to Mt. Doom!

Level 59

Jul 1, 2021

Sauron's agents don't only live in Mordor. They are waging a war on Gondor; they are creeping all around Dol Guldur in preparation for their attacks on Mirkwood and Lothlorien; and there was even Saruman's army who were also looking for the Ring. There were too many risks of being spotted to take the Eagles.

The main strength of their strategy was secrecy, because Sauron could not imagine that anyone would willingly destroy the Ring. So his defenses in the Cracks of Doom are almost negligible. As soon as he spots the Eagles carrying the Ring flying in Mordor's direction, he just blocks the Cracks of Doom, and posts all his archer dudes there. Bang, no more way in to destroy the Ring.

Level 68

Oct 21, 2023

I'm pretty darn sure you can't just ''use the Eagles.'' It just doesn't work like that.

Level 72

Oct 6, 2023

If you've read the books, specifically the Silmarillion, it is clear that the reason the eagles did not intervene is that, after the War of Wrath, which ended the first age and destroyed a gigantic chunk of Middle Earth, the Valar vowed to not intervene in the affairs of Middle Earth anymore - and the eagles answer to Manwë, king of the Valar. The whole story of the Tolkienverse is about magic slowly receding from the world, and creatures (mainly men) being left to their own devices.

Level 99

Jun 12, 2021

There were many glaring inconsistencies in the all of the Star Wars movies, but the one mentioned here doesn't qualify and should be replaced in this quiz. The circumstances under which both bases were destroyed were completely different. In RotJ it was only vulnerable because it was still under construction, and that was why it was in orbit around Endor where it could be shielded from a base on the moon. Had they been able to finish construction I think it is safe to assume that they would have fixed the exhaust port vulnerability from the first movie.

+10

Level 93

Jun 12, 2021

Yeah I mean if you're going to put Star Wars on here it might actually be easier to pick something from the sequel trilogy. There are a lot more plot holes in those movies.

Level 88

Jun 14, 2021

I think the popular approach is to deny that the sequel trilogy even exists - hoping it might come true!

Level 74

Jun 19, 2021

+1.

The whole thing that never existed is the biggest plothole ever bc it breaks almost everything that is previously stablished.

Level 48

Jun 30, 2021

Not sure some of these are plot holes. In one of the movies, the error is allowing the Nazis to dig in the wrong place but also digging in the right place in full view of them. Maybe they should have just waited to see if they'd give up and leave...as for rapidly evolving gills: mutations work very quickly...the space station one has been covered...blame the comics and some prudish censors for the pants...if you can clone dinosaurs, then speeding up the ageing process seems plausible...and as for it being impossible to make time flow backwards by causing the Earth to spin in the opposite direction, how do you know?

Level 48

Jun 30, 2021

I've personally done some experiments for all of these "plot holes" and most of them are are quite feasible.

Ben Affleck as an astronaut remains ridiculous, of course.

Fun quiz though: another, please.

Jun 30, 2021

Well, I tried ageing dinosaurs (stegosaurus and ozraptor, for those of you keeping score) in my underground lab and found that, not to get too technical, that you can alter their DNA at the embryo stage to encourage rapid growth. Of course, I had to mix in salamander genes rather than ones from frogs, but overall I was quite pleased with the results. In fact, it was one of the rare occasions when my erstwhile lab assistant, Professor Gold Wing of the Mordor Eerie Eagles, now rival, nodded and even caw-cawed in approval. Quite the feather in my cap, if you'll pardon the pun.

Anyway, the point is: the films got quite a lot right.

Jun 30, 2021

I think, it was Waterworld where they went diving and found the Statue of Liberty. So compared to today the sealevel only rose ~50 meters meaning that large portions of land would still be above sealevel.

Level 79

Jun 30, 2021

Agree with several above posters that several of these are not really plot holes. Like the Armageddon one. That's not a plot hole. It's just stupid. It's a Michael Bay movie, so, to be expected. Was Devastator having a giant pair of clanging testicles in Revenge of the Fallen a plothole? No, it was just stupid. (though there are also, always, plot holes in Michael Bay movies. But not every case of stupid/lazy writing is a plot hole.)

