	I'm still not very good at making these, If there is anything wrong leave a comment and I will fix it

	I thought it was an interesting idea. I think I would make the Plot Hole column a little wider, as most of the titles are short. I'd add punctuation to the end of your sentences and an apostrophe to the first clue "protagonist's family." Finally, the fourth one is a giveaway because you use the character names. Those are just little things - I enjoyed the quiz!

	That Stepford Wives one is by far the most ridiculous.

	caligal14:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 13:50 GMT	9 points
	For the Back to the Future one (even though I have wondered that many times myself) the first thing I thought of was 17 Again. I've never seen so maybe it doesn't work, but maybe accept that? Also, for the 'Taken' one, maybe 'Catch Me if You Can'?

	Sally:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 15:10 GMT	10 points
	@cardigal14, I first thought of Mrs. Doubtfire for the first one, even though Robin Williams' character wasn't the mom's ex-boyfriend, but rather her husband. I totally agree with Catch Me If You Can, I was puzzled by that, haha

	The Rosebud thing in Citizen Kane is commonly regarded as a plothole but it's made completely clear in the film that Kane's manservant overheard his last word, and even heard him mutter it before his death which makes it more likely he would recognise it.

	JohnJF:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 15:45 GMT	-1 points
	Technically, for 17 Again you would have to substitute boyfriend for husband, but it pretty much still works for Back to the Future.

	Im not sure whether the Dark Knight one is right or not. I think maybe it was a back-up plan, just in case he was caught. I think his original plan was to kill Harvey Dent, and the bomb in the Police station etc. was just a back-up. Just my interpretation. Anyway, very good quiz, really enjoyed it.

	showers1:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 17:07 GMT	14 points
	The Dark Knight one isn't a pot hole. The Joker was trying to blow up the armored van that was carrying Harvey Dent, and then Bruce accelerated really quickly so that the Batmobile would be hit instead.

	Golden:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 17:28 GMT	1 point
	I think that this is a great idea.. and you have also demonstrated in this quiz just how difficult it is to execute really well. I think you have made a good effort, and it just needs tweaking here and there. Particularly like Sixth Sense, Citizen Kane clues.

	johnlk:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 17:29 GMT	14 points
	I don't think the Sixth Sense one is a plot hole. I think it's fairly clear from the film that the deads' perception is distorted.

	johnlk:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 17:30 GMT	14 points
	Independence Day isn't a plot hole, either. The way the aliens were defeated was unlikely and implausible, but not contradictory.

	johnlk:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 17:33 GMT	2 points
	Did he fly commercial back to the US in Taken? Couldn't he have taken his ex's husband's private jet back, as well? I don't remember scenes on the plane. That being said, even if he took the private jet back, he shouldn't have been allowed to leave the country, anyway, so it's still a plot hole.

	brendonb:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 18:57 GMT	24 points
	You already have a Shyamalan up there, but Signs is the ultimate plot-hole movie: The aliens are allergic to water, and for some reason they chose to try to take over a planet with rain. What.

	jdimaggio:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 18:57 GMT	5 points
	Never mind the haters, this was a great quiz.

	Igon:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 19:03 GMT	0 points
	I was thinking about adding that one, but wording was an issue. 17 again and war of the worlds will now be accepted, and I made notations that some aren't actually plot holes by definition. If anyone feels there are better plot holes that I didn't mention, leave a comment and I will make a new quiz

	HalJordan:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 19:19 GMT	5 points
	@Igon: you read the cracked.com article, didn't you?

	EyeKanFly:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 19:36 GMT	-1 points
	The Star Wars one is not an actual plot hole. Han was actually in the asteroid field for possibly more than a day, and then they arrived at Cloud City and stayed for a few days while Luke was on Dagobah.

	TIMTEBOW15:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT	-1 points
	i thought it said pot holes at first

	zdub:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 20:53 GMT	1 point
	joker doesn't have a plan, he's a mad dog remember?

