Biggest Movie Plot Holes/WTF moments?

Watched Jurassic Park again recently and its filled with them.
One that came to light was near the end when they're back in the control room and Lex is booting up the computer while Grant and Ellie hold the door.
Ellie is freaking out about the gun and how she can't grab it unless she moves. Tim is just standing there with his hands in his hair? Why the hell wouldn't he grab it?
I know this happens a lot in movies, but that particular moment is really forced. If you watch again, he's just standing there in the background jumping up and down like an idiot. Hard for me to understand how the director/editor let that one slide like that.
What are some of your other big holes/WTF moments in well-known movies?

I cant beleive this is not mentioned more often.
the TRex eats the goat, knocks the fence down and climbs out of the paddock
ten minute later when the truck goes over the wall the paddock is miraculously 70 feet deep

Actually, I've seen several lists which mention that as one of the biggest editing/continuity errors in cinema history.

Batman leaps out of a building leaving a room full of innocent citizens at the whim of the Joker to save a dog faced man.
Then presumably he just leaves. Instead of standing at the elevator and waiting for the Joker or going back upstairs to fight him

That isn't a plot hole. It's just a kid acting scared and overwhelmed.
What is an inconsistency in Jurassic Park is the cliff that appears out of nowhere at the T Rex exhibit.

How did an 8-ton T-Rex sneak up on everybody at the end? Not to mention how it even got into the visitor's center in the first place.

I always thought the cliff was on the opposite side of the road from the paddock. I never considered a plot hole because this is what I assumed.

Ariel not being terrified of possibly eating her friends.
Star Fleet not giving a shite about Khan's teleporter in STID.

That Dark Knight shout is great. Did everyone just pack up and go home?
He literally had just survived two of the most ridiculous attack scenes in the movie.. Also survived 10,000 volts. Pretty sure he was ok to grab the shotgun.
Here is the cliff explained in a diagram. And its been asked 100 times.

The meeting between Cypher and Smith in The Matrix grates on my nerves a little more every time I see the film

Spielberg knew about the cliff continuity error, but didn't give a frick because it added suspense. He knows how to make better movies than you. DWI.

I actually liked the new Star Trek, but it was absolutely riddled with logic / plot problems.
One of the biggest being that the Romulans were in the same area of space for 20 years waiting for Spock to appear. Many reasons that made no sense since Spock went into the wormhole FIRST.
The plot problem was brought about because of editing and story rewrites. In the original script, the Romulan ship was damaged in the intial fight, then captured by Klingons.
They were held captive for 20 years.
That of course opened up a whole new slew of problems like how did they escape after 20 years and it sure seems like the Klingons could have fixed the Romulan ship and dominated space for 20 years.
So they cut that whole bit out and we just see the Romulans doing nothing for 20 years just waiting for Spock.
I won't even bring up the Romulan super drill and Vulcan having ZERO interplanetary weapons to stop the drill.
I'll toss out the whole plot of Trek Nemesis which also went through a million rewrites in which Piccard's clone was captured and made a slave to the Romulans yet that somehow made him hate the Federation and want to destroy Earth instead of Romulus.

That's more reason why he wouldn't be alright to grab the shotgun. That's some traumatizing stuff. Either way even if you think he should have, it isn't a plot hole.