Level 68

Jun 30, 2021

Fun quiz, thanks! I think "inglorious" is misspelt in the answer box.

Level 74

Jun 30, 2021

The word (and "bastards") is intentionally misspelled in the title of the film.

Level 79

Jun 30, 2021

The Eagles were very haughty creatures in the books. Iirc the first time they were rescued in the Hobbit (literally right near the eagles’ eyrie) the king of the eagles was not happy about having to carry them anywhere, and I think tried to have them for dinner? Idk could be making that part up. But anyway they didn’t like doing even small favors, and that was a big one already… transportation to Mordor was absolutely out of the question.

Level 78

Feb 22, 2022

I wish people understood that. The Fellowship couldn't "use the eagles" because the eagles were their own evolved race. Imagine in the Harry Potter universe if people thought a plot hole was the wizards not using the centaurs as transportation. In fact, didn't Bane get ticked at Firenze for allowing Harry to ride on his back? The eagles in Tolkien's universe are the same way.

Level 68

Sep 30, 2023

I think its more meant like Tolkien could have written the Eagles in earlier. But no matter, it's already been refuted many, many times in the comments above.

Level 72

Oct 6, 2023

Eagles are not their own race - they are the servants of Manwë, King of the Valar. They do his bidding.

Level 73

Jun 30, 2021

In Citizen Kane, the opening scene shows that his nurse was there to hear his dying words. He died alone in the sense that he had no family or friends.

Level 80

Jun 5, 2022

Nope, the opening shows that the nurse entered the room after he said "Rosebud."

Level 70

Jun 30, 2021

The one with doubling in size and pants don't...that fits more movies than the Incredible Hulk. That happens in almost every movie like that where they grow for some reason.

Level 74

Jun 30, 2021

For Inglourious Basterds, I'm not sure where the idea that there is a plot hole even comes from, since Hitler's box *is* guarded and it's quite a big deal in the movie that Donny and Omar kill the guards quickly enough to enter the box and attack him.

Further, there are guards, but Donny and Omar are allowed into the theater in the first place by subterfuge (not theirs, which is hilariously unsuccessful, but Landa's, who is betraying Hitler and his high command).

This is a great idea for a quiz, but this one doesn't even match what happens in the film.

Level 68

Jun 30, 2021

Right?! I thought upon reading the clue that maybe I was misremembering, but I pretty distinctly recall that two of the basterds dress up as servers and kill the guards. One of them has that weird pistol that sits on his hand, which he covers with a napkin. "Can you make it?!" "I have to."

Level 79

Jun 30, 2021

I looked up the official canon behind the Jurassic Park story... and apparently the dinosaurs were being grown on Isla Sorna before being transported to Isla Nublar where they were building the park. However, even according to that official canon, Isla Sorna wasn't leased from Costa Rica until the early 80s (Jurassic Park takes place in 1993), so at most the T-Rex in the movie would have been 10 years old.

Maybe through genetic manipulation they figured out a way to give all the dinosaurs progeria.

Level 50

Sep 30, 2023

In the book, Dr Wu mentions having engineered the dinosaurs to reach maturity much faster than normal.

Level 67

Jun 30, 2021

Only like 2 or 3 of these are actually plot holes. The rest are just plot contrivances (i.e. very unlikely but still possible)

Level 65

Jul 1, 2021

I would think that the Second Death Star being under construction should be noted, however even at that the lack of guarding of the critical flaw is questionable

Level 69

Jul 5, 2021

Firstly, Hitler did have guards outside the door and they were killed by Donowitz and Omar. Secondly, the eagles couldn't have flown into mordor because the eye of sauron would have seen them coming, it was only after the ring was destroyed that the eagles arrived.