	Strattosphere:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 21:28 GMT	0 points
	I don't get what you're trying to say in Back to the Future.

	smsdhgc:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 21:45 GMT	1 point
	great quiz!

	kraffcook:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 00:51 GMT	1 point
	Doesn't work for 17 Again because she DOES realize he looks like her husband, and he just works to convince her otherwise

	Back to the future---Lura89--I disagree--there is a plot hole. The ex-boyfriend refered to is Marty McFly himself (boyfriend for a few days until he got his "mother" together with his "dad." Good idea for quiz.

	crs002:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 02:09 GMT	0 points
	He still got out of France? Their airport security must be as good as the U.S.'s.

	JakeA:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 05:59 GMT	8 points
	I dunno...maybe in "Sixth Sense" Bruce Willis just thought everyone was a really good listener.

	SirMarcus:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	-2 points
	i think this is a great quiz. you need to make it bigger though. or do sequels or something. how about the oceans 11 plot hole: Where do the flyers come from that are in the bags that are carried out of the vault and into the van? Danny and Linus couldn't have taken them down there and there is no room with the Chinese man. They are carried out to the van before the SWAT team appears, which means they'd have to have been in the vault to start with?

	I read the cracked article and couldn't really figure out how to word that so people would know what I was talking about. The big issue with a quiz like this is there really isn't a really good list out there besides the cracked article and tv tropes (which aren't very long or very good). I am now accepting catch me if you can for taken. Keep the comments coming

	Mr_Negative:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 19:23 GMT	2 points
	@zdub Except for one of his catch lines in that movie is "It's all part of the plan". And how he planned the two boat situation at the end? Planned the hostages disguised as guard? Planned the Harvey Dent/Rachel Dawes bombs and mixed up the directions? Etc. Etc. Etc. Anyway good quiz, but flys = flies.

	the one about Jurassic Park is not true - the cars pass by the T-Rex area, where there is a gigantic fence separating them from the dinosaur. the power then dies, disabling the electric fence, and the T-Rex attacks the fence and crosses over it. the pit (which one of the cars falls into) is on the spectators' side of the fence.

	@EyeKanFly: So Luke finished his Jedi training in a few days? I'm not sure what you're trying to point out, but the films make it clear that you need years of training to become a real jedi.

	fastdawg07:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 06:21 GMT	0 points
	Just a technicality, but didn't Taken come out in 2009. Not 2008? Just a minor error, but otherwise a very good quiz, well done.

	waterjoe:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 16:13 GMT	2 points
	The script for Citizen Kane is online in several places. It shows that both the maid and the servant, Raymond, heard Kane say "Rosebud."

	DirtyKash:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 16:17 GMT	5 points
	The biggest plot hole in the Back to the Future trilogy is in part 2, when Old Biff in 2015 steals the time machine, returns to 1955 to give himself (Young Biff) the sports almanac, thus altering the future, which would make it impossible for Old Biff to return to 2015 to put the time machine back in place, because Old Biff would be advancing in time to the Alternate 2015, as Doc Brown later explained.

	lawsoon:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 22:36 GMT	1 point
	catch me if you can doesn't work. the reason he got away was because he was so talented at forgery. also dark knight isn't a plot hole. the joker talks about how all he wants is chaos. there were multiple times he could have simply killed both batman and harvey dent and chose not to. the point was to highlight the evil in all people, not to simply kill the good guys. good quiz though.

	spurtle:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 00:49 GMT	2 points
	The Back To The Future one isn't really a plot hole. Who is to say that his family haven't noticed it before? You have to remember that when Marty changes things in the past (in the 50's) and then goes back to his present time and sees his family, that's not the first time they've seen him looking like that is it? With Marty being his own mum's ex boyfriend, now in his family's memory, the chances are if they had noticed the resemblance, they would have noticed it a while ago. It would be rather odd if they happened to suddenly bring it up in the scene where they're reunited, and that being the first time they noticed.
