That's not really a plot hole, just bad writing. There otheres examples of that in TDK.
It's not bad writing. The Joker liked to manipulate people into hurting each other instead of doing it himself. Even when he went on a destructive rampage he warned people and gave them time to evacuate from the areas he destroyed.
There is no reason that he would have harmed the people at the party.

#2 is a legit plot hole
in the extended version we find out that he's an experienced military strategist. i think he was an expert on building defenses or something

The Star Trek that came out 4 years ago with the whole Spock time travel scene with future Spock & Kirk. Basically any movie dealing with time travel and then going back to the present day . I didn't understand if time travel Spock knew if present Spock knew he met Kirk in the future...and then wouldn't Kirk going forward in time & meeting old Spock change the present??
From the gist of most time-travel movies that I've watched, there now becomes two people, an original and a time travel version.
So when original Spock meets time travel Spock it doesn't create some sort of instantenous change that changes everything. They basically just become two people going forward.
That's how I rationalize it haha.

The Plot Hole: The biggie. The one on which the narrative of six films and countless spin-offs - nay, the entire history of cinema over the past thirty-odd years - rests.
We're talking, of course, about the incredulous decision of a Star Destroyer commander to let an escape pod go, during the middle of a pitched battle to locate the blueprints that will give the Rebel Alliance the upper hand.
Had George Lucas let the pod sneak off undetected it’d have been fine, but he draws attention to the damn thing by having the officer scan it for "signs of life." In a storyworld populated by robots.
The sensible thing to do would have been to blow it out of the sky just in case.
Reasonable Explanation: The officer is a Rebel sympathiser. Has to be.
He should have been awarded a posthumous medal in the film’s final scene. He did more to help the cause than Chewbacca anyway.

None of these three are plot holes, they are just leaps in logic and two of them are explained by the Director's Cut.

Actually, this is not true. They have learned that they are all "infected." That was the big revelation at the end of Season 3. Shane is killed by a gunshot wound without being bitten or scratched. He then reanimates, showing that the "infection" turns corpses and not humans into zombies. It seems that the bites and scratches have been the source of bleeding and normal blood infection which led to their deaths. The elevated temperatures and illness could be the result of any number of known (in reality) infections.
quote:
Like I said, they realize that they are all infected when Shane reanimates. That said, I'm not 100% sure why he needed to cut the leg. If you think logically, though, a zombie's mouth is probably nastier than a gila monster. So, whereas it may not "turn you," it may infect your blood, causing you to die slowly, then reanimate.
Spoilers
The bites turn people. Always did, always have from what they've shown, and by everyone's reaction to a bite. All that was revealed in Season 1 and later on by Rick killing Shane was that even if you avoided being bitten but died through other means, you were already infected and therefore, no matter what, you WILL become a zombie at some point.
The Walking Dead's gap in logic has nothing to do with becoming a zombie through bite or death, both are possible. It has to do with "infected blood" and why that causes people to turn via bite (as Hershel would have if the leg was not removed, as we presume infected blood from the bite would have eventually made its way to his brain, etc.) but doesn't cause people to turn when they put zombie blood in their mouths all the time.
One could suppose there is something "special" about the bite itself. That would explain everything, since if everyone is already a carrier, then blood from killing zombies/arrows in the mouth wouldn't matter, but a "speed agent" in the bite is what is special about it. As if the regular infection everyone has can be staved off by the immune system until death, but the bite carries a more powerful version that defeats your immune system and turns you immediately.

Putting something in your mouth is not as bad as putting it directly into your blood stream. That's all I'm saying. Like I said, think of them like gila monsters. It is not venomous, but the mouth is so rotten that it is poisonous if it bites.

The bite itself IS the "speed agent." Think of the old west. You can put a bullet in your mouth and be fine. However, if you get shot with that bullet, whatever bacteria is there or nearby is now introduced directly to the circulatory system. Then you start getting severe pain at the site of the wound, inflammation of the tissue, and a high fever.
Cutting off Hershel's leg gave them a more controlled wound to treat. They certainly don't have the medical expertise to rebuild his eaten Achilles tendon.

***Further Walking Dead Spoiler***
Look at the most recent developments. Michonne was shot Merle, and subsequently had to gut a walker standing over her. This covered her in zombie blood and guts with an open wound from the bullet graze. The bullet wound was superficial enough to treat and for her to survive, though. Thus, she's not a zombie.

I don't know if its a plot hole but i hate how inconsistent Wolverines senses are. Sometimes he can smell and hear anything and then other scenes he'll get snuck up on. Esp in his movie where he didn't smell his girlfriend whom he thought was dead.
Same can be said for Thor. He can go toe to toe with Hulk and yet struggle to put away iron man or Capt America.

Not a plot hole, but something that always jumps out at me - In Star Trek Generations, when the bad guys fires a rocket at the sun, everyone stands there and watches it hit the star as if its hanging a couple hundred feet off the ground.
Might have been addressed in the thread already but this is a plot hole. The whole reason Picard beams down is bc Worf says they cant guarantee to get a lock on & to shoot down the rocket before it hits the sun.
Since the planet is roughly earth like let's assume its roughly the same distance as our planet to its sun. It takes light 8 minutes to reach earth from the sun. Worf can't get a phaser lock on a rocket going sub light speed in that time?
/nerd rant over.

nbelievable how many of you have no idea what a plothole is.
This is a plothole:
In "Friday" Craig gets up and pours himself a giant bowl of cereal....goes over to the fridge, grabs the milk....walks over to the bowl to pour the milk into his GIANT bowl of cereal (rubs his hands together rejoicing how awesome the bowl of cereal AND MILK will be) and two drops of milk drip out.
HOW IN THE frick DID HE NOT NOTICE THE CARTON WAS EMPTY??? ARE WE TO BELIEVE CRAIG CANT PERCEIVE WEIGHT????
plothole...

Stupid arse Kevin Spacey movie that was spoofed in the end of Scary Movie.

Gone Baby Gone when the police couldn't find the girl's body in the quarry; and this caused nobody to be suspicious. Come on. It's not an ocean or even a large lake. There are no currents to move the body. And it's lined with rock instead of mud so the visibility in a quarry is usually very good. Unless everybody in the movie is dumber than dirt this is a serious plot hole.

Really? That would just be advertising to Sauron, the single most powerful being alive in Middle Earth, that Frodo had the ring and to guard the entrance to Mt. Doom.
The entire point of sending Frodo is that Sauron would never suspect Gandalf would give the One Ring to a Hobbit and then try to destroy it. He thought that Gandalf, or Aragorn, or someone else would get the ring and then try to use it because Sauron couldn't conceive that others didn't value absolute power as much as he did.
