The Rise of Skywalker: the bomber scene at the beginning of the movie... There's no gravity in space so how are bombs dropping from one ship onto another?
There's a ton of other issues with that movie, just picking that one out because it happens so early.

Acthually...

Is it crazy to think there's some form of society in Mordor?

The last 20 minutes of John Wick 2. Apparently 90% of the city of New York are all members of the assassins' guild.

Like the space horses running on top of a spaceship in space?

Why didn’t Rose move over and let Jack lay on the door or why couldn’t they take turns?
She threw a $200 mill piece of jewelry into the ocean over a one night stand.
Rose was the villain of that movie.

Terminator - The first two movies violate both the bootstrap and grandfather paradoxes.
Bootstrap Paradox - Skynet is created due to the innovations discovered thanks to the Terminator that Skynet sent back in time (Terminator 2).
Grandfather Paradox - If Skynet actually succeeds in killing John Connor in the past, then it will have no knowledge of John Connor in the future, meaning it would have had no reason to send a Terminator back into the past (literally every movie except the last one; even the knowledge that Kyle Reese is John Connor's future/past baby daddy violates this).
For an ultra-intelligent AI, Skynet is pretty fricking stupid.
Absolutely amazing movies that I rewatch all the time. Doesn't mean their initial premise doesn't hold up to even a little scrutiny though.

Back to the Future III
Marty rupture the fuel Line on the DeLorean.
Doc says there won't be a filling station for another several decades
Um, you have an entire other DeLorean (the one Doc took back to 1855).
Swap the fuel lines and siphon out some gas. You only need enough to get to 88mph one freaking time.

I'm going with Luke Skywalker hiding on Darth Vader's home planet and using a laptop to infect an alien system with a computer virus in Independence Day.

Sticking with Lord of the Rings. I don't remember which one it was maybe the second one they were saved by these huge Eagles that took then a long distance away from the Orcs.
Why not just have these Eagles fly them to the final destination..

Because at that point, Sauron’s power was destroyed and his forces including the winged Nazgul, were in ruin.

I like math
a bar of gold is about 27 lbs
gold in 1998 was approx $300.00 an oz
$129,600 per gold bar
140 billion would be approx 1,080,000 gold bars
29.2 million lbs of Gold
Average dump truck capacity is 20k lbs
Need approximately 1450 Dump trucks

A Few Good Men is a movie that i love but it has several glaring issues, to include
1. the two Marines getting convicted of "conduct unbecoming of a Marine" which isnt a real charge
2. Marines saluting indoors
3. some made up thing where you are apparently supposed to salute an officer when he leaves the room?

interesting info.
I've never served in the Military, so I did not know the above were plot holes in that movie.
