Line 108:
** When Ash escapes from The Pit, as spiked walls close on it. Several minutes later, the monster from the pit climbs out, despite the walls still being closed, and Ash shoots it with his shotgun that he didn't have a few seconds earlier, causing it to fall back into the pit and land in the water below.
** After Ash takes the [[Tome of Eldritch Lore|Necronomicon]] and wakes the eponymous army of the dead, he rides back to the castle from the graveyard in what seems like an hour or so. But later on when a scout reports on the army's position, he says that it will take a few ''days'' for them to arrive.
* In his review of ''[[Memento]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20121003112235/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20010413/REVIEWS/104130303/1023%2F20010413%2FREVIEWS%2F104130303%2F1023 Roger Ebert] wonders, "If the last thing the main character remembers is his wife dying, then how does he remember that he has short-term memory loss?" In actuality, this was a subtle plot point, and Ebert missed the multiple possible explanations hinted at. Leonard has "Remember Sammy Jankis" tattooed somewhere he'll see regularly. Every time he reads it h remembers who Sammy Jankis was (he can still remember things that happened before his injury) and he's able to piece together what's happened to him, even if he forgets that he read it a few minutes later. It's also possible that Leonard is {{spoiler|capable of remembering through repetition, just like Sammy does in his story.}} There's a popular, and plausible, theory that Leonard {{spoiler|doesn't even have memory loss at all. He's just deluded himself into thinking he does.}} Surprisingly enough, people in [[Real Life]] with anterograde amnesia are aware of their disability, so this is a plot point that didn't need to be explained in the first place.
* A big plot hole occurs at the end of ''[[Alone in the Dark (2005 film)|Alone in The Dark]]''. The Xenos (the aliens that Carnby has been fighting for half of the movie) are supposed to be weak against light, but he and Cedrac are attacked by them in broad daylight after they emerge from underground.
* ''[[Die Hard 2]]'': The terrorists hold the planes hostage in the air by shutting down the lights at Dulles Airport. Given the amount of time and fuel the planes are depicted as having, they could have easily made it to dozens of other civilian or military airports. Any of the '''three''' other airports in the DC area could have warned the airborne planes with their own non-crippled radio system and then the terrorist threat evaporates.
