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?

How about the fact that the entire movie, you know when the T-Rex is approaching because it's so big, its footsteps cause everything nearby to shake, but somehow at the ending it manages to sneak up on an entire group of people and two velociraptors inside a closed building without so much as a sound.

Ah. Well that goes with any time travel films, as previously mentioned.

I'll give Looper credit for writing into the script not to think about specifics of the time travel in the film too hard, actually makes it work better.

A couple that always nagged me from a number of movies:

-90s Godzilla, How the HELL does a friggin' Godzilla disappear and hollow out Madison Square Garden without anyone noticing?

- Lost World, how did the crew get killed on the T-Rex boat? One of the guards' arm was severed and still clutching the controls, which means that somehow he weas able to get the T-Rex back into the cargo hold...while it was in the act of eating him

-Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher, to convince his prison mate he had powers, or was Jesus, he has his elementary school self, stab his hands on two spikes, and this makes two scars appear on his hands in the present. However, the entire movie's friggin' PREMISE is based on how a single action, even a small one, will drastically change the future. So somehow a 10 year old kid stab his hands in class while smiling doesn't change anything? He still winds up right there?

Also, the scars should've been there the whole time from the prison mate's perspective, they wouldn't instantly appear. That kind of time travel mechanic would work and be acceptable, but that's not the one they had set up until then through the whole movie
