Plot holes tend to be the reason movies are ruined for a lot of viewers, reducing a masterpiece to dust in their eyes. However, certain films are so good, so groundbreaking in their premise, that we allow them to make some ‘mistakes’ in the name of filmmaking. After all, to err is human.
Pointing plot holes remains, as we know, incredibly entertaining, but this selection isn’t meant to criticize. We point at these movies with the utmost affection, signaling that not everything needs to be raised to the ultimate standards; it’s ok to make mistakes, as long as there is passion at work.
Jurassic Park, The Sneaky T-Rex
The T-Rex is established as thunderously loud, yet somehow appears silently inside the visitor center during the climax. It contradicts earlier scenes, but the moment is so iconic that most viewers never question how it got there.
Star Wars: A New Hope, The Death Star Weakness
A galaxy-destroying superweapon has a tiny, exploitable flaw that can destroy it entirely. It’s often cited as too convenient, yet the tension of the trench run makes audiences accept it without much resistance.
