The People Under the Stairs picture

Plot hole: The man goes completely trigger happy shooting all the walls all around his house, trying to kill Fool, Leroy, and Roach at different points. The police come in and don't notice anything wrong. What about the bullet holes all over the place? (00:41:35)

Cool as Ice picture

Plot hole: Vanilla Ice jumps over the fence causing the horse Kat is riding to buck her off to the ground. How does he make his motorcycle jump over a fence when he is riding on a road? I don't think it's possible unless there was a ramp on the side of the road, and I didn't see one.

The Last Boy Scout picture

Plot hole: Mike already knows that Joe is back in town from Vegas because he spoke to him at his office after initially saying he was going to leave a message. He didn't inform Joe's wife because she asks him when he comes home. And Mike was at Joe's house when they talked because he has on the same robe when he steps out the closet from hiding. Why wouldn't he have already left if he knew Joe was back in town?

Suggested correction: Mike didn't think Joe was going to come home, especially if Joe was back in town but at his office. Plus, Joe told Mike he'd meet him at Mike's office in an hour. So, Mike took a shower to get ready. Making a bad decision, when you're in the middle of the poor decision to sleep with your friend's wife, isn't a plot hole.

Showdown in Little Tokyo picture

Plot hole: How was Dolph able to start the car outside Yoshida's house after rescuing Tia? He didn't have a set of keys to that car, and he didn't hotwire it, so how did he get it started so fast, or at all for that matter?

City Slickers picture

Plot hole: Norman, the orphaned new-born calf, could not have survived more than a few days after birth unless he was adopted by a foster-mother cow. The cattle were not dairy cows, and it's obvious the "cowboys" are not providing milk or other sustenance for Norman. Even if he had lived, he would be extremely weak and emaciated and physically unable to run with the herd.

Suggested correction: We see that they are providing said food for Norman, and secondly, we never see if another cow does indeed do exactly that. After all, they can give milk, just not enough to sell, so Norman could indeed get fed.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze picture

Plot hole: Splinter knew all along the name of the company who made the Ooze, and literally sat on this vital piece of information for over a decade just because he was too stupid to simply look the name of the company up, written on giant letters and far from being hidden - he merely had to open the yellow pages, no doubt. Nobody with such a telling piece of evidence about their own origins (the canister that mutated them is in his hands and has the logo of the company with the name spelled out) would be unable to find out something this obvious. (00:22:00)

What about Bob? picture

Plot hole: When Dr. Marvin is trying to get Bob to leave the night before his television interview, he can't leave because it's pouring rain. He also can't drive him because their car was left at the boat dock. However, Dr. Marvin could have easily called for a cab to drive Bob back to where he's staying.

Suggested correction: This assumes that there is a taxi service in the small town in which they reside.

LorgSkyegon

This is obviously a tourist town, which would likely create the need for a taxi service.

Mike Lynch

It also seems to be a fairly secluded and very rich tourist town with cars almost necessary to get around.

LorgSkyegon

Suggested correction: At that time of night in that condition, I highly doubt calling a taxi cab would be easy, especially since Bob lives right down the road, no taxi far away would come just to drive someone a short distance like that.
