12 Movie Details That Just Throws Logic And Common Sense Out The Window

Over the years, Hollywood has given us some unbelievable stories. And you have to suspend your disbelief to some extent if you want to genuinely appreciate a movie. But occasionally, filmmakers overstep their bounds and demand too much of their audience by presenting us with a scene that is so absurd or inaccurate that it immediately pulls us out of the movie.Well, lately, u/xwhy asked, "What was the dumbest thing to kill your suspension of disbelief in a movie that required a lot of disbelief?" over on the r/movies forum. What was that one thing that just went too far and was too much? The thing that friends look and you and go, “That was what was too much for you? And the commenters did not disappoint. Some of the greatest replies are included below:

#1 "I love Mean Girls, but that scene where Regina George gets hit by a bus, while actually being very funny, also completely takes me out of the movie. She's standing in the street for a long time before a bus, that somehow doesn't see her, plows through her at full speed, all while making no sound whatsoever before it hits her."

#2 "In Iron Man, when they introduce Tony Stark as graduating summa cum laude at MIT. MIT doesn’t have Latin honors."

#3 "In Ready Player One, an army of game players descend upon the video game fortress in the third challenge. You see a LOT of pop culture references from the Iron Giant to Tracer from Overwatch, because those are the avatars the players chose. The thing that didn't make sense to me was that each avatar was unique. There was only one Tracer, for example. You can't tell me that there wouldn't be duplicate avatars in such an army."

#4 "That scene in Batman Returns when Bruce rips off the mask and his black eye makeup just disappears as if he isn't actually wearing any the whole movie."

#5 "In the Planet of the Apes remake, Estella Warren plays a human slave, wearing pelts and a loin cloth and living a tortured existence. But she looks stunning. She has flawless skin, bright red lipstick, and her hair looks freshly done at all times."

#6 "In Independence Day, when the aliens blow up Manhattan, the Empire State Building is shown to be on its own, unobstructed in a clearing between streets. It’s actually on the corner of 34th Street and 5th Avenue, so the camera angle is impossible."

#7 "For some reason, the helicopters carrying around the giant metal robots in Pacific Rim really pissed me off. It just looked so implausible. I know it's a movie with a bunch of other impossible things happening, but for some reason that stuck out to me."

#8 "In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull — a movie with aliens, a teenager swinging from vines alongside monkeys, and alien ghosts — the most unbelievable part was when Indiana Jones is in a refrigerator being flung hundreds of yards by a nuclear explosion, is fast enough to pass a car going full speed, and emerges completely unharmed."

#9 "In the movie Van Helsing, it was the grey sweater that Hugh Jackman wore. Like, everyone else had a vaguely Victorian steampunk-looking outfit, but his sweater looked like it was straight off the Gap clearance rack."

#10 "In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, they escaped the Goblin King's lair by scooting down a chasm on a physics-defying rickety tower that somehow always stayed upright while bouncing off rock faces. That was Looney Tunes-level silly."

#11 "In The Queen‘s Gambit, when Anya Taylor-Joy's character loses control of her life, and she’s sitting there in a satin nightgown with perfect hair and makeup. Sure. That’s what I look like when I lose control over my life too."

#12 ""The opening of A Quiet Place, when the camera pans to a newspaper vending machine and the headline reads, 'It’s Sound!!' I could not get past the idea that the world is being destroyed by creatures with such super hearing that we later see children playing Monopoly with pieces of felt because the sound of plastic on chipboard will evidently risk death, and yet someone was able to publish this newspaper. A newspaper that was proofed, edited, typeset, and printed, probably on a printing press — something that's absurdly loud. And then some poor schlub had to brave their way through the streets, dodging sound monsters as the sun was coming up, so they could drive around the city and fill vending machines with newspapers. I know it’s a throwaway moment in the movie, and I get that it’s an homage to sci-fi Movies of the '50s, but it’s just so dumb when you think about it."
