Sometimes films just don’t make total sense, and this can be for a variety of reasons but for the purpose of this article, we’re talking plot holes. These are those momentary or prolonged lapses in logic, when the storyline goes in a strange direction, something happens when it couldn’t possibly happen or something very far-fetched and “unbelievable” happens.
Oftentimes, you may not notice these plot holes until you have seen the film a few times or are paying extremely close attention while other times you catch them right away. Either way, here are 10 of the most major plot holes in movie history.
15. Whiplash’s Attack In Iron Man 2
In Iron Man 2, Mickey Rourke’s Ivan Vanko/Whiplash targets Tony Stark (Roberty Downey Jr.) during the Grand Prix de Monaco, disguising himself as a crewman before walking on the track and using his arc-powered whips to slice Tony’s car in two. As far as assassination plots go, it’s admittedly not great but it seems like Vanko at least put some thought and planning into it. The problem? Stark’s entrance into the race was a last minute decision and was never planned or announced beforehand, so Vanko would have had no way of knowing he’d even be in the race.
Either Vanko is incredibly lucky or a mind reader, or else there’s no way he could have been prepared to take Stark out in such a way so quickly. However, it’s not like it was a secret that Tony would be in attendance at the event, so the smarter play arguably would have been for Vanko to attack his target while he was grabbing drinks in the lounge prior to the race.
