interesting plot holes in movies

[trenton]

This one should be entertaining. It is very difficult to cover up every possible plot hole when creating an alternative universe. Feel free to share your own. I will give examples from Harry potter.

1. Troll in the dungeon

Dumbledore told everyone to proceed to their dorms, but the slytherin dorm is located in the dungeon. Dumbledore clearly hates them and wants them to die.

2. The lack of background checks.

Hogwarts allowed voldemort, a fraud, a ware wolf, a death eater, and umbridge into the position of defense against the dark arts. They have a bad track record with this. Maybe the ministry of magic is supposed to take care of it, but the wizard world is corrupted by money. Death eaters would have had to bribe the ministry of magic to get this to work. This would close the plot hole and it makes sense if malfoy and his dad are rich.

3. Wizard chess alternative

Most people don't notice these things because most people are not chess players. Interestingly, he could have sacrificed Harry. The story could have been more intense if Harry said "don't sacrifice yourself, sacrifice me instead!" Not really a plot hole because the final position was organized correctly and Nh3+ worked, but sacrificing Harry was technically better. In the final position, Ron needed either the knight or the bishop to cover the g1 square for checkmate. Either could have been sacrificed for checkmate.

The biggest problem for the crew is the fact that they have to take the place of missing pieces. If you know the chess theory, you know that white can easily exploit the fact that black cannot trade these pieces gaining a huge advantage. If the enchanted chess board were smart, it would have forced exchanges, and the crew would be dead immediately. If black can't trade these pieces, it is a huge handicap and most people don't know how bad of a handicap it is. It is worse than being down a queen. In fact, you could even leave the white queen open to being captured, knowing that a knight or bishop would die as a result. The white queen is therefore immune to capture, giving white a forced win from the start of the game. Ron was losing from move one if white exploited this strategy to kill the entire crew. I found this entertaining enough to open this thread.

I know there are funny plot holes in star wars as well. Interestingly people take these plot holes very seriously and get heated and angry about it. What plot holes do you know of?