Level 57

Jul 12, 2021

The eagles aren't a plot hole

Jul 29, 2021

I guessed Glorious instead of Inglorious...

Level 71

Nov 16, 2021

Eagles isn't a plothole. The repercussions of the eagles being corrupted by the ring would be huge. That's why Gandalf never touched the ring, someone as powerful as them being used for evil would be catastrophic.

Level 46

Jun 13, 2022

home alone isn't really a plot hole, they were in Paris, the phones probably couldn't handle long distance calls.

Level 57

Apr 10, 2025

It's entirely possible they fixed the phone line before he ordered the pizza. The engineer said it could take a couple of days but we never actually see them working on it, so who knows how long it took. And Peter got through to the Murphy's answering machine just fine.

Mar 5, 2023

When does Aladdin have to wish to be a prince again? If I remember correctly, he uses his first wish to be a prince, he "uses" his second wish to be rescued from drowning, and then he uses his third wish to set Genie free.

Level 80

Sep 30, 2023

Right, at the end he chooses to use his final wish to free the genie instead of wishing to turn himself into a prince again. The supposed "plot hole" is that the characters were saying that he had to become a prince again in order to marry Jasmine, even though he had already earlier wished to be a prince. This ignores the fact that most-powerful-wizard Jafar turned him back into street-rat Aladdin in between.

Level 55

Sep 30, 2023

My thoughts on some of these are -

I thought Bruce Banner had elastic pants.

Indiana Jones didn't necessarily show the nazis where to go, he wanted glory but was caught.

Sauron would've seen the eagles and the ring may have corrupted them.

The Death Star II was unfinished and they flew into a construction port, also it was being built alongside the first one which is why the operational version was ready only a couple of years later.

Hitler had guards, but they were killed.

Level 77

Sep 30, 2023

Many of these aren't plot holes.

Some don't even make sense if you actually watch the film.

So I get all the flames in the comment.

Well done trolling, Quizmaster...

Hitler's box isn't guarded in Inglorious Basterds? It definitely is, by two guards. Where does this plot hole come from as it's totally wrong. They're killed by Donny and Omar dressed as waiters with the classic "When I kill that guy you got 30 feet to get to that guy. Can you do it?" "I have to" quote. Then "Champagne?" and they kill the guards during the big shootout scene in the movie playing inside the theatre so no one hears the gunshots coming from outside.

Maybe the quizmaster should watch the movies before making plot hole assumptions.

RE "Armageddon"'s one: apparently Ben Affleck did bring that up with Michael Bay. Michael Bay told him to "[bleep] off".

Is this like the april fools quizzes where none of these are actually plot holes?

In Star Wars Return of the Jedi they didn't recreate the Death Star with the same flaw.......they just made it easier to destory because now a whole ship could fit inside LOL

Well, it was still under construction.

Wouldn’t Hitler’s guards guarding the exits to the theatre also work for Sound of Music? I guess it’s not Hitler specifically, just Nazis.

The second Death Star didn’t have the same weakness as the first, it was just unfinished, so there was a clear path to the core

they didn’t rebuild the Death Star with the same flaw, the rebels attacked it while it was still under construction

It's been a while since I watched the movie, but I'm pretty sure there were guards outside the door of Hitler's suite in Inglorious Basterds. They had to wait until there was gunfire in the movie and then they shot them with those weird knuckle guns.

And this isn't the only question that doesn't seem like it belongs on this quiz. I'm wondering if the person who made this quiz even watched some of these movies.

I have never watched any Star Wars instalment, but I thank Family Guy for previously providing the answer, as I see Stewie Griffin as Darth Vader arguing that a very small one-meter hole, when hit, it'll blow the entire ship to smithereens.

They used growth acceleration on the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park

Sorry to be 'That Guy' but Independence Day isn't a plot hole, as the Aliens had hacked into OUR computers and satellites, thus allowing for Jeff Goldblum to hack them back.

Imagine if Jeff goldblum actually did this. Not his character, he can just do this in real life
