Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle picture

Plot hole: Sea-Plane tells the group that he has tried twice to cross the canyon and complete the transportation level. It would have made no sense for him to be completing that level moving toward the jaguar if he didn't have the jewel needed to finish the game. Either he had been given a jewel and it was reset back and given to the new players or there could be more than one jewel in the game but he doesn't mention having his own jewel.

The Hitman's Bodyguard picture

Plot hole: The testimony at the beginning is dismissed as "hearsay" by the judge, but it isn't! It's eyewitness testimony under oath - the judge/jury determine how much weight it has as evidence, not dismiss simply because there's no physical evidence supporting it. The testimony itself is the evidence. Hearsay would be if the witness was testifying that someone else told him what happened. But he's saying he saw this with his own eyes - very different.

Suggested correction: There is evidence to make people believe he broke in. The evidence that he was in the building confirmed that he "broke in", and Phoenix's testimony that no-one else was there was enough to convict.

Christmas Inheritance picture

Plot hole: Snow Falls is a minuscule town with no cell phone signal, one cab, a couple buses going in and out all day. A huge snowstorm has been announced, to the point that the Sheriff had to round people up and bring them to the shelters and Jake is housing real refugees from the storm. Later the same night, Jake and Ellie go for a walk in town, which has activity, all stores open, other people taking a nice stroll in the nice foamy fake snow. There shouldn't be a soul in that kind of small town in the middle of the night regardless, but after a storm even? (00:56:10)

Mom and Dad picture

Plot hole: When the kids barricade themselves in the basement, Brent and Kendall try to cut through the door, but Josh fends them off with a pistol he stole from his dad. After that scene, though, the pistol completely disappears from the plot; Brent and Kendall don't consider it when they try to gas the children out, and neither kid appears to have it after they escape into the house.
