Last Christmas picture

Plot hole: Kate goes to Tom's flat (the scene where they sit on the floor, she shows him her scar, and then he puts her on the bed). But as she obviously doesn't have a key to his flat and he (spoiler alert) isn't really there, she would not have been able to get into the flat.

P2 (2007)

P2 picture

Plot hole: Jim leaves to attend his family Christmas as evident by his dialogue in the opening scene, and evidently Carl is supposed to be at home to his family in the morning as well, but both are killed by Thomas. When the movie ends with Angela entering the city, it is early morning just before sunrise. Jim and Carl's families would have noted that they were not home on time, and therefore would have had someone searching for them. This makes it implausible that Angela's situation would not have been discovered.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation picture

Plot hole: When cousin Eddie kidnaps Mr. Shirley, Shirley's wife immediately calls the police. She describes Eddie as 'brutish and huge' or something similar, and wearing a 'blue leisure suit'. She also mentions that she got the license plate number of the vehicle. But how did the SWAT Team know to go to the Griswold's house to find Mr. Shirley? Eddie's RV is not registered in the Griswold's name so the plate numbers would not be much help in finding the culprit.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 picture

Plot hole: The police are on the trail of a known psychotic and mass murderer. When they turn up at the house of the mother superior, it's evident Ricky has been there, as the door has been cut open and kicked in. There is no way the other nun would have been able to freely enter the house without police escort, or even get out of the police car, as Ricky had not been located and apprehended. The house is a potential crime scene and she would not have been allowed in.

The Santa Clause picture

Plot hole: Lots of police officers saw Santa flying at the end. This should've caused the world to accept Santa was real.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: From ONE location? Also, people wouldn't believe in Santa that easily.

Suggested correction: It should also be noted there were no cameras to capture the event, and not many eyewitnesses. Only a few neighbours and some officers. Even if these folks now believe in Santa, who's going to believe them? Folks they tell are going to think these folks are making it up, that their brain or someone else played a trick on them, or that they are mentally disturbed.
