How the heck did Darth Vader or Padme not know they was having twins? Did they not have droid ultrasounds? How can he sense Luke, but meet with Leia without ever knowing that's his kid. The force is not strong with him, apparently.
Also, why do the Storm Troopers even wear that stupid armor if it doesn't even protect them from Ewok spears?
Beauty and the Beast is another terrible one for plot. How did everyone in the village forget about the prince and not know the castle was there? Is it a monarchy or not? Also, if they've been under the spell for 10 years, and the rose blooms when the prince turns 21, that means he was 11 years old when the fairy came and punished him for not letting strangers in the castle. ALSO if he was 11 years old, who is the portrait on the wall that he tears up of???
All of cinderellas magical clothing/carriage/etc disappeared at midnight so how does she still have a glass slipper to pull out when that one breaks? And how did that first one not just turn back into her normal work shoe, for hat matter?

Not quite a plot hole, but Beauty and the Beast related: why does everyone get all swoony-swoon over him "giving" Belle the library?
It was a room that's been in his house THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME! He didn't "do" a damn thing except let her have access to ONE fucking room in a house THAT SHE ALREADY LIVES IN.
Well and of course there's always the Ariel thing. She can sign a contract, but she can't write Eric a note that says "yes, I'm the one that saved your ass."
Also, when he discovers her on the beach and is all, "It's you!!" but then she can't say her name, he's all, "Oh never mind. Couldn't be the same red-haired girl from 3 days prior."
IS LARYNGITIS NOT A THING IN ERIC'S PRINCELY REALM?
Back to the Future 3. When Marty travels back in time, the DeLorean's gas tank is hit by an arrow and drained of gas so they can't use it to travel back to 1985. Instead of builidng a time machine out of a train, why don't they just siphon the remaining gas off the DeLorean that Doc hid in the cave for Marty to find? Not like it was going to be in the tank 100 years later and Marty had to have it towed out of the cave anyway.

I have complaints about the Jurassic World movie but I'm not sure they would be considered spoilers. Is there a CEP god out there who can grant me permission? Should I just type "spoiler alert" or are we just sticking to older movies?

Oh,Oh, just thought of another one. Over the weekend we were watching Hostage with Bruce Willis. The house the kids "break into" has security up the butt, the damn house is built into the side of the freaking mountain, but, but the father doesn't have a guard at the gate or an electric gate that requires a code or someone to buzz the gate open!

spoiler tags.
This is done by typing [ spoiler ] whatever you're spoiling [ / spoiler ], without the spaces.
That way anyone who doesn't want spoilers won't see them but the rest of us can read/comment.

It killed me that this company would accept a dinosaur without knowing what it actually was. How are you supposed to construct a proper cage with sufficient security controls if you don't know what type of dinosaur it is? I mean really, higher walls? What if that fucker can climb or fly? How would you even know since you agreed to let it be super secret? And it took at least an overnight to get emergency boats to evacuate the island. Who was in charge of putting together the emergency evacuation plan? That person needs to be fired.
Does the Jurassic World movie talk about why they kept on pressing with the dinosaur park after 3 giant failures?
I spent most of the movie muttering: "Who thought this was a good idea?" "Who thought there needed to be a petting zoo?" "Did no one see what happened the last time?"

Also, in the first one, how did Marty get lucky enough to connect the Delorian to the cable at the exact moment the lightning struck the clock tower? They knew the minute it would strike but not the precise second.
TV-related, the How I Met Your Mother finale (and the last season in general) was chock-full of plot holes.
One would think they wouldn't be able to get insurance coverage, at the very least.
I work for an insurance agent. I've lost count of how many movies my job has ruined for me just with "Well, their insurance company CLEARLY isn't going to pay for that!"
What was up with the non-lethals and the bullet proof vests on the team that went after the dinosaur? You're telling me you're going to hunt down some huge as dinosaur with some bean bags and pellet guns/ And what are the bullet proof vests for? Were they expecting the dinosaur to shoot back???
Not about movies, per se, but it has always pissed me off that if Smurfs are three apples high, and they live in two story mushroom houses, why can't that damn cat ever find them? it's not like they are microscopic.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

Can we also mention that there's 1 chick? And then when there's finally kids (where did they come from btw???), there's only one more girl. Who are their parents???

Would have made the movie a little cooler wouldn't it?
