You thought an Insurance broker based in Sandyford in Dublin is the Mig reference in a Hollywood fictional movie based on US Navy fighter pilots?

The silence of the lambs.

How does Letcer get the pen? Does not seem remotely possible from the scenes shown yet he somehow had a critical part of it in Memphis when he uses a piece of it to unlock the handcuffs and kill the two cops.

Time Cop.

Just like Back to the Future, Jean Claude Van Damme ends up in a time-line where he doesn't belong. 

He's missed years of his relationship with his wife and has a child that he has never known. 

And what happened to the other Van Damme, that actually lived that life? He is erased from history somehow!

In Meet the Parents, at the dinner table, Greg alludes to having a large family (fighting over Chinese food) with at least one sister mentioned as he tells a tale from childhood.

Well fast forward to Meet the Fockers and it’s quite clear that young Gregory is an only child.

Get out of that one Perry.

Halloween H2O. After JLC hijacks the ambulance at gunpoint, the cops don't follow her for ages. She's driving the ambulance on a winding clifftop road with an unconscious Michael Myers in a bodybag in the back. What was her end goal? Death to both of them, or death to just her, were both viable options after he was rousted. Seems like she could've got to the end result a lot more conveniently than dealing with him trying to kill her while focusing on driving at the same time.

From memory does she chop his head off at the end?  If so how does he come back in the last couple of Halloween films?Confused  His head was firmly attached to his torso in those.

In T2 how come Arnie doesn't disappear into a puff of smoke when they destroyed the last of the original Terminator?  Surely he would then never have existed as they changed the way the future would go

Its also a fact that Miles Dyson discontinued his work on building robots and instead used the Terminator technology to invent a vacuum cleaner and very quick hand dryer.

There's also problems in the first Terminator movie.

Kyle Reese is sent back to keep Sarah Connor safe, but instead of getting her immediately out of danger, he stalks her and waits for the Terminator to attack.

It's only through luck that she isn't killed at the dance club! The Terminator gets within feet of her, and Sarah Connor only survives because other revellers act as bullet sponges.

Maybe it's not technically a plot-hole, but in a movie where mankind's only hope is this woman not being killed, Reese goes out of his way to play the part of the world's worst bodyguard!

What is more important in that movie is how Sarah Connor is not repulsed by a man wearing smelly pants robbed from a homeless drunk who no doubt has shat and pissed his pants but instead shags him before he has even showered.

Don't homeless people in LA shower for free at public beaches? Maybe he smelled okay?

Read somewhere that Biehn and Arnie have never actually talked to each other even during that scene, they wanted to keep it as authentic as possible, both thought the scene would be more realistic if they avoided each other.
Del Boy: You do know what a pyscopath is dont you Grandad

Grandad: Of course i know what a Pyscopath is, its a fella who dresses up in womens clothes.

Thinking about Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton got me to thinking about Aliens, which got me to thinking about what movie has the best ensemble cast. Aliens has to be up there. Sigourney Weaver is the prototypical female action heroine, Biehn, Paxton, Mark Rolston, woman who played Vasquez, guy who played Apone. Every role is perfectly cast and there are so many great character actors who turn up in lots of movies during the best era of cinema.
