The choice of a Delorean was strange too. While it looked the part, it was pricey, very underpowered and unreliable. He would of been better off getting something better value, saving his money to buy the plutonium on the black market rather than ripping off the Libyans and getting himself shot.

Yeah but that's what caused the initial headscratcher on how they could fuel it but there was another delorean there already. The one the doc went back to 1855 in after it was struck by lightning in the second film. you'd think there was fuel in that one that they could use in the one with the damaged fuel tank.

also the reactor/mr fusion only powered the flux capacitor, the car still relied on it's own power to get to 88mph.

Was the Delorean not powered by cocaine?
In anyway, Austin Powers. When the fembots are after him, he thinks of "Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day" to resist their charms. How does someone frozen in time from the 60s to the 90s know who Thatcher is? I hope someone got fired for that one!

This was needed to power the flux capacitor and had nothing to do with making the car move. And as Sausy said for the second bit.

Earlier in the film he looks back over the history of what he missed while frozen. It is very much explained

Must have been some refresher course for him to suddenly imagine Thatcher with her kit off.

It's a comedy. Plus I'd imagine the first female prime minister would have been a big talking point and a big part of history

The end of the film Argo.
The Americans are on board a jumbo jet, trying to make good their escape from Tehran after the Islamic revolution. Their cover is blown just as they are leaving, so the Iranians give chase. This amounts to a car chase down the runway. But just as the Iranians catch the plane, it takes off. According to the film, the Americans are now safe! What a load of nonsense! The plane is still obviously in Iranian air-space, and will be for the next two or three hours! All the Iranians have to do is order the plane to return to the airport! Or send up a fighter to make it return if it doesn't comply! What's worse is that this film is based on a true story. When Hollywood says something is based on truth, that usually means it's complete fiction. And that's what the chase was - totally made up. So not only did it not happen, but it made no sense either! Some writer or executive decided that the film needed a car chase in order to create a bit of drama and tension. How bad at film making do you need to be to add a car chase to a political movie, that was so ridiculous it would have been rejected by the makers of the A-Team as derivative!

That bit wrecked my head too. I read the book and they actually left Iran in a Delorean.

Tehran is in the north of the country but even if it wasn't and it was smack bang in the middle of the country, they would not be still in Iranian airspace for 2/3 hours. I know Iran is a large country all the same. The car chase is typical Hollywood nonsense but it's a movie not a documentary. The most egregious thing about that film was the bit part the Canadian Ambassador played in getting them out when he did far more. It was mostly a Canadian operation with the CIA playing a small role. As far as I remember the Canadians were hopping over it.

Do ridiculous twists count as plot holes?
In Jennifer 8, Uma Thurman plays a blind woman who has a serial killer out to get her. In the final scene, she is chased through a building by the killer. She goes out of his view for a second, but he finds her again and gives chase. However, once he finally catches up, it turns out that it is no longer Uma Thurman, it's a cop dressed just like Thurman, who kills the killer. So the plot is, the cops put a blind woman in danger in order to give the killer a "gotcha" moment. Uma Thurman could have been killed, but it was worth it to prank the killer, instead of just arresting him!

It's been a long time since I saw it but Prometheus seemed like one massive plot hole. Maybe someone breaking up with me by text while I was in the cinema watching it has tainted my view of it forever but it was an awful movie IMO.
