Norm of the North (2016)

Plot hole: When Norm is being interviewed on the talk show, he is shown a clip from when he stopped Mr. Greene in the restaurant with footage that was taken on the phones of the patrons at the restaurant. A strong majority of the footage shown would be virtually impossible to shoot taking into consideration that it was filmed with a camera phone. Some shots take place in a position none of the patrons were even standing in and some shots feature close ups, zoom outs and precise camera movements following the action almost accurately which would have been impossible to film in real time.
