Big Game

Plot hole: When Holmes starts the human chess game, he says, 'Who had entered the lists, the king's pale knight.' This refers to moving the white knight of the king's side. However, the ritual does not mention to which square it should move. Still having three possible squares to move to (since the knight is on its initial square and the game has already started), Holmes knows and indicates that the knight (Dr. Sexton) must move to square F3.

Big Game

Plot hole: When the sergeant takes control of the truck, Dietrich directs him to approach to crush Indy between the staff car and the truck, which takes time and allows Indy to make his famous scene. However, Dietrich could easily have shot him and arrived in Cairo with the Ark in his possession. (01:27:40)

Suggested correction: Shooting means risking hitting the truck's engine, which means finding new transport for the ark. All of which takes time off their schedule. Bad guys are always on a schedule.

Big Game

Plot hole: In Archimedes' tomb, Teddy hides on top of a statue. Helena sees him and keeps eye contact for several seconds, but none of the Nazis notice it (the Nazi with the fedora is looking in exactly the same direction as Helena and Indy, to give an example). (01:53:34)

Big Game

Plot hole: On the dock at Geheimhaven, when the soldier discovers Indy, he stands up, coming fully into view. However, no-one sees him kicking and knocking out the soldier who discovered him (the Nazis on the dock and on the submarine are looking in Indy's direction). (01:39:50)

SeƱor China Boy - S2-E38

Plot hole: Diego instructs Bernardo to use sign language to talk to the Chinese. The problem is that Bernardo shows the Chinese things that he could not have known if he were really deaf and dumb (where the Chinese came from, for example). All this in front of Sergeant Garcia.
