I have insomnia and am bored. Amuse me. It would amuse me greatly if you named some really huge plot holes.

In Superman II, a "human" and "depowered" Clark Kent walks to the arctic while only wearing a flimsy jacket.

More significant: Earlier he flew Lois Lane there and then gave up his powers. How did he get her back to Metropolis?

"Citizen Kane": the whole plot revolves around Kane's dying word "Rosebud" but he dies alone so how does anyone know what he said?
"Fantastic Voyage": what happens to the wrecked sub left inside Benes after the crew members make their escape?
"The Big Sleep": who killed Owen Taylor? There's a huge set piece in which Taylor's car is pulled out of the bay but afterwards he's all but forgotten. Neither Raymond Chandler nor John Huston could work it out. Although someone claims to have killed him, neither book nor film ever clarify it.

In Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy, Smaug refers to Thorin as "Oakenshield," despite the fact that Thorin didn't earn that name until after Smaug took over the Lonely Mountain (and I seriously doubt he heard anything about it the few times that he left the mountain).

Who taught Luke Skywalker how to build a brand new lightsaber for ESB? His father's was left behind with Obi-Wan's robes on the Death Star.

I don't think he necessarily says it as he's dying, I simply think it was the last thing anyone heard him speak. He dies and drops the snow globe immediately after he says it and there is no one else present.

He dies and drops the snow globe immediately after he says it and there is no one else present. Maybe there was a video camera that happened to be recording in the room at that point, and someone watched the footage later and heard him say it. Okay, yeah, that's too much of a stretch. And it doesn't change the fact that they didn't explain it in the movie itself.

Apparently, we are to believe that someone heard him say "Rosebud" and are never told who."Fantastic Voyage": what happens to the wrecked sub left inside Benes after the crew members make their escape? If I'm not mistaken, and I may well be, I think this problem is somehow explained in the script.

"Toy Story" - Why does Buzz, who initially does not believe that he is a toy, "play dead" around humans?
The Terminator movies have a lot of plot holes

"Raiders of the Lost Ark": Indiana Jones stows away for an indefinite but fairly long ride on top of a submarine which could and most likely would submerge at any time. Noticed by me, my mom, and, as the "MAD" Magazine parody noted, "the ten million other people who have seen this movie."

If I'm not mistaken, and I may well be, I think this problem is somehow explained in the script.In Isaac Asimov's novelisation of "Fantastic Voyage" the crew persuade the white cell and its contents to follow them into the outside world just before the inevitable happens but in the movie, presumably for reasons of pace, they don't bother. What would happen to poor Benes as a result really doesn't bear thinking about.

In Diamonds Are Forever; Blofeld told Bond (who was using a voice changer to impersonate Bert Saxby.) to kill Willard Whyte at his summer house. When Bond gets to the house, the REAL Bert Saxby is there.
It wasn't him, Blofeld was talking to. It was Bond, impersonating him. So why is the real Saxby there?

In Terminator II, the man who used the robot hand to create the technology that eventually created Skynet is killed BEFORE he can do any of that. The second he died, the future should've been changed. Sarah Connor would have reverted back to being a waitress, she'd never have had John Connor, and there'd be no terminator from the future sent back to 1984 to kill her.
Yet, strangely, nothing like that happened!

Yet, strangely, nothing like that happened! Because they didn't really prevent Skynet from being created. They reveal this in the third film. But of course, if you're going by the original intentions of the filmmakers, than yeah, it's a plot hole.
