Plot Holes


I think the biggest plot hole was when Jodie was being chased by the cops. In a split second decision, she hid in that little house on the playground,(I guess thats what it was). Who does she find in there, the hitman Dennis Hopper. How in the world did he know she was going to hide in there, he couldn't even look outside to see where she would go. Another bad hole, the helicopter, how did Dennis know it was air worthy or if it had fuel. He tried to stall the hitmen to the last minute. If the helicopter had not had fuel, he and Jodie would have been toast. He didn't even check for the ignition key. And who would have left a multi-million dollar aircraft all alone without some sort of security, in the middle of nowhere.

1. It's a movie...inexplicable things often happen in movies because well, otherwise it would be just like real life and we wouldn't want to watch it.

2. Hard to say, but I assumed the helicopters belonged to the mob dudes, since the road was a dead end and who else would put them there. Again, it's a movie...it is so believable that a *professional* hitman would wave his gun around in a moving car like an idiot and accidentally shoot another passenger? But Pulp Fiction is good because critics told us so.

Yes, Dennis Hopper just happening to be inside the little house at the playground was absurd, but . . . . a professional hitman letting his female victim get into a position to knee him in the balls was absurder.

Another plot hole is asking the truck driver's girl to mail the envelope (with the audio tape) addressed to "Margaret", seconds after telling her it's for her "ex-husband".

The helicopter ought to have had at least half a tank of fuel to get back to wherever it took off from.
