Did the Russian boycott the 1984 games?

They did indeed, not a pothole then

Not a plothole.

Surprisingly the Rocky series doesn't have many plotholes - Mickey's age I mentioned last week is the big obvious one.

Here's another for ya; Rocky V takes place only 1 year after the events of IV - Rocky Jr was only a toddler in IV but is a teenager in V Thumbs Down

Also. Butkus never seen/mentioned ever again after Rocky II

Here's a few. 

A few punches from Drago kills Apollo yet Rocky is getting hit dozens of times and is still grand.

Rocky's huse in Rocky IV to the one he returns home to in rocky V is a completely different house.  All that brain damage caused him to go to someone else's house.

How is Apollo able to pop over to Rocky's for a chat about a comeback with Drago when he was in his outdoor pool in California a few mins before?

The punch which kills Apollo is a left hook but later on in the flashbacks he's being hit with a right hand.

These 2v1 Boxing matches are unfair I tell ya.

OK another little thing he mentions his kid who should be in bed.

Now I know Rocky ain't the smartest and might not know about time zones.

But moscow is +3 GMT
Philadelphia is - 5 GMT an 8 hour time difference. 

Meaning unless the fight took place  in the early morning in Russia it would be a reasonable time in Philadelphia.

Watched Scarface there last night.  Several plot holes:

Tony Montana is able to walk into Lopez motors at 3am with 2 lads all carrying guns.  Lopez being a big time drug dealer has no locks on his doors??

Secondly what in the name of God is he doing there at 3am?

Thirdly the scene starts with him on the phone hearing news his little league team won the championship.  Who is ringing him at 3am on a landline with that news?

Fourthly: Montana falls out with that lad from Peru or Columbia or wherever by refusing to blow up the fella giving a speech at the UN.

Montana flies straight home to Miami and looks for his best friend.  He discovers his sister is also missing and then go to an address.  Its his mates gaff but doesn't seem to know. If its not his house then Mani doesn;t seem at all surprised to answer the door to Tony.Confused

Tony shoots him.


Then they go straight back tohis big house.  By now Montana is a the biggest drug dealer in Miami. Yet has a grand total of 3 lads for securityConfused

Then the house is raised by what appears to be at least 20 hitmen from Peru.  That was quick.


Also earlier int eh film Montana is up for jail time yet is able to leave the country to go to Peru to meet Mr Sosa Confused

Was this film written by John Sullivan?

A plot hole you didn't mention in Scarface is the one where they get rid of Robert Loggia.

After the failed assassination attempt, Pacino gets someone to ring Loggia and say "we fecked up, he got away". Loggia looks confused, hangs up and tells Pacino that it was Michelle Pfeiffer on the line.

This is somehow proof that Loggia was behind the assassination!

Being confused, and not telling Pacino who was on the line, is exactly how you'd expect Loggia to act, whether he was guilty or innocent! 

Especially as the guy calling couldn't have been involved in the assassination - Pacino would have killed him earlier in the film!
