In Moneyball when they fly over the Oakland Coliseum, the top of the arena says Oracle, and it wasn't named the Oracle Arena until 2006, 4 years after when the movie took place. It's always bothered me that they didn't edit that out. But perhaps I'm too invested in Oakland sports, I dunno.
In The Lion King, why do animals such as antelope and zebras gladly show up to worship the lions, when the lions are the ones who hunt them for dinner?
Also, wouldn't Simba and Nala be half-siblings since Mufasa was the only adult male in the pride?

i take issue w/ other parts of Moneyball but they have to due w/ location. you don't go from dwntwn Oakland the barren central valley in 30 minutes UNLESS there is NOT A SOUL on 580 lol

Even then I think you have to be driving the Batmobile.
Not really a plot hole but something that has always bothered me...in Goonies in the skeleton piano scene Andi is reading the music and asks if a note is an a-sharp or a b-flat. THEY ARE THE SAME NOTE. Did NOBODY on the set of this movie read music or was it just to make Andi look stupid?
YES!! I say this all the time too! And this movie was on this past weekend and I had it on in the background and it bugged me again, lol

In the Wizard of Oz, where the fuck does the red road lead to?
I once read a theory that since Dorothy is unconscious, the yellow brick road is the path that will eventually lead her back to life and the red brick road leads to death. This thread is the first time I've heard where it actually leads, which is not nearly as interesting.

Hahaha, my H and I make the same observation each time we watch it. Music nerds unite.
(I'm pretty sure the a sharp/b flat thing is supposed to be a joke - at least I hope so)
Why is releasing a T-Rex the solution to the big dinosaur? Now you have a T-Rex loose. Did T-Rexes become big playful guard dogs within three movies because they were definitely an issue about two decades ago. [/spoilers]
THANK YOU! I spent the entire car ride home bitching to H that somehow that was a solution to a large, scary dinosaur running loose. How does that solve anything exactly? Because most of the guests are still on that damn island...but apparently she's a big fluffy bunny that does our bidding now.

This was in Big Bang Theory (I didn't notice it before); but in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones is completely irrelevant to the plot. The Nazis would have still found the Ark and melted when they opened it if Indy had never even been there; he didn't start or stop anything.
ETA: I'm better at anachronisms than plot holes. DH does not like watching historical movies with me because I'm always yelling at the screen or double checking something.

I remember hearing this too but I guess I don't agree that he was irrelevant because he's the one that found it. I'm not convinced the Nazis would have found it without him.
It really irritates me when a movie is supposed to take place in my city but it's clearly filmed elsewhere or they give directions and talk about places that don't actually exist. That stupid movie hall pass is an example.
OMG, they did this in Fringe. There was an eps supposedly in Newton, MA. The city they showed was a dump, I'm like have you ever been to Newton, there isn't a run down abandoned factory there.

I could not watch Sleepy Hollow for that reason. I kept yelling at the tv.
I stopped watching SH after the first season when they found that underground tunnel system and it was freaking brand new! It's been abandoned for however long, no one supposedly knew about it,and the stairs, railings, walkways were all shiny and new, and there wasn't a speck of dust. I yelled at my tv and stopped watching from then out.
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???
Gargamel made Smufette. I'm pretty sure the smurf kids (Sassette and them) are Gargamel's creations too.
How all the male Smurfs came into existence, I do not know.
The smurfs are delivered by the stork, and are mother earths children

I yell at the TV every time this scene comes on. My H is amused at how much it bothers me.
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.
I don't think it had to be connected at the exact moment, it just had to be connected at the time of the strike. If I remember correctly, they wanted to have it hooked up in advance, but the tree snapped the cable or something? So he's trying to get it up there in time and manages to get it right in time. Because movies.
I think we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about Marty driving the Delorian into the cable at the exact moment of the lightning strike. Not Marty or Doc reconnecting the snapped cable.
They knew from the stopped clock that lightning would strike the clock tower at 10:04 p.m. ... but on a clock with no second hand there was no way to know whether it struck precisely at 10:04:00 (as appears to be the case here), or 10:04:15 for example.

Bedford Falls in It's a Wonderful Life is supposed to be based off Seneca Falls (upstate NY). there are other indications also like when the bank examiner says he wants to be able to finish up so he can spend Christmas with his family in Elmira (also upstate). But when George is giving Viola (??) (the floozy in the hat ) money because she is going to NYC he refers to it as "up there". Annoys the hell out of me.
In "Ground Hogs Day": Bill Murray doesn't age. But he is able to develop the muscle memory to learn to play piano. You can't have one without the other.

The guy gets stuck in a never ending loop for 10 years. I think if the rules of the universe can be bent for that to happen, then a little muscle memory ain't no thang.
Frozen: Why aren't Anna and Elsa feral children from never stepping outside the palace or interacting with anyone? (Same question applies to Rapunzel.) Who was running Arendelle before Elsa's coronation and why was Hans in charge instead of that person when Anna goes after Elsa?
I'm tardy to this party, but my first answer to the OP was going to be the whole Frozen movie is one giant plot hole. How did Elsa end up with powers? How did they know the magic stump trolls could cure her? This movie irritates me.

Like Juno, which shows mountains as she's driving through central MN?
Or Fargo (the TV show) that shows skyscrapers in downtown Duluth?
I'm watching this right now with DD. I'm just going to assume Eric doesn't know how to read. He's awfully pretty. Seems like he probably used his status/looks to get through school.
He's a prince. He probably has servants that read for him.

Music errors drive me INSANE in movies. I refuse to believe no one involved in the movie from start to finish has no musical education whatsoever.
One of the biggest musical errors for me is in August Rush (which is kinda terrible but I LOVE IT) when August first sits down at the piano (or organ? Can't remember) in the orphanage and plays a couple notes. On the screen, the second note he plays is lower than the first by a good 3rd or 4th. But you hear a note that is quite obviously a higher pitch than the first. That very nearly ruined the whole movie for me the first time I saw it and I still have to smack my forehead and scream "OH COME ON!!" when I see it. Bozos.

Supernatural: They're "from" Lawrence, Kansas. There was a time that Dean had a 785 area code. But for awhile, the license plate had Sedgwick county plates. No where near Lawrence and has a different area code. I was reading the wikipedia page on Supernatural and the creator was thorough in making sure there wasn't a character created with the same name as a real person (i.e. they were supposed to be the Harrison's, but there was a Sam Harrison already, so he changes it to Winchester. John was supposed to be Jack, but there was a Jack Winchester, so he became John) so it was surprising something like that got missed.
Little Miss Sunshine bugs me for a lot of reasons. I hated that movie.
They lift up the body of the grandfather way too easily.
What kind of teenager worships Nietzsche and wants to join the military? How would they not notice he was color blind until he was like 16? Don't they check for that in schoool?
I find it so disturbing and not cute that the grandfather taught her a strip tease for her performance.
