Fist of Fury picture

Stupidity: At the end, the police inspector talks Bruce Lee into surrendering, and about 8 people (including the inspector) escort him out of the school. As soon as they're outside, Bruce sees a formation of heavily-armed police preparing to fire. Realizing he was betrayed, Bruce Lee charges, screaming, straight into a barrage of gunfire as the action freezes for credits. However, before the action freezes, there's NO reaction from anyone standing behind Bruce Lee, even though they are directly in the line of fire. Even the police inspector (who knew the police gunmen were waiting outside) just stands there instead of immediately diving for cover.

Life in a Year picture

Stupidity: When Daryn and his friends Sammy and Kiran want to break into the back door to gain admittance to the rap concert, there just happens to be a crowbar on the ground about two feet from the door. (00:07:15)

The Handmaiden picture

Stupidity: Sook-Hee and Hideko manage to escape Japan with the money by disguising Hideko as a man named Go Pan-dol, including forging a passport with Hideko in the disguise, then getting onto a ship headed for Shanghai. Once on the ship, Sook-Hee removes the moustache Hideko was wearing as part of the disguise and then throws it into the ocean. Even if they have escaped all trace of Kouzuki and plan on creating new identities once they have settled in Shanghai, they still need to prove that she is the man in the forged passport that she is posing as if they are to enter the country when they arrive in it. Getting rid of the moustache could potentially ruin the disguise and give away her real gender. Surely it would be a smarter idea to get rid of the moustache once in Shanghai. (02:14:40)

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs picture

Stupidity: Rescuing Manfred and Diego from the giant carnivorous plant, Buck could have cut both wires simultaneously to avoid that unnecessary horrible potential outcome of cutting the wrong one. The wires were stretchable enough for them to have been held together to then get cut at the same time. (00:37:40)

Suggested correction: Cutting both wires simultaneously would probably cause a different effect. Besides, Buck isn't very intelligent.

A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song picture

Stupidity: When Gail shoos Luke off the first day, in fact nobody accompanies him to the door and they discuss the evil plans when he's not even gone nor they even check he is, they just go ahead with the script. It's a rather odd dynamic, very rushed and movie logic-like. Or theater logic, since it's a typical 'exit stage left' moment.

Plus One at an Amish Wedding picture

Stupidity: Dr. April (as well as her patient Mrs. B) is nonchalant when her young nephew Zeke brings his dog hit by an automobile into the hospital. Dr. April, continuing to hold her clipboard, tells her nephew she is "not that kind of doctor" and "what you need is a doctor for animals." The doctor-aunt could have at least taken the dog from Zeke's arms to ease his panic and see if there is something obvious she could do to help the dog. Instead, she walks out with Zeke still carrying the dog. (00:02:45)

Rocketman picture

Stupidity: Central to the plot is the layout of the Mars lander. There are no seats or any restraints of any kind in the lander, which is ridiculous. Spacecraft require safety belts in order to prevent astronauts from being injured during rapid course corrections. Additionally, ordinary rolling desk chairs would not be sent into space, and would certainly not be placed on a landing vehicle.

Near Dark picture

Stupidity: After Caleb escapes the vampire "family" with his father and sister, he undergoes a blood transfusion which cures his vampirism. As soon as this was done Caleb, his father and sister should have fled somewhere else immediately. The vampire "family" knew where he lived as they kidnapped him in front of his home. Instead, they stick around the home, with no obvious intention of leaving. Of course, the vampires track them down and kidnap Sarah.

Carol picture

Stupidity: Carol attempting to shoot the tape recorder was incredibly stupid. If the gun was loaded, it would've ended up much worse for her. Everyone in the motel would've heard. She would've been arrested, possibly jailed, and she would've had to explain why she shot it.

Falling for the Manny picture

Stupidity: Lily says to her mom, Alice, "I wouldn't mind if he [Manny] watches me sometime." Alice replies, "You don't need anyone to watch you, kiddo." Lily is 9 years old. (00:05:05)

Bridget Jones's Baby picture

Stupidity: Bridget car keys are lying on the shelves (again) after she has left her bags at the ATM. I suppose they could have taken her car after all when she and Mark try to think of a way to get to the hospital.

The Christmas Venue picture

Stupidity: Maria passes around paper pads for the "forehead game." Before Cait places her paper on her forehead, she quickly licks it. But Cait has Post-It paper. Licking (wetting) the paper reduces the stickiness of the adherent already on the Post-It. (00:54:55 - 00:55:52)

Hacksaw Ridge picture

Stupidity: When Doss buried the wounded soldier, leaving one eye out made no sense. It did nothing to help him. All it did was make it easier for the Japanese to spot him. It would've made sense to leave his nose and/or mouth out, so he could breathe. He did not need to see.

Suggested correction: A person who is unable to see is more likely to panic. When Doss buried the wounded Marine, he asked him to take a deep breath and trust him. By leaving one eye open, it allowed him to see the gravity of the situation as IJA soldiers walked by and maintain eye contact with Doss who hid under a dead Marine. After the suspicious IJA soldier bayoneted the body over Doss, he looked directly at where the wounded man was buried and kept walking. It was a crude method, but it likely saved them both.

Stupidity: When making apple sauce, just slapping a paper lid on the jar (instead of canning it properly) , would soon result in the jars turning to mold.

Stupidity: Final scene: When Logan is waving to the old man, you will see a person raise his hand up in the middle of the screen and give a Vulcan wave for just a moment. (01:56:15)
