well if we're gonna go there

Luke didnt plow Leia before finding out she was his sister. How convenient

Took Vader 20 years to realize he has a fricking son. Vader supposedly the master of the dark side of the force

Vader went out around killing everyone who made him mad unless a skinny old General told him to knock it off.

And of course the whole Death Star being vulnerable to an ion cannon fired down the exhaust pipe.

Wrath of Khan...

Khan quotes a Klingon saying about revenge.

When Kirk found him he had no knowledge of Klingons. He was marooned shortly after. How did he learn of this Klingon saying?

They had control of the Enterprise for a good half of Space Seed, maybe they read up on history during that time?

An old school safety razor style razor blade. Just trace the outline of the hammer on the first page, the start slicing.

Yeah, because they knew Andy had a fricking hammer too. It was prison and they were constantly sneaking shite in.

Here's one I didn't notice by my ubernerd guitar pals were all over. As great as Busey portayed Buddy Holly, and as solid as the movie was on a bunch of other details...

He was using a 70s era Strat in the film.

This. So much.

For me, it's the fact that Paul Walker shifts approximately 23 times in a 1/4 mile drag race in the Fast and the Furious. They are my guilty pleasure movies but damn, that shite is just plain stupid.

In any movie (mainly looking at you though, Point Break) where one guy jumps out of a plane. Then the other guy waits a good 30 seconds to a minute to jump out of the plane and then he is still directly above the first guy like the plane had not been moving the entire time.

One thing that bugs me way more than it should is the way they depict the army of the dead coming to the rescue of Gondor (Minas Tirith?) in Return of the King. They look like frickin' green scrubbing bubbles. Peter Jackson must have lifted that footage directly from a bathroom cleaner commercial.

In a trilogy that excels visually I still can't watch that scene without getting kind of pissed.
