Plot hole: In the scene where bad cop says "security cameras picked up this" it shows the footage of Emmet "convulsing with the strange piece." If they had cameras down there, then they would've already found the piece of resistance. (00:08:10 - 00:10:10)

The Lego Movie (2014)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Chris Miller, Phil Lord
Starring: Elizabeth Banks, Will Ferrell, Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Will Arnett, Alison Brie
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Emmet drives to work, you get Emmet's view of the dashboard with his hand switching on the radio. The car at that moment has no front window, perhaps to make the car look bigger from the inside. (00:04:50)
Trivia: When Wildstyle throws off a biker during the motorcycle chase, the biker lets out a Wilhelm scream.
Question: In the end of the movie, what does Vitruvius mean when he says "I liked Emmet before it was cool"?

Answer: The "it was cool" part means how Emmett saved the day and how his sacrifice made a good final battle. He's basically saying, even before Emmett made himself a hero, he still liked him anyway.
